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.
