Surigao del Sur's finest destination..

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”
– St. Augustine

Taking the holiday off, we did our two days exploration to a province not known to us.





The unexpected twist of our destination and the most tiring trip for we had to commute only by van and a single motorcycle (scary ride..)hence, turned out to be the exciting, challenging, and memorable experience ever.

Traveling almost 163kms. from Davao to Bislig...

Our first unexpected destination was to Hinatuan Islet. This was my first time to ride such a tiny boat while the sea waves splashed untiringly.

The following morning, our next destination was to Hinatuan's Enchanted River.

Clear freshwater, blue lagoon, and characterized by thousands of fish freely enjoying the water...














































































Our third destination was to Tinuy-an Falls Burboanan, Bislig,15 kms. from Enchanted River.

"Lord, how vast is thy gifts of nature..how little i am!"

"Trudging the top of the falls...catching my breath."

"God's wonder is amazing!"



Have a Joyful Christmas and
a blessed New Year to all!

Life is like a cup of coffee..

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live.

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor the coffee, not the cups! The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.

Energy-saving fan

The holiday season is approaching but I still feel the humidity around. Ah!Global warming! Are you feeling the same way? But thought of cost cutting and so instead of having the air condition on for long hours, maybe additional ceiling fans would be of great help. The good thing about this present time is that, you don't need to sweat around searching for the best or shall I say quality products and deal with the traffic along downtown area. Online stores are just clicks away!

I think one of the best things about purchasing online product such as ceiling fan, is that each detail is well presented from frames, functions, packages, and up to learning about the latest design and features. But of course who says you can't bargain? Actually you can. They also offer great discounts especially now that the holiday season is around the corner. I go for energy-saving fan and found Hansen Wholesale Ceiling Fans offering this great deal. You too may be in one with me. Find out who makes the Best Ceiling Fans here!:)

Elevate your domain

Why is web hosting now hitting big in world wide web? You don't simply own a domain or a site online here but you are also hitting your market around the globe. As an old cliche goes, "you are hitting two birds in one stone". You simply express your thoughts and rambling online or earn out of it. However, there are still some of us who are not confident in owning a domain especially when thinking of how much it might cost in a year. There are actually a lot of web hosting providers that offer their clients great deals to avail even the cheapest amount possible.

Now, as the latest technology continues to grow and even change, sometimes and even oftentimes it has become an exciting idea that as site owners, we want to elevate our own domain into the next level. This includes moving to a new service provider that offers greater services where our traffic is maintained. Hence, to have all your important files preserved, it is very important too that you know how to backup your website. Well, I do not know all of this in detail other than webhostingfan.com!:)

web hosting

It's been years and I'm counting! I actually don't normally count days, years, or moments but simply reminisce and value them regardless of whether they happened for only a minute, days, months, or years. Well, it's my journey online. People come and go but moments still linger on.

Anyway, thanks to blogging!More so that I thought already of web hosting. Pretty sure this has lots to offer just like what my mentor, Gladys, does. She has managed hosting on her site for quite number of years now. And indeed, it has become her online success. This too is a good idea for small and medium intrapreneurs online whose interests are into web hosting and of course, considering its colocation is already a big bonus.

Just as I do, you might also be counting the number of times you've been writing articles online and only wish to earn a great deal out of it. We have such a fastest growing technology nowadays and service providers like superb.net is of great help.

life

When we only see life with all its physicality and expect about what the finite things around can do to to us--we will only end up in frustration. The world is full of deceptions and that if we are not cautious to them--we become victims of our own impulsive judgments because by nature, man can easily adapt to what the world adheres him to be.

We are not supposed to expect too much from life but rather let life finds us capable of making it at least a better one, if not perfecting it. So much so that we will see our existence not only consists of a cosmic body of physicality that only aims for physical survival,but of soul able to reach beyond the beautiful that is not confounded in the naked eye alone but in the so many abstractions of life like love, kindness and sensitivity.

Only then perhaps, we can stop complaining from life and go instead to our innate capability, not confined with selfishness or ego but with the aim for a worthwhile cause ---maybe then life will have fullness and of grand meaning.

Sometimes in life, we can only be content. Happiness starts from within. It's a reflection of how far you've become while the rest haven't..because they choose to. Cheer up!Life is a celebration of YOU.

"God doesn't require us to succeed;
he only requires that you try."
