DORA on the ROAD

Good morning peeps! Am back with a fresh outlook and with some new ideas after these two-weeks long holiday. I'm so very happy today when I woke up and saw the calendar....it's the end of July now! It means I'm gonna be celebrating another year of Yahuah's (God) unending love and mercy tomorrow...01 August...here in Indonesia. Yahoooooo!!!! It was been five years full of blessings since I came here in Indonesia and I thought I should share to you a little about my beautiful life here..... My first picture inside the PAL plane, hehehe still have that groggy look :D 01 August 2009, when I first landed to Soekarno Hatta International Airport, Jakarta Indonesia....... I thought life abroad was a start-from-the-scratch kinda thing,....well I guess my instincts were never quite that good ever since....Lol! I was on my way out to the immigration, when the officer had questioned my identity and my purpose of visiting their country. I was invited by a Filipino friend, M...

Hola! As you guys may have noticed, I haven't been updating this space for the last couple of months. This gonna be my first entry this year 2014 after a long hiatus, tragedic experiences we had last December 2013 and piled up works to do in the workplace. It couldn't have been timelier for Dexter and I because we both were going through a rough period (not with our marriage not to worry about) and needed some form of respite from the rat race and stress in life. And so we decided to make Hundred Islands this year's summer destination. I made some research and browse some facebook updates and photos of my friends who happened to stayed on this National Park located in Barangay Lucap, Alaminos Pangasinan. Their photos are pretty damn awesome and makes me drooling seriously. It's been fifteen years since I'd been here...so I don't know exactly how does it look like now :D We hit the road all the way from Bayambang, Pangasinan with our pals. It's been a...

Me and my husband, Dexter, on his pink of health Even though the past days have been very tough at times.......my heart is overwhelmed of Yahuah's love and goodness. Thanks to the Holy Spirit which brings me no end of comfort and gives me wisdom to handle things right. And thank you to His Word that sustains me moment by moment. Truly that His Name Yahuah Is Greater than anything that we are facing! Father, you've been good and I'm so grateful so thankful to You. I would like to take this opportunity to say Thank You to Dr. Lordwin Posadas and to the incredible nursing staff at SSN Hospital who have extended so much kindness to us. Thanks to my family and friends for their love, prayers and support through all this. Just like what the Ron Kenoly's song says..... You've been good. You have more than supplied all my needs. You've been good. When I paused to count my blessings, Father I can say, You've been good. In just a few days, another fr...

Hey, hey! How's everyone been doing? Listening to an inspiring music by Ron Kenoly, "You've Been Good" while writing this post in my room on a Saturday morning. Really listening to music while working makes work productively, enhancing my perceptions and positive mood on making this posts to conclude my Bali-Lombok Trip happened in March this year. It's been almost two months away from now already. Haha =D Time really does fly huh?!! Pictures are scattered everywhere, in my Samsung Galaxy 4, in my laptop picture galleries. Luckily, I've found this tour book on one of my drawer that helps me to recall easily what happened during our trip. So here we go guys!!!....the summary of our 4D - Bali and 2D - Lombok tours and activities after some serious digging ;) Day 1 - Lunch at Solaria, Sokaerno Hatta Airport Terminal 1 - Arrived in Bali at 16:50 - Checked-in Villa Sayang in Jalan Bedugul. - Night walk, had observed how the Balinese celebrate their ...

It was a grueling 3 - hour ride from Bangkok to Pattaya, my butt was already complaining for sitting down that long but it all disappear after seeing this largest collections of flower and fauna that are meticulously arranged into a great and stunning landscape.It took my breath away! I couldn't help but be inspired when surrounded with such beauty. Nong Nooch garden was only a half - hour ride away from Pattaya beach, a vast area showcasing individually themed parks. It was nevertheless a tranquil - friendly botanical garden that I highly recommend you guys to put into your toplists to visit in Thailand. It doesn't rest only on its botanical offerings, but there are much more to try with....one of it is their spectacular Thai cultural perfomances, an excellent introduction to Thailand's history and culture. Thai Classical Dances Thai Ancient Sword Fights And to top the day off, we feasted our eyes to their Thai cultural icon, the elephant show. It was real...

Back to my Thailand trip! I finally squeezed out some time to filter those photos which have been abandoned on my hard drive for quite a while. Pattaya, Thailand was famous for its nightlife shows and new waves of entertainment. Me and my other colleagues were delighted and amused to witness and experience one of their great show, the Alcazar cabaret show. Opps! just to clear out your mind. The show was presented not in any vulgar way, but purely in an entertainment perspective. Yes, that's right! A fantastic entertainment for adults and child alike, something that you should not miss whenever you're in Pattaya. So impressed on how do they arranged their stage and all the fancy lightworks that highlight their stunning Thai professional dancers, which I don't expect to be ladyboys. They look quite similar to a woman in their marvelous costumes. Definitely one of my favourite parts of my visit in Pattaya. I shall let the photos do the rest of the talking... ...

Pattaya Floating Market commonly known as "Talad Nam Si Pak" in Thai language which showcases the different cultures and traditional items best from the four regions in Thailand (Northern, Southern, Central and North Eastern (Isan) regions). A walk through this Thai style buildings linked by a network of canals and bridges is really exciting though quiet exhausting due to the scorching heat of the sun but all of this exhaustion disappeared after savoring with lots of fruit stalls and eateries selling authentic food, souvenir shops and art galleries around the premises. One stall selling barbeque out of crocodile meat Thai traditional dessert, you must try this peeps! Oleh - Oleh sections It also animates the area with folkloristic shows native for each region such as Thai dances specifically Coconut Shell dance, Dance with the Colorful Torches, Northern Dance and the Kalasin Beauty dance. Thai water boxing also adds highlights to the place. Paddling the boat and ...
