Day 26: Dream Come True (A Photo of Somewhere You Have Been Too)

Church of the Angry Christ

It was a dream come true.

Last June my attorney/bf and I went to Bacolod. If there is one place in this country that I would really love to visit, Bacolod had my heart. From the time I saw this in a Lonely Planet episode on the Discovery Channel, I have been possesed with the thought of actually seeing it in person. And yes I did.

The mural of the Angry Christ for me symbolizes that the Lord is just human afterall. That He can be angry. That He is real. My discovery of this mural came at the time I was questioning my faith and my religion. I have strengthen my faith with the Lord now. Religion-wise, I pray wherever and whenever.

I love to go back and see the mural again. Will probably bring my kids here too.

Bacolod is my happy place!:)

Day 5: All Over Again (Photo of Yourself from Two Years Ago)

Cool tricycle in Davao:)

The photo was taken on my first business trip at my first job from two years ago. Having ended my dream of becoming a lawyer, I was blessed to have found a job right away in an industry that I want to develop a career at. It is just a starting job but nevertheless I have gained a lot from it.

Now I know how to work (it is indeed tough to adjust how to work from just being a student), inching my way to an officer position and trying my luck at graduate school. Much has happened both in my personal life as well as my career.

It is still a long shot from what I would like to do for my career but I am keeping faith and an open mind. In the end everything will pan out. You just need to do your part in trying to achieve things. :)

Can't Complain

It has been busy days for me both at work and personal life.

It has become a bit crazy that I now crave some serious down time, like perhaps a trip to the beach or a foreign destination. Or maybe as simple as a day to myself without any worries about how things will be. These are the days that I daydream about Bacolod and Cambodia and how laid back those two places are.

At times when my schedule is hectic, I reminisce of the days we are travelling back and forth Cambodia on a bus, with the endless road and the time in my hands to just think about anything I want to and enjoy the view. I really like road trips, it makes me calm. It is on these days that I wish I could just go to Laiya and drink beer from noon till night time, swim at the beach then sleep in early for 12hrs straight. Such is the life I so badly want right now.

But who am I to complain? Who am I to not want to get busy? Life is about living anyway and being busy meant like it somehow. I am just thankful about the learning I gain in spite of being tired from all the things I am involved right now.

I still have my day dreams to keep me sane. :) Bring it on!:)
