Let me introduce myself: I’m a software engineer working in the wonderfully weird world where code meets silicon, zeros talk to electrons, and coffee is more critical than compiler warnings. My office? A sleek desk in a Texas-based chip manufacturing company in Baguio Philippines—where we design, validate, and mass-produce the…
She came quietly — no complications, no drama. Just a soft cry and a rush of peace that flooded the hospital room like sunlight breaking through clouds. Judea Grace Ng was born at 6:43 AM on a Tuesday, wrapped in layers of answered prayers and holy promises. Grace held her close, weeping.…
The building looked like a dream. Steel beams. Sunlight pouring through wide windows. Rooms filled with color and possibility. What was once an abandoned warehouse now stood as the NewFrame Leadership Academy — a school built not just for education, but for transformation. At 21, Daniel Cruz-Ng, now legally and lovingly the…
