Why I wanna explore and do great adventure???? Here's why.....
Sometime in 1999, I went to a rural area on the island of Panay, Philippines were we had the burial of my gramma. No photo of the place but just hallucinate yourself that you're with me. Gramma lived on a very small hut in the middle of about 10 hectare ricefield. On the left side lies a hill with bamboos swaying, with winds that whispers God's awesomeness. Opposite to that, you can hear a river rushing flowing to where it should be.... About 5:00pm, I slept on a small table, cool enough to hear the water flowing and the winds blowing on my face. I could hear the echoes of my voice. Flashbacks of those memories urges me to do more travels in search of a peaceful place to enjoy.
Seven years later, in my crossroad of choosing a career, it was like God picked me up and brought me to a wonderful place with features totally the same with what I really wanted. I found it in my missions trip. On the island of Mindoro,Phil, northwestern tip lies my beautiful village, Agbalite. I found God in the scenery. His handiwork is really amazing, rivers, seas, ricefields, mountains, sunsets and sunrises. Packed with natural beauty, it's totally a glimpse of how beautiful is God. A little heaven. With those beauty, lies a small village with people outcasted from society. Very far from high technolgy, no electricity, and no EDUCATION. Very primitive lifestyle, life's not organized, no one ever told them. Today, they are opt to change. They have God in their hearts that amidst their ignorance, they have a very BIG HEART for Jesus. Though I'm no longer in this village now, the time I spent with God gave me a better view of life. My prayers are always with them bringing more people to draw closer to our Creator. More stories then! Love and peace to all.

There is beauty all around!
It matters the way beholders appreciate it, tho' perfection is marred with the destroyer yet amazing is the love of the Creator to have talented and creative lady as beautiful as YOU!
Everything was made out of nothing and there the fullness of the earth. Ours are just searching, take ventures in this world including the right partner He has laid in store for us.
Hope you have one to share with not too long from now inviting us to be on that long table to happen once in your life.
My love and prayer for you always
