It was a drizzling Friday when we convoyed my childhood friend's car heading to San Isidro where he and his family lives. We seldom see each other since he was assigned in San Isidro, still part of Davao Oriental, as Mayor's bodyguard. That's why when he took a visit to our house here in Davao last New Year, I asked if we could go with him. Husband and I have been longing to visit Mati due to positive feedback we see from social media. We were so lucky at that time because my friend served as our tour guide as he's so familiar with the place.
Here are the places we visited in a span of five hours. All our tiredness went away when we saw some of the beautiful spots of Davao Oriental.

How's your 2019? I hope you had a fantastic New Year with your family.
My one word in 2019 was PATIENCE. In fact, I wrote a blog about this early January. You can congratulate me now because I can tell that I am 70% more patient than I was in 2018 (yay!).
For 2020, my one word is TRUST. I struggled a lot personally last year. If you notice, I only have a few entries on my blog because I suffered from anxiety. I can't figure out yet the root cause of my anxiety but during my research, it could be rooted from childhood traumas that lingered in our sub-conscious. I can tell you that having anxiety is no joke. You will experience body symptoms that are out of nowhere like anxiousness, dizziness, nervousness and negative thinking. That's why I am careful about my diet. I eat mostly fruits and vegetables because it helps balance our hormones. I also avoid coffee and tea or any foods that contain caffeine. Most of all, I try to avoid stress because it is one of the triggers. That's why my family and I attended FEAST (spiritual gathering of Light of Jesus), every Sunday because praying and worshiping God help me unload my stress.
I don't know what God has in store in me this year but all I need to do is TRUST. Trust His plans. Trust his words. Trust His promises. I know He will heal me in His perfect time!
How about you? What's your one word in 2020?
A month ago, we went to Eden Nature Park and Resort to celebrate our nine years wedding anniversary. The place is not new to us since we've been here for the third time. First was when Chesska was still two years old then second was during our church wedding anniversary. We build tons of memories here. We genuinely love Eden since the place is cold and peaceful where you can release your stress while in the city.
Just scroll down to see our pictures below.
