Dear Daniel,

Thank you for making the past four years of my TV life exciting. Thank you for your dumb comments and your sensitive antics that made me appreciate you more.
But most importantly, thank you for falling in love with betty.
At the beginning, i seriously thought you’d be another one of those lame TV characters that everyone gets a crush on.
but after watching tonight’s episode, i just fell over and fell in love with your character.
you fell in love with the quirky girl with braces and glasses.

new york’s hottest bachelor fell in love with the Hispanic girl who everyone thought was a loser.

of course, betty has some strong points, i mean for one thing, she’s not an airhead, but that’s not the point.

also you let betty go, just when she needed to concentrate on who she needed to be first, and you came at the right time.

thank you daniel for making me hope again, thank you for making me believe that someday, there would be a daniel meade waiting for me in London.
Until then, i’ll watch Ugly Betty over and over again because looking at the both of you is simply magic.

it’s like saying goodbye to your bestfriend



it marks an end of an era for me. an era of betty, daniel and mode.


only a few minutes ago, i finally said goodbye to Ugly Betty and their whole twisted world.

i’ve always been a fan of ugly betty since i’ve always loved America Fererra and I remember clearly watching the Spanish version when i was a kid.

Ugly Betty never failed me, not even once. I came across Betty just a few months after i graduated from college and from the first episode alone, i immediately fell in love with her simply because i know that i could relate to her and her quirkiness.

in my heart, i knew that i was betty. i didn’t have the braces, but i definitely had the glasses and the optimism.

and now that the series concluded, seriously i am still in tears.

don’t get me wrong, i absolutely loved the ending! i loved the fact that betty ended up with daniel and that daniel finally turned his life around and all because of this quirky secretary who was wearing a hideous poncho on her first day at work.

betty was there for me on my first day at work in 2007. she was there for me in the mornings while getting ready for work that i no longer want to go to. betty made me feel that someday i’d find my henry, who eventually became gio, who later on became matt and who eventually fell on daniel.

isn’t that amazing? i love it because finally, the nice girl gets the hot guy and it’s not for ego’s sake.

we’re all little, bettys inside. we all feel that we don’t deserve the kind of love that changes us from the inside out. we don’t think that just because we’re not a size 4 we don’t deserve our very own daniel meade.

but look at betty, she was hired because bradford thought that daniel would never take an interest in her, and look where she is, four years later, in London, falling in love with daniel meade.

it’s not just about daniel meade really.

it’s about the fact that in four years, despite all the challenges that she faced, despite all the pain and the heartbreak, betty remained positive and she believed that no matter what, things were going to turn around for good.

and they did.

as betty walked into the busy streets of London, i felt my heart pump with excitement because even in the littlest things you see that God works and He is real.

seeing the conclusion of betty tonight just really made me hopeful, that soon enough, things will turn out the way that He wants them to.

and soon enough, when i least expect it, daniel meade will walk into my life and it would definitely be worth it.

just ask betty.

I DARE YOU


i just finished reading “I Dare You” by Joyce Meyer and there are so many quotes from that book i’d probably be needing more than three blog entries to write them all down.


basically it says, “Jesus died for you to have the best kind of life possible here on earth, not while waiting for Heaven.”

and it’s wonderful because she doesn’t just talk about monetary wealth but she speaks about wealth in all areas of our life including our relationships, emotions and our health.

God expects to give us nothing but the best and we have to accept that. She also discusses the use of struggles in our lives and it made so much sense, basically it’s all about delayed gratification.

God wants us prepared when He hands us the blessing which is why He trains us. He doesn’t want to spoil the wonderful plan He has for our lives which is why He wants to make sure we’re ready.

