Some moments are simply too special not to share.🫂

Here’s the “sna’aping” video nobody asked for… but absolutely needed to see. 💜

Yesterday, I finally made it to the World Chocolate Fair 2025 at S Maison, SM MOA Complex... and YES, I finally got my hands on The Manila Chocolate by @chefnouel, the brilliant mind behind The Dubai Chocolate. 🇵🇭✨

This UBE BAKLAVA is a next-level fusion of Filipino soul and global chocolate mastery; made in collaboration with @aurochocolate now the official distributor of both The Dubai and Manila Chocolate in the PH! 🇵🇭🍫🌍

If you know me, you know my face says it all - and as an UBE LOVER, this is an instant 10/10. 😍🤩💜💯

@snaap.dxb

Shout out to my wife for granting this request, @niccganda. Love youuu. ❤️

I FELL IN LOVE WITH TAJIKISTAN 🇹🇯

This is one for the books and I thank the Lord for making this possible!

I will forever cherish this once in a lifetime experience that He has surely orchestrated perfectly. I praise Him for the experiences, the people I've met, the relationships I've built, and the cross-cultural exposures/exchanges that happened in my entire stay.

The warmth of the people, the culture, the architecture, the food, and even the transportation still leave me in awe up to this day.

I am praying that He takes me back to this beautiful nation to experience more signs and wonders, build friendship in a nation very foreign to me, and maintain relationships previously built!

Tried recreating our wedding picture to match a Filipino 80s vibe wedding.

Tawang tawa ako. Naging Bituing Walang Ningning ang atake!!! 🤣

Had a great time bonding with my youngest son, Carlaus, as we picked calamansi fruit and played in the rain this afternoon.

I realized we've never had the chance to do it but it isn't too late even though he is already ten. What matters is that he will never run out of new core memory moments with me.

Thanks, @niccondeleon for the pictures in the rain! by @collabwithcarlo

Zodruz muborak, dear brother @valijon___t!

I’m always grateful for the people God allows us to meet along the journey, and you are definitely one of them. You have this quiet gentleness about you, and I’ve always appreciated how sincere and generous you are with the people around you.

Even from a distance, I’ll always be happy to celebrate your milestones. I still remember being one of the only two Filipinos invited to your wedding in 2025. That was such a special moment for me for it paved way to our brotherhood, and definitely one of those invitations I’ll remember for a long time as you didn't only welcome me in your hometown, you had me stay in your home. 😊

And now, there’s another beautiful milestone on the horizon. I’m genuinely happy for you and excited to see what this next chapter brings.

May God bless you with peace, good health, meaningful relationships, and many more beautiful moments worth celebrating. 🥳

Happiest birthday, Valijon! Keep going, keep growing, and keep that beautiful heart of yours. Your brother from the Philippines is always cheering for you, even from afar. 🇹🇯🫂🇵🇭 by @collabwithcarlo

Some people enter your life as strangers, become friends, and somehow, by the grace of God, become family.

We called ourselves best friends but somewhere along the way, we became brothers.

You intentionally wanted to know my family during your time in the Philippines, my kids became your nephews; then you want them as your little brothers because they call you, Akai Abdullo. My wife became your sister, too. And every time you call, there’s almost always a roll call: “How’s everyone? Are you all doing well?”

It’s so great how the Lord writes the best stories of family. Sometimes, they aren’t even bound by blood.

My prayer is that God blesses you with good health, peace, joy, and many more meaningful years. May this new chapter be filled with beautiful moments, answered prayers, and the goodness of God.

Thank you, Mom, for the life you gave me. I honor you today and celebrate you on your birthday.

Happy birthday! May God continue to bless you abundantly. 🙏❤️ by @collabwithcarlo

Honored to get seated at the table with seasoned people in the ministry.

Being part of the panelists for Victory Quezon Avenue’s Leadership 113 Batch 7 was such a humbling opportunity. I came to a realization how much I can still learn in these kinds of exposure.

Listening to the students present their papers and hearing about their outreaches, their experiences in ministry, and what the Lord has been teaching them reminded me of God’s heart for lost people. It was beautiful to hear how He is raising people who are willing to go, serve, lead, and make Jesus known.

I also got to learn from the seasoned leaders who were with me at the table. There is something special about being around people who have walked with the Lord longer and being able to glean from their wisdom and experiences.

And as I listened, I was reminded that I am also one of those people who was once lost, but by God’s grace, He found me, changed me, and now allows me to be part of what He is doing.

What a privilege to learn from others, to hear what God is doing through their lives, and to be used by Him for His glory.

Still learning, growing, and will forever be in awe that the Lord allows me to be part of His story. 🙏 taken in Victory Quezon Avenue by @collabwithcarlo

I never imagined that something as simple as a few Bible verse stickers would leave me quietly reflecting for the rest of the day.

Earlier today, Carlisle happily came to me with a set of Bible verse stickers and said he knew I'd like them because I could put them on my laptop.

It made me smile. Years ago, my laptop was filled with stickers that reflected my faith in Christ. Looking back, I never thought those stickers would become something my son would remember. To me, they were simply one of the many little ways I chose to profess what I believe.

But today, I realized he noticed. That moment became a gentle reminder that our children are always watching. They see far more than we think. They notice what excites us, what we value, how we respond in different seasons, and whether our faith is something we merely speak about or something we genuinely live out.
If you're a parent, may this encourage you as much as it encouraged me. Your children are looking at you, and in many ways, you become one of the first pictures of the faith they'll eventually choose to hold on to.

I'm not saying this because I've perfected parenting or because I've mastered professing my faith. I never will, and I'm still far from where I hope to be. But a life surrendered to Christ each day has a way of loosening our grip on the things of this world while drawing us closer to the One who transforms us from the inside out.
And perhaps that's what moved me the most today.

The stickers weren't the point. They were simply God's gentle affirmation that, despite all my shortcomings, He is still at work. By His grace, some of the seeds we quietly plant today may one day grow into convictions in the hearts of our children.

May we never underestimate the power of faithfully following Jesus in the ordinary moments, because those ordinary moments often become the extraordinary memories our children carry with them.

"Only take care, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. Make them known to your children and your children's children."
Deuteronomy 4:9 ESV

Standing at the pulpit today was a humbling reminder that every season of breaking, pruning, and fine-tuning was never wasted. I held on to my faith, and by His grace it has only grown stronger.

What amazes me most is that the Lord entrusted me with the microphone even while I still felt inadequate. It was a beautiful reminder that God doesn't wait until we feel qualified before He calls us. He meets us in our inadequacies, and as we surrender to Him, He faithfully molds us into the people He has called us to be.

Looking back, I can only stand in awe of His grace. He was with me through every high and low, every correction, every lesson, and every season that drew me closer to Him. May my life never point to myself but always to Christ. Here I am, Lord. I want to glorify You for the rest of my life, wherever You send me.

"Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!"
- Psalm 115:1 ESV

Here I am, Lord. Mold me, use me, and send me for Your glory.

Maraming salamat sa mga Pastor na nagtiwala, patuloy na nagtitiwala, at ginagabayan ako upang maging mas mabuti pang Kristiyano. taken in Victory Quezon Avenue by @collabwithcarlo
