Real tears are not those that fall
from the eyes and cover the face,
but those that fall from the heart and cover the soul.

DLM Escapade # 2

                Datu Lipus Makapandong is actually one of the resort that could be seen in our hometown. This resort was located nearly at the foot of  Mt. Diwata, the famous mountain in our place. It is my favorite escapade because the pool was supplied with fresh water  from the mountain which was very clear and cold. Aside from that, the resort charged us cheaper entrance fee so we could afford to enjoy in the place as often as we liked. Unfortunately the resort is quiet a distant away from the town but as for me and my friends , it added more exciting to the adventure.

                Before going to the place, I used to planned what to brought including my shorts, T-shirts and some personal things then followed by planning the budget that would be consumed in there. Each of us was assigned who would brought the rice, viand and drinks and after that we also set-up the time.

                The following day when things were all ready, we took a rode on a motorcycle. Along the way, we could saw the tall trees on both sides of the roads including wild flowers and animals tamed by man. We also felt the roughness and steepness going to the place. As we approached the resort, we could felt the fresh air and the cold weather underneath the heat of the sun. Then, until we all ready arrived we could saw families having their bonding moment and some  of our friends outside.

                While there, we rented a cottage good for all of us and paid the entrance fee. We arranged the food on the table while others prepared the meat that would be cooked. We talked about things in life and sometimes cracked jokes while waiting for the food to cooked. When the food  was ready all of us prayed and then enjoyed the food on the table.

                When we  were done eating, of course we then jumped into the pool and played different water games. Someone would lead the game that everyone of us could participate. After  a tiresome activities, we sat on the edge of the pool then started to sing a song. Finally, before leaving the place we took pictures which would be a sort of remembrance. We packed up the things and checked them one by one. We walked as a group until we arrived at the highway then that’s the time we took our way going to each of our homes .

My Best Asset # 1

         

               “For you what is your best asset?”, This line is usually we heard in a question and answer portion from a beauty pageant. Some would say their best asset is their eyes, nose or even their lips. It’s because each of our asset is different from others.

                God created us in his own image so therefore there’s no ugly at all. It only exists in the eye of the beholder. The only thing is that God made us uniquely to give emphasize in our different beauties we have. I sometimes thought of myself that I don’t had any qualities , I don’t even possess special skills, but one thing I realized, I had my friends. They said they like being with my company. I asked them why? And they answered me that it is because I am a good friend. I am always at their side ready to listened  whenever they have problems. Aside from that, sometimes I am also the clown of the group because I made everyone smile even though  some are not in the mood so that’s why our friendship grows stronger. It felt good when you know that there were people loved you not because you’re pretty, you’re popular or you’re the son/daughter of the President but because they love the way you are. They just don’t judged you from what they saw on you but they also consider your inner beauty. Now, I can say that my best asset is my attitude.

                Let me share you something inspirational quote taken from the book of Psalms. It says “ I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are your works, and that my soul knows very well.” You see? How God loves us very much that he created us differently but extraordinary...
