August 24,2021 was the saddest day of our lives - the Sedoripas.....😪😥💔

Papa's younger brother died due to Covid - 19. It was so painful that he died that way and much more painful when we cannot pay our last respect to him. He needs to be buried right away 😭😭😭

We cannot contain our emotions because we never anticipated this kind of event. My heart is devastated seeing my Tiya and her children suffered. Their Family was so close knit. As in, I  see them together and happy. They lived a simple life and their happiness is just based on little things and most importantly, being together. And now, this things happen... It will never be the same again.

 I could recall, how  we lost our Mom 20 years ago due to a lung disease. Because of her passing, We never celebrated Christmas on that same year and so with our Annual Fiesta the following year. Day by day, how I wished my Mom is still alive and be with us. But, that could never  happen. Her memories will live forever.

This pandemic is no joke, it hit people left and right. Our weapons are vaccination, follow safety protocols and most importantly, our Faith in God. Prayer works, God is our salvation.

I am hoping and praying that this too will pass and no more covid variants will arise. Together, let us all pray that everything will be fine and alright and go back to normal. Let us heal as one ♥ 

Lake Danao - Ormoc

Ormoc City's pride - Lake Danao ♥♥♥

Lake Danao is a guitar-shaped lake on the island of Leyte in the Philippines. The lake is covering an area of 148 hectares. It is situated in the 2,193 hectares Lake Danao Natural Park, which also includes the Amandiwin mountain range.taken from Wikipedia 

The lake is situated maybe around 19kms away from the city and when I was younger, our elders won't allow us to visit or swim there because of an urban legend that the lake was very deep and no one can ever measure it. also there was a big fish in the lake, as big as a Jeepney daw  😊

I was residing more or less 10kms from the lake. the transportation before was very difficult and the road was so rough. It is good now that the road is concrete as in it is so accessible and easy to go there. 

Ormocanons and visitors can now enjoy Lake Danao with its floating cottages. But since it is pandemic, most of the time, the lake is close for security purposes.

Pictures shown were taken just this year when it was re opened. Our Family loves going there because of the very cold weather perfect for relaxation and bonding. 

Hi Everyone!

It's been a while:)  well, it was so long since I posted here.

I really have so many things to blog when I am not here and now that I am here, my mind is empty :) and I really don't know where to start. 

well anyway, Vlogging is the new trend, but I kept my blog. I don't have yet the courage to create one and  I prefer to write even if I am not really good at it :) and also, I don't have a content yet.

When I started blogging, I just wanted to write something even if I know it doesn't interest anyone :) I only have few followers and to be honest, I am so scared and ashamed because writing is not my forte and it needs to have guts and talent to be here.

I just wanted everyone to know and wish all of us well in this current crisis that we are facing. Keep safe  and we can get through this with prayers and faith.....

STI Ormoc ~ Cebu Invasion 2016

Last January 11-13,2016, STI College Ormoc 3rd year BSIT students had their NYC ( National Youth COnvention ) and Company visit at the QUeen City of the South, Cebu City. It was a great experienced among the BSIT Students since they were able to visit big IT companies such as Accenture, Kyocera and Lexmark plus sidetrips on the big malls of Cebu as well as seen land marks and the prestigious school University of San Carlos which by the way is my alma mater :).

We were able to meet and greet our Successful Alumni

Life is indeed a constant change……. I've been through a lot but it is my choice, no one influenced me. I made my own decision but a long the way I am always hurt…. Many times my hubby cheated on me but being a wife, I accepted him always for I don’t know really the reason. Maybe it is because I am scared to lose me, or is it because I love him or maybe I just wanted to show the third party that “hey I am the wife, he is mine”. These maybe my reasons but I cannot figure out which is which or maybe all of the above. The last time we fight, I realized how stupid I am to stick with the person who never cared me at all. Love is no longer there so maybe I should move on and be strong enough not to accept him this time. I change my ways, before, I run after him but now I swear to use my head instead of my heart. And I think I am on the right track. I too learned to tame my mouth and emotions this time because the more I talk and explain the more I comprehend my wanting for him. Stupidity is really in me but I must learn to let go of it. I know somehow, somewhere there is someone waiting for me or maybe he is just there watching me everyday. But my top priority now is my self and my son. I must reconstruct my life and live with it. I've been hurt many times by this person and yet he never showed any changes. It keeps on getting worsen each day. I don’t deserve this, I deserve better. He is not the end of my world. Reality bites but I don’t wanna prolong my agony. People laugh at me many times but I didn’t care coz what I believe is what I do. But this time, I must learn to include in my decisions what other people might say about me. I don’t wanna be blinded anymore. Enough is enough… God is my shelter and protector. Everyday I prayed to keep me away from him. I prayed too, to stick with my decisions and do what I believe in. I know no one can ever help me with my dilemma except the one up there. This I say is the biggest challenge in my life…………….

Changes in my Life!

It's been four months now since I leveled - up and my life is never been the same again...

New challenges which I enjoyed to the fullest and grateful to those people who made these things happened to me.

It made me smiles, as I recall and assessed how I am being in this new position. I feel intimated to my superiors and it makes me shiver everytime I have business with them. Our school is implementing SEP ( Speak English Policy )but when I spoke to them my tongue are tied and I cannot collect my thoughts correctly :)

Though I received good comments from our students and colleagues but I know I still have so many things to improve and change. I want to share what I have and unleash my potentials and capabilities to the highest level.

I admire our Administrator, Ms. Maricel Ngo. First of all, because of her articulateness, I feel everytime she speaks, she can get the attention of the audience. Second, for being tactful and for me that is her strongest asset. I respect her so much and I do not want to fail her expectations towards me.

I also admire, the Lucero's ( owner of STI - Ormoc ) for being simple and open minded. They are always ready and open for new ideas and very supportive.

But in every good things comes obstacles and predicaments which I anticipated.I wish everything would be fine and alright under my term as an Academic Head.I know there is no such thing as " perfect environment" but I am hopeful that whatever difficulty I am facing or we are facing it will dilapidated soon and all of us will wear our smiles to each other with no bitterness.

Thank God, we are still normal!

Hanginan!

Me with my family and in - laws decided to have a holy week adventure.So we went to "Hanginan" in Southern Leyte last April 22, 2011. It is where the shrine of St. Francisco Javier is located. Many town folks said that going to this place with your wishes,will come true. It is actually a very challenging exploration because the terrain going there is very difficult. Just imagine you are about to climb Mt. Everest in going there. The Shrine is situated at the top of the mountain and the only medium that can be use is your own feet. As I scrambled, I realized that maybe God will forgive me with all the sins I had and have done because it is really a sacrifice in going there. We started walking / climbing at around 3am and we reached the chapel / shrine after three hours.Going up is very tiring but going down is much painful because my feet were already starting to shake plus you have to exert force in going down. But as I look my 10 yr old son, he was very okay and he never felt tired or anything. Ang sarap talaga maging bata and that's what i remembered with my mom before.She always said that being young , you will never feel tired or exhausted and that's true enough.
As I pondered if I will still be doing this again next year, at first I was hesitant because until now my feet is still hurt but as I look at it, it feels good that I was able to see the goodness of life. It is not about your desire to climb but more on the sacrifice in going there. It is where you can see the true meaning of the Lenten season where Jesus Christ died on the cross for us..
