Remembering 2012 and Welcoming New Year

December 31 ,2012

Howdy Dolls? Time passes so fast right? How many hours from now , we will end up 2012 and welcome the year 2013. Hows your 2012 ? I guess there are lots of things or events that put marks in your life. I do have also, and I want to thank God for all those things, whether it made me cry or laugh.

I thought this year is my year. The thought of being a "Dragon" baby will give me lucky charms. However, I think this year was a struggling - glorious year. What does it mean? I was struggling when it comes to my career. STILL. No good news. I resigned to my previous job to took up nursing but seven months of being jobless wasn't a great idea anymore.I need to find a job! and OLA! I got one, but not as a nurse. Nevertheless, I still welcome the thought of being one. Glorious on the other hand , because of the seven months out of work I became closer to our GOD. I got ministered in music and even learned to play some instruments. I became productive, not just on talents but even spiritually.

Hey dolls! Not to mention on Travels and Adventures! :) I've been always grateful for the chance of Travelling, Exploring, and Adventures. Lists of places to go, and adventures to try is always full. I've been happy also to met people who have the same passions with me like Joann, Manny, Tony , Shing and Zaldy. People that inspires me to do what I want and love. I was in the thought of the greatest regret aren't the things you've done but the things you didn't do. I was just taking chances for this, I don't know when will I ever got to do it. I guess that made sense :) The LUZON trip was amazing and unforgettable. The days where I keep on coming back to IGACOS are awesome. To try the minor climb was a dream come true (APO's going to be next). A 24 hour trip to Saranggani and South Cotabato was crazy however it was fun! :) Looking forward for more travels next year!

Thank you Lord for this year. Thank you for my family. Thanks for the friendship. Thanks for the talents. Thanks for the opportunities and blessings. May the coming year be more fruitful and glorious.

I pray that you may heal aching hearts Lord. May the people that are affected of the Typhoon Pablo find peace and strengthen them as they face the new year. May you guide all my love ones. I bring back all the praises and adoration.

And here are some of my NEW YEAR'S favorite Bible Verses

* 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

* Isaiah 40:31Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.

* Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

It's One Year!

HAPPY ONE YEAR BLOGGY!

I can't believed it!(over!) A year had passed since the day I've created this blog. One year of laughter, sadness, failures and success posts I had shared here. And reminiscing such events made me teary eyed, tears of joy dolls, I've been here for this long! One of the greatest accomplishment I've done for myself which I thought I really can't. So, September is a special month for me and opted to make entries this month dedicated to my blog's anniversary. 

Lets go back in time, one year ago.. when I've felt and discovered what was my other passion. I've made this, which I'm calling a "Virtual Diary"- accounts of anything I would love to write. To be honest, I don't have a knack in writing and I'm not pretty good in expressing myself in English (shame on me). A product of pester every time I stutter lol. Whatever it is, I can't imagine myself fit in this world before, but not for now =)

So, whats the ground of making such this? What's the force that pushes me to create one? Adventures and travel epilogues are part of the reason, but it wasn't the major one. It was for DIVERSION, yes, you read it right. 

Last year, I was in a state of emotional anguish. Though I had work before to keep me busy still, It does not amend a painful sorrow (getting emotional here) haha. It was hard to overcome an event such like that and so, I want my dynamism to be burn in a sensible activity. With the help of my friend who is also a blogger, she recommended me this and told me to write all my accounts in travel and adventures or, anything under the sun. And ola! I just discovered that I have talent for this. As time goes by, I'm getting good and becoming a better writer ,and I can express myself well now. What a blessing in disguise! =)

and I want to share this pic - the awesome " I CAN"  =)

Thumbs up for my little introvert self. What a wonderful year it is! Hoping for more years and posts to come!

IGACOS 2: Hagimit Falls

July 26,2012

.......

After the Monfort Bat Cave / Sanctuary experienced (here) we headed up to Hagimit Falls at Penaplata, IGACOS.

