Stargazing In Bulan et al.

After so much mental processing about my life, my heart and my soul I boiled into one decision. To come HOME and enjoy LIFE as it is with my family and friends.

I had fulfilled my urges to work as an employee. I enjoyed it, I was happy but I was so stretched that I never had time for myself, family and friends. I haven't had the time to look up at the sky, look around the environment, appreciate them and thank God enough for the blessings.

I was somehow faced by a crossroad. I suddenly felt drained that I needed to renew and regain myself/my soul. Somewhere along the way I felt that I was withering. At this young age I was happy but a hole in my heart slowly gets bigger and just like a black hole it continues to absorb my soul. Luckily, I was guided by my Creator. I found the answers to my questions before I reached the event horizon (point of no return surface of a black hole).

Slowly, I felt that I am again my old self, only more mature but still had to loosen a bit more. I can once again see vibrant colors, hear lovely music and melody, gaze at the sky with so many stars in it. My old hobby revived. Stargazing.

For nights I had always experienced to look up at the sky at night, feel the heat of the sun at day and cold wind blows at this 'El Niño' phenomenon. Walk around with my camera, talk with family and friends, read good books, dream and thank God for all that He provided us, for protection, for courage, for wisdom and for love.

I am sharing you this, for you to know that you are not alone, WE are not alone. We have a God who will always be with us. We just have to listen closely, ask eagerly, receive whole-heartedly and thank Him Fully. Have a blessed life! God is with us. :)

I want to go to Palawan!!

Yup, you read it right. I want to go to Palawan just like my father. He really wanted to go there and I want to be part of that dream, aside from the fact that I too want to go there! I've heard so much about the place and I want to spend some good time with my family there.

The little problem is, I cannot leave my work post. I don't know yet if I can afford to go on VL. Another option is, to have the vacation next year instead after my working contract. After all I am firm on having a 1 month vacation before looking for another job here in Manila or maybe, just maybe will decide to stay at the province and start my own business. Who knows? I am just so willing to look forward good things along with praying to God to give me the life that He wanted me to live. I know God wants the best for all of Us.

My inkling to go to Palawan even surge when I was added by El Rio y Mar Resort and seeing their place made me dream all the more!!...Ooohhhh, I really want to go there!

I love the beach! I love the sky! I love nature and I love my Family, what more? All I ask is for a good year and a good vacation! I want to capture the place too and practice my photography "skills"...lol!...God please??...Thank you in advance!, hehe!:)

God will carry us Through!

*This is my post-Easter Sunday blog. For the past days, I've been enjoying my laid-back life. Went to vacation with some friends and,,,okay!...worked even in holidays,..hehehe!...Been groggy because of antihistamine that I have been taking to ease my allergies. Up until now, I can't tell where I got my allergies. Went to a physician and I had been prescribed of a new antihistamine brand and was advised to undergo a hypo-allergenic diet.

Regarding this photo I posted. I took it while at one of resorts located in Nasugbu, Batangas. I passed by a set of footprints and suddenly remembered a poem entitled Footprints/Footprints in the sand as well as the story behind it. It is a poem that gives hope to oneself, that despite the things that may come, there is a God who will carry us through!

Here is the Poem:

FOOTPRINTS

One night I had a dream--
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord
and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints,
one belonged to me and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you would walk with me all the way,
but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
"I don't understand why in times when I needed you most,
you should leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never, never leave you
during your times of trial and suffering.
"When you saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
