As the year 2024 ends, I chose to climb a mountain and had reached another summit today here at Mt. Mariglem, Cabangan, Zambales.

This is my moment of reflecting, and giving thanks to all what I had been through this entire year.

This past few days, I have been sharing some of the highlights of my year. With all those, I am forever grateful to always be blessed.

But of course, still, there were moments when I silently shed tears. I learned valuable lessons. I could now open my eyes seeing what’s genuine, and who’s real.

Magtira nga rin naman para sa sarili. Ako naman muna.

Sabi nila, if you are used to climbing mountains and reaching their summits, you are more confident and more equipped in facing life’s challenges.

Totoo naman.

Life’s full of mountains that we have to conquer.

For those mountains that I conquered this 2024, both literally and figuratively, cheers to that! And, thank you for making me even stronger this time.

For the year 2025, may all its seasons be filled with the good Lord’s protection, provisions, and prosperity.

For whatever mountains I have to climb and reach, remember the promise:

“Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:20)

Happy New Year, everyone! 🥂
