God's Perfect Timing :D

Thank God for things finally coming together and working out in ways as always that I never expect! :D 

Many times, I counted my sorrows than my joys. And it made my sadness grow into doubt, resentment, and worst, bitterness. I used to cling to my past. I was (and maybe still am to some extent) the type who could hardly let go of something and someone I cherished but lost. I dwelt with so many "what ifs" , "why couldn't be" that  I forgot to see the beautiful things ahead of me. I blamed my self with the thought that I could have chosen to be happy. There was even a point in my life that I felt so stagnant and it seemed nothing better will happen. I have been trying to get a job but no one wants to hire me or anything. This world is so unfair and sometimes, I just don't want to be part of it anymore. Everything was but routine. I was sick of waking up every day and doing the same thing again and again..


I have been trying to make things better but nothing is working. I've been out looking for work but like I said absolutely no one is hiring or maybe it’s because I look and talk like a fucking idiot. I'm just stuck; I don't know what else to do. I feel like what little I have is crumbling apart and my life is becoming much more meaningless every second. 


But God works in amazing ways. God is great and He certainly answers prayers. I thank God because He has answered my prayers regarding the job I hope for. I got the job in just in time my heart and mind wanted it badly. God has been good to me in many ways which I failed to see. I was amazed to know I have many reasons to be happy, much more, joyful. I may get sad (well, a normal thing for human beings!) but I have learned to see and get excited of what God has prepared ahead of me. 


I THANK YOU LORD for blessing me with a job. Thank you for answering my prayers when I have been in despair. You have never left me and continue to be with me through trying times. Please give me the patience to endure and the strength not to falter just as my Lord carried such a heavy cross for me. Forgive me when I have stumbled and have been led astray. You continue to love and steer me, leading me to the path of righteousness. I am your child and my heart is yours forever. Thank you for being loving and always forgiving dear Father. I Love You! 


Praise God for answered prayer and His glorious works! :D

MARAGUSAN :D

Maragusan, known to be the summer capital in Compostela Valley province, is a town that can be found in a midst of a valley surrounded by lofty mountains.

The travel to Maragusan is not so relaxing especially when it's your first because the roads are rough, dusty and not cemented plus the thrill on trailing roads alongside deep ravines is not that enjoyable. Unless, of course, if you're a thrill seeker!

It was 7:00 in the evening when we arrived at the poblacion proper ofMaragusan.

We spent the night at Haven's Peak Highland Resort.


The best place to stay is Haven’s Peak as it is nestled on Tarago Hills facing the town with 208 beautifully landscaped steps (with three stop-over for those who are tired!) leading to its tidy but beautiful lobby. This mountain resort provides sight of the picture-perfect and picturesque view of green foggy mountains appearing like a painting like backdrop of a stage.

The next day, We woke up 6am and the real adventure began.


Being the Summer Capital of Davao Region, Maragusan boasts to be the home of magnificent waterfalls and really cool cold spring. And the highlight of our itinerary was trekking and hopping to these beautiful waterfalls. As there are several waterfalls, we just visit two of them. Top of the list is Marangig Falls in Barangay Albay. It serves as an entry to climbing Mount Candalaga. It is a system of waterfalls consisting of 13 levels surrounded by trees and different shrubs.

At Barangay Coronobe, you can watch the famous Tagbibinta Falls. Unlike Marangig, this one has only a series of seven falls, the first one measuring approximately 70feet in height. If you like trekking and climbing, then this is the place you should go. It is about five kilometers away from the town.

So far, only two hot springs have been discovered in this town. The only one open to the public is Kanlawig Hot Spring Resort, which is just along the road going to poblacion proper. The resort has many cottages with a store enough to cater their visitors basic food needs.

The Aguacan Cold Spring Resort, an adyllic "all in one" resort located just a kilometer from the town's center. It has an Olympic-size swimming pool, a boating area, conference hall and restaurant, cottages for overnight stay, tent area, souvenir shop, billiard hall, videoke facilities, table tennis and volleyball and basketball courts.

The trip and adventure to Maragusan was something full of thrill and full of excitement. Even though our stay was quite short, the trip was super sulit! :D
