The Haven

Thought for the night # 12

Bohol Escapade 2016 It is indeed a promising thought to visit Bohol where one of my closest friends lived there for almost seven years. For almost three years of serving the government industry and managing my time to visit other places, Bohol is not really on top of my list. However, just last summer of  May 2, 2016, my opportunity arrived with an inclusion of free accommodation set up by my friend for as my birthday gift. Alone, for the second time around, I took the afternoon trip going to Tagbilaran City, the main city of Bohol. I spent two hours watching the sea view.  On  my first step to Bohol, I made  a spectacular  picture blasts  to document my bountiful escapades. Here are my clippings :

                  Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach : The Woman with the Heart              Everyone dreams something big. But not everyone pushes hard to the end till that dream be achieved. And this line hits a million times when a woman stands out from the Miss Universe Pageant 2015 representing the country, Philippines. Who could ever forget her name? I am referring to this only woman who amidst all, stands and shines. She's no other than, Miss Pia Wurtzbach, the confidently beautiful Filipina woman with the heart.  "She shines like a star that the universe conspires on her huge dream- to give hope to the Universe".             Though her reign was the most controversial one in the entire history of the Miss U's Pageant, still her great example inspires numerous hopeless and hopeful Filipinos to live by the classic life's principle, the "Try  and try until you s...

                      THE  TRUE TESTIMONY OF FACESSISM This I dedicate to all my friends at Facebook.com. I love you folks.I am inspired by you solely.                                       I am  Narcissa,the proud daughter of Narcissus. I love my self and nothing but ME alone. I crave to take different poses just to steal your eyes in the Newsfeed. I stalk your life by seeing your timeline and compare it with mine. I am a loner thus I pretend to be not alone by saying, " wacky, wacky,pag may time" with friends.  I am a fighter 'cause  I  faced the dungeon  thinking  you might be entertained. I am a coward. It seems to be my specialty. I talk, you talk,we talk.Just talk in FB. After  all, we never see each other anyway, who cares? What's my status?What's the updates? You are  ...

A Story to Live By I'm not sure what others would have done had they known that they wouldn't be here for the tomorrow that we all take for granted. It is those little things left undone that  would make me angry If I knew my  hours are limited. Angry bec. I hadn't written certain letters that I intended to write " one of these days". Angry and sorry that I didn't tell my parents often enough how much I truly love them. I'm trying very hard  not to putt off, hold back, or save anything that would add  laughter and luster to my life and others' lives. And every morning when i open my eyes I tell myself that it is special everyday, every minute, every breath truly is a gift from GOD.

The Alchemist by  Paulo Coelho         Dreams, symbols, signs, and adventure follow the reader like echoes of ancient wise voices in "The Alchemist", a novel that combines an atmosphere of Medieval mysticism with the song of the desert. With this symbolic masterpiece Coelho states that we should not avoid our destinies, and urges people to follow their dreams, because to find our "Personal Myth" and our mission on Earth is the way to find "God", meaning happiness, fulfillment, and the ultimate purpose of creation.    The novel tells the tale of Santiago, a boy who has a dream and the courage to follow it. After listening to "the signs" the boy ventures in his personal, Ulysses-like journey of exploration and self-discovery, symbolically searching for a hidden treasure located near the pyramids in Egypt.    When he decides to go, his father's only advice is "Travel the world until you see that our castle is the ...
