Just Like That
Saturday, January 14, 2023
Hello 2023, Welcome back to me!
So happy to be back here again! After 2 years or more at last I'm back. Thank you to Sofia for helping me in fixing my account here. I thought I will never use this blogsite again, I'm almost giving up that I will never fix this site again and will become a storage of memories na lang but thanks God talaga. Well if it's your first time to be here, I'm honestly telling you - I am not a writer and I consider informal writing like this as a therapy wherein I can freely say what is in my mind and heart, so its up to you if you will back read some of the articles I wrote or if you will still continue to read. Yeah, that is a disclaimer.
HELLO 2023
My heart is overflowing with thanksgiving to the Lord for the past year. Ang daming itinuro ng Lord sa akin, ang dami Nyang ginawa sa buhay ko, ang dami Nyang ipinaranas. And to summed it all, He is good all the time - His goodness, His faithfulness and His love never ceases.
If only I have this site fixed last year ang dami ko sigurong entry baka magsawa na kayo sa kababasa or makulitan na kayo sa kwento ko 😁😂. And since its new year - let's start with a new slate. I know and claimed that this year will be another great and blessed year. Year lang ang nagbabago pero ang Lord who is the Giver of everything never change. His faithfulness and goodness remains kahit nga hindi natin deserve, ganyan kabuti ang Panginoon.
Few days before 2023, ako lang ba yung maraming realizations and plans? I guess almost all of us may kanya-kanyang plans and goals for 2023. Its good to have plans and goals so we know the direction that we should take. But I hope the plans and goals that you jotted down didn't cause you to be anxious or brought you stress and fear. Instead of worrying, pray that the Lord will guide you this 2023, if will ng Lord yung mga plans and goals natin then sure yun whatever it takes it will be fulfilled. Sometimes we are impatient - ang gusto kasi natin timeline natin ang masusunod and even me guilty din ako minsan sa pagiging impatient. Sometimes dahil ang akala natin naipagpray na natin at may mga ginawa tayo na steps to fulfill it ay ok na yun. Minsan because we are in ahurry and we are impatient hindi natin naririnig kung ano nga ba ang sinasabi ng Lord at ano nga ba ang gusto Nya sa mga plans or goals natin. Sometimes kasi concrete na yung plans natin tapos dadalhin at paaapprove na lang natin kay Lord, nakalimutan natin na before ng any plans natin dapat nagtanong muna tayo sa Kanya, nagconsult muna tayo. The Lord is gracious that even sometimes nga may katigasan tayo ng ulo bakit pumapabor pa din sa atin - hindi dahil magaling ka it's because sa grace ng Panginoon.
As we start this year, may learn to surrender our plans and goals to the Lord. May our heart be submissive to Him - mangyari man or hindi ng lahat ng plans at goals natin, always remember na mabuti lagi ang plans Nya for us. Sometimes we are blinded to see na mas maganda ang plans ng Lord for us kasi we are over focused sa kung anong gusto nating makita which is yun ay ang plans natin. Always remember walang gusto ang Panginoon kundi ang mga bagay na the best for us. May mga times na akala natin pinapahirapan tayo ni Lord pero ang nakakalimutan nating panghawakan ay ang kabutihan at kataparan Nya. May times na ba sa buhay mo na pinabayaan ka Nya or pinahamak ka Nya? wala di ba, at end of the rope yung akala mo walang wala na andon pa rin pala Sya. So this 2023 mas magtiwala tayo kay Lord - faithing pa rin this 2023, lumalaban ng mga pananampalataya. Don't be discouraged if ever na di mangyari ang mga plans mo according to your timeline kasi for sure mas maganda ang lahat kung mangyayari sa timeline ni Lord.
God bless us all ^_^

Dream Now, Travel Later
I love nature and I really love to see the famous alpine village in Grindelwald Switzerland. Waking up with the view with the smells of fresh trees and flowers, hearing the sounds of the lakes while sipping coffee and doing your morning devotion. Iniisip ko pa lang super naeexcite na ako :) And how about the Swiss chocolates that everyone love!
Ever since I was a child I heard a lot of stories how beautiful this country is and from then I get interested to read about it though not that much. Just recently found myself watching travel vlogs about it. Frankfurt, Munich, and Berlin, at least one of these cities man lang :) I'm not much into city tour but these three captured my heart talaga ^_^
New Zealand
Who can't resist the scenic beauty of this country! I love nature - the greens, lakes, fresh air, alpines, and they have these all. Hindi na ako magiging choosy kung saan cos I know all of their place has something good to offer.
I fell in love in this country when I watched the movie "The Fault in our Stars" If I'm not mistaken that is in Amsterdam and until now I'm still in love to its vibes. Planned a trip before with my friends in the church but good thing it was not pushed, that's the same month when my mom passed away :(
Japan
It everyone's dream destination and I belong to them! Beautiful, historical, nature places and even places for shopping they have it. Food tripping is a must part of the itinerary. I worked in a Japanese international company for 9 years but during that time mahigpit pa sila sa pagiissue ng visa compare today.
Israel
Its every Christian dream destination to visit the Holy Land and given a chance to visit the place I will choose during pre- winter season, the weather is not that hot and not that cold. Siguro maiiyak ako when I first land my feet especially don sa mga places na kung saan lumakad si Jesus. According to some friends na nakapunta na iba daw talaga ang feeling. God's willing talaga I can visit.
I still have a lot places in my mind that I want to visit - Spain also is in my top 10 but for now yan muna :)
More than material things I learned now to appreciate and treasure memories. Memories that I can keep forever in my heart and mind. I learned that travelling is not a "luxury" thing and not a waste of money. God created each country with its own beauty. Each places has its own landmarks that everyone will remember. Travelling in other countries or even in local places is really a blessing. It may sounds expensive and its really is but if you will plan and really save for it, it will all worth it. For now while there's still pandemic, let us continue to pray until this end. Let's pray for all countries and their citizens too. The Lord continue to heal the world.
Keep safe, healthy, and sane! God bless us all

Faithing
In midst of our situation today we are so vulnerable to all kinds of negativity. Social media feeds are filled with news that will make us feel down— the number of positive patients of COVID are rising, just today dito sa Qatar 929 ang new cases, frontliners are getting sick and dying especially sa medical fields, marami na rin ang mga nagsasarang companies at mga small businesses na walang kita, isa na ako don as M is for MINERVA is for the meantime no transactions but God's will malapit na ulit, and marami tayong mga kababayan na makikita or nababalitaan natin na nagugutom.
