When I was in Elementary I've got this guy text me to follow him at Eden, Davao during Summer for we were both in Davao but I was in the different side of the City. I giggled that time coz we were both there and we're from General Santos so to my mind that time we were destined together. haha! funny how an eleven year old girl think of such?! I forgot where my parents and I went that time it was also a park but I forgot its name. I was so giddy that time and I wanted to see him there but it was too far from where I was. I havent regretted not seeing him there, though. And now I'm glad to have visited Eden this year rather than years ago coz it made me appreciate more the beauty of nature and its impact on me especially now that I'm working and most of my weekends are dedicated to some meetings and government-related activities. The excitement was there and the feeling to experience all the park could offer is so high I have never backed out to one single activity that I'm allowed to try. I never let opportunities slip through my fingers that is why whatever it is thats offered to me are instantly answered with a "yes!"

As I wander along the aviary up to the Butterfly garden with my colleagues we made a lot of halts and picture taking and tried some activities that awaken the inner child within me at PINOY GAMES. We've found a dandelion which a friend have blown several times for a photo-op but haven't captured well. Walking down that uphill garden gave me a soothing relief, it gave me a chance to mingle with nature at a short span of time and passing through my nasal was the scent of the greeneries that I can rarely smell in the City.  

My friends and I was actually planning to visit the park but never got the chance to. We've already reached Divine Mercy Shrine, Cagayan De Oro for my birthday and  Bohol during the Fiesta in Dauis for the sake of adventure and fun but never have we visited Eden Park which is only a three-hour drive away. I thought visiting the park would take me years and then suddenly, out of no where I've been invited to join a pack and explore all the places we could ever take a step on in one day and tried their recreational activities such as skyswing, skycycling, skyrider and Indiana Jones. The skyswing was the scariest of them all or maybe it was the lack of sleep and the first activity Ive tried that made it more scary. I can only imagine the feeling of having a swing in Ecuador  where you have to do it into a steepish hill around 100 feet up and you're released into the void over the canyon without any safety features. Could any girl like me brave theirselves up and try it?

I seek so many things in life that satisfies my craving soul. It was just yesterday that I was about to take an exam towards my lifes ambition-Philippine Air Force Soldier. But with so many things that hinder me from taking I took the road to pleasure and adventure, eradicating the giddy feeling towards something you aim at so much and not having an access to it due to interventions that I highly considered DIVINE INTERVENTIONS.

So yesterday, I woke up around 4:39 in the morning, readied my self but my tummy aches. And you instantly know that if your tummy aches it really gives you discomfort and sometimes makes you avoid things for it might lead you to an embarrassing scenario that you would wish not to happen, because it will shame you. As deciding to whether join my boss into his little adventure and taking the exam I took no answer but let the present decide. Since I happen to have lost my permit a day before yesterday I was torn already between deciding to go and not to take the exam but a little voice inside me kept telling you can make excuses! But as I searched all over our office yesterday at around 6 in the morning, I haven't seen the envelope to which my permit was laying sweet. So the option to go on an adventure with the boss, reigns. As we were on our way to Davao, I've received a call and a text about my permit's whereabouts that I totally freakin' told my self "Im not bound to take the exam, this time" with all those tribulations that happens yesterday, I dont think it's meant to be. 

So with all due respect to sadness and pain, I tried wake boarding for the first time. Learning knee boarding and doing rounds twice without having myself hurt and flank upgraded me to wake boarding and that's where all the pain I'm feeling today is from. Neck and arms are totally weak though pain is a bit bearable it's still such a hassle coz I cannot carry things such as a kilo of sorts. But the experience totally gave me a new perspective, I might do this once in three months since the place is three hours away from my home. :)

 

Wake boarding is such a fun activity for those who prefer adventures and water. It's a refresher to my fragile soul at the moment but I swear I've never regret having this one than taking the exam. Coz taking it and passing it would imperil my plans in the coming months. I believe, God has a plan. 

As the saying would go,  "God is up to something. There is a reason why you went through what you went through. Trust the process. He's got you."

Sharing you all the stuff I've been inspired lately and when time would allow, I will be pursuing my creative side and hope to get clients, too!:)

I just turned XXII last January 31st and to tell you honestly I've been dreaming to travel with friends when I finished my studies. If given the chance I like to travel abroad, too. But for the mean time, we can only go to places our pockets could afford to. Our destination, Cagayan De Oro City-10 hours away from my home city.

Visiting Cagayan is like bringing myself back to Zamboanga City, with its one-of-a-kind tricycle and  stone thrown away restaurants and foodcourts, I found myself at home..They only differ in foods and fare, Cagayan has the cheapest rates when it comes to both, plus the people are kind and they aren't rude. The only thing you have to remember when you get into the city is refrain from using smartphones inside the public vehicle, they say there are ALOT of snatchers around, waiting for their victims to display their expensive phones(I even noticed people while inside a jeep, none of them are holding there phones).

We went to Lifestyle District, its a growing Night Spot opened last August 2013. It has Live Music Events and people usually go there to chill. We ate at Hollywood Diner and I swear I loved their Nachos!

Francesca's- a legacy restaurant is located in Marfoni Compound, near Chingkeetea house. The diner is filled with private antique collections  yet it is still very spacious. If you love History and art, do not miss walking towards the diner.Yesterdays memories, the Family's Tradition and Members as well as the City's past are all preserved within it.

Its christmas time!

I love my 2014, Im so blessed to have been a part of the workplace I'm currently at and have experienced all that my year has to offer..December 12, 2014 is also a great day for me coz its the first time I had two christmas party to attend and even if I didnt got lucky to have been called during the SP's raffle I still felt blessed to have been informed that I won a tablet during the draw lots of the Liga ng Barangay Throwback Christmas Party @Pacman Beach Resort but since the team left, I have not claimed the prize and it was handed over to the next person being called by the emcee! (I was so happy to know I won because Im very aware that I have no luck in such kind.) 

Hohoho. Hope everyone is having a good christmonth coz I do and I'm very content with it. 😇
