Page 1 of 365: Happy New Year!!! :)

AND IT'S A WRAP!!

Congratulations! You've made it this far! Sure 2012 has been a hard and tough year; yet you survived.

It's been an amazing year. 2012 brought a lot of memories - both good and bad. All those memories will help me to face my future. I don't want to sum up my 2012 in so many words, I am just grateful to God that I was able to live through it. I made and lost friends but it is part of life. I have gone up and fallen down. It is always a rollercoaster ride, sometimes we fall but most of the time we succeed and survived - that what really matters. 

So today, we face a new beginning. A new hope was given to us. We have to set our minds and hearts for what is about to happen. As long as we have faith in God and we believe in ourselves, nothing is impossible. :)

This year let us make ourselves better, wiser and bolder. Cheers to confidence, maturity, witty and love. Always remember that this 2013, a new journey awaits. For those who were part of my 2012, thank you for sticking around and let us continue this little journey that we started. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! :)

Mt. Talamitam: My Mother Mountain

Image
Sitting at the top of Mt. Talamitam last Feb. 2016 It was February this year when I finally said "yes" to my friend Toni's invitation to hike a mountain. After several invitations that I declined in the past, she was able to lure me in (and it's something that I did not regret!) I was actually scared as it is my first time to climb a mountain. Thoughts like "What will I do?", "Can I do it?", you know the usual "what if's" that you can think of when doing something you never did before. But all of these were gone when I started my journey with the mountains and then fell in love with it. :) With my friend, Toni. :) Mt. Talamitam is my "Mother Mountain". This is the term that mountaineers use to acknowledge the first mountain that they have climbed and reached the summit. Honestly, I joined the climb out or curiosity, to understand the enthusiasm that my other mountaineer friends have in climbing mount...

A trip to KAMAY NI HESUS

Image
This is the last part of our last trip to Quezon. We visited the famous Kamay Ni Hesus in Lucban, Quezon. Its like a 30 minute drive from Tayabas. I did not count how many stairs we had to climb before we get into the top. Next time I'll count them.  Its been a great trip to Jesus' Hands! :) Feel blessed!

El Nido: A Paradise Part 2

Image
Welcome to our second day of Island tour in the beautiful place of El Nido in the heart of Palawan. :) We stayed there for 4D/3N but still those days were not enough to explore all the islands of El Nido. Maybe next time will book for 5 days. Our guide and boat operator at the first day told us that El Nido alone has 150 islands. I'm still verifying that information as of this writing.  An escape to paradise. :) I can say that this trip is the highlight of my 2013. Indeed it's MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES!!! :) The travel time is so worth it. We visited several islands/beaches that El Nido is very proud of. During our stay, we were able to visit these breathtaking sceneries. In our first tour we visited the Small and Big Lagoon, Shimizu Beach where we had our lunch, Secret lagoon and the 7 Commando Beach.  On our second day of island tour, we came to see the Cathedral Cave, Matinloc Shrine, Helicopter Island, Snake Island, Cudugnon Cave, Secret beach and Pangulasian ...
