Kape at Keso

Then again, going on a trip without a plan is coming into a war without a pair of boots on. But my friend said it wasn't war so I went with her. It was around 7pm when we reached Consuelo port. Habal-habal and Tricycle drivers are queuing - lots of them. So booking ahead is a coward's nest. 😁The habal-habal driver led us to a nearby accommodation - 800.00/night, with TV and Aircon, a clean bathroom, a carenderia outside, a sari-sari store across! No worries! We booked the same driver for the tour the next day! 😚 Here are the places we went to: 1. Lake Danao - We came earlier than other tourists so the place brought so much tranquility in me. 2. Timubo Cave - Yes. We're earlier again so I could hear cave sounds and water sounds and echoes and it was creepy but mesmerizing! 3. Buho Rock - My friend couldn't swim so I decided to dip alone. I wanted to jump off the rock but no one's gonna wait me down. 4. Paraiso Cave- Some tour...

Contra Mundum! Defy the world! Glad to have finally watched "Ang Larawan". There's no way I'll critique the movie coz it's not just right. 😅 But let me share to you what I felt the whole time. To say that the movie is beautiful is an understatement. The fact that the setting dates back before the Second World War broke, has made me glued to it. I'm not a history buff but I get interested when I'm told about the past. There's nothing so satisfying when I hear notable versions of what happened at the time I was half-egg-cell-half-sperm. I watched intently and got mesmerized by the simplicity, tranquility, and modesty of Filipino life back then. The way men and women dressed, the design of the houses that show your economical status, and how the young people respect the elders. Also, there's music. My gosh! Joanna Ampil's singing prowess is jaw-dropping. Her acting skill is way, way, way moving. She made me "nganga" with h...

Gone are the celebrations. It's time to face the real deal. What are you gonna do next? What are you hoping for 2018? Since last year, I've grown tired of writing down my faith goals. Probably because more than half of them didn't even come to life? Perhaps the one that I'm praying God for years didn't even show any progress? Should I be mad at God about it? No. 😑 There are more significant things to thank God for. Even the storm, the brokenness, the stagnation - all of them are God's dealing in my life. And instead of feeling anguish, the best I can do is to fall down on my knees and praise God. However, like any other relationships, mine and Jesus' has been dead in the water. That's how I see it but not Jesus. He continued to plant and grow hope in me. 😢 Time and time again He showed me His Grace. He taught me to be more in love with Him every day. Yet I resisted. I was in the state of not listening to Him anymore. I can hear t...
