My 1st Time in Cebu City, Philippines

I never travel without my diary. For me, a person needs intervals to separate from family and companions and go to new places. One must go without familiars in order to be open to influences, to change. One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.

For me, all journeys have secret destinations
of which the traveler is unaware.

Travel light!

Welcome to Cebu!



Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.

Home is where the heart is, and for the moment my heart is wherever I am.

Moon meets the Sunrise

Moon meets the sunrise at 5:00 am up in the sky! Wink! ♥

A traveler's observation is like a bird with wings that sees every moment and its wonders.

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.

Before and  Now

Health is the greatest possession. 
Contentment is the greatest treasure. 
Confidence is the greatest friend.
Reunion is the greatest joy.


In between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed.


JC and Sol ~ The Young Ones!

Try not to become a man of success but a man of value

Life has no smooth road for any of us; and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps, till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfills itself.

My Mother, My Friend, and My Mentor.

My Mother was the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. All I am, I owe to my Mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.

There never was a woman like her. She was gentle as a dove and brave as a lioness. The memory of my mother and her teachings were, after all the only capital I had to start life with, and in that capital, I have made my way.

Is my mother my friend?
I would have to say, first of all, she is my Mother, with a capital 'M'; she's something sacred to me. I love her dearly. Yes, she is my 1st best-friend a good friend, someone I can talk openly with at all times if I want to.

Mother is the "Miracle of Life" nurtured by a woman who gave us love and sacrifice. Our Mother deserves the credit for raising value-based leaders who accept responsibility, who possess physical, mental, and spiritual strength, who possess courage and confidence and look with optimism to the future.

They said, "Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose."

Great Mother's help their children to recognize that they can achieve the impossible. Today is Mother's Day and I want to give you a thank you kiss but I can only remember the things I miss.

Remember that time spent with God is never wasted.
Always find time to talk to God wherever you go.
