They say a son is a reflection of his mother’s heart, and I know that any kindness or compassion I have comes directly from the love you poured into me.
Behind every good man is a mom who showed him what unconditional love really looks like.
Happy Mother's day Mader! ❤️
I’ve always known you were beautiful, but seeing you as a mother reveals a beauty that goes far beyond the surface.
It’s in the way you guide our kids and the quiet moments you spend in prayer for us.
You’ve truly answered God’s calling for your life with such grace.
Every time I look at our children, I’m reminded of why I fall in love with you every day.
You are God’s greatest gift to me.
Happy Mothers day to my forever baby girl,
I love you! ❤️
Life in Melbourne.
Can't believe our 3-month stay in Melbourne is coming to an end soon.
From establishing a new daily routine and watching the kids grow and improve in their respective sports.
It's been nothing short of amazing!
The goal on the first month was to remove bad habits and improve techniques.
The second month was about getting stronger and getting used to their new techniques.
The third month was seeing if their new techniques become second nature.
The kids are still a work in progress but they've improved leaps and bounds.
This is but a first big step towards the bigger goals.
A bit torn about heading home because we've witnessed how much they've improved in their sports, our family time, and their spiritual walk, which we've also reinforced here.
I even got to hit the basketball court again and compete with my friends!
Thank you, Melbourne!
Thank you Lord for making this trip possible! 🙏
One week to go! ❤️
Aussie adventures continue! 😍
🏎️ F1 engines = instant goosebumps!
🐧 Phillip Island = amazing road trip!

I wanted to cry a little and shout a little, but you have to be a gentleman and be composed in tennis, so hwag na lang. 😂
Won all 5 matches today including this nail biter of a finals!
People have no idea how hard it is to shift from another sport and excel, then have constant changes in grips and technique for tennis.
You deserve this baby girl.
Hard work, works Scarlett!
Juniors co-ed UTR 2-4.5 champ!
So so proud of you!!
Thank you Lord! ❤️🙏
Struggle, then breakthrough. 🎾
The first two photos might not look like much, but they show the aftermath of a grueling two-hour match under the Australian sun.
Scarlett went toe-to-toe against a higher-ranked, more experienced opponent, pushing it to a third-set tiebreak.
They traded point after point until she finally secured the win, 14-12.
What impressed me most was her grit.
That deep-down mental toughness to stay composed when the pressure is at its highest and the score is deadlocked.
In tennis, you’re out there on your own, and grit is the only thing that pulls you through when your opponent is pushing you to the absolute limit.
Every athlete goes through transition periods. It’s hard, it demands extreme patience, and you have to prove how much you want it—because your opponent wants it just as bad.
It’s been almost two years since Scarlett transitioned from Taekwondo to Tennis, and she’s finally finding her rhythm.
This was a breakthrough game filled with adversity, proving that progress truly comes to those who have the grit to stick with it.
Scarlett, Mom and I are so proud of you.
There’s still a mountain to climb, but we’ll take it one step at a time.
Sometimes it's a big leap like today, but know that we’re always here for the highs and the struggles.
We love you, Scarlett! ❤️
