Daet, Camarines Norte


Daet is the capital town of the province of Camarines Norte, Philippines. This is where Bicol Region (Region V) begins. The town is quite industrialized though the feel of the province is still there. And nearby towns are mostly in agricultural land.

Most of my father side relatives live here. Since all my life I have been only living in the southern part of the Philippines, I was really glad to visit this place. The sad part was I got to visit to be in my grandfather’s twins’ funeral. I hope next time; I can visit for a vacation.
How to get here:

By Land: From Manila, take bus bound for Daet. Fare is around 700 pesos and travel time is about 8 hours via Quezon Province.

By Air: The nearest commercial airport is in Naga, Camarines Sur. From Manila, take and 40-minute plane ride to Naga. Take a bus, fare is around 140 pesos, or public van with fare around 190 pesos to Daet, travel time is 2 hours.

Heaven's not a crying place...


"On earth, tears are God-given outlet for the pain that we experience, but heaven's not a crying place. It's a God promise."

Compassionate 2014!!!


How good it is to know we have a great God who walks beside us every day. Thank you, Father, for Your faithfulness to me this past year. You truly are faithful to fulfill Your promises. I look to You for all I need. And I am praying that all the people I encounter will always remember how You blessed them with Your unconditional love. 

Ready for a better 2014. Happy New Year!

Kapatagan Davao del Sur


Kapatagan Digos Davao del Sur: Cold Heaven

Sunrise at Lake Mirror
City life will drain you down to the level wherein fresh air is impossible to breathe; preoccupied with work and close to impossible sleep. Working hard never requires you to be worn out of the nicest place around.

When I thought of going to Kapatagan Davao del Sur, I was just thinking of the sunset and the sunrise, but I was blessed enough to see the grandeur of His creations and embrace breathtaking adventure of which I need to face. Well, I just shout out loud my fear of heights…I was literally shaking but I managed to laugh and shout, THANKS MUCH, This is LIFE, rock it on!
