Rush booking

After 2 decades, I was able to visit Mindanao again.

This is where my father grew up and where most of my relatives are residing...particularly in Plaridel, Misamis Occidental.

I have always have good memories of Mindanao. The smell of fresh air with mixed scents of copra. The smell of flowers and marang and durian. The mountains, green fields and the countless coconut trees. It's just that we hadnt had the time and budget to visit.... Well, until last Saturday 8/18/2012. We had to book immediately because of the changes in the date of my uncle Vicvic internment. I, on the other hand had to go back to Manila the morning after.

Soon as we touched down Ozamiz airport I smelled the distinct odor....yes! It's calachuchi flower. I smelled fresh air.

The rest was just awesome scenery.

I am going back next time for a vacation with my family. There's much to see. :)

Treachery

"Bite me when Im looking not when Im not."


It is a hard and sad reality that it is so fatal to trust people around you, nowadays.
It's hard to know who is nice in front of you and who remain as such the moment you turn your back. But yes, nice and good are of different terms to begin with. It takes sincerity to be good.

Conversely, do not regret ever trusting people and giving them your 100% trust only to find out later they are stabbing your back. Ask yourself "Are they really happy resorting to that?".

It is frustrating but at the same time look at it as a relief. Relief in the sense that at least now you know who to keep and who to avoid, going forward. Good riddance as you do not need negative energies in your journey. Life is so short, choose to travel light. Choose to travel happy.
Do not descend to their preferred level. No, do not fight their way. Just reserve your energy to some [other] things of importance and relevance. Wish them peace. For all you know these are the people who are going through some difficult times accepting themselves; who they really are and who they want to be..and how to achieve that. Pity them instead and pray that they find serenity.
Focus your attention on the good things and good people. Remember, no one can ever put a good person down. Oh well, anyone can try....but will never achieve.

It's really fascinating how two people find each other amidst the number of human being in this world.

Is there a map that they used to finally find the one? Well, I hope that's how easy it is..

God must have been preparing the person...

or maybe it is me who's being prepared by God for that someone.

I have no idea.

But one thing is for sure...there is one right person meant for me.

No matter how far...no matter how near...wherever we are right now...the maps in our hearts will connect our paths...

In time...in God's perfect time......we will find each other. :)
