Why being Single really rocks?

At one point in our lives we have been single. Not sure how long and how each individual coped up with it. Relationships are awesome especially when you're with the right person who will love you back. But let's be honest, being single can make you feel more special.

Being single means less compromising and less sacrificing! Focus on your interests and goals and do whatever you want and whenever you want.

Dubai Marina (May 19, 2016)

I reach this age, still single and waiting for the "Right Man". From my previous blog, I thought I already found "The One", but it's a failure for a long distance relationship. I am now, in the process of healing, accepting, and letting go of the pain.

.

Being single means:
You don't need to compromise
You have all the time in the world.
You focus more on your career, more quality time to your family and friends
You can seek adventure, fulfillment and exploration over emotional security and control
You have far more time for yourself, your hobbies and passions.

Improving your self-esteem and re-defining your self-worth.

Freedom from emotional responsibility.

Smiley Hello, A sad Goodbye

Love, look at the two of us

We act like strangers again.

The flame of love is as cold as ice.

Precious words, no longer there?

Precious moments we have, a simple hello

Now vanishing in the air in thirty-seconds.

For second time, I believe in the game of love.

But I fail, with wounded heart.

I thought, the searched is over,

The love I felt in you.

But then, I am just dreaming,

Underestimate how love plays a fool.

Please, wake me up into this bad nightmare

Help me accept  the truth and reality.

Let me heal the bruise from broken promises

For me to believe again, in the name of True Love.

Acting as Super Sonic

It was my first time to act as Super Sonic hero in an Indoor Amusement Theme Park located in Dubai Mall.

It was a hilarious experience and I was laughing out loud while wearing the costume as Super Sonic.

I experienced being hit at the back, hugged, and loved by the kids playing around. There are some kids who are naughty, lovable, and curious.

Now, I experienced being a mascot is not an easy job. Interesting but quite tough in my own opinion

Longing for Christmas

Yuletide season is here again. Christmas decors everywhere, attractive lighting and Christmas songs filled the air.

This will be my third year to spend holiday away from home. There is no place like home, when spending quality time and happy moment with your loved-ones and friends especially on this special occasion that comes once a year.

Though my eyes are filled with lovely colors and my heart listens to wonderful music, still I'm longing for Christmas and New Year's Eve.

Let us all be home on this holiday season.

Dark Vision

Dark Vision

How can you see the beauty of the world,

If  your world turns to darkness.

How can you now appreciate the person standing there,

If you no longer recognize the angelic face.

My heart is sobbing from sadness,

The bitter of not seeing anymore.

How I wish I have the power to bring light,

The light that was taken away from you

I love you from the bottom of my heart,

You're my strength when I was then a toddler.

Now, let me return the care you gave to me,

I carry you, wherever you want to go.

The Memories in Velavaru

Today will be my last day here in Angsana Velavaru. Mixed emotion as I packed all my things. As one chapter of my journey ends, another chapter will open.

For the remaining two weeks of my stay in this resort, I really enjoyed and spent quality time with my friends. I explore sea creatures under the sea by learning how to swim and snorkel, do canoe, visit local island, join the night party (1st time to experience in this resort), and last night we had a sumptuous family dinner (I consider this my second home)

I requested to our Transportation Manager to have a first flight back to Male. I don't want my friends to see me bid goodbye or else I will break down.

I will cherish all my wonderful experiences,  as I go back home to Philippines.
Thank you to all staff and friends!
God bless my next journey.

Enjoy the company

“Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.”

The Last Trip

It's hard to say goodbye,

To a place I considered home.

As my journey near to end,

Memories filled my lonely heart.

Can I still have another chance?

Can I still have another glimpse?

As I bid goodbye to my second home.

Carrying a heavy heart 

Life is really tough sometimes,

But I have to move on,

And accept the inevitable.

Maldives: My second home

The hardest word to say, is by saying goodbye to a place you considered second home.

A place where I hold on to my dreams, a place where I have gained friends, a place where I enjoyed travelling in other resorts, and a place wherein I will cherish every moment until I grow old.

My journey never ends here. Second thoughts still lingered on my mind. Life has twist and turn.

But, I entrusted it to the Lord all of my decisions in life. I cannot do this alone without Him.
I just believe in myself I can go through with this.






I cherished all the moments.

In God I seek refuge

I feel confused.....my brain cannot think well....exhausted mind cannot set a concrete plan.

At this current status of my career, too many questions of why, what and how. Why because, why things happened like this. What because, what I am going to do next. How because, how do I start. 

It never came across to my mind, that I will experience this kind of scenario I am experiencing right now.

I have many plans in the future, but I am currently in this kind of situation where everybody doesn't know where we are heading to.

I want to voice out our rights, but no power to do so. I am afraid to fail, afraid of not fulfilling what has been planned.

I am living my dream, a dream that came into reality. Picturesque crystalline water with pristine white sand. Photographic location that I only see in magazines and books, but now, this is the place where I lived right now.

I always pray but I think my prayer is not enough. I always ask for favors, but I think I ask too much.

I always plan ahead, but I think my plans are lacking of glorifying the name of  the

Lord.

By writing this article, I am releasing my frustrations and let the Holy Spirit directs me what to do.

As I opened my Bible, it says at 1 Thessalonians 5: 23-28

    "23 May the God who gives us peace make you holy in every way and keep your whole being- spirit, soul, and body- free from every fault at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

"24 He who calls you will do it, because he is faithful."

"25 Pray also for us, friends."

"26 Greet all the believers with the kiss of peace."

"27 I urge you by the authority of the Lord to read this letter to all the believers."

"28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you."

In Loving Memory

Life is like a newly watered plants in the garden,

Fresh in the morning, soon it will be withered.

Vibrant color green when it is still young,

When the time comes, the leaves will fall.

It will touch the ground, soon it will be gone.

I still miss the childhood days with you,

Your serious face and funny smile.

Only in  memory, I can remember you.

It's too late to say, " I love you".

Why can't I stop these tears?

Why can't I stop blaming myself?

Being selfish for keeping eight long years,

Not asking how are you?

Being affected by this emotion I kept inside,

Thinking always Grandma, instead of you.

If only I can bring back the time

I want to say sorry and  forgive you.

Now you're gone Papang,

How can I read these lines to you?

How can you hear me singing it loud?

Amazing grace, I sing it for you:(
