iScubadive

It's been a while from my last dive. I took my time to get comfortable again with the diving gears, wet suit, air tanks, weights around the waist, fins and be able to inhale and exhale automatically with the mouth in the regulator, clear the mask of water and remove pressure out of my ears while going down to enjoy what is under the water.

Down there is a different world that is so beautiful it will take your breath away. I remember the first time I dived.The hand sign to go up is thumbs-up. I saw a lot of beautiful things and I was so carried away, I made a thumbs-up sign. My dive buddy thought I wanted to go up already, but what I really meant was that everything was just tops, number one (Mhay, can you relate?lol).

The sunny skies, white sandy shores, and sparkling blue seas. Yes, just perfect for a day of scuba diving. But certainly, the splendor of underwater Philippines is still the best and with most marine life in the whole world. #reminiscingthewavesofPuerto Galera #NortherntipofMindoroIsland #thankyoudeepblueseadiving #waitingfortheunderwaterpics

Blessed to Bless

Blessed. Regardless of its many definitions, it becomes essential when you acknowledge that you have God to thank for when you find yourself in a place of abundance. By this, I mean not just in in material resources, but also in other ways such as physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. It is a powerful feeling, having more than enough of what you need so that you can actually share it without feeling you have lost anything in the process. There is more where it came from, whatever it is. It feels like being in a state of wholeness, completeness. What could be a greater gift than that? Being able to attend the SFC - Middle East Conference this year is an early Christmas gift I gave myself. It does not take the place of your usual prayer life. It is there to supplement it, make it even deeper than it already is. There is a feeling of well-being, of serenity, of a peace that I cannot quite put my finger on. I am indeed blessed for moments such as this.❤
