I’m not 100% confident in this class… yet.

But every time I show up, put in the effort, and do the work, my confidence grows.

So I’ll keep showing up. 🤍

There’s something beautiful about always finding your way back.

The song Back To You speaks about being drawn back to someone, despite everything.

It made me realize that in my own life, dancing has become that “someone.”

No matter how busy life gets.
No matter how heavy my heart feels.
No matter how far I drift.

I always come back.

Not because dancing makes life perfect.
But because it helps me reconnect with myself and God.

Some people have a place.
Some have a person.

I have dancing. 🤍

Emotions are energy in motion.

This past week, my heart has felt so heavy as I grieve the loss of a dear friend.

Today, I didn’t come to dance because I felt happy.
I came because I needed to move.

Not to forget.
Not to escape.
But to let my body release what my heart has been holding.

With every step, every breath, and every beat, I felt a little more space inside me.

The grief didn’t disappear.

But somehow, it didn’t feel quite as heavy anymore.

Sometimes letting go of sadness doesn’t begin with finding the right words.

Sometimes…
it begins by pressing play and allowing your heart to move with your body.

Today, I danced not to leave my grief behind, but to carry it a little more gently.

It was the release I needed.🤍

Last week, during the wake of a dear friend, my heart felt unbearably heavy.

Even breathing felt hard.
Getting through my usual routine took more energy than I had.

On the last night of the wake, I went to dance class, hoping movement would help me feel a little lighter.

But it didn’t. 😔

I couldn’t feel the music.
I couldn’t remember the choreography.
I couldn’t connect with the joy everyone else seemed to be feeling.
I couldn’t even feel the energy Coach @farlkrancis was trying to share with me.

And that’s when dance taught me something I needed to hear.

Sometimes, it’s okay if you just can’t.

Not every season is meant for pushing through.
Some seasons ask us to simply feel what we’re carrying.

There is no deadline for grief.
No prize for looking okay.
No pressure to rush back to who we were before.

At that moment, I just had to let myself feel what was there.
To let myself flow.
To simply do what I could.

I’m just glad I showed up and moved.

And maybe, for that day, that was enough. 🤍

Malen, the football moms will never be the same without you.😭😭😭

Your love and care for the team, and especially for our boys, always went far beyond what anyone could have expected. You loved so generously, so selflessly, and so wholeheartedly. That is how we will always remember you.

Thank you for all the moments we shared, on and off the field. From cheering on the sidelines to our late-night kwentuhan and inuman, every memory has become even more precious. Cheers inuman pa tayo.😭😭😭

Football trainings and game days will never feel quite the same without seeing your smile and your unwavering support plus the tiktoks na pinipilit kitang sumama sa amin ni Mati.🤭

Heaven has gained a beautiful angel, but my hearts is a little heavier because you’re no longer here with us.😭😭😭

Rest peacefully in God’s loving embrace, Malen. At least, no more pain and you can drink na and do tiktoks in heaven.

Love you, Malen🤍and I will super miss you on and off the field.⚽️

I used to think dancing was about getting every step right.

Remembering the choreography.
Staying on beat.
Trying not to make mistakes.

But the older I get, and the more I dance, the more I realize that’s not what keeps me coming back.

It’s the moments when I stop overthinking.
When I laugh after messing up.
When I stop wondering how I look and simply enjoy the music.

I’ve learned that freedom isn’t dancing like nobody’s watching.

It’s dancing even when everyone is… and choosing joy anyway.

Because at the end of the day, I may not perfect every dance.

But I’ll always remember how it made me feel. 🤍

Sometimes, the biggest win isn’t getting the choreography right.

It’s walking into a room that scares you.
A new coach.
A new class.
Dancers half my age.

Ten minutes in, I wanted to leave.

My 49-year-old brain was working overtime, trying to remember combinations that everyone else seemed to pick up so easily.

But I stayed.

I kept trying.
I kept dancing.
I finished the class.

I walked out without a perfect performance, but with a happy heart.

Because today, being brave meant staying.
And for me that was enough.

I’m proud of you, self. 🤍

Happy 21st Birthday, Praise. 🤍

What a beautiful blessing it has been to watch you grow into the amazing person you are today.

As you celebrate another year of life, my prayer for you is this: May your life be filled with joyful memories, meaningful life lessons, and countless blessings. May God always be at the center of your life. Keep deepening your relationship with Him, because He will always guide your steps, strengthen your heart, and bless you as you pursue the dreams He has placed in your heart.

Remember, success isn’t just about where you go, but about who you become along the way. Stay kind, stay humble, and never lose the beautiful light God has placed within you.

Enjoy every moment of your journey, cherish the people around you, and always have a grateful heart for every blessing that comes your way.

I love you always and Mommy is always proud of you.
Happy Birthday, Praisee. 😘

Love,
Mommy💜 by @jmtanmd

The world gets bigger when you stop shrinking yourself.

At this stage of life, I thought I already knew who I was.

Turns out, I’m still discovering her.

And she’s having way more fun than I expected. 😜✨

Not every friendship ends with a reason you can explain.

Sometimes it ends with a feeling.

A subtle shift.
A growing distance.
An awareness that your values, energy, and direction no longer align.

And sometimes, you just know.

Not because anyone did something wrong.
Not because there’s blame to place.

You simply recognize that the connection no longer fits the person you’re becoming.

Growth has a way of making that clear.

So you choose boundaries.
You choose peace.
You choose to honor what was, while making space for what is.

Some people are meant for a season.

The lesson is learning to trust yourself when it’s time to move forward.

And sometimes, you just know. 🤍

For the longest time, I thought I had to wait until I had the perfect words.

But life has taught me that our voices aren’t meant to stay hidden until they’re polished.

Every person carries a story.
A lesson.
A truth.
A message that only they can share.

Whether it’s through words, art, dance, or simply showing up as yourself, your voice matters.

So here’s your reminder:
Speak up.
Take up space.
Share what’s on your heart.

Someone out there may need exactly what you’re saying. 🤍
