"My Heart's GPS: You"

You eat my pasta and leave no bite,

Calls me 'pangit' but it feels so right

You pranked me hard then laughed like a loon

Woman you're my sunshine and my typhoon

We started as friends with jokes and flair

Trading emojis and memes we'd share

You teased my pasta, I mocked your rice

Who knew teasing could feel this nice?

Then we kept chatting both day and night

Typing 'good morning' until it feels right

You send me funny selfies, I send bad puns

Somehow this bond weighs more than tons

Across the distance, love found its way

From silly chats to 'i miss you' each day

You're my favorite notification, my sweetest ping

We still haven't met yet you're my everything

- Luke Morrone (05'06'25)

Home 💙

Today, I just want to pause and thank the Lord for one of the greatest blessings in my life — my family.

In a world that's constantly changing, they are my safe place, my home, my steady ground.

Through laughter and tears, victories and struggles, they have been God's tangible expression of love and grace in my life.

I'm grateful for the simple moments — the conversations over dinner, the quiet support during tough days, the unconditional love that asks for nothing in return.

Thank You, Lord, for each hug, each word of encouragement, each lesson learned, and even the challenges that have made our bond stronger.

I pray that You continue to protect them, strengthen our love for one another, and always remind us to cherish the gift of family every single day.

May our home always be a reflection of Your goodness, kindness, and endless grace.

Thank you, Jesus.

Love,

Fhy❤️

God, I just want to say thank You — truly, from the deepest part of my heart. You��ve carried me through moments I didn’t think I’d survive. You’ve given me peace in the middle of storms that should’ve broken me. I’ve cried, I’ve questioned, I’ve doubted... but You never let go. You were there, steady and unshaken, handling battles I didn’t even see coming.

I look back and realize how many things worked out because of You — not luck, not coincidence, but Your hand guiding it all. You’ve protected me from things I thought I wanted. You’ve opened doors I never expected and closed ones I had no business walking through. And even when I didn’t understand Your timing, I see now it was perfect.

Thank You for the strength when I felt weak, for the calm when everything felt chaotic, and for the quiet reassurance that I’m never walking this life alone. I don’t know how You do it, but I’m so grateful You do. I trust You with my past, my present, and everything that’s still ahead — because You’ve never failed me, not once.

I love you, Jesus.

Love,

Fhy❤️

Rest. God is handling every detail.

My Dearest Joymee,🕊

It’s been 941 days since you’ve been gone. I still remember how shocked we all were by your sudden passing. You were one of the kindest, happiest, most thoughtful, and honest people I’ve ever met. You were the kind of person everyone loved because of your pure and beautiful heart. That’s why we were all so deeply saddened when you left us.

As your best friend, I grieved so much. It felt like half of me was lost when you were gone. I couldn’t help but ask, why—when heaven was short-staffed—did it have to be you that God took? I asked Him, “Of all the people, why you?” There are so many people who do wrong in this world, yet it was you—so kind, so good—who was taken.

But truly, God is good. He is merciful. He always has a reason for everything, even when we don’t understand. And I will never stop thanking Him for what He did for you.

As the Bible says in Isaiah 57:1:

This verse made me realize that everything that happens in our lives has a purpose—whether it's something good or something painful. God always sees the bigger picture, even when we can’t.

I miss you every single day, but I hold on to the hope that one day, we’ll see each other again in heaven. I’ll carry the memories we shared, your laughter, and your kindness in my heart forever. Thank you for being the kind of friend that leaves a mark on someone’s soul.

Until we meet again,

Love,

Fhy❤️

Sunrises and sunsets are beautiful, painting the sky with hues that stir our hearts and souls, reminding us of the delicate balance between beginnings and endings. The way the sun rises to greet the world with warmth and promise, and how it sets at the close of the day in a brilliant array of colors, speaks to the cycles of life we all experience. In the same way, our lives are filled with moments of new beginnings and inevitable endings, each carrying its own unique beauty and significance.

Just as the sun marks the start of a fresh day and signals its end, every phase in life is an opportunity for growth, reflection, and transformation. We often focus on the end of things, fearing what’s to come, but it’s important to remember that endings can be as beautiful as beginnings. It’s the closure of one chapter that allows us to open a new one, and each ending is simply the beginning of something else, whether it's a new opportunity, a lesson learned, or a chance for reinvention.

