Growth in adversity

I was reminded by a photo i took while in Pagudpud when i saw this post about things growing in unexpected places.




Prosperity grows in adversity. Sometimes, you just wonder how something as beautiful as this could come out from seemingly uninhabitable place. It is true with plant as it is true with people. I suppose, it is also true that when you focus on something that something will grow. So when you focus on the negative, life conjures a set of negative events but if you focus on the positive, the universe will conspire you to have only the positive things in life. Even if rains do come, you will still be able to enjoy the rain and the cold that comes with it. In the meantime, we pray to help us survive every storm and see the breaking of a new dawn. We can always hope no matter the circumstance..

Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte

As a sort of birthday gift, hubby said that we will celebrate aj's birthday at the beach. Back then, he was actually contemplating if we should take a day-off but i said that we can just go to the beach the weekend of her birthday. I am not sure how he came to chose Pagudpud as our destination but he was with his friend Mandy. And so when friday came, he told us to packed our bags because we are heading for the beach. With us, are our friends Mandy and Mynne. It was a 10-hour drive. We left Manila at 7pm, ate our dinner at Total,NLEX. We made occasional stops to take a pee, drink coffee. We had breakfast at Jollibee, Laoag. Hubby really pushes himself so we get to enjoy these..
