just passing through: Caliraya, Laguna

Caliraya, Laguna

The next stop was the Caliraya Re-creation Center and Resort. After exploring the various sites and "kodak" spots in the area to enjoy the scenery, the group engaged in the team building activities like the Earth ball (soccer and volleyball using a "monster" ball), an all-female obstacle course (because the guys did not join us) and other adventure games like Slide Pinoy (mini version of zipline), Fly Pinoy (my first zipline experience), mudslide (I super loved it!), water ball and Zorb ball (another first-time experiences, and I think I won't do it again.) ;-) It was fun, fun, fun!

Sail On

"Life here on earth is a temporary assignment." - Rick Warren

They say that we are just like passing ships. Wherever we go and drop anchor, we learn something that makes our lives never the same again.

Life may have brought us disappointments, failures, discouragements, broken hearts and other negative thoughts and emotions but life goes on.

Along the way, we meet people who touch our lives one way or the other. Some become true friends. Most of them just acquaintances.

We are here in this world temporarily. We are not yet home.

Whatever happens, the Lord will never leave us nor forsake us. He always knows what's best for us.

Everything happens for a reason.

You don't have to know a lot of things for your life to make a lasting difference in the world. But you do have to know the few great things that matter, and then be willing to live for them and die for them.
- John Piper

And in the end it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