Again, we need to ride on a motorcycle grr.. a little longer travel, somehow the road was concrete so it was not butt aching. We paid php 60.00 from Bat Cave to Hagimit :). It was an admirable day and the sun was up and I'm sweating a little. So I'm just really excited to be in the place and to jump off the water :-) .

SOME STORES OUTSIDE

When we arrived at the place, were not anymore shocked. haha What I mean is that, the entrance fee wasn't that very pocket aching lol. Entrance fee was php 40.00 (the price I'm expecting). Anyhow if you want snacks to pig in, you can buy some on the stores outside. 

But before you can go to the falls itself (various ones present) you need to trek a little, don't worry its going down and concrete stairs are present. hehe I love the feeling of nature here. :) I love the greens, all are alive!

DORA, ESTE JOANN F. HEHE

WELCOME LADIES! :)

MY TWINS TIRED

Goofing around the place, we've noticed some bizzare formations and designs. So we let our cameras get busy! I'll let the pictures do the talking here ^.^

A BIT CREEPY PIC HERE

ETO NA MGA PARS AND MARS!

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOT :)  WHAT THEY CALL THE "HYDRO MASSAGE"

Anyhow the water that time wasn't pleasing to my eyes. I have doubts to dive in. The water's color seems extinct. (dead? meh ganun!) So I just spent time wetting myself and enjoying the hydro massage :) A body reviving massage from the motorcycle ride but, cause me at end HEADACHE!!!huhu. Somehow the scenery is great! I can sleep here the whole afternoon! LOL 

One thing that we noticed here is that, the place was divided into different resorts/owner. So you have choices where to stay and pick up cottages (necessary for your things) but you can swim anywhere you like. Mahal Forest Resort was our choice and we've paid the cheapest cottage (umbrella type one) of php 70.00 haha, inclusive used of shower room and any of their amenities.

THE UMBRELLA COTTAGE

 MAHAL'S  OWN EXIT- ONLY FOR THEIR GUESTS

THE TOP VIEW

AND WERE GOING HOME :)

From Hagimit to Home ?? HEADACHE is still present :(

Maybe because of my growling tummy that time. LOL

But, a day after Joann got skin rushes tsk2...

What is a Strong Woman?

July 12,2012

A strong woman is one with a mind of her own, gifted with smarts and common sense. Otherwise, she would simply be stubborn and obstinate, a shrew, a termagant.

A strong woman sees life for what it is, and will deal with it on the terms she has chosen. She respects her own person and understands her worth, and looks out for herself and the people she cares about.

She tends to be successful, because she sets goals and works to achieve them. A strong woman will control her desires and feelings, especially is she knows that there's a dead end ahead.

Strong women from out-spoken and in-your-face to quiet but steely of resolve, to permutations in between. One characteristic that I've noticed strong women share is the understanding that knowledge and wisdom are important tools. So they take education seriously, because it represents independence, the ability to earn their own keep, and it opens up different options in their lives.

It's no wonder that strong women aren't too trusting, because they know only too well about human frailty and betrayal. So they tend to listen to words with a grain of salt. Men need to earn their respect and trust with their actions. And in every woman, as in every man, lies the wish to be loved truly. Good old-fashioned respect is indispensable in a positive relationship with a woman, whether personal or professional, romantic or platonic, whatever it may be.

As you would wish to be respected, then should you extend respect. Especially with a strong woman. Why? Well, because she is strong, so you don't want to face the consequences. That, of course, is tongue-in-cheek.

I've never believed that men are stronger than women or vice versa, because each gender is made and wired differently. There is just no apples-to-apples comparison. That's why we partner with and support each other. Its the best arrangement. And if a woman is strong, why then, celebrate and rejoice in her strength.

Above all, a strong woman is the one who fears GOD, having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and constantly talking to Him through prayer. Who reads the Bible as her daily bread and guidance. A woman who lives in godly, modest and contented life. And foresee Heaven as her wonderful home.

Are you a strong woman??

PROVERBS 31:30 Charm is deceitful, beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised!
