A $200–$300 MILLION DOLLARS NA PAINTING?! 😳🎨

Imagine standing in front of a painting worth potentially hundreds of millions of dollars…

But here’s what makes it even more fascinating:

This painting, Irises, was created by Vincent van Gogh in 1889, during one of the most difficult chapters of his life.

In 1987, it sold at auction for $53.9 MILLION—a record-breaking price at the time.

Today, some estimates place its potential value at $200–$300 million, although this is speculative, not an official valuation. The painting is now part of the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.

But beyond the money, there’s something about this painting that made me stop and reflect.

Imagine being at a point in your life where you’re going through so much that all you want is to live in the moment and get through each day.

You’re not thinking about how far you’ll go. You’re not even sure what tomorrow holds. You’re simply trying to survive the season you’re in.

And yet, you have no idea what the future holds.

Van Gogh painted these flowers during a difficult period of his life, without knowing how deeply his work would touch generations to come.

And somehow, I see a lesson in that.

Sometimes, while we’re busy trying to survive today, God may be preparing us for a tomorrow we cannot yet imagine.

Hindi natin laging naiintindihan kung bakit may mga bagay na kailangang mangyari. May mga seasons na puro tanong, sakit, at uncertainty ang dala.

But in God’s perfect time, you may look back and begin to understand why your story had to unfold the way it did.

Maybe you don’t see the bigger picture yet. Maybe you’re still healing. Maybe all you can do right now is take one day at a time.

And that’s okay.

Keep trusting. Keep living. Keep going.

You may be in the middle of a chapter you don’t understand yet, but it doesn’t mean your story has no greater purpose. 🤍

Tiny reminder for heavy days:

Peace comes when you realize that everything beyond your control doesn’t deserve space in your mind, too. 🤍

ME: Huh? 😳

2017 was my first trip to the US with Tito Mel and Tita Den to attend the USANA Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Looking back, feeling ko isa rin ’to sa mga reasons kung bakit kami na-approve ng visa sa America. 😂🇺🇸

One of the most unforgettable parts of that trip was meeting Ninong Dennis and Ninang Noralyn. 🤍

Si Ninong Dennis, best friend ni Tito Mel way back nung nasa Novaliches pa sila. And later on, nalaman ko na ninong ko rin pala siya! HAHAHA. 😂 Kaya every time na nasa US kami, excited talaga akong makita sila.

Nagsisimula na rin sila sa USANA journey nila that time, which became another reason kung bakit mas lalo pang nagkaroon ng connection sina Tito Mel.

Sobrang kulit nilang dalawa! 😂 Pero beyond the tawanan, ang dami ko ring natutunan sa kanila about life in America.

One lesson I’ll always remember:

You don’t have to give a f*ck about what other people think, as long as wala kang tinatapakang ibang tao. Focus on your own life.

And of course, kapag matagal ka na sa US, mamimiss mo talaga ang Pinoy food! 🇵🇭😂

Si Ninang Noralyn ang the best dyan. Kahit simpleng sardinas na ginisa, nagiging five-star meal! Grabe, dami ko ata nakain nun! 😂

I’m forever grateful to both of you and your family. Sa dami ng nangyari sa pamilya namin nitong mga nakaraang taon, hindi kayo nawala sa amin kahit malayo kami.

Thank you for continuing to love and support our family. 🤍

And flex ko lang… 😂

Isa sila sa mga bagong GOLD DIRECTORS sa America na Pinoy! 🇵🇭🔥

Deserve na deserve ninyo ’yan!

I love you both! 🤍 Looking forward to more beautiful memories together.

PS. Ang super cute ninyong inaanak. 😂🤍

September 9, 2026. Three years since you went home to the Lord.

Tatlong taon na, Mamita. Hindi ko pa rin alam kung paano gawing sapat ang mga salita para sabihin kung gaano kita nami-miss.

Marami nang nangyari simula nung araw na iyon. May mga masasayang moments, may mga mahihirap na araw, at may mga pangarap na sana kasama pa rin kita para makita.

Pero kahit masakit na wala ka na dito, may isang bagay na nagbibigay sa akin ng comfort:

Alam kong hindi ka nag-iisa.

Nasa tahanan ka na ng Panginoon, kasama sina Junie, Papa, Tito Mel, Tito Dinky, Mama, at Lolo.

Gusto kong isipin na magkakasama na kayong muli. Wala nang sakit. Wala nang paghihirap. Wala nang kailangang pagdaanan.

At habang nandito pa ako, dadalhin ko kayo sa puso ko.

Tatlong taon na, Mamita. Pero hindi nagbabago ang pagmamahal ko sa’yo.

Miss na miss na kita. 🤍❤️‍🩹

Hanggang sa muli nating pagkikita, Mamita.

Rest peacefully in the presence of the Lord. 🕊️