The beauty of a sunset is a perfect reminder that we should cherish every moment, as we don’t always know when the next chapter will arrive. So, live your life as if it’s your last—embrace each moment with gratitude, love, and purpose. Appreciate the sunrises for their promise of a new day, and find peace in the sunsets as they give us time to reflect. Life is fleeting, and every day is a precious gift that we should not take for granted. Live fully, love deeply, and always seek the beauty in both the beginnings and the endings, for they both hold the magic that makes life extraordinary.

The most nostalgic TITANIC movie. Even though "My Heart Will Go On"

Okay, so I'm going to be honest. I've seen Titanic a million times. Seriously. And every single time, I'm a blubbering mess by the end. It's not just nostalgia; it's something deeper. James Cameron's Titanic isn't just a movie; it's an experience.

I remember the first time I saw it – I was probably in college, completely captivated by the sheer scale of the ship, the opulence of first class, and the stark contrast with the cramped quarters of steerage. It was a visual feast, even then, and the special effects still blow me away. But beyond the spectacle, it was the story that truly resonated. And every time I hear the song 'My Heart Will Go On,' it's not Celine Dion that comes first in my mind, it's the Titanic movie.

Rose and Jack. Ugh, the chemistry! DiCaprio and Winslet are just phenomenal. Their love story felt so real, so achingly beautiful, and tragically doomed. I completely understood Rose's yearning for freedom, her rebellion against a life dictated by societal expectations. And Jack's unwavering kindness and passion? Heart-stopping. I've always rooted for the underdog, and Jack is the ultimate underdog. Even though their love story ended tragically in the movie, it's still so nice seeing them as best friends in real life.

The sinking scenes are still terrifyingly realistic. I can practically feel the cold, the chaos, the sheer panic. It's a masterclass in suspense and visual storytelling. Fun fact: I'm scared to ride on a ship because of this movie. Haha, And the emotional weight of the final scene? Let's just say I could cry so much, I'd need a whole box of tissues — and maybe some extra-strength snot-absorbing tissues too! Lol.

But it's not just the romance. The film also offers a fascinating glimpse into the social inequalities of the time. The difference between the lives of the first-class passengers and those in steerage is stark and heartbreaking. It adds a layer of complexity to the story, making the tragedy even more poignant.

Yes, it's long. Yes, some parts might drag a little. But honestly, I don't care. The emotional payoff is worth it. Titanic is more than just a movie; it's a timeless love story, a historical drama, and a breathtaking cinematic achievement. It's a film that stays with you long after the credits roll is the mark of a true masterpiece. And yes, I still cry every time. Don't judge me. Lol. My best friend Joymee loves this movie too, but we can never watch it together. I hope she met the real Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater in heaven.⛴️🕊🤎

I can't remember exactly when I started following her on YouTube, but I'm so glad I did. She's incredibly talented – her paintings, drawings, and everything she creates are truly magical. I find myself wishing I had even a fraction of her skill. It's inspiring to see someone so passionate and gifted. ❤️🖌✏️🖍

FOODIESSS!!!🍽

I'm not a food expert nor a food vlogger, but I've recently loved taking pictures of what I eat. There's something so satisfying about capturing the colors, textures, and even the imperfections of a meal. I find it very comforting. It feels like even though my food is not fancy, I can still feel the beauty of the food. 🍝🍜🍛🍱🍢🥗

"Long LOST Journey"

Lost. You either loved it, you hated it, or you were somewhere in between.

Lost is a captivating, thrilling show that I couldn't resist binge-watching, despite my usual aversion to it. The mysteries and cliffhangers are undeniably addictive. However, the show does have its flaws.

While it excels at introducing intriguing mysteries, it doesn't always deliver satisfying answers. The series finale, supposedly meant to tie up loose ends, actually created even more questions. This frustrating pattern persists throughout the series. You’re left wondering if some mysteries will ever be solved, even though you initially believe everything will be revealed in the end.

While major plot points are addressed, some minor details are introduced solely for intrigue and left unexplained. Additionally, the character-driven narrative suffers from pacing issues, particularly in the first three seasons. Certain episodes feel unnecessary, as if they were only included to meet a required episode count.

Despite these flaws, my favorite characters are Sawyer and Juliet. I'm not a great critic when it comes to acting, but these two had really good chemistry. I know many fans are rooting for Sawyer and Kate's love story, but I found myself rooting for Sawyer and Juliet. They clicked in a very unexpected way. Their scene where Juliet fell into the hole because they planned to destroy the Dharma Initiative station and Sawyer was really heartbroken when he didn't save Juliet from falling and leading to her tragic end was incredibly touching and showed how deeply they understood each other. The show boasts a phenomenal ensemble of actors, each delivering memorable performances.

