I remember my dear daughter Sachan ... when she was a kid ... i used to bring her to many international events.
She was among one of the first batch kids of my voluntary organization who promoted Philippine bamboo dance on stage. On some events ... when we need to do some fund raising for the needy or for a cause... she was happy going around carrying a donation box together with some other kids and asked for donations to everyone ...
As times goes by ... she became busy with her schooling ... however, when she had a chance to come or attend to my activities ... she continued volunteering with my group.

Now she is fully grown up ... even she is busy with her work ... still she is happy helping me on my voluntary works ... and i do appreciate it a lot.
Thank you my dear Sachan for your continued support to me and my group on promoting the Philippines here in Japan ... i am really proud of you dear.... bless you more for your sincerity and generosity.
After a busy week of work and activities ... terrible cough attacked me and lost my voice again!
Aside from medication ... i decided to go to onsen or hot spring thinking that it could help me recover soon
Here's a new discovery in Hamanako... Kanzanji Hotspring. This is a village of hotspring and i am surprised to know that this is the largest hot spring resort in Shizuoka Prefecture!
'tried 華咲の湯 (はなさきhot spring)
Some of the bath facilities
relaxing facilities
It has many varieties of bath ...big and small, indoor and outdoor bath and saunas!
... my day was complete with this and coffee ;-)
Everyone will surely enjoy the bathing ... even the restaurants, massage, beauty salon and relaxing facilities.
Just too bad ... you can't see the Hamanako lake from the resort.
Nway ... thanks be to God ... soaking in hot bath and staying in sauna helped me to relax and relieved my voice ... ready to fight again on the coming weeks ... yaaay ganbarimasu!!! :)
This is a source from someone's blog i have read lately ... some pointers that might change our life for the better ;-)
It says ...
Start entering new relationships for the right reasons!
Entering new relationships with dependable, honest people who reflect the person you are and the person you want to be. Choose friends you are proud to know, people you admire, who show you love and respect — people who reciprocate your kindness and commitment. And pay attention to what people do, because a person’s actions are much more important than their words or how others represent them.
Start spending time with the right people!
These are the people you enjoy, who love and appreciate you, and who encourage you to improve in healthy and exciting ways. They are the ones who make you feel more alive, and not only embrace who you are now, but also embrace and embody who you want to be, unconditionally.
