Moses' Miracle in Korea

This phenomenon of sea parting is actually a yearly happening in one of the places here in Korea. They say, every year about 400 thousand Korean and foreign tourists rush to see this miracle where a fully exposed sea way occurs for about an hour. Basing from the pictures, its not really as dramatic as the graphic movie presentation of Moses' miraculous parting of the Red Sea. Still, it made me curious that something miraculous being described in the Holy Bible is actually still happening this year. Read more about it.

Mom's Special Day

April 10 - today is my Mommy's Birthday! Well, I am far from her but she will always be a big part of who I am today. During my first two years in college, I spent it mostly with her and my twin bro in Bohol as all my brothers were studying in Cebu (for which my Dad usually stayed with them) back then. I think we got our preference of being home-buddies from our Mom as we usually stayed at home during weekends sometimes just reading books or novels together with her during those days. Actually, my parents bought some really nice encyclopedia and reader's digest books at home when we were still kids and I hope to do the same with Danielle. Anyways, thank you very much Mommy for bringing us into this world and molding us to be responsible persons. You will always be my inspiration in strength and faith. May our Good Lord continue to bless you with more strength.

April 10 - today is also the birthday of Manoy Jigz' son John Paul Glenn. A wonderful boy who shares his birthday with her Lola Mary. Poy-Poy, may you grow up to be a smart and strong man.

April 10 - today is also the baptismal day of my daughter Danielle. Barely a month old at that time, I chose this special day so that she will always remember it when she grow as its also the birthday of her Lola Mary.

Blooming Cherry Blossoms

Finally, the chilly winter temperature is replaced by the welcome cool breeze of springtime season! Here in Korea, the start of spring is associated with the blooming of the cherry blossom trees. It is indeed a sight to behold with cherry blossom trees blooming white flowers after it has been bare the whole winter. It's one of natures beautiful reminder of the start of another season - springtime.

Last Saturday was the full bloom of the cherry blossom trees in our place here in Korea. My office building is surrounded with these trees that employees have the luxury of strolling through the surrounding areas during lunch breaks. The side of the street across our office is also lined up with these cherry blossom trees. For me, I took the opportunity last Saturday to take the time to enjoy this seasonal event together with my family. However, I only had the chance to stroll through a few trees as we had some other family schedule to attend to. Anyhow, it was still a relaxing feeling to go out into the sunshine with its welcome warmth comforting the cool air of spring. Besides, my wife and her friends had already strolled through most of the cherry blossom trees across the streets in our office.