If you're seeking a mystery-centric show, Lost is worth a watch, but be prepared for a long journey. Some episodes may feel slow or unnecessary, but they ultimately build to the intensity of the bigger events.

Season Rating:

- S5:  My favorite season; fast-paced and captivating.

- S4:  A refreshing change from previous seasons, with a distinct feel from beginning to end.

- S3, S1, S2:  Equally great seasons, with S3 shedding light on the mysteries established in the first two seasons.

- S6:  While it attempted to tie everything together, it felt disjointed and left some questions unanswered.

"The Grimmazing Journey of the Real World with Wesens"

I'm not sure what year I first watched the first season of The Grimm, whether it was 2016 or 2017. I really like the story. I'm so happy that I was able to continue and rewatch it again, along with seasons 2-6, on Loklok.

The character of Nick Burkhardt, a Portland detective who discovers he's a "Grimm," a descendant of a long line of hunters who protect humanity from Wesen, creatures of myth and legend who blend seamlessly into human society, is fascinating.

The show is a fascinating exploration of the dark side of folklore, with Wesen ranging from the terrifying (Blutbad, a werewolf-like creature) to the comical (Wesen with the ability to shapeshift into a variety of animals). Nick's journey is further complicated by his relationship with Juliette Silverton, his girlfriend who becomes aware of his true nature and eventually develops powers of her own.

In the earlier seasons, I was really annoyed by Adalind, but in the later seasons, the story changed so much that she and Nick became my favorites, even though everyone else was still rooting for Juliette and Nick. Their chemistry was so captivating, even though I knew Juliette and Nick were a couple in real life.

I love all the characters, including Hank, Wu, Monroe, Truble, and Rosalee. They really balanced out the intense scenes. I especially loved how they brought a sense of humor and camaraderie to the show, even in the midst of all the supernatural danger. And of course, I can't forget Captain Renard! His character was so complex and intriguing, with his loyalties often shifting between the Wesen and the human world. His connection to the royal bloodline of the Wesen added another layer of intrigue to the story.

Overall, "Grimm" was a captivating journey that combined compelling characters, intricate mythology, and a healthy dose of suspense. It was a show that kept me on the edge of my seat, eager to see what would happen next, and I'm definitely glad I took the plunge into its fantastical world.

The final season of Grimm, Season 6, is a let down purely because it was short and rushed and needed to wrap up loose ends in a hurry, so the actual final episode wasn't the greatest.

I'm sure many people are hoping they create another series just as I am, either continuing the story where they left it with Diana, Kelly, and the triplets 20 years later or creating a new story with new characters! I'd definitely be keen on watching it regardless. 🧟🧟‍♀️

" Still Magic After All These Years "✨️

The Harry Potter films hold a special place in my heart. They weren't just movies; they were a significant part of my adolescence. I recently rewatched them again after many years, and I'm still hooked by the story. The feeling of stepping into Hogwarts for the first time, alongside Harry, Ron, and Hermione, was pure magic- a wave of nostalgia washed over me, bringing back vivid memories of childhood wonder and the comforting familiarity of a beloved world. It's more than just nostalgia, though; the themes of friendship, courage, and the fight against injustice resonate just as powerfully now as they did then.

All the Harry Potter movies are good, but everyone has their favorites. I really like The Prisoner of Azkaban and Deathly Hallows 2. In Prisoner of Azkaban, I love the part where Harry sees Sirius Black, his godfather, again. It's a really touching moment, showing how happy they are to be together after so long. I wish they had more scenes together, but even the few they are important to the story.

At first, I thought Snape was the bad guy, but Deathly Hallows Part 2 changed everything. Finding out he'd secretly been protecting Harry because he loved Harry's mom, Lily, was really sad and touching. It made me cry. The movie showed how much Snape gave up, how loyal he was, and how much he loved Lily. It was one of the best and most emotional parts of the whole series. It shows how good storytelling can be and how complicated people can be.

Everyone did a great job acting in the Harry Potter movies. Voldemort was especially scary and well-acted; he made the movies exciting and suspenseful. The movies did a great job showing how evil and determined he was. All in all, the Harry Potter movies are amazing. They're full of memorable characters and exciting stories that will always stay with me.✨️

"From Page to Screen: It Ends With Us review from the heart"

"It Ends With Us" is one of my favorite Colleen Hoover books. The story is special because it talks about family, love, friendship, and the pain of abuse in a really interesting way. It shows how these things affect people's lives.

