M.O.T.H.E.R.

"M is for the Many things she gave me
"O means only that she's growing Old
"T is for the Tears she shed to save me
"H is for her Heart of purest gold.
"E is for her Eyes with love light shining.
"R means Right and Right she'll always be

"Put them all together they spell MOTHER. 
A word that means the world to me."

A Mother's Creed


I will worry less about my children and trust God more.
I will commit them into the Lord's care.
I will love my children unconditionally and let them know I do.
I will believe in them constantly and encourage them often.
I will pray for them daily.
I will teach them responsibility for their own actions.
I will try to be an example of godliness, but I will be unafraid to let them see my faults.
I will give them generous doses of laughter, interspersed with fun.
I will release them when they are grown but they will always be my own.
Her children arise up, and call her blessed. Proverbs 31:28

Hi everyone! I hope you all are enjoying the summer heat really well! I've been out with my folks serving the Lord, and we got a great plus doing a side trip for a summer fun :)

Here are some clips i'd like to share, coz i'm super proud to be enjoying the Philippines.

Enchanted River in Talisay, Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur.  

Travel tip:
Stay at Paper Country Inn in Bislig City to have a restful stay, with cozy fresh smelling fluffy sheets, decent bathroom with hot & cold shower, over all neat bedroom :) They also serve yummy breakfast for a reasonable price.

Travel early. The hidden paradise is 12kms away from the highway, with limestone road that wasn't a tough ride, but the uphill-downhill slopes scared me. I couldn't actually see the road i'm driving on! And you'd get to encounter big cars, even buses.. on the not so big road. And! since it's a new discovery, lots of locals & tourists visit the place, so you better be early so as not to barge in with a huge crowd (like what we did).

Lunch is served sumptuously. We had a good spread of Kinilaw & Grilled Blue Marlin for 200plus/kilo & a 60peso full "caldero" of rice! The fish is super fresh, super milky... like it melts in your mouth. Hearty!!!

and oh! we missed the fish feeding which is at 12nn, but we caught the special time at 3pm (which is also their basura hour). And next on the exact travel time, we have yet to try the boating/island hopping. Everyone says its a must do--but i never heard of it until we were about to leave.
