Things We Cannot Recover in Life

Image
We cannot recover four things in life. From these things we learn, we grow, we live. "I've spent my life running from the emptiness that haunts me And I've spent my whole life trying to ease the loneliness away And I die inside when I think of all the people that I've damaged I'm tired, I'm so tired and there's no one else except myself to blame" The stone … … after the throw! "My life's been wasted, everything is gone". Was there a time in your life when you have everything, wasted it, and now left with nothing but regrets? When you have the power, but abused it and now, you cannot take over. When once you were famous but became egomaniac and insufferable and all the people who were head over heels with you would spit on your face if given a chance? Value what you have now before you end up craving for them when they were lost. The word … … after it's said! Have you ever been wounded by words? I have, and most

MVP on Pregnancy

I had a very busy Saturday. There were so many household chores to do because our house help was on leave. I was washing our clothes when my baby cried, a sign that he was already hungry.

The family's favorite spot is the Tingko Beach! It is just a short tricycle ride from Guiwang, my husband's place. The clear blue sea and the white sands are free! There is no entrance or exit fee! (lol) We could bring our own food or even grill barbecue and enjoy the day eating, swimming and catching small fish! The children love it!

It is in a small but deep lagoon across a coral island called Mabad-on Reef that completely submerge during high tide and expose during low tide. Only a very narrow channel from the mainland separates it. Tingko Beach is an extensive stretch of curved shoreline with very white sand and clear water fringed with coconut palm grooves and limestone cliffs.

The beach can be crowded during weekends where locals and city folks, and occasionally, foreigners,
