Sunrise Trail Hike at Masungi Georeserve: An Empowering and Meaningful Birthday Celebration

-

Since I was a child, as soon as June approaches, I feel thrilled because it's my birth month. I don't eagerly anticipate gifts, but rather the greetings from family and friends. It brings me joy. I am easily pleased. It doesn't take much to make me happy. Whenever I am asked what I want for my birthday, my usual response is "nothing" or "I don't know; I can't think of anything I want or need." I am not materialistic. I am happy. I am healthy. I am blessed with family and true friends. Feeling ko nasa akin na ang lahat and I prefer inner peace. Fancy that! Haha. I find more joy in giving, whether to family, friends, or even strangers. But this time, I said, "Lord, can I give myself a gift this time?" Since a retreat in Batulao is not possible yet, I scheduled a day for myself for a pampering session at the mall. I want to have a massage, facial, manicure/pedicure. I simply wish to unwind and disconnect from the online world for an entire...

When the Visit Might Be the Last

-

I traveled for an hour to get to their house. All the way there, I kept thinking: What should I say? What should I do? How should I act? This was the first time I visited someone I love, knowing it might be the very last time we could talk.

She is at home now, lying in her room. She can hardly move and can barely speak. It felt heavy and quiet when I walked in, nothing like a busy place, just her room full of familiar things.

When she saw me, she turned her head slowly and gave a weak smile. I forgot everything I planned to say. I felt unsure and sad. We didn’t talk much. Her voice was very soft, and moving was hard for her. Mostly I sat near her and held her hand. 

Then I leaned close so she could hear me. I thanked her for all she taught me, for caring, for loving me and my family and for always being there. Then I said clearly: “I love you.”

Her fingers pressed lightly back, just enough that I knew she understood.

Leaving hurt. My chest still feels heavy knowing her time is short. But I am glad I went. I traveled an hour, stayed by her side, and spoke what was in my heart. Even if this was the last time. Saying thank you and I love you was enough. ~ 061426

“ No elegance is possible without perfume. It is the unseen, unforgettable, ultimate accessory.” – Coco Chanel Have you found your ultimate accessory? I found mine but it's too pricey. Good thing I found a perfume with almost the same scent, but economical that can stay from 4 hours up to 8hours! Eight (8) hours because it offers a 20-30% percent concentration of oils, Perfume Dessert. Perfume dessert is guaranteed 100% from the U.K. No fakes! You can check it by the first 3 digits of the barcode, they do indicate the country in which the company is based, or the manufacturing company is headquartered, its first 3 digit is 506, and U.K's barcode is from 500-509. I like almost all their scents, but among all their perfumes, I love the Peach Bourbon Posicle the most it's like their version of Victoria's Secret's Love Spell. For a sexy touch of scent, this one is a must-have! It has a sweet subtle scent which enhances my natural smell. It may b...
