Sometimes, best things aren't planned

Another perk of having a birthday is the leniency towards vacation leave. 
Not that we're military strict but we have special rules applied. 
But since it was a special day they let me moved it at a later date. 
Two days vacation leave before weekend means awesome rest. 
People  asked me where's my destination. 
there's no itinerary, I just want to REFLECT (over something) and REST, that's all.

Yes, there's no need for a grand vacation. 
Told yah, anything that is too much is fatal so I just used the VL to experience how it feels to sleep at night during weekdays. But to add a bit spice to the lazy days, I had some time out too. 
And yes, I went home. The travel time is  tad exhausting but still worth it.

I did a lot of walking which is my kind of thing

interact with mother nature at its finest,
and....this is not a rest house, it's a church
Surprise??? me too!

another venture for a self proclaimed history buff
the famous bamboo organ 
and the good news, someone played it for me

The last two pictures were taken from two different places, to be specific - churches (Mary Immaculate Parish - Nature Church and St. Joseph Parish) . I'd never been to any of them before that's why I grabbed the opportunity offered on my table before heading home. It's not  like there's no other chances but opportunity sometimes knocks only once. And I was serious when I said REFLECT....need I say more?

Would you still come to me, if I won't give you what you want?

Every Friday, when I'm off from work, I am visiting the church for a mass. After long hours of stress from work and daily choirs, sometimes you want to get away from the chaos that makes your mind go crazy. We always pray for something that we want though I know that wouldn't be the only reason to pray.Of course, we have to utter a thank you prayer for the blessings. But lately it seems like blessings weren't for me, though I know there were some which I didn't notice because of this crazy fever that I'm in to. And now, it's time to go to church again. Maybe God is asking if I would still come to HIM, if I am stress like this and he hasn't given me what I prayed for. 

YES, I will still come and visit you today and for All the Friday's to come. I have my faith in you that you are planning something for me and just wanted me to know that you want me to wait for the best time. I still have my faith harder than the rock, more precious than diamonds and stronger than the strongest man in the world.  

A friend suggested that I should create another blog and make it as my journal for the blessings I received and will receive. I ponder with the suggestion for a while and told her that it is difficult to manage many blogs, so I told her that I will dedicate each Friday of blogging in thanking GOD for the blessings. That will be another thing that will spice up my blog aside from the confessions and questions that I added at the bottom of each post. Isn't it amazing?
