2025: A Year of Firsts, Milestones, and Endless Blessings

As the final days of 2025 wind down, I find myself sitting in a quiet moment of reflection. If I could describe this year in one word, it would be Grace. Looking back at January, I never could have imagined just how much would change, how much I would grow, and how many prayers would be answered in ways I didn’t even know how to ask for.

Before the calendar turns, I want to take a moment to look back at the highlights and say "Thank You" to everyone—and the One—who made it all possible.

The Year of Breaking New Ground

 

This year was defined by stepping out of my comfort zone. For the first time in my life, I packed a suitcase and headed to the airport for an international flight. Singapore was everything I dreamed of and more. Walking through the streets of a different country for the first time is a feeling I’ll never forget. It opened my eyes to how big the world is and how blessed I am to be able to explore it.

Passion in Motion: Basketball & Bikes

 

If you know me, you know I can’t stay still. 2025 was the year I truly prioritized my health and my hobbies:

• On the Court: I played more games of basketball this year than ever before. There’s nothing like the adrenaline of a good game and the brotherhood found on the court.

• On the Saddle: Bicycling remains my therapy. I’ve leaned further into bike vlogging, sharing my rides and the beauty of the road with all of you.

• The N+1 Rule: I officially welcomed my 15th bike to the collection this year! Each one tells a story, and I’m grateful for every kilometer they’ve carried me.
  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  

A Milestone of Stewardship

I’ve always believed in working hard and being disciplined with what I earn. This year, through my career and God's provision, I reached a personal financial milestone I’ve aimed at for a long time: saving over a million. I’ll keep the exact figure between me and my bank account, but I share this not to boast, but to testify to the rewards of hard work and divine favor.

My Deepest Gratitude

None of these milestones mean anything without the people to share them with.

• To My Career: Thank you for the opportunities to grow and the stability to provide for my dreams.

• To My Family & Friends: You are my backbone. Thank you for cheering me on, whether I was boarding a plane to Singapore or just finishing another long ride.

• To God: Above all, everything I have belongs to You. Every breath, every peso saved, every safe trip, and every win on the court is a gift from Your hand. Thank You for Your unshakable faithfulness in 2025.

As I look toward 2026, my heart is full. I don't know what the next year holds, but if it’s anything like this one, I know I’m in good hands.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever."
