I think I fell in love with Bicol…but not as attached as I would normally be. I think I have grown up too from years before when I would really be attached to a place. There’s this place that we went to, a house by the sea,that is like a perfect scene from a movie.
What a really beautiful country…
We visited several GK sites from Camarines Norte to Camarines Sur.I am inspired again by the passion of the caretaker team there and the beneficiaries…
I think there would be one moment where I can say I was definitely attached…it was in GK Labo in Daet, Camarines Norte…a child approached me and asked me to stay and sleep with them. I will never forget you Herminia, I will definitely return…
God also gave me a perfect gift this Sunday morning. Woke up at 5:30 am to spend time with God and the sea. God gifted me with a sunrise. Ah, what a blessed sight. Words fail me.
I can still see it in my mind. I’ve never seen a sunrise on my own and I’ve never seen the sun actually rising. It was truly amazing. God paints really well. He uses the bright, yellow palette to paint a sunrise and the deep hues in the sunset. Thank you God for the sunrise!
Thank you for making my dreams come true. Now, as we saddle up for work, I hope I can give more with my fresh eyes (though my glasses were broken in the trip)…. I think I may not be needing it especially that God allowed me to see beyond what mere eyes can see.
Top 7 things I loved about this trip:
1. Sunrise at Dolo, San Jose, Camarines Sur
2. GK sites in Jose Panganiban, Calabanga, and Labo especially Herminia
3. Bicolano food especially laing and pinangat
4. Trekking to the port where the light house was
5. Swimming in the sea in the early morning
6. Doing an Interview while driving with the long winding road ahead
7. Lots of Laughter (Thank you Kuya Red and ate Angie!)
The only downside: Eating too much
