In Awe of the Holidays

Emotion is at the heart of the holidays. Looking through the Christmas presents and greetings from facebook I have received thus far this year, I am struck by references to “joy,” “peace,” “love,” “cheer,” and “merriness.”

 My holiday moments will not be more splendid  without spending it with my loved ones especially on New Year's Day. The main highlights were hanging out together with Kenn, my Paopao!!



“Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!

 This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!

 I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!”

Wishing more good times and more abundance for the Year 2015!!! Thanks Lord for a very blissful year!!!

Camotes Island: Our Trip to the Lost Horizon of the South

Imahe
Summer is not just the time to go to places to relax, unwind and soul searching. You can have all the days you want, all the time you need and all the places to visit. Since I was in college, I always wanted to visit some bigger islands here in Cebu. Human combustion isn’t real. At least, that’s what my science professors in college and high school said. Yet, somehow, I felt like I was on the verge of bursting into flames as the dry season was about to officially kickoff. With Metro Cebu heating up environmentally and politically, I had a craving for a refreshing escapade to get away from the hot spell. And, as I was going through a multitude of options, a beautiful idea flashed into my mind. Why not take a plunge at the famous beaches and trendy places in Camotes Island here in Cebu? So, I, together with my laag buddies, ventured into the neigboring town, Camotes Cebu, and released our happy hormones at Lake Danao, Paraiso Cave, Busay Falls, Buho Rock Resort, Santiago White ...

The Cafe Hopper!

Imahe
Apart from being workaholic person, I also set my another businesses into pleasures which I'm always counting on. Because I believe some things should not be taken for granted for those have been around for a long time.  What I'm talking about actually are the simple pleasures that also gives meaning to life. And some of these might be new for me because it's more indulging, like my newest passion, "photography." But recently, I'm into hops and fun! Particularly in a place called Cafe.. So, yes, I'm now literally called a cafe hopper even if I'm too occupied with work-related activities. It's another new simple pleasure and a new temporary "humble abode" for me (just fondly called) because there's no place like home, anyway! hehe.  Needless to say, I'm overjoyed when I'm in a cafe, considering it's as odd as before. I guess, this started when I've experienced and learned so many things from all the travels, adven...

Alicia Hills: The Gleaming Rolling Hills of Alicia, Bohol

Imahe
                      Every adventure connoisseur needs a little spontaneity in their getaways. In the age of Facebook, Instagram and Google, we rarely take a hike for a simple exploration adventure. Nowadays, everything is researched, planned and even rehearsed. Of course, we all know the thrill of hiking somewhere awe-inspiring is still there. But, wouldn’t it be better or more exciting if your escapade started the moment you chase the 5:00 a.m. boat trip to Bohol? Wouldn’t it be more rewarding and fulfilling to go somewhere barely touched by tourists like Alicia Panoramic Hills? Alicia Town Proper                              And, I get it – most of us don’t like the feeling of uncertainty. We are all scared of exploring the unknown and not having a clue on what’s going to happen. We are afraid that things will not go as expected or t...
