Had my first ever travel escapade.. Wandering in Tagaytay! I wanted to stay there for a day or so.. :)
After my retreat last 14th of May, my dear friend Patty sent me off at Pink Sisters. Stayed for more than 3 hours and PRAYED! So nice!
"Had a wonderful lunch date with you Pat.First time I ate at Bag of Beans.They sell no fry chicharon (for lesser guilt I think..) Good place! I deeply prayed for what you yearn in your heart. Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel. Hope you still remember this reflection I shared with you during our silent time in Caleruega".[For you Pat: In case you came across this blog]
Then went off to wander the streets to look for a place to stay. The weather was just right, cool and not sunny. A lot of foodies on the sides. Try the small pie (I always think it's called shepherd's pie. I don't know why.. hahaha)
I ask around for a place to stay. First, I felt so sad about the place. Seems like a CR turned bedroom.. Second place, fully booked!. Third, was not an appropriate place. Fourth place was a modern hotel :( . Then I walked some more..
I looked up in the sky and told God, "Lord, you won't drop this rain on me right?!" Then dreezle started so I took cover. Then walked again some more.. And then rain fell hard. I was on the side of the highway. I stopped, trying to pull my umbrella. Then walked some more.. I run for cover in a depot warehouse. Good people invited me in for shelter. Felt sad while I stared in the rain and I decided to go home. The bus to manila was just across the street. The rain was really hard. Then it stopped.
I walked some more.. Rode a jeepney with no where to go. Decided to took off at starbucks, still looking around. Then saw, "Nurture Spa". I smiled and made arrangements. I took the last available room.. And viola! I had my own ifugao house and lot... The place was so ralaxing and the nature so grand!
Prior to these experience were fears, sadness, doubt. Then I just proceeded. I will never know what is there to surprise me if I didn't moved along. Thank you Lord for this another relaxing and inspiring time of my life..
Let's embrace Life!