The book just really left me feeling renewed about God’s love and how we shouldn’t rely on our emotions and we shouldn’t give the devil any room to control our emotions. it really made me think twice about how i’ve been responding to people lately and my emotions. i no longer want to give in to my emotions, i no longer want to be the girl who is controlled by it.

i want to live a life that reflects God’s goodness. i want a life that doesn’t give in to anger. i want a life that counts and a life that encourages other people as well.

i want that kind of life and from now on, i dare myself to live in the best way possible.

i want a matt too

I love Ugly Betty and I don’t know how many tears i’d be shedding once the series is over.

Ugly Betty came out around the same time that I started working and i know that there’s just this connection between us, it’s as if i could relate to Betty’s life and quirky personality.
Another thing I loved about this particular series is that no matter how Betty looks or what she wears, there’s always an amazing guy who falls for her and everything real about her.
Betty doesn’t change for a guy to like her and that has been inspiring.
And her last relationship (i’m only in episode 11 so don’t ruin it for me although i’d like to think that i’m the only person watching Ugly Betty) with Matt Hartley just left my knees weak.
For one thing, Matt adores Betty’s quirkiness and despite being from entirely different backgrounds, Matt adjusts to Betty and vice versa.
Matt is not afraid to show his feelings for Betty and the amazing thing about it is that he never fails to tell Betty how special he thinks she is.
So imagine the state that I was in when i learned that Matt was leaving for Africa and once again left Betty loveless. It totally broke my heart because i do believe that you only meet this kind of guy once and for him to leave could just be the start of having cats as companions as we know it.
But Betty did it for a good cause, she wanted Matt to feel good about himself and have a complete life before they settle together (oh will they settle in together? or will he just leave?!).
It’s so heartbreaking because Betty had a good thing going on.
Okay, i totally forgot the point of this entry.
Yes, Matt. *sigh*
Do Matts even exist anymore?

Yes, He Loves Me


no matter what it is you’re going through: GOD LOVES YOU.


this is an amazing fact that sometimes i forget or deem impossible because if anyone knew who i really was 24/7, flaws and all, they may not like me.

i keep forgetting that God isn’t just anyone, that HE IS GOD and on my loneliest of days, He is there, a prayer away. that my prayers don’t have to take an hour to get to him, a whisper would be fine.

that no matter what i say, no matter what i do, it does not change how much He loves me.

and to know that i am loved this way, to be given this privilege to be loved like this is something that you would want to share with everyone.

when somebody loves you, you just want to share that kind of love to the world and it’s not the kind of love that retreats when it gets hurt, but it’s the kind of love that pushes you to keep loving those who reject you.

it strives to exemplify love the way that it is written in 1 Corinthians 13, it’s the kind of love that does not demand and the kind of love you would give to a stranger on a street.

it’s the love that the world does not know of. the love that makes you see the good in people and the love that pushes you to treat people right even if they never will because that is how God loves.

to see them as people who were also created by God (even if you would like to see them as monsters! been there!) and they were sent here for a purpose.

i wish everyone understood that that they were sent here for a purpose and that God has every single day of their life arranged, that they’re taken care of maybe there would be less hurt and lonely people in the world.

I may not know what’s next but I know I have a God who loves me and no matter what happens, He is preparing me for far greater things that is meant to glorify Him. 🙂

Happy Father’s Day, Daddy!

I don’t know if I tell this to him often but I’d like to think that I’m a daddy’s girl. I’m so blessed to have him as my dad. He has taught me the essence of hard work, spending right (yeoch!) and just keeping focused.

He also showed me what to look for in a man. My dad does not believe in flashy things or in what he fondly calls “porma”. Just like him, he believes that a man should honor God, be loyal to his family and work hard. He does not appreciate rich kids who inherit money, he believes in guys who work hard.

I love and appreciate my dad even more, now that i’m older and understand the value of hard work.

I’m blessed that although my dad is not perfect, he makes sure that we know who God is and we stick with that.

I always thank God for the earthly Father He sent me because through my dad on earth, I have a great preview of how truly majestic our Heavenly Father is.

Show your dad you appreciate him today and everyday. 🙂
