On Being Brave

I don’t know where it came from or when it started, but there has been some uneasiness in my heart. It was highlighted so much during our training last Saturday, when I was daunted by the walls and heights that didn’t seem to matter to me previously. The walls have been there, I’ve at least …

2020 Word: Delight

Towards the end of 2019, I realized I was developing a sense of resignation. I waved the white flag of surrender, not because I was relinquishing control but because I was tired. I was tired of fighting, I was tired of hoping, I was tired of waiting expectantly for something I now wasn’t sure of. …

I turned 30 in 2019: A recap of sorts

I turned 30 in 2019, and all I can say is that how it turned out was definitely NOT what I had imagined. When I was in high school, I had a game plan: I would get married at 27, and enjoy 2.5 years of wedded bliss before being well on my way to having …

This is my first time to celebrate with an online presence, and even if this is fairly new and no one is here yet, here's wishing you and your family a merry Christmas! May this day be filled with unspeakable joy, overflowing peace, and unending reason to point back to the true One we celebrate …

(a)L I V E!

So where do I begin?  Let me keep this first post short and sweet. beareyes.blog  is an attempt at keeping my mind organized.  Working full-time at a BPO company in the Philippines working cyclical shifts is enough to keep it chaotic.  I've always thought of writing to be somewhat cathartic, and it excites me that …
