International Flight

I had my first international flight week ago. It was night time
when I left the Philippines on board a Continental Airlines bound
for USA.

While waiting for my checking inn time to appear on the
departure monitor at the Ninoy Aquino international Airport , Manila
I met a Filipina named Jennifer Bravo. We had a nice conversation
until the time of my checking inn came. My flight from Manila to
Guam was great for I had a great time talking to a Filipino who
is now an American Citizen working in Hawaii. The duration of the
flight was 3 hours and 15 minutes and it was early morning in Guam
when the plane landed at the A.B. Won Pat International Airport.
Had to go through Immigration and Passport Checking and waited for
one hour before the boarding of my flight going to Honolulu came.
I was sitting in a row with a Filipino-American Citizen who is
residing in Honolulu, Hawaii. It felt good because I had someone
to talk to about anything that popped up in my mind that had to do
about the USA. The flight was 6 hours and 35 minutes from Guam
until we reached beautiful Honolulu, Hawaii. I had to go through
U.S. Customs just like the rest of the passengers and waited for one
hour in the termininal until the connecting flight left for Houston,
Texas. On board the plane I was sick due to motion sickness because
the plane was so bumpy due to weather. I was sitting with a Filipina
nurse from Iloilo, Philippines who is now a Citizen of USA and works
in Houston.

After the long flight that was a total of 25 hours, I saw my
husband at the Airport in Brownsville, Texas. The feeling of being
tired disappeared when I saw him there. The experience of the flight
was something I will forever be thankful to God because He made me
felt at home and safe.

Summer Adventure in the Philippines

The first summer that me and my husband spent
together was in the Philipines.Aside from visitng
beaches and having good time swimming on the pool
we also went to Cagayan de Oro's pride The White
Water Rafting Adventure and The Macahambus Adventure
Park where we experienced walking on the sky bridge
and zip lining.

Walking on the sky bridge was an experience
that can make one not to continue the walk
especially when you look down where you can
see branches of trees, grasses, wild flowers
and some water and if you have fear of heights
you surely will not do it, unless you have the
guts and determination to do so.

120 meters Zip lining was another thing that made our
adventure a fun-some one. It's actually a heart-pounding
activity when you do it. It is safe to do when you
have the complete gear for safety and when you follow
instructions from the experts, the guides.

Water rafting is indeed a wet experience for surely you
will become wet after exploring the 14 rapids of Cagayan
de Oro river.You will be exposed to sun so it is better
to have some protection like apply an amount of sunblock
on some parts of your body or wear something that protects
your arms and legs from too much exposure of sunlight.
Everyone on the raft has to say "High Five" after surpassing
each of the rapids.

To experience an adventure like the above mentioned is
something you will never forget because aside from the
thrill and excitement, you sure will have fun!

as I walk on the sky bridge.

On being Happy

There are many ways for a person to be happy.
And being happy does not only concerns you as an
individual but the people that surrounds as well.

In order for us to be happy we must know our needs
and wants and then try to think some ways on how we
could make such lists be materialized. When we want
to be happy then we dream of becoming happy and dreaming
is not merely sitting down and wait, it needs preparation
coupled with prayers and then let's work for it.

Sometimes we feel happy not because we pamper ourselves
with the things we want but when we see others happiness
through the blessings we share to them it brings so much
joy to our hearts. Therefore if we are happy let us try to
extend our happiness to others especially to those who needs
us the most and let's wear a smile too :)
