"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." ~Luke 6:27-28 NIV

When someone hurts us, most often than not our initial reaction would be to strike back, take revenge - perfectly like in the movies. But I have learned that the best way to handle it is to forgive and pray for the person because that will bring you peace and will stop the vicious cycle of hate and apathy. We are only passing in this world, cultivating hatred and revenge in our hearts will bring us no good.

Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances

So I just finished reading this book given to me by my office mate. It's titled LET IT SNOW: Three Holiday Romances - a book authored by three writers with three different stories that are intertwined to each other. This is my first time reading works of the three authors as I am a self confessed fan of Nicholas Sparks, I literally fell in love with The Rescue, the first novel I read way back high school.

Girls Day Out: Mantangale Alibuag Dive Resort

This is post long overdue. It's almost a month now since my high school buddies and I went to Mantangale Alibuag Dive Resort in Balingoan for a beach day out and to snorkel. Honestly, even though it was just an hour of bus ride away from home, it's a shame it was only my first time to visit this spot. 

Anyway, to get to the resort, we just boarded a Lipunan Bus that's bound for Gingoog City. From Balingasag to Balingoan, the fare is 32.00 Php if my memory serves me right. The resort is just a few meters away from the highway actually but in our haste and excitement, we alighted from the bus at Balingoan Public Terminal so we needed to take another ride to the resort itself by a tricycle.

We then walked going to the resort's gate where the guard asked us to pay 150.00 php each for the entrance which can be consumed through food (and cottage perhaps). I wasn't so sure about the latter though.
