A birthday wish

Every year, one has the opportunity to blow a birthday candle or candles and make a birthday wish. May it be tradition, practice, or even just for the thought of it for some.

It has been a tradition for ( i think) everyone I know so far to blow a birthday candle and make a wish during their birthday. I for one have been doing this every single year I celebrate the day of my birth. I'm actually not quite sure as to why I've been accustomed to this and to what exact purpose I've been practicing this, force of habit I presume.

But what ever reason there may be, candle or no candle, wish or no wish, i still hope and pray for something on my annual birth anniversary. Other "wishes" actually have already come true, it took some time realizing for some though.

I would be 26 this 8th of October, and I only have one "wish" for my birthday.

It's not something tangible, nor something that another person can give me. I don't wish for something to be of my possession nor something earthly. I've actually never even "wished" for something material all my life. Usually I'd go for something like "good health", "safety", "love"... you know how the list goes, but this time it's different.

My only "wish" for this year is to be able to go back to where we all should. To where there is a promise given to me and would be fulfilled without fail. I wish for ONE THING, I wish to do the one thing that I can feel has been pushing my heart away from where I'm standing today...to offer my life and serve God...

The Golden Apple

A view of Souk al Bahar and Burj al Arab Henna tattoo inside a tent in the dessert The land of gold and henna, Dubai has been one of the most famous vacation spots for tourists and job destinations for expatriates alike. A stranger once told me that Dubai is “the New York of the Middle East”. Little had I known that there would be a lot of truth into that, of course I was still a newbie in this Emirate at that time. Burj Khalifa Culture and innovation clashed and gave birth to this fusion called “Dubai”. In no other place will you ever find the old and new collide and help each other grow in their individual aspects, indeed a unique mix of the antiquated with the contemporary. Monstrous structures with peculiar, yet very beautiful, architectural designs seem to have had an outbreak all over this city. The tallest structure (the Burj Khalifa), the only “seven-star” hotel in the world (the Burj al Arab) and the man-made islands (the Palm Islands) are only some among

Three Meals a Day

Image
Waking up to the smell of breakfast is one of the main things that make me rise up from a night's sleep early in the morning, yes it is more effective than any alarm clock. Freshly cooked eggs and meat, the aroma of newly prepared hot coffee, and crisp toasts give me a slight tinge of excitement. Little me and sister This is like me as a child. Carefully taken care of at home, like breakfast prepared by a loving mother. Same as how the enticing aroma of breakfast would tickle my senses, everything, from minute things to gigantic creatures and structures would excite me as a child. Curiosity was my best friend, and luckily, I have a father who’s eager in teaching me and my other siblings about life, prudently preparing his delicate little daughters for the real world. Lunch, usually eaten in schools or at work, is the second major meal of the day. Some mothers would prepare their children’s lunch and have them packed while some would prefer to have their children buy them

The Hidden Beauty of Sipalay

We were in search of the perfect place where we could take a breather when my sister and I arrived from Dubai for our vacation. It had to be somewhere quiet and away from the busyness of the city. It also had to have white sands and clear crystal waters. Most of all, it had to be somewhere not that far as we only had literally two days to spare since my sister only had fourteen days to spend here in the Philippines and we had to be back in Bacolod in time for our little sister's graduation.  Ride to Sipalay So after tedious research on possible places, and vigorous calls and text messaging to possible resorts to stay at, we ended up with the best option...Sipalay. Reaching there would only take us less than four hours, we could take our own car since it's in the same province, and we could also have a little look at the other scenery around the other cities and towns on the way there. And so the fun begins... Scenery on the way to Sipalay Althoug
