The Story That Shaped My Books and Endeavors
Every book I’ve written and endeavors I’ve started began with a spark—an idea, a question, and a desire to create something meaningful that could touch the lives of others.
This page is my invitation to step behind the scenes: to see not just my accomplishments, but the heart, curiosity, and purpose that guided every choice along the way. It’s about the story, the process, and the values that continue to inspire and shape everything I do.
Tiny Talks, Timeless Moments
Create Your Own Conversation Memories
KC, my daughter, was such a bubbly kid while growing up—always curious and keeping herself busy with all kinds of playful activities. One of the things I found most amusing was her candid, witty remarks during casual conversations, whether at home or out in public. Some of those memorable conversations I’d post on Facebook, and others I’d write down in my journal. Over the years, I’ve kept them all. They brought so much joy to my heart and created cherished memories.
It wasn’t until 2024 that I had the idea to compile these conversations. Soon after, I started dreaming about turning them into a book. I began writing the manuscript and visualizing the book. At first, I had no clue how to go about it, but by early 2025, I became serious about it, wanting to share these moments with others and encourage parents to create memories with their children.
The trickiest part was figuring out how to actually turn it into a book. God led me to the right people, and thanks to them, the book became what it is today. And the rest, as they say, is history.
In 2003, a speaker at one of the seminars I attended shared a scrapbook filled with her dreams and goals. It had cut-out pictures, little notes, and scribbles of the things she wanted in life. She encouraged us to make our own scrapbook to motivate us to work harder toward our goals.
After that seminar, I was so inspired to create my own. I happened to have a yellow notebook with the word “dream” on the cover—it was a gift—so I decided to turn it into my dream notebook. I started listing the things I wanted for that year and added a few cut-outs as well. At the end of each year, I’d look back and check what I had achieved and what I hadn’t. I was consistent with it, and every time I revisited my dream notebook, I became more convinced that writing down my goals, dreams, and prayers really helped. It shaped my mindset and nudged me to take action. And it reminded me of how faithful God has been in helping me achieve those dreams.
For years, I looked for a dream book I could buy—something that would be a “leveled-up” version of my notebook—but I couldn’t find any. Then the idea came to create my own dream book. But honestly, it stayed in my mind for a long time, and I never actually took a step toward making it real.
Early in 2025, I became fond of BYD cars—especially after learning that the name is an abbreviation for “Build Your Dreams.” Then, in June 2025, while I was in Manila, I met up with my good friend Sharon Yu and was surprised to learn that she had just bought a BYD car. As I sat quietly in her car, listening to her talk, the idea of “My Dream Book” suddenly came alive again. I told myself, “Lord, is this Your sign? Is this my go signal to finally make the dream book?” I felt excited—like something inside me had been unlocked.
When I returned to Dumaguete, I finally started working on the book, with the help of my CCF Dgroup friend who’s based in Manila.
And now, after five months, I’m so grateful that the dream book is finally “real.” I’m excited to share it because I truly believe there is power in writing down your dreams, goals, and aspirations. The simple act of putting your thoughts on paper isn’t just a habit—it’s an act of faith. When you write, you take something invisible and give it form. You’re saying, “Lord, I believe this dream came from You, and I trust You with it.”
I also want to share this verse to encourage you to trust God’s promises:
Habakkuk 2:2–3 (KJV) “And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”
My Dreambook
As parents, we all know one truth—our time with our children is fleeting. The tiny hands we hold today will one day grow independent. The bedtime prayers, the simple conversations, the ordinary routines—they don’t last forever.
But what if those everyday moments could become something lasting?
This book was created to help parents turn the ordinary into something meaningful.
Tiny Hands, Growing Faith is more than a memoir—it’s a guided journal rooted in Scripture and intentional reflection. It shares my journey from pregnancy through the early years of raising my daughter, including real conversations and bonding moments that shaped both her heart and mine.
But more than my story, this book is about YOUR STORY.
It’s for parents who want to raise children who believe in and honor God.
It’s for young moms and dads who want guidance and encouragement.
It’s for families who desire to build faith at home—one prayer, one conversation, one day at a time.
Because faith doesn’t grow only in big milestones.
It grows in quiet talks.
In bedtime prayers.
In consistent love.
In small, intentional moments.
My prayer is that this journal becomes a keepsake for your family—a place where memories are written, faith is strengthened, and love grows deeper day by day.
Tiny Hands, Growing Faith:
A Journal for Parents to Cherish Faith-Filled Moments with Their Children
Big Dreams, Bigger Faith
A Dreambook
A year ago, I created My Dreambook, never imagining how warmly it would be received. I am deeply grateful that it inspired so many dreamers and that the book was welcomed with so much love.
Honestly, I never expected the heartfelt messages, kind words, and wonderful feedback that followed. And all I can say is, “Thank You, Lord—and thank you, Dreamers!”
Along with the beautiful reviews came something I didn’t expect: requests for a version of the dreambook for teenagers—and even younger children. Your encouragement and overwhelming support inspired me to create this next dreambook.
And so, Big Dreams, Bigger Faith was born.
Big Dreams, Bigger Faith is a dreambook for teens—and even kids—who dare to dream.
But it isn’t just another journal. It is a place to put their dreams on paper, turn their plans into action, and place their future in God’s hands.
I truly believe that every child’s dream deserves a page. Years from now, when they look back, I hope they won’t just see a collection of dreams. I hope they will see a timeline of God’s faithfulness—how He guided them, opened doors, answered prayers, and remained with them along the way.
I encourage parents to inspire their children to write down their dreams, and I encourage teenagers to do the same. I truly believe there is power in putting our dreams into words. This dreambook is inspired by Habakkuk 2:2–3, which reminds us to write the vision and make it plain.
Inside are simple prompts and instructions to help young dreamers begin writing down their dreams, plans, goals, and aspirations. But more importantly, the book reminds them that their dreams are not something they have to carry alone.
Dreaming is a journey—and it is a journey we can take with God.
My hope is that Big Dreams, Bigger Faith will become a channel of blessing to every young dreamer who holds it in their hands. I have been blessed in so many ways, and through this book, I hope to pass those blessings on.
God has been faithful in fulfilling my dreams—one at a time, in His own time. And for that, I am deeply grateful.
So, to every young dreamer: Dream big. Have faith. Write it down. And trust God with the journey.
