A blessed 2018 to all!!

Hello everyone!

How's your new year?  I hope you had fun and enjoyable celebration.

Thanks be to God for the wonderful 2017 ... that was a blessed one!  Lots of unforgettable moments like the grand family reunion in Davao City.  That was the last meeting also with my fav uncle Ben who passed away last December.  Lucky enough that I was able to bond and hug him for the last time during that visit in Davao City last May.  

My sis Malou's visit to Japan and Darling visit from Canada was great too! 

My 2017 was another busy year on travels ... i loved all the places i had been especially in Europe wherein I visited Austria, Spain, Hungary and Slovakia.  Thanks to all the kindness of my loving relatives and friends that I met there.

 Special thanks to my awesome bestie!!   You're the best dear!  Thank you for always being a very good friend of mine!

Exploring Bataan and visiting Okinawa was superb too! Including the summer visit in Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo.  That was sooo hectic sched but incredible!  Thank you Lord for the strength, power and for being my provider always! 

I am also grateful to all the favorable works and activities that i did and experienced!  Nothing is impossible when i always depend on You!   

Foremost,  thanks be to God for protecting and watching over my family for the whole 2017. 

I do hope and pray for another healthy, happy and blessed 2018.

Protect us and bless us more dear Lord!

Your my precious Saviour ... i live to worship and honor you! 

Love and peace to all!

Walking Around Tokyo in Autumn Season

Tokyo, the busy capital city of Japan is well known as ultramodern city. However, traditional and historical places still exist in this city like excellent museums, historical shrines and temples, as well as gorgeous gardens. 

Lately, whenever i have chance to visit Tokyo ... I explore different green spaces of this popular metropolis. 

Here are some of the historical garden i visited this autumn.

I am a New Creation 

by Sarah Sadler

I love this song ...

Trying to learn this song on my guitar ;-)

What a wonderful world!

I found some photos of my visit to other countries ... 
i tried to compile them in one vid but unfortunately Photo Grid only allowed 50 photos in a vid ...
I just used my smart phone on making this simple vid ... 
amazing smart phone ... they can do anything :P 

If i have more chance and time ... i would like to make a better vid thru movie maker appli.   

Oh well ... the adventures featured in this vid was really nostalgic ... priceless!

Thank you Lord for the unmerrited favors ... 
thank you for all the dreams, joy and memories xx

I was working as interpreter today and i transferred from one site to another but that's ok ...  it's a bright day and i enjoyed walking around... coz all I see were beautiful sight like this Sumpu Castle's Hitsujisaru Yakura or Arsenal Tower. 

Another week is soon to be over ... i had a busy week but i love it and thanks be to God for all the work He'd given me ... thanks to Him for being my provider as always ... it was another productive week for me ;-)
