My 22nd Birthday at Bahia... again!

I have always wanted to spend a whole night (and dawn) with my friends (friends only with no distractions) at the beach or at a resort. And finally, after how many years of planning a night such as that, it has come true on the eve of my birthday. What a way to celebrate my 22nd birthday! I certainly wanted to invite my friends from college but my mind was too full that time. If only I didn't have problems during those days, I would have enjoyed it so much. But I enjoyed it nevertheless. I had fun despite the things that bothered me, which my friends said was obvious even though I didn't tell them the real reason for my despair. But everything is okay now and I could only look back to the memories.

Anyways, it was actually not planned so well. At two in the afternoon, Naomi, Jay, and I decided to celebrate my birthday by spending a night at Bahia Resort Hotel located at Agus, Lapulapu City. We then went to Jen and Bes' place to invite them and called the rest of our ka-BERKS Paolo, Jojo, and Dido. After going to Mambaling, we went to Consolacion, at Naomi's place to get clothes for Naomi and at the same time ask permission from her father. From there, we went to Lapulapu, to pack things for myself.

Then it all began, Naomi, Jay, and I met Jen and Bes at Bahia and proceeded to our room. After a brief videoke session, Jojo, Paolo, and Dido arrived with two family-sized pizzas from Da Vinci. The pizzas were consumed so fast, as all of us were so hungry. We were expecting the Bahia people to serve food 24 hours but they didn't so we really had no food. We were not allowed to bring food at the resort by the way. So to ease our hunger, we ordered chips and bottles of San Mig Light and started our overnight drinking session. Hehehe....

However, the bottles of San Mig Light apparently didn't satisfy Paolo's cravings so we decided to smuggle Jollibee at Bahia. It was so fun running and hiding from the guards as if we were smuggling drugs. Hahaha... We turned off the lights and pretended to be asleep while all of us were consuming the fried chicken, spaghetti, burgers, etc... After eating, we went back swimming, and drinking, and talking again... until seven in the morning. We slept for about four hours and checked out from the resort at twelve noon. Then we had our lunch at Chowking Gaisano Mactan before going home.

Here are some of the pictures:

A Letter to Elisha Joelle Samarah

My Dearest Elisha, I promised myself that I would write about this day since the very first time I saw your cute tiny face at the Intensive Care Unit in the hospital where I delivered you. I told myself that I would chronicle the events so you would understand how great God is in your life and how you have come to be a miracle in your father and I's lives. However, I cannot tell you everything now for the story of how you came to be is too long for you to understand at the moment and too difficult for me to explain in writing. But, I'm going to try nonetheless, soon, little by little, and hopefully, the chronicles would be complete when you are old enough to comprehend. For now, let me just remember the sweetest yet the most difficult day of my life.  Your father and I did not expect you to come at that point in our lives. I, especially, wanted to achieve a lot of things and did not even think about settling down anytime soon. When I found out that I was pre...

Romans 1 is Genesis 3 Explained

Hello again! This blog became dormant again and now it’s going to have a reboot. I know that the last time this blog had a reboot way back two years ago I promised to write more often. Sorry guys, I wasn’t able to follow through with this promise due to busyness and just simply the distractions of life. This time I’m not going to promise anymore but what I’m going to do for sure is to try to write more often. Though I know, the entries would only come if and only if I cannot fight the urge to write. So here you go, I’m writing again. For those who visited this blog for the very first time, let me tell you that this actually started back when I was still in college. Back then, it was a very personal space and the things that were shared here were very personal things. So, if you try to go through the archive, you might find some things that are quite immature and some thoughts that I may or may not necessarily believe right at this moment. This was the very reason why I decide...

Dead to Sin

I have a confession to make. I sin.  That's hardly a surprise actually. All of us sin. However, the degree upon which we feel the shame and the guilt of sin vary from one person to another. Others feel a guilt so terrible that they condemn themselves while others feel sorry for what they have done but are able to shrug it off at the next moment. Probably for the most of us, we don't even realize that we have sinned.  I have learned nonetheless that there are some sins that you can easily avoid while there are others that make you struggle so hard you almost always want to give up. The sins that can be seen externally most often are the ones that are easy to overcome. But the sins that lurk in your heart -- the ones that other people wouldn't even know that you have (and most often than not you don't even know you have) -- are the ones that would make you think twice about your character. Then, one day, a thing or a person or a circumstance, causes that sin hi...