I was so happy when they said it was going to be a movie. I love Blake Lively, ever since I saw her in "The Age of Adaline," so I had high hopes. I knew the book was amazing, so I expected the movie to be just as good.

I saw the movie last night, and it was good, but not as great as I hoped. It didn't have that "wow" moment that makes a movie unforgettable. When you love a book, you remember all the important parts, and you want to see them perfectly in the movie. Some of those special parts felt missing.

But hey, that's just my opinion! Everyone likes different things, even movies. I appreciate all the hard work the actors, crew, and everyone else did to make the movie. And I know all of Colleen Hoover's fans are happy to see her story on the big screen.

"Why Prison Break is More Than Just an Escape Story"

The storyline, the suspense, and the way each episode leaves you on the edge of your seat—it's just incredible! The chemistry between the characters, especially Michael and Lincoln, is so compelling, and the twists in the plot keep you hooked from start to finish. As for the bad guys like T-Bag, Bellick, Mahone, and others, they initially get on your nerves, making you think they should just disappear. Haha! 😅 But by the end, you'll love them and even cry for them!! ❤️🥺

There are a lot of characters in this show, which can be tricky when dealing with over 20, but the creators handled it beautifully. A single episode might not show all the characters, and some might be gone for many episodes, but they always come back with a bang. 🖤 Moreover, the show feels realistic because their attempts sometimes fail, and their plans get messed up. How they handle those situations is what Prison Break is all about.

The intricate escape plans, the cleverness of the writing, and the heart-pounding moments make it impossible to look away. Every time I watch it, I discover something new and am reminded of how amazing this series truly is. Whether it's the action, the emotion, or the thrill of outsmarting impossible situations, Prison Break delivers on every level. This is definitely one of those shows you can watch over and over again and still be just as amazed.🧡📺🎬

"An Unexpected Friendly Encounter"

He found me online, a swipe and a smile,

A chance encounter, a dating app trial.

We chatted a bit, but I felt no spark, no connection,

He asked me out, a chance for affection.

"Hindi naman siguro niya 'ko isisilid sa drum"

My mind flashed with jokes, a silly, funny painter.

He seemed genuine, kind, and a bit shy,

But I wasn't sure, so I gave it a try.

First date, a thrill, a new place to explore,

Rides and laughter, our hearts felt so sore.

He seemed nice, a friendly sort, no pressure,

Just enjoying the day, a happy adventure.

The rides left us weary, our bodies worn thin,

We boarded the bus, a quiet, gentle din.

He reached for my hand, a gesture so kind,

But I drew back, a feeling I couldn't define.

The second date came, a casual greeting,

But my heart remained steady, in its own space.

He craved a connection, a chat every day,

But my heart wasn't ready, a different way.

He hoped for more, a deeper kind of bond,

But I just saw a friend, a smile beyond.

Our paths diverged, a story untold,

A friendship blossoming, but a love not to behold.

"Sweet Nostalgia in a Cup"

Taho is more than just a breakfast food in the Philippines. It's a warm, comforting memory of early mornings and the familiar call of the taho vendor echoing through the streets. It's a taste of home, a little slice of Filipino nostalgia.

The creamy tofu, the sweet syrup (arnibal), and the chewy tapioca pearls (sago) create a symphony of textures and flavors that always satisfy.

When I was a kid, taho was a simple treat. But now, there are many new kinds! I tried strawberry taho recently, and it was delicious. It still tasted like the taho I loved as a child, but the strawberry added a fresh, exciting touch. The sweetness of the strawberry blended perfectly with the sugar in the syrup, and it wasn't too sweet. It was a fun new way to enjoy a classic.

Whether it's the familiar comfort of the original taho or the exciting twist of new flavors, this Filipino treat continues to bring joy and warmth to every generation. Taho is a reminder that simple pleasures can be the most satisfying, and that a little bit of nostalgia can always make life sweeter.🤎

P E R Y A 🎪🎡🎢🎠

​- is a carnival, town fair and casino rolled into one. It is an essential highlight of Filipino fiestas for the past few decades. This showcase provides entertainment to the town folks with its different features including rides, games and shows. It is a business, a livelihood for the Perya workers.

If there is one thing that I am most proud of about local carnivals like Perya in the Philippines, it is that they bring people together, laugh together, and enjoy the moments as family and friends. In my heart, Perya has always been part of my younger life that contains good and happy memories. I would definitely recommend letting foreigners come to my area to experience the fun of Perya. It's a kind of Filipino culture that ignites pure happiness in us all.❤️
