Travel

Whenever I am thinking about the things that make me happy, I always write in my priority list is traveling. I love to see the world, explore different cultures, speak foreign languages and experience new adventures because the experience thrills me. Thus, it fulfils my dream, it inspires me and most importantly, it opens my heart and soul in every single time because it gives me new ideas, new adventure, new outlook in life and new life to live with.

 

I like experiencing things for the first time whether trying new cuisine, capturing architecture with the click of my camera or perhaps, experiencing of being me!

 

I always work hard to produce best output that I can do, but of course, I have to deal with the best equation between the corporate world and normal-life-world.

 

If I am not free to travel long distance, I shall make a way to jazz up my day to see things with a new perspective.

 

Happy traveling on the road!!!

People who travel end up wiser and happier at the end of their lives.

Reflection & Throwback Tuesday - 2013 Year End Special

Enjoyable Recollection

 

The 31st of December is the oldest and last day of the year. Many of us are busy preparing to send-off the year 2013 and say hello to new year 2014.

 

I believe that today is the best time to look back and reminisce the past 1 year because this will help us evaluate our accomplishment and failures. Consequently, this is the best time to give thanks to our Heavenly Father. This year, I achieve several milestones although it wasn't easy because I was like in a roller coaster ride but I am very pleased with the outcome of my few projects. I am very thankful because I received so many blessings. 

Getting sufficient exercise regularly is also my of my goals this year and it balances my lifestyle. Indeed, I was also able to participate with different running events here in Singapore like;

01 Go Green

02 NTUC Run

03 JP Morgan

04 Sundown Marathon

05 Pocari Sweat

06 Passion Fun Run

07 Against Cancer

08 Adidas King of the Road

09  Love Your Heart Run

10 Run in the Park

I was able to visit several places in Malaysia with my new friends. I also visited my parents, old friends and relatives in the Philippines

At the end of my journey for this year, let me share with you my Top 13 OST.

According to anonymous writer, happiness can only be achieved if there is a balance between the physical, the mental, the spiritual and the social/emotional.

"Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm & harmony."

 Thomas Merton.

"If you want something done, do it hard, do it well. Don’t pussyfoot. Don't pander. And don't say bad words in public."

Gloria Macapagal Arroyo

I would like to thank God for giving me blessings and I would like to give thanks to those who supported me in my endeavour.

Lavender Farm @ Genting Highland

According to Encyclopaedia Britannica, lavender is any plant of the genus Lavandula that comprises about thirty species of the mint family Lamiaceae, native to countries bordering on the Mediterranean. The English lavender (angustifolia or officinalis) is cultivated widely for its essential oil and for its narrow fragrant leaves and spikes of purple flowers that are dried and used in sachets. Meanwhile, the French lavender (stoechas) and (lanata) native to Spain, are also widely cultivated. The ancient Romans used lavender in their baths, and the dried flowers have long been used to scent chests and closets.

Lavender symbolizes peace, purity and tranquility. The name of this flower comes from the Latin word lavare, which means to wash. During the Roman empire, this flower is often used in both laundry and bath waters.

This flower is a national flower of Portugal.

There are always flowers for those who want to see them.
