That 2021, this 2022!✨

-
TWENTY TWENTY ONE (2021) might not be the year I or you exactly hoped to be, but undeniably, it was still a good year which reminded us a lot of things; the things that we had been taken for granted. 
Personally, I also had my shares of pains, struggles and failures last year, but who am I to complain? I was, am, and will always be grateful to God for that year. Why? 

#1 
My family and I were fine and all of us had food to eat, water to drink, clothes to wear, and roof over our head. 

#2 
I had a job. 
There were so many people who were out of work  last year due to pandemic, but I was blessed enough to have one. 
#3
My family and I were safe from CoViD-19 and from the super typhoon Odette. 

Apart from Mama's plants and mango trees, my parent's very small store was also damaged, but that's okay. It can still be rebuilt. 
#4
I finally got my own domain. ❤️ That's why I am here having the chance to bother you with some of my stories. Hahaha 
And most of all..... 

#5 
"The one" came 😜☺️💙

I really thought I was going to be single forever. Hahaha 
TBH, I was not looking for a partner. After all I'd been through, it had been in my heart and mind already that my "life" (considered the 3rd one) given to me was enough. Bonus nlang pag may partner. 

But God's surprises are indeed endless.☺️

Who would have thought I could have a boyfriend turned fiancé  in times of pandemic?!? IT WAS SO SURREAL.🤭 
Kaya motoo na jud ko sa ila gina ingon nga love comes in mysterious ways. Charot! Wa ko ka sagang oi! Hahaha

Pero seryoso, even how hard life hits us, we must try to always see the good things in it for us to move on and be whole again; whole again to face and conquer the next challenge and to welcome the new year. 

Whaaaat? New year na naman? 😂 I'm feeling so old already. Lol 

Well, I started my new year by taking care of these three-week old puppies with my fiancé. Their mama was able to get out from the fence and hasn't been home anymore since the 29th of December.😢😢😢 
*I just give them water with powdered milk hoping they could survive. 🙏

By the way, I had this idea of not spending some money on January 1.😬 How about you? Do you have that thought, too? 💭🙃
Wala lang, naisip ko lang talaga not to start the year by spending some money.

And generally, I am not into doing stuffs like what many people do during new year's eve, such as wearing polka dots clothes, having 12 kinds of fruits on the table, etc.. But last night, I saw something on FB that I found it cute.🤭 So, I tried to make one on my own without knowing the details of that "pampa-swerte daw." hehehe

I don't know what to call this actually. Haha
Well, for me it's not about being lucky, but being blessed. And being blessed is not about how we start the year, it's how we choose to work day by day. 

Mga ka CP,  this year might still not be as smooth as we want it to be, but let's just keep the faith and continue to hope for a better and brighter 2022. 🙏 Kapit lang po tayo! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!❤️

Inandeng River

The name Inandeng is from the name of two sitios in Barangay New Agutaya, San Vicente, Palawan, where Inandeng River traverses; Inarayan and Landing. It is 2.5km long, navigatable by smalls boats and kayaks, but only 1.9km is most often navigated by the locals, particularly the fishermen in the bgy.  The end of the river meets the Long Beach, the longest white-sand beach in the Philippines.  What attract me the most about the river are the mangrove area which is believed to be one of the big help in the barangay especially during the super typhoon Odette and the coconut trees that added beauty along the wider area of the river.  Sadly, a lot of the mangrove trees in the area were devastated during the super typhoon, probably the really old ones. However, it is fortunate enough that there's enough left for the people to adore while navigating the river. The LGU-San Vicente has already a plan to develop a River Cruise in the site, where every tourist can enjoy the river and...

Bato ni Ningning

                  📸 Chuck Maquiso Trivia:  In 2015, while I was on my recovery period after my surgery, I only stayed at home for months. During those days, I got nothing else to do but read books, watch movies and for the longest time, watch TV shows.  Because of the daytime series, "Ning2x," on ABS-CBN that time, I started to wonder where they filmed the pilot episodes of the show especially the site where there's a huge rock on the top of the knoll. I found the view really lovely!  Unexpectedly,  after a year and 7 months when I could travel again, I visited my friend/colleague in San Vicente whom I hadn't seen for a long time. She told me that we were going somewhere where it was one of the shooting locations of a television show. That's all! No other clues! hahaha   Can you imagine how I felt when I saw the place I dreamed of seeing but not knowing its location? hehehe It felt so surreal! I was overjoyed. ?...

Puting Bato @Lutopan, Toledo City, Cebu

Mountain climbing is something I got interested in when I first overcame my fear of heights. But our climb to Puting Bato was an unexpected one, that we were not able to wear even a proper footwear. 👣The ascent After about a 25-minute trek from the national highway, this was still pretty okay for the knees. 👌    But then..... Surprisingly!  Still thinking of backing out or not? 😂        Go go go! 💪      We (only 3 of us) never thought the climb would be like that.       No retreat, no surrender!             💪 😅      Finally reached the peak!        Down below 👇  When you're on top, you can see the mining industry in the area, Carmen Copper Corporation (CCC).        Relaxing on top while          ...
