  • The Ice at the Summit of Mt. Batulao

    The Ice at the Summit of Mt. Batulao

    This is my second day hike at Mt. Batulao. The good things is the adventure is always brand new.

    It feels like easier for me to route on new trail to old trail. If you want to avoid the sun at noon time then you can go to the old trail first where you can pass by more trees for shelters. The new trail is nice to for sunrise or sunset to enjoy beautiful view on the way to the summit.

    The Ice at the summit of Mt. Batulao

    There is an ice not because of the cold weather but there is a “halo-halo” store at the top. We had our lunch break at the summit and I’m glad that we can also use the spoon of the halo-halo to eat our foods.

    Thank you Leah for having our chicken adobo lunch and side dish such as grapes and melon. I serve my rice, ham and egg for all food are shared together.

    Learning to Let Go

    I lost my camera lens cap while hanging on the old trail steepest cliff. I had the opportunity to look for it but I need to let go because we need to move on and I think it is time for me to replace it with a nicer one.

    The Camp Site

    Over night on the campsite is one of the best parts of the hiking. Our journey is just a day hike but I feel like I want to stay much longer. It is because I want to enjoy more of the nature and having to know more of your new friends.

    Rain Rain Go Away

    We decided to hike even though the rain will shower anytime. I just prepare two umbrella and plastic bag to keep up from rain. We thank you Lord for the nice weather going up to the summit and for holding the rain until we reach on the safer trail.

    Side “FOOD” Trip at Mohogany

    After the long period of journey at the mountain, we indulge ourselves with nice bulalo soup (375Pesos), breaded tawilis and free brew coffee at Mohogany Market.

  • The First Grand Evangelical Mission at Philippine Arena 2014

    The First Grand Evangelical Mission at Philippine Arena 2014

    It is good to be there at Philippine Arena the world’s largest arena. It has 55,000 sitting capacity. Once again it was filled with people gathering to hear and share the truth written in the bible and I was there to witness the event this day of August 2, 2014.

    I am so lucky to get in to the bus going to the arena because the bus was reserved not for us. Some one was able to ask if we can ride together with them and get lucky to have a sit.

    I went separated from my colleague at the bus because I am starving and I went for a place to eat. I’ve been alone for a while until Lindsay Lapitan saw me and approached me to join them with her family and friends.

    Performers, singers and dancers entertained the crowd before the evangelical mission starts around 4:45pm with a prayer.

    Philippine Arena make this is the biggest crowd that I been participated.

    With that kind of numbers, you will gain new friends and prospects.

    After the gathering I went straight back to the bus 94 to retain my sit but it is already full. That time, I am missing the chance to capture the night view of the arena outside so I left the bus and the bus don’t wait for me and go off. It’s okay because I manage to get few shoots of the night view of the Philippine Arena.

    I found another bus and lucky to get in the bus heading to QC Capitol. I jump off the bus stop at New Era Central Avenue and arrived home safe while it is raining.

  • Mid-Year Thanksgiving To God 2014

    Happy mid-year thanksgiving 2014. This mid-year was filled with worries, lost and challenge. Worries to face financial crisis, my father past away last January and facing new challenges in life. I must go on and together with God, you and I are not alone.

    I appreciate so much for being a member of Church Of Christ. It’s the only treasure that I can bring to God. There is always a reason to give thanks. Having your life is more than enough to give thanks in what ever situations.

    Dear God, thank you for having my dad. He passed away and taught me good values in life. I’m so thankful for having a dad who serve as a role model. We still have a loving mom, thank you for making her cheerful and in good health.

    I love making friends, thank you for leading us to find good friends. Some of the are not yet a member of the Church Of Christ, thank you for giving us the opportunity to bear fruits, to invite them become one of your chosen one.

    I am financially broke dear God and I am more willing to give thanks for giving me strength and wisdom to face my problem. You are the great listener whenever I talk to You in a prayer.

    Thank you for all the opportunities. You offer me a blessing that I am responsible to work for rather than nothing. I appreciate it so much for you’re abundant blessing that I can work for.

    I know more about my health conditions, thank you God for making me understand what is good for my health. It is a hard adjustment on my diet but I believe that my reason is enough to stay healthy so that I can always visit your dwelling place to glorify your Name.

    Thank You for all the blessing that we have. I am happy to witness the 100 years anniversary of Church Of Christ and we continue to praise and gave thanks dear God.

  • Know your doubt and think more positive.

