Mt. Timbak - Scaling the third-highest Peak in Luzon

Scaling Mount Timbak was really such a great experience! Meeting with new folks, be inspired by the locals, sharing insights and laughing over silly jokes with the Conqueror Outdoor Club it was indeed a meaningful and fun experience that I will treasure forever.

Cagbalete Island Experience - Php 1,200 Cheapest Budget Ever!

Glad our CAGBALETE ISLAND Trip was a success. Thanks to Ms. Tess of Villa Cleofas who answered all of my inquiries and to Josiah Sicad of Lakas Trip. I'm glad that I stumbled upon his blog for this made our journey possible in the cheapest way.

Calaguas Island - Beach Bum's Paradise

What I love in Calaguas Island is its shimmering grains of powder-white sand and its awesome turquoise waters. No doubt, these make me want to go back again!

Dare to Climb a Mountain?

We face a lot of challenges everyday of our lives. Some are easy to handle while some may seem too much for us to take. And as I gradually became fond of climbing lately I realized that Life is.. Life is also a mountain to climb!

From Religiosity to Relationship

I was very sincere in seeking God. But I also saw the reality that my religiosity in church did not carry over to my life at home. I got angry at my nieces and pinched them whenever they touched my things, gave my mom, my ate, a weeks/ or month of silent treatment in rebellion to their strictness, spent hours devouring novels and giving way to my imaginations. I was selfish and self-centered.

Diversity is Lovely!


I was a bit of an ugly duckling before.  I've had a hard time complimenting myself way back in highschool. I struggled with my unhealthy skin, struggled with my height, I look very thin, you see I kinda have a lot of so-called frustrations! lolz.

When I was in college though some guy had compliment me on my looks, I still choose not to believe them or maybe I just dunno how to react. I tend to focus too much on my flaws. I have this thoughts of “if only I were prettier, if only I was good at sports, often I  had the feeling that I am the odd one. (drama!) hehe.. As I get older, I've learned to embrace what I have, little by little. I've learned that how will people receive me when I approach them depends on how I represent  myself. If I have confidence, they will, too.

Going to different places and meeting new folks played a big part of my transformation. It inspire me so much and remind me that diversity is lovely! I simply have to believe that we're all different and deal with diverse circumstances. Surprisingly, I tend to get fascinated by the differences of different person, different cultures, different beliefs--and this helps me to accept, appreciate myself more. Also, the more I get to know God the more I feel more secure. He even spoke to me that I am not odd, I am special. :) For He even shed His own blood on that cross so that I may have redemption [ephesians 1:7]. How liberating!

We need our differences. Diversity is important to us as individuals. And as we communicate more and communicate better we will realize that diversity should not be a division but a strenght. We have to learn to like ourselves. We should. Coz' if not, no one else will either. Now, who cares if people will tell me I am too thin, I love my body, and confident of it. I’ll never look like either of my friends, and they’ll never look like me! But it's certainly ok with me. Either way, I don't also have too look like those sporty girls and meet a certain number of weight just to be strong and fit. For attracting men -- its all a matter of confidence. And "fitness",  its about being the best you can be. cheers!
Out of the swamp. grounded in love :)

RT5

I realized the choices we make determine the flow and ending of our life's story. Many of us finish the race with a sad ending or with a life half-lived. God had our life story already written in the Book of Life even before we were born. His version of our life is the best. Yet, if we do not allow Him to work in us, His story about us might have a different ending -- far different and far less satisfying from what he had in mind.
"Father enable me to submit to Your plan. Let me enjoy the wonderful life You intended for me as You use the best of Me and complete the good work You already began in me". (sigh)

Growth

As I get older I've realized that growth is not just in material wealth. It is in continuing to make a commitment to reach out to people. Assisting them in learning (even in your own little ways) from their own life experiences and guiding them to make the most of their options given these specific backgrounds and experiences.
Use the 'post a comment' section at the top of this post to share your thoughts. Your comments are what makes this thing fun! I LOVE to hear from you and do my best to respond to everyone! THANK YOU!
