An Important Lesson

While browsing through old emails from one of my yahoo groups, I stumbled on an email that taught me a very important lesson. Here it is:

“Everyday, God carries us during the day. Still, do we insist in carrying our heavy baskets of worries and fear of the future, for family, kids, spouse, money, job, etc.? We are carried by Almighty Hands, watched over by sleepless eyes and God plans our future. Let us then relax and lay down everything in God’s Hand.”

Thank You Lord for carrying me and my baskets today.

Subic Beach, Matnog

Photo Taken by: Peter Nick Schneider

I am a Sorsoganon but I really haven’t got a chance to visit this magnificent place in the southernmost part of Luzon – the Subic Beach in Calintaan Island, Matnog, Sorsogon. Last year, we planned to go there but because of the unfriendly weather when we reached Bulan Sorsogon, we decided to put off the plan. We just went to Olango beach instead.

Summer is now in full swing here in the Philippines. And again, I am now dreaming of walking and lying on the very fine, pinkish white sand of Subic Beach. Locals refer to it as Sorsogon’s Little Boracay. The big difference though between Subic Beach and Boracay is that the former remains untouched by commercial tourism. That means no crowded resorts – only paradise yet to be discovered. It truly is a perfect place for those who want to experience the beauty and calmness of nature.

Here are other pics that I guess will help explain why I so love to go to this place:

Fabulous Pink Car

It's been eight days since I last updated my auto blog. And while looking for something to write about, I find myself stuck in the blog of a Lebanese guy which talks about the car shows he went to. I don't think this topic would fit in my auto blog, so I ended up updating this blog instead.

What draws my attention to that site is this incredible pink car, which I’m sure, will drive many women (especially my pinkistah friend, Talie) crazy. The author said he saw this car in an auto show in France.



The specs and features of this cool car aren’t revealed on the blog, but by merely looking at the picture, one can conclude that it will be a certified head-turner on the road. Oh well, this ride is by far the hottest pink car I’ve ever seen.

Baguio Strawberries

Had tasted fresh Baguio strawberries last weekend when we went to Baguio for the Panagbenga ’09. Yeah, they taste sooo good. Some said ‘tis best to eat them with sugar but I prefer salt. You can even eat them without sugar or salt because freshly-picked strawberries are so yummy even without these condiments.

We went to the Strawberry farm at La Trinidad just before we left Benguet. Since we don’t have time to pick strawberries, we opted to buy from the strawberry vendors nearby. I bought ¾ kg. small strawberries for only 40 pesos! Almost half of the strawberries I bought were “under-ripe” so when I reached home, they were just right. My cousin and my Aunt just didn’t stop eating until the box is empty.

Just a tip: During your travel, do not put heavy object on top your box of fresh strawberries.

And oh by the way, we’ve been to a lot of “pasalubong” stalls (at PMA, Botanical garden, Baguio public market, Mines view, Burnham). If you want the cheapest, buy from the stores along the strawberry farm. The quality and design of the items are just the same, but the difference in prices is very noticeable. It pays a lot to shop around first because the prices vary from one store to another.

AND NOW...

You realize that no matter how tightly you hold,
if you're meant to let go, you can

And then you will understand that love
gives you reasons to understand
even the most complicated situations

And you will grow older believing that just
because you have convictions
doesn't mean you're always right

You will remember lips because of the smiles
that made your day,
the words that touched your soul, not only
because of the sweet kisses

And as you graciously accept defeat and absorb
the meaning of lessons learned,

You feel that you are finally being the person
you never thought you'd be

So, armed with courage, strength and confidence,
you will face the world head on...

With or without an army behind you

Because you know your worth and that alone is an
armor

With more heartbreaks you will cry.
But after every heartache, you will rise.

Life is a garden ... it takes long to make it
beautiful.

But it's always worth the wait.
