How time flies so fast!In my years of blogging, there have been lots of changes around. Other than losing track with a few good friends here in blogosphere, there are shifting of careers, of moving on,of being out to see what's at the far end..where the path leads. At times, I would look back and smile at them.We meet people, we go with trends,we laugh or weep with others, we complain about social and political issues, we go on with our sailing, we dream the same dream, aim for the same goal, deal almost same challenges.. while all these teach the same lesson.

Life, every day and every year that unfolds, teaches us one common end- to be in one with others and circumstances as we are with ourselves..to be gentle as much as possible, however, firm and strong when the situation calls. And though the lessons may be countless, still we come to ask ourselves- "how much have I become out it all? am I now a learned person than who I was back then? I am not actually good in assessing myself no matter how I try. I still get to falter even in my faith at times. The only perfect thing I always hold true is that~ He never leaves.

Well, what am I talking here, by the way?(lol!) I haven't done this contemplation in a while. Hope I make sense. ;p

ang tagal ko nang di naging emosyonal
ninamnam ko yata lahat ng bagay na masaya

pero ngayon
ngayon kolang yata gustong umiyak
kala ko tuloy-tuloy na
babalik rin pala ako sa'king dating emosyon

basta!gusto kolang umiyak sandali
lilipas din 'to..
"blogspot,pa-senti muna ha!
pramis, ngayon lang
ngingiti din ako uli bukas.

only lessons..

fashion scrubs

Nowadays, fashion statement does not only limit into wearing your most comfortable outfit during non-working days. You may still look fashionable even when you're in uniform at work. I'm surprised how much styles can go so far these days especially for those who are in the medical profession. And that even in their nursing uniforms, they may still bring out fashion in them. But not only uniforms for nurses are available but even dental uniform or dental scrubs which are of finest quality.

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.
