060708! \o/

It's been a year now, since I've been gone from my home country Philippines. Being far away from home, as in literally far...not just a 1o hours drive or an hour flight. Thanks to all these social media (facebook, blogs, twitter) and this "techno world"... it ease out our longings for our families and friends.

How is it going? Well, it's tough to be physically out of sight from your family and friends, the proximity of being with them. Another thing, which the one that I find hard the most, is to give up the comfort zone that you used to for a long time. The bliss of being used to everything that you have been doing. It's quite a challenge...everything is quite different ...culturally and the way of life ... and it's indeed a dare.

A year fast now... and really looking forward to a different kind of experience... a year in a new environment was really a rewarding experience for me...did I ever questioned myself of having this change nope...is it easy ...nope ...but I want to keep going and continue believing rather doubting why I took this change. :) It gives me a sense of great conviction that God has something planned for me and for all of us where ever we may go...the different season also fires me up of looking forward to a new day and opportunities. :) Enjoying every single new big and small experiences along this ride.

so... let me continue the counting...:) 06...07...08...09...:) for those who are curious of this number that's June 07, 2008...\o/

Busy days...means busyness or business?!

Let's see if my busyness is equal to business. Whatever it takes, busy for me is something to be thankful. :) Wondering why? ... if we have something to do, that means we're not idle or lazy. An opportunity for us to keep moving. But for some busy for them is just an excuse to something, like not calling a loved one, friend or a missed occasion. :) Let me recall how's my "busyness" for the past weeks. Had a great time in Ohio, what a long drive!, long drive is sometimes great if you're just the passenger lol! You have time to look around, think while napping ( how's is it possible? lol) well, it's possible for me...it's just like day dreaming! :). A time to appreciate the quietness of the green surroundings that we passed by and just merely a get away. My online course in Open Education is almost over. Collaborating with people around the globe with same interest is amazing. Exploring the many possibilities of this new learning culture. Defi...

Halloween, Undas or All Souls/Saints Day!

Back in the Philippines , we’re not used to celebrating Halloween like here in the US, where people wear costumes, decorates their houses with Halloween stuff and kids go trick or treating; and every household prepare candies.:) Though, there are some in the Philippines celebrate Halloween, but it’s not very common to us Filipinos. We celebrate this event by remembering our dead loved ones. We usually call it Undas is the Filipinized version of All Saints/Souls Day. This is a national celebration, a time of year where for most of us Filipinos consider as Family reunion. :) We like family gatherings. :) We often go to the cemetery and clean the graveyards and paint the tombs of our loved ones, also we offer prayers, flowers and prayers. Like me, I've always look forward to this celebration, being with the whole family, to take time of from work, especially with people who work far away from home, this is a great opportunity for them to visit family and definitely enjoy famil...
