Bantayan is it!

Dreams do come true. My bantayan dream has come true. Thank you Lord.
Its a nice feeling being able to embrace God's creation, to think that He really created this for me to enjoy. Im must be His very special creation.

How to get to Bantayan:

1. From Cagayan de oro city; you have two options, first is the plane, a much faster way or like me, I chose the boat which was a regret coz I was 8 hours delayed due to boat technical problems. So next time  I promised myself to take the plane instead.

2. From the port took the taxi to the North bus which was a few minutes away. I took the V-hire going to bogo instead coz its more convenient and the travel is not disrupted by passengers asking to stop for a ride. It takes shorter time with the vhire than the bus. At bogo point we took the tricycle to hagnaya port for 25 pesos each.

3. Its 170 pesos each for the ferry ride to bantayan.

4. Once in bantayan you can hire pump boat to virgin island and the boat rental is from 1200 to 2000 php, we were lucky, we got the 1500 complete with snorkelling gear and a very kind boatman. The virgin island is a must see place if you are in bantayan , its perfect, amazingly breath taking you wont stop swimming.

Remembering Sir Boyet

Bye Sir Boyet

Life is like a thief in the night. The third death here in our office. Another loss. Another person to miss. Its for real. One day I will also die. We will all die and we have each have own time.  Cancer of the colon, the third cancer case here, maybe this kind of disease is that common. What ever the case maybe, we all die. With a disease or without, young or old, rich and poor. Death is certain. And though the knowledge is there that we will die, still we want to live, we dont want to die.
Why do we die?
Because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. And we are all helpless and cannot do anything to be saved. We need Jesus , He died for our sins, and if we accept Him as our Lord and savior we will be saved, just as He has promised. We will have eternal life.

Bye sir boyet.
Your family is our family also, we will be there for you family. We will support each other.

If Tomorrow Starts Without Me
Author believed to be
David Romano

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
all filled with tears for me,

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had

If I could re-live yesterday
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne.

He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today your life on earth is past,
But here life starts anew

I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past.

You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times
You did some things
You knew you shouldn't do.

But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you come and take my hand
And share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.

Summer is almost over

Summer is almost over and I cant imagine my summer to end just like this.
No summer outing.
No beach outing.
No out of town activities.
Sigh.
I went to our local beach and its not that fascinating.
Its below the normal. But still many enjoyed, while me, I just sat there and dreamed something grand, with the white sand and etc....
raagas beach resort local resort in cagayan de oro

need to really call it summer
 But I have not lost hope. I still have may to enjoy and I will catch up and enjoy my summer.
Its never too late.
Im hoping I could visit bantayan late this may. 
My eyes fixed on the day i will set foot that amazing island.
Im excited and I cant wait.
Tick tock tick tock the clock, the days dragged and its running slow.
Im getting ready, I have packed my bag, just packed lightly. I dont need much stuff in an island.Just myself, my tablet, my charger and my phone. A few clothes for the late summer get away and my summer essentials.

You are so faithful

Verse 1:
Like the sun that rises everyday,
You are so faithful. Lord, You are faithful.
Like the rain that You send,
And every breath that I breathe,
You are so faithful, Lord

Verse 2:
Like the rose that comes alive every spring,
You are so faithful. Lord, You are faithful.
Like the life that You give,
to every beat of my heart,
You are so faithful, Lord.


PreChorus:
I see the cross and the price You had to pay,
I see the blood that washed my sins away.

Chorus:
In the midst of the storm
through the wind and the waves,
You'll still be faithful, You'll still be faithful,
When the stars refuse to shine and time is no more,
You'll still be faithful,
You'll still be faithful, Lord.

Held by love

We have a gift for you-
just a simple nail.

However you will never be able to use it for the purpose that it was intended. It will never join two pieces of wood or fasten a picture to a wall. This nail will probably never be hammered by you – we don’t think anyone could bring themselves to do it. Not this particular nail. Let this nail, instead, serve as a reminder each time you find it again. That you matter to someone. If you ever doubt your worth or value, if you ever doubt that you are loved. Hold this nail just for a moment and reflect. God so loved the world that He gave His only Son... while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Believe and remember. How much you hurt or how much you suffer, you are loved. Never forget that Jesus was held on the cross not by nails but by LOVE...

the finished product; The nail Bookmark
Im glad I was able to resume making this cute book mark.  It was last year that I made these and now I resumed and I have a goal. I plan to make as many as I could. I plan to give these to my officemates, ojt here in the office and plan also to give it to my friends and also give it to relatives when I go home to cebu. I hope I can make as many as I could. I need help in making these bookmarks and I pray that my house mates will help.