    Self-help of thinking positive is very helpful and it works. To make  a good end result then you have to think one hundred percent positively, but sad to say it is often times doesn’t work the way as we expected. By thinking positively, you are increasing the probability of good result but you might not always get it.

    Doubt is present and that is why we think positive to overcome it. You will get some advice to think positively and have no room for doubt, but you might neglect that the answer might be hidden in your doubt. You have to conquer your doubt first and all the positive things in your mind will emerge one by one. Thinking positive is just making an illusion. You have to make that illusion into reality.

    Some people will erase the doubt for you and all you have to do is to trust. This will help you think one hundred percent positive. You are facing on the left and right direction and you don’t know which way is the correct path. Doubt and confusion comes first and it’s hard to decide just by thinking positively. You need to ask who know the correct path and sometimes you have to be patient and wait for the answers.

    You cannot think positively if you know that there is something wrong. Simply you cannot pass the exam when forgot to put your name on your test paper. You have to feel self-assured first and think positively. If you really know the answer and understand the question very well, the chance is you are passing the exam with no doubt. Thinking positively that you are included in the top list is more possible.

    What did you learn?

    Doubt is present and that is why we think positive to overcome it.
    You cannot think positively if you know that there is something wrong.
    Some people will erase the doubt for you and all you have to do is to trust.

    How to remove doubt?

    Learn from your doubt because the answer might be hidden in your doubt.
    Sometimes you have to be patient and wait for the answers.
    Find your confidence, learn and understand because doubts exist with ignorance.

    PS: My first time at the driving rage. I think it is very easy to hit the ball one hundred percent in one swing. I failed because I don’t have an experience and know how to swing perfectly. Doubt is not being negative it only push you to learn first so you can be accurate in thinking positively.

  • The law of attraction is always working. Design it!

    Ever wonder how law of attraction works. Here is one of my experience. Most often you program it unconsciously and you are not aware of it. I have a habit of reminiscing the past and its connection to the present.

    From the past few weeks I used Facebook to publish all the things that I had experience in Singapore. I imagine the taste of the food, the view of Marina Bay Sand, and walking back to University road from where I stayed in Singapore. I involve all my senses as if I was there and remember the food taste, smells, and the price. I looked back on the photos of MBS where I can still feel the dancing light in front of my eyes. I feel so much of it and I want to go back.

    On July 2, 2017 Wednesday, My friend asked me to go back in Singapore and send me money enough to buy two-way ticket. The power of this attraction is amazing where you can able make it happen out of no how.

    Don’t make any room for doubt.

    My ticket is booked and I am ready, but my mind is confuse because the immigration in Singapore is always checking on me. I can’t avoid thinking what happen last December 31, 2013 that I was not allowed to enter. I also don’t have my debit card and extra money because it was lost. I don’t even have an invitation letter and that is very important.

    The law of attraction works simple. The strongest attraction and possibilities will be your best result.

    I have a good chance of passing through the immigration but I fail to fill-up  the disembarkation form correctly.

    I suppose not to check yes at “Have you ever been prohibited from entering Singapore?” they come to attention that I must be check for interview. I thought that question is asking if I had been been previously inadmissible. What it really means is that “have you been committed crime in Singapore.” Now I think that if I did understand the form well I probably pass the immigration without interrogation.

    This is how the law of attraction works. If you are really aware and conscious on its process you can design a good future.

    What I really attracted is my curiosity to know what is going to happen on this trip to Singapore and I want to know how will I avoid it. I am also glad that I am always allowed to enter Singapore as long as I have a proper documentation and most important! Money.

    Before I Close My Eyes Again

    The eyes are one of the most powerful tools a woman can have. With one look, she can relay the most intimate message. After the connection is made, words cease to exist. - Jennifer Salaiz
    The eyes are one of the most powerful tools a woman can have. With one look, she can relay the most intimate message. After the connection is made, words cease to exist.

    I’ve closed my eyes for too long in the dark
    and let this solitude sleeps deep in my heart
    I’ve gone too long hiding from reality
    But this feelings of love is hunting me

    Everything seems over but here I am still waiting.
    Like a child believing that stories has a happy ending.
    I want to have another walk another time to spend
    I want to unlearn what I know about love and love again.

    I want to see the beautiful smile painted on your face
    I appreciate the love while we’re dancing on full moon sway.
    I am loving you more than yesterday and each day I do the same
    and before I close my eyes again, I know it is love.
