Reminiscing Asia-Oceania Conventions

2012, Tokyo Japan

August 2013, Melbourne, Australia

Hi, Australia!

Around Victoria, Australia

From Top (L to R) to bottom: (1) Loving the rural atmosphere at Churchill Island that I felt like i do not want to go back to Singapore anymore; (2)Having some posing with the choppers on the background at Great Ocean Road (12 Apostles); (3) Somewhere in Warnambool: The place where I was able to have a very close encounter with jumping kangaroos in the wild. I was star strucked that I was not able to take pictures. Sigh.

From Top (L to R) to bottom: (1) At 12 Apostles. This scenic place is really breathtaking. 4-5hours drive going there was completely worth it. (2) Next is at Mornington Peninsula. we enjoyed walking around because there were no other visitors. Just the two of us :) ; (3) Outside the Melbourne Gaol. It used to be a prison house for the most notorious Australian criminals during 1940's. 

From Top (L to R) to bottom: (1) I hate to state the obvious, but eer, we were at Melbourne Visitor Center in front of the Federation Square; (2) This is my favorite photo of ours: at Cape Schank Lighhouse, Mornington Peninsula; (3) That green train is the ever famous Puffing Billy train, one of the well-preserved steam train in the whole of Australia.

From Top (L to R) to bottom: (1) Visited my childhood friend, Angelo in their Truganina home; (2) Roaming around on a very late night at Melbourne CBD with rio and Vik. This was after the ASOP-AO Midyear Division Eliminations; (3) Visiting Bro Joel Saba in his Melbourne abode; (4) With Rio, Vik and my Beybi at Flinders Station. Late night strolling here was a lot of fun :)

Exploring New South Wales

From Top (L to R) to bottom: (1) @Feathedale Wildlife. Awesome place and highly recommended to future visitors; (2) @The Entrance. 1.5hrs away from Sydney. A very serene place and there are lots to do but I was only after the free afternoon attraction which is the pelican feeding; (3) @ the Scenic Blue Mountains. Nature tripping at its finest. It was damn cold and windy that day and I cant bear it haha!

From Top (L to R) to bottom: No need to say more top pics were taken in Sydney. On the background is the Sydney Opera House and the equally famous Harbour Bridge; below was in Darling Harbour and the place is really a darling. I dont mind going back and have some nice strolling again :D

Oh, Australia. I want to see more of you :)

Blessed. Happy. Thankful.

Today, I should be writing about the things that I have always been thankful for. But I’m having a hard time constructing my sentences. I tried you know. I’ve just been sitting here in a standoff with my iPad since yesterday. Now, me and my alter ego unanimously decided it’s best if I just eat my spaghetti out and drink my avocado shake up to its last drop then randomly write down my blessings. I have a lot, really. Mostly undeserved and I did not even worked hard for. I cant explain why I stammer in this writing. I have too much in my head but I don't know how and where to begin. Aaahh, yes. It is definitely because of too much excitement. Seriously, thats is the correct word: EXCITEMENT! I just cant wait. Our 2012 4th Quarter Thanksgiving is still two good night sleeps away and seems like the wait is forever. That's what it is like when you are anticipating for something you are crazy about, right? I bet you experienced it before, too. So here goes the list of the things I am being thankful about. I jotted them down in the order of importance to me.

HIS fold. Dedicated leaders Kuya Daniel Razon & Bro. Eli Soriano. His words. Righteous brethren. Duties. Choirmates. UNTV colleagues. Fellow group officers. Loved ones. Healthy me. Healthy family. Supportive & overly caring better-half. God-centered marriage. Childless. Too-much-loving Mother. Sweet brother and sister. Adorable nieces and nephews. Lovely family-in-law. Good friends. Great job. Nice boss. Jolly workmates. Ugly outside. Imperfect inside. Weak inside & out. Not intelligent enough. Anorexic bank account. Never ending debts. Many shortcomings. Troubles. Problems. Trials.

There are still lots but its already unspeakable, unfathomable and inexpressible. But I believe HE knows what I want to convey. I am unworthy of His love and more than undeserving of His mercy. And yet, among seven billion people on earth now, I am one of the lucky few hundreds that was called. And for all of these, I am so grateful. So on 22-24th of December 2012, the whole congregation of "The Old Path" or more commonly known as "Ang Dating Daan" will offer Thanksgiving to God Almighty! And I will be there by hook or by crook, Godwilling.
