Coffee break everyone!!!

Redemption and release...

I am now sitting here inside my office recalling the series of events yesterday. It was not really a spectacular day as what I did was mainly to disinfect the office from all the bacteria and any forms of germs that actually infested my office. I got sick last monday and that was basically the reason why I had to be absent. I need to recover. I still have 4th year classes to attend to aside from my doctoral classes on weekends. A teacher and student molded in one-that is what I am. I redeemed my office...i asked for help of some friends to clean up the entire area. that includes the use of lysol, zonrox, powdered soap, a pail of water...and even an air freshener to clean up the bacteria-infested air that we keep on gasping every hour of everyday.Poor lungs! What has it done to deserve this abuse?! Now, im practically relieved from all the diseases i've been dreading...I'm actually looking forward for a brighter day ahead. No more flood please! :-)

a touch of sand

this pic was taken at panglao beach at bohol...white sand and pristine waters...this is one helluva paradise!!!

the look of innocence...

Our stay in Bohol became more meaningful when we met these innocent kids who were kind enough to reach out to us when they returned that pink cap that fell to the sea water few feet away from where we stood.

Never thought that this simple act of kindness would mean big for us.  Goodness is everywhere. It dwells  even among innocent children...

can't get enough...

When I woke up this morning, i had a melancholic way of facing the dawn of this new day. 


This day brings me to a new level of perspective...a perspective that is fresh yet nostalgic of my gloomy yet hopeful past...


the pic here was taken during my wonderful trip in bohol last May of this year 2011...


as the pic suggests, this is indeed a whole new experience with a breathtaking sight to behold...

tired yet still cute....

Life may sometimes bring us to a different level of emotions. Life may bring joy, sadness, excitement, boredom, and now evidently on my part, it brings exhaustion. Got these pics of exhausted creatures which brought a smile to my face.Enjoy these pics as much as i did.

over my dead cute body...

penny for your thoughts?

lean on me...

i wonder whose feet were those?

Miracle Water

       I got this rare opportunity to go to Dauis Church of Bohol where the famous well is exactly situated at the altar of the church.


       This well is believed to have produced a miraculous holy water which was said to heal the sick. 


        I and my friends were fortunate enough to get some and that made our day...

Musings of a traveler...

First stop at Bohol Port

a time to cross boundaries...

Got this pic from a hanging bridge in bohol with my friends...Lea and EC...

a time to conquer one's fear...

with shaking feet, i had to conquer fear of heights by walking through a quite long narrow hanging bridge in bohol...

a time to eat...earthworms??!!

i was somehow encouraged to eat earthworms at bee farm in bohol after a long tedious tour...

a time to literally reach great heights...

this is along the hotel lobby at bohol....

a time to weave...

a time to feed...

a time to ponder...

a time to smile...

a time to lean...

A time to fly...

There's a time for everything...

Blogging 101

This blogging stuff is something new to me. I actually intended to make one before as i was kinda interested with this however, time did not warrant me as i was so damn busy with work. Recently, i enrolled for my doctoral class. Our professor , Randy Gamboa, who I found really cool, got this blogging thing as a requirement where we could actually post our reflections. I thought that was really great. It awakened my dormant interest for blogging. I'm taking my first step into this whole new dimension of e-learning as our subject may suggest. E in e-learning stands for electronic learning but our professor said it's educational learning. Whatever it stands for, all I know is I'm learning from it. And if it is something new, it must be potentially engaging and interesting. I'm open to changes  because I know change may bring good or bad however we see it. This is a jumpstart to a whole new horizon of e-learning. Blogging as a start is a mere requirement for me but now i see it in a different perspective. From a sheer requirement, it turned out to be a hobby which I'm afraid will hook me positively. I just hope I have a time to update this...God bless everyone...
