    SEASON 2 EPISODE 5: EROPLANO / AEROPLANE

    SEASON 2 EPISODE 5: EROPLANO / AEROPLANE Everyone sees the destination. Few understand the journey. No guaranteed Christmas. No certain birthdays. No promise of being home for anniversaries. Sometimes, not even for life's most difficult moments. Yet every day, flight attendants put on a smile, welcome strangers onboard, and carry the responsibility of hundreds of lives at 35,000 feet. In this powerful episode of Y DiD U?, Arlester and April take us beyond the glamour of aviation and into the reality of sacrifice, service, love, and family. How far would you travel for love? What does it take to build a family while living in different time zones? And what keeps you going when everyone sees the perks but few understand the price? Their story will make you appreciate every flight—and every person behind the uniform. 🎧 NOW STREAMING ON YOUTUBE & SPOTIFY Fasten your seatbelt. This is more than a flight story. It's a story about life. #ydidu #kuyaarnels #habithaveit #Season2Episode5 #Eroplano #Aeroplane #flightattendant #lifeoffa #aviationlife #cabincrew #filipinostories #podcast #youtube #spotify #loveandcareer ✈️🎙️🇵🇭

    Season 2 Episode 4: SAKRIPISYO / SACRIFICE

    A touching story of a wife, a mother, and a woman willing to sacrifice everything for her family. In this episode, Sherwin shares her personal journey — the pain of being away from her husband and children, the quiet struggles of working far from home, and the emotional weight a mother carries every single day just to secure her family’s future. Behind her smile are missed birthdays, late-night tears, video calls that never feel long enough, and the hope that one day, every sacrifice will be worth it. This is more than an OFW story. It is the story of a mother’s unconditional love. For every mother sacrificing in silence… this episode is for you.

    S1 E17 : GULONG / TIRES

    A tire doesn’t just roll — it takes you where you choose to go. In the story of Kat Out of the Box, we are reminded that limits are not found in the body, not in circumstances, but in the mind. As a Physician and a Para Weightlifter Athlete, she moves forward every day despite uneven roads, heavy loads, and a world that often doubts. The truth is simple: a tire only has direction if you hold the steering wheel. There are no limits to how far you can go when you trust yourself. You don’t stop because of labels. You don’t slow down because of fear. You keep moving — because Disability is not Inability. The only real limit is the one you place on yourself. #Gulong #Tires #YDidU #KatOutOfTheBox #DisabilityIsNotInability #Autonomy #PurposeDriven #Limitless #PhysicianAthlete #ParaPower #InspirationDaily #ydidu #kuyaarnels #habithaveit
