What I’m Quietly Building in 2025

Hi, it’s G!

I’m writing this as a quiet re-entry — not some grand, cinematic comeback. No trumpet intro. No slow-mo montage. Just me, re-learning how to show up.

If you're here, maybe you got curious. Maybe you're one of those kind souls who still checks in to see what this strange, AI-loving, manga-reading, sometimes bread-selling guy is up to. Or maybe — and this is likely — naligaw ka lang after clicking a random link habang nag-scroll ka sa X or Reddit. Either way, salamat. You being here, reading these words I’m typing while half-reclined on a squeaky chair, means more than you know.

In a world na puro "Here’s how I made 7 figures in 7 minutes" ang feed, your quiet visit here? Feels like a warm taho delivery on a gloomy morning. Unexpected. Comforting. Solid.

So yeah — thanks for showing up. Kahit virtual lang tayo nagkita, I feel seen.

What I’m Quietly Building in 2025

The honest answer? Alignment.

But let me backtrack a bit.

Last year humbled me. I lost a business. Lost momentum. Lost confidence. It felt like I was that favorite clay mug of yours na minsang nabagsak sa sahig — still there, still usable, but a little chipped, a little cautious, a little fragile when you pour in hot coffee.

And I was tired. Tired of trying to hold everything together. Tired of forcing outcomes. Tired of the constant pressure to prove.

So I stopped. I let go. I said, “Bahala na si Lord.” And surprisingly, something shifted.

Suddenly, things started falling into place. A stable source of income. A better rhythm. Less anxiety in the mornings. A little more peace.

I didn’t manifest it. I didn’t grind for it. It just came. Quietly. Like grace. Like something gently saying, "You're allowed to rebuild, but this time, slower."

Why I’m Writing Again

Two reasons. One practical, one personal.

1. Money.

Let’s be honest — creating online is also part of how I want to earn. I’ve got bills to pay, old investors to make peace with, and big dreams that still need funding.

But unlike before, I’m not here to chase virality. I’m here to build trust — one blog, one tool, one quiet post at a time.

2. Meaning.

I light up when someone messages me, “Hey, this helped.” That’s the kind of dopamine that hits deeper than likes. Deeper than reach.

I still get haunted by the voice that says, “Wala namang nakikinig, ‘di ba?” And I still wrestle with the part of me that wants validation. That wants to impress. That secretly checks metrics even when I say I don’t care.

But I’m learning to write even if no one claps. To show up, even if the room’s quiet.

What I'm Actually Building (Beyond Just Feels)

Let me break it down:

• I’m building tools I wish I had when I was struggling to keep my travel startup, Experience Philippines, alive.
• I’m designing AI workflows to help small businesses automate the boring stuff — reporting, FAQs, invoices — so they can sleep better.
• I’m writing prompt kits and micro-consulting packs for Filipino entrepreneurs who want to use AI but don’t know where to start.
• I’m crafting chatbots that sound less like robots and more like your reliable cousin who actually explains things well.

And yes, I’m building clarity. Not in a Buzzfeed-listicle kind of way. But the kind of clarity that comes from doing one small thing a day and letting it be enough.

I do all this in the tiny pockets of my day — between 3PM and 5PM, after work. On a laggy laptop. While sitting at a desk that’s too cluttered. Breathing through resistance. Writing with shaky faith. But showing up anyway.

Where This Is Headed

I honestly don’t know.

I don’t have a funnel. I don’t have a launch. I don’t have a “6-figure strategy.” I have this: a blog, a heartbeat, a belief that stories matter, and a hope that something good will come out of sharing again.

This space? It’s going to be messy and honest. There will be posts about AI, yes. But also about anime. About cooking. About God. About heartbreak. About rebuilding your life in your 40s when you thought it was too late.

Because all of that is me.

This is the year of Wonder with G.

Tech by day. Books by night. Wanderer in between.

Let’s see where this goes.

If you made it this far, say hi. I’m really glad you’re here.

Till the next post, G
