Teacher's teacher

"Sometimes the realization of holding on to the original family escapes you until one day you wake up alone and lonely."

"We must leave our comfort zone sometimes for it is in leaving that we learn to treasure what has been taken for granted."

Wishing tree- in Macau where we visited the Buddha shrine - as a family. Only God and Buddha heard my wish for each of my four kids turn professionals. May the wishes come true in God's time.

When one is in a strange land, you feel incapacitated and in fear for faces are strange to you but when you are with your family - there is nothing to feel incapacitated nor fear at all. You are with your family.

So many times we are caught up with our daily problems, travelling is farthest from our minds more so if expenses are thought of in advance. This is where children who have become professionals and are not yet married can play more acive roles. You will make your parents very proud and extremely excited to see all the kids take over: from the planning to the implementing to the spending and  just taking over and be the one in-charge. It is such a joy to  see them do their respective tasks and all the parents can do is smile and thank God for such generous and responsible children of then world and of God.

This route: Cagayan de Oro City - Cebu City- Hongkong- Macau - Hongkong-Cebu- Cagayan de Oro City was the focus of Teacher's teacher in her most recent trip. It was a trip that she is so sure not to happen again for quite a time. It was a trip of her "senior citizen phase" with her four children all turned professionals and decided to still stay single. It was a trip that erased the notion that the children whom we insist on seeing as children still put the parents on their toes for painful it may seen, they are now the prime movers of the world they have "conquered" and are still conquering.
