Isla de Boracay!




When friends ask me why they should visit the Philippines, I always say because of the people. The country has more than 7000 islands that contain amazing beaches, mountains, waterfalls and springs, but one thing is constant: the Filipino hospitality. We’re a lively and happy bunch who always smile and welcome anyone who visits. You’ll have to experience the Philippines to know what I’m talking about.


Boracay was once considered the most idyllic island in the world and awarded as Best Island in the World by the International travel magazine in 2012. Moreover, it was once notoriously known as a party island with events like La Boracay truly be mesmerized by the  powdery white sand beach & crystal blue water. 

However, due to an overabundance of tourists and mounting sewage problems, the most famous of the Philippines islands was closed in April 2018 for a six-month period of repair and restoration. Boracay is scheduled to officially reopen to domestic and international tourists on 26 October, but many say it is still recovering and needs more time before travelers return. As a well-traveled Filipina who loves her country, I can assure you that the Philippines has so much more to offer. With more than 7000 Philippines islands, you’ll need at least a year to explore every bit of this amazing archipelago. Consider this place as a must see beach here in the South, less overrun, more cost-effective – and just as beautiful as Boracay!
T'was many years ago during my last visit but the reason why I am writing about this lovely island is truly to revive not only in my memory the beauty and majesty of the place, but most especially the island itself as it heals and bring back to life!

(Yhwh) our God Cannot Lie

Trying to take my mind off any racing thoughts. But it doesn't work, still wide awake. I realized it's already midnight, so I tend to pray again a little, return to bed. Staring at the dark ceiling, toss and turn, then noticed it's been already an hour since I last checked the time.       Thinking of something deep, seeking God for clear answers about matters of heart.  Asking him like, "really Lord, you said yes, and this is for real?.... But why it seemed I don't see any signs?", "Did I heard you right ?"  or "Am I only getting impatient?..." Then it is even getting harder to catch a sleep.  There are times that I sincerely prayed for something, committing all my strength to wait on it, believing  that I heard the Lord clearly with the confirmation of the Scripture. But there were days that doubts start rising, and not always in the mood to praise. Times when all of the sudden, I simply want to stop and tell God, " did

Expecting for Rachel

Based on the story: When Jacob Marries Leah & Rachel Genesis 29:14b-30 As a part of God's promise to his grandfather Abraham, Jacob was guided from the very start. He was clearly told by his father Isaac all the instructions that will help him on his journey.  Being one of Laban's closest relative and because of his diligence, he was given an opportunity to ask for anything, a reward for his goodness.  Most of the time, God allows us to ask for something we desire to have; but at the precious time like this, He initiates us to ask for anything. God knows everyone's heart especially when we are serving him with love. His graciousness is at its best if he allows us to ask or petition for something we deeply desire even though he has greater in mind.           In  the story, it is visible that Jacob was fell in love with Rachel. As part of agreement he have to work for seven years for Laban the father. Jacob did not mind the span of time, he

CHOSEN

Sea of Galilee God chooses and we have choices, He is Sovereign, and we have freewill. In the Old Testament, Israel chose to reject God, so He chose to send His Son to redeem us from sin.  When Jesus came, He did so as a suffering servant, not a conquering King. As a result, God's chosen people look different than what's expected. Our greatest desire is to be chosen by someone who is far more wonderful than we could imagine, infatuation flirts with the object of its affection, but true love longs to be with the one it has chosen.  Jesus made a decision to die for the undeserving so He could satisfy our heart's desire to be chosen by God, so it was Jesus desire to glorify God & satisfy our debt by making the decision to die for us . I'm just thinking what does a chosen person's life looks like? The chosen person doesn't have to fake his influence, like Jesus, He doesn't have to fit in with the religious crowd, he just withdraw, He leaves. Jesus is extendi
