Three Decades of Roller Coaster Ride

The inevitable day has finally come! Today marks my 30th birthday. Reaching the "big thirty" and still single means that I'm nearing off the calendar.  Being an only child, I guess my parents are already freaking out! hahaha.. If anyone would ask me now if I'm starting to panic that I reached 30, my answer would be both yes and no for two different reasons. Contrary to what others may feel, I'm not pressured that I'm still single at 30. Yes, I've been hurt deeply by my past relationships but I'm not bitter. I have moved on. I've just learned not to rush love at all and just wait for God's gift to come along, in His own time. It is one of the uncontrollable aspects of life and I just want to let things happen, if it's meant to happen. On the other hand, I do feel anxious about the future that at my age, I have nothing.  I have nothing in terms of investment and financial security.  It should have been attainable if I have set my goal, if I had the will and the self-discipline.  I should have made this thing happen.

Amara : More Than Just Seaside Living

Everybody has a dream place to live. For some, a city living would be ideal considering the job opportunities and the convenience a city can offer. Others would prefer living close to nature, either up in the highlands or near the sea.  For me who grew up in two cities where life is so laid-back and still close to nature, but currently living in a highly urbanized city, I would certainly love to go back to the former upon retiring from work.

When our HR manager informed us that we would be having our engineering team building at Amara in Liloan, I immediately searched for the details of the place, and I have learned that it isn't just a resort as what I thought it is when I've heard about it a few times as a good venue for wedding receptions.

Once Upon a Time in Singapore

A few weeks before my scheduled trip to Singapore, I was hesitant to go knowing I'd be traveling alone for the first time. The thought of getting lost in a foreign land gave me more of a fear than excitement, because I have no sense of direction at times. It was supposed to be a group tour with my house mates which was booked a year earlier when Cebu Pacific offered promo fares, but due to some circumstances, it turned out to be a solo tour.

Boracay Through My Senses

Being a beach and sunset lover, it's hard to decline an invitation from my cousins to have a late summer getaway to Boracay - one of the world's top destinations.  

Coming from different origins and mode of transportation, we arrived in Caticlan almost at the same time. The jetty port was crowded as expected, but queuing was never a problem since the port has already an established system.
