God's Loving Touch

Sometimes I ask myself. Why God let me experience pain?

a Catholic Missionary I met in our village,  told me that God doesn't want us to be in pain. Anything that is painful is due to our sins.

God's trying to push me to my limit (a limit that only I created) and snatch me from mediocrity. It's painful because I resist God's will. The process of moving on is not that easy. But, Why should I fear changes and goodbyes if these things are for my own good?

I was so stupid neglecting Gods "loving touch". I didn't realize that it is a purifying Pain. The pain of Love. Like a parent who cares for his/her child. After all, GOD is concerned about me and He cares.

Why do I love teaching English?

Image
           Teaching English is a booming business. Many English Academies sprung up in the many parts of the archipelago. No wonder many are attracted to this promising career – thought our teachers in school tell us that no one gets rich in teaching. My friend who is a nurse told me that, if she had known that English teacher will be in demand, she would have taken education, not nursing.            Skyrocketing unemployment rate in the Philippines urges some to try this job even though, teaching is not really their profession, e.g. Nurses, Engineers, Tourism, etc. Maybe for some, teaching English and being an English teacher is a good chance to earn a decent salary.            I have been teaching English for over two years now and I can say that I love my work. It’s not the alluring income plus the bonus of meeting foreigners that keep me in this kind of job. Although I must admit that I need money but it never becomes my ONLY motivation to stay. Ever since, I

A Day in the Museum (Art in Island Adventure)

Image
I have been seeing pictures and the place Art in Island has been so famous lately.  I can't believe my eyes the first time I saw a shot taken from this place, though I know 3D Museum has been around for quite sometime now, however I was not aware that we have one here in the Philippines. Art in island is a 3D art museum in the Philippines and the largest of its kind in Asia. It is located on 175 15th Ave., Brgy. Socorro, Cubao, Quezon City Imagine my euphoria knowing that I didn't need to travel to Korea and spend tons of money just to experience a similar place called   Trick Eye Museum (트릭아이미술관) .  Art In Island is open from Tuesdays to Sundays, 9:30am to 9:30pm and close on Mondays but open on holidays. . Upon knowing this, I contacted my friends and asked them over to check this awesome place. My friends and I would come from different places in Manila. One would come from Pasig and the other one from Marikina - I'm currently staying near Kati

Dominican Hill, Baguio

Image
In November when the days are short and the night seems endless, stories of hauntings and ghostly apparitions are the popular stories among the circles of conversation. Baguio City would top the list of featured most haunted places. It was February when with three other friends I visited Baguio to witness its annual flower festival - the Penagbenga. The coldest time in Baguio often falls on this month. The city of pines - as it is often called because of its tall old pine trees, seems to be blanketed in eternal fog and gloomy semi-darkness caused by the overcast sky. This just made the city on the mountain a perfect setting for good Halloween stories like of those from classic Hollywood horror films which I love watching as I slouch lazily on the sofa. This was our first time seeing the colorful floats of Penagbenga. We just love the company of one another; we were all exuberant. We planned to visit as many popular places in Baguio as the time permitted - since we were al
