Hyun Bin Landing at Solaire Meet and Greet

August 8, 2025 7PM, The Theater at Solaire

You may cringe but it is what it is. God answers my silly prayers too.

I told my sister-in-law: “See, this is why I don’t pray for a husband, Jesus might give me one and I don’t want one.” 

Then I said to her: “It’s easy for Jesus to heal and give people money just as it was easy for Him to make me win not 1 but 3 tickets. But He doesn’t always heal and give money instantly.”

Melissa replied: “Because health and finances require accountability. And each person has a different journey with God.” 

For 5 years I have been praying to see Hyun Bin in the flesh. I wasn’t dead serious but as a fangirl, there’s always that desire to meet him. 

I received a message from my dear client about Solaire’s meet and greet with Hyun Bin. I knew then that God had granted my wish. Then the Holy Spirit impressed two names, my best friend Vie and my aunt. So I invited them for lunch at Solaire in Parañaque to get raffle tickets. I also had dinner with my friend Candie at Solaire North so I could drop more tickets there. 

One night, I was prompted by the Holy Spirit to log into my account at The Space - Hyun Bin’s official fan club. Lo and behold, a notice was posted for a free raffle ticket. I joined and won after a few days. Even before the Solaire results came out on July 31, God already secured my slot through Hyun Bin’s agency, Vast Entertainment. It was a center orchestra seat. 

The day before the contest ended, my dear client treated me for lunch to have more raffle tickets. I appreciate the support for my fangirling and kabaduyan. Friends sent me messages about the event and told me that they were praying I win. 

The third time I dropped my entries, there was one girl who had 800 tickets. I prayed: “Jesus, if it’s your will, it takes only one entry for me to win.“

To everyone who prayed for me and wished for me to win, thank you so much. I won 3 tickets! 1 from Solaire Parañaque, 1 from Solaire North and 1 from Hyun Bin’s official fan club. God bless you all 

Was I being greedy? No, I wanted to win more so I could bring as many fangirls as I could with me. 

Love from: Hyun Bin’s fangirl

Confessions of a single woman' s heart (CLOY Edition)

While almost everyone else was binge watching K-drama over the lockdown, I was too busy working long hours, from 6am to 12 midnight. I didn't realize that I have allowed people to overstep the boundaries of my time. I would get frantic calls from anxious patients, caregivers and whoever needs me at an ungodly hour. I would do my best to help them calm down while I was crying inside my heart. I was emotionally, mentally and physically burned out after 8 long months. I began to resent the internet (online meetings and webinars were too much!) yet oh so grateful for it because it kept me connected to the people I love and it enabled me to work while many have unfortunately lost their jobs. It was on my birthday weekend in November 2020 that I finally had precious time to spare after months of striking a balance between taking care of my patients, remotely working for my family's businesses, ministry, coping as much as I could (because I terribly missed my family) and keeping my s...

Dealing with Disappointments in the Desert

A desert is a place of death. One we might call, godforsaken wasteland. As a consequence of living in this fallen world, we go through deserts and sometimes even find ourselves stuck in this dreadful place. The deserts in our lives come in the form of inconvenience, disappointments, difficulties, pain and sufferings. What is the cause of all these? Sin, our wrong choices in life and the consequences of sin committed by others. Why does God lead us into the desert? Being in the desert is a humbling experience. You see, when we encounter difficult times, we are reminded of who we are and who God is. We experience His love and grace. We become more dependent on Him. It also puts us in a position wherein others notice our dire situation but not in any way to disgrace or shame us but rather see how God works in us. Our stories give hope to the hopeless. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been...

Silly Prayers

Sometime in January this year, I saw beautiful flowers as I passed by a flower shop which prompted me to say a silly prayer: "God gusto ko ng flowers. Yung nice. (God I want nice flowers). But it should not come from a guy who has romantic illusions in mind." Fast forward to a couple of weeks later, I received a dozen luxurious Ecuadorian roses from my female patient with a thank you note. You see, we have been through a lot the past two years and saw how the hand of God works! That's one silly prayer answered but it didn't end there. On the same day, I said another silly prayer while attending an event at Edsa Shangri-La Hotel. I asked God to give me another surprise. Lo and behold, the hotel's GM called my name and handed me a gift certificate for an overnight stay with spa treatments! Isn't Jesus romantic? He knows how to make my heart go lub dub. In June of 2010, I was exhausted after coming home from my Ateneo school trip in Vie...
