Embarking for a new journey

There is always a time that somebody close to you will sort a journey of a lifetime. Though it will be a tough decision. But you have no right to stop her, for she is already had the decision. For were she's happy.

Finding her happiness.

A friend of mine, a very close one came up with the decision to serve the almighty one,in the highest position she can. And that is for being a nun. The first thing came up with my mind is why. I remember the time when we both serve  the community where we first know each other, from our home town to the city where we go both attended our college days. Until, we built our friendship. I start asking I may able to live without her, because as far as I  know she's the good adviser I ever had. Do I may able to let her go? On the day she first told me her decision. Those thought run through my mind, but didn't say anything. Who am I to stop her.
 
Tough.

Yes, it is. Its a religious practice in many catholic, that each individual may serve the Lord leading in this vocation to be a nun. She really had this thoughts for over a years of thinking. That she like to embark in this vocation.  That she is at peace and in love. That somebody is calling her. For me, as a friend I can give all the respect I can give and support. 

I have nothing to be against of whatever she decide to be. I am happy for her , for that decision.
I joined her family from the last day she will be in the outside of the community and pray that she will be okay on the vocation she choose. It was a heart melt moment that even in a second you can't stop your tears from falling. 

I know things will not be as adventurous as the past, happy and carefree as we will be. But I am in content for her because I know she is happy. 

From the day, she went inside. I never got the chance to see her since that day. Because of the work, and things happen lately. Maybe when I got home I may able to visit her in the convent.

Hoping to see you soonest.
My dearest friend

All things happen for a reason

Each one of us has its road where taking on. But not all that road are long enough to join you. This blog is one of the saddest, story in my life. Life. Though life is the most precious and wonderful gift. It is also the most painful and most vunerable gift.  It may be taken just a flick of a hand or just a wink of the eye. December last year 2016, the father of my boyfriend died. Sadly, he was diagnose with a stage 4 lung cancer last end of November. I can't imagine even to my self to be in that situation as my boyfriend. When I heard the news that night, I can't help to think of my father as well.  That I am not ready to be in that situation. Maybe life has its reason or maybe a limit itself. Maybe God has a reason. But why. Why now. I start asking questions and realization that life is a precious gift it maybe short or long enough to enjoy it. I feel sorry for myself for taking it for granted. It made me realize that life is short no matter what. Age is just a number...

After Decade of Waiting

Its been years since we were planting  grapes at our house but the harvest a bit small. Amazing it is even though we experience drought this year still we get see this fruit. On my way to work this morning . while taking my  stroll I saw this grapes and waiting to ripe. It's my first time seeing this lots of  fruits compare to last year harvest is a bit small compare to this one. Amaze of what I saw, as a remembrance I took a pictures of them. So happy to have this fruitful harvest this year. Hope we can taste the ripe one of this grapes.

A need for a shift

We all fall down but we need to stand up. Financially unstable. Reality check we always go through with this if not then you don't live a life to the fullest or you're just damn rich. On the last days of January I quit my job. Then started a new one, on the second week of February. Yes, luckily found a new one after my resignation.  Maybe this was my another chance to stand specially on my career. Loving this photograph. My first sunset on my new job.
