goes out to all…

How nice it is to reminisce the first time I went out of the country… specially that my first trip was to Europe…

"Traveling is worth ten years of study." This was said by my high school principal when i visited my alma mater days before i left the country. it felt overwhelming how i have made many people proud… and equally overwhelming to feel the gratitude deep in my heart.

It has been five months ago when i first stepped on the European cobblestones.. but the memories are still fresh like they just took place yesterday…

Apart from the ecstatic feeling that dawned on me during my first flight, my first ticket claim, my first bus ride with Czech people… i cannot compare the extravagant feeling of having a thousand people who have supported me during this trip, during this opportunity…

First and foremost is my FAMILY, i mean not only the immediate members of my family.. but everyone related to me :) …the trip would not have been possible without them…

The Filipinos who went with me to the country, they made my stay there worth remembering…

The Czech people with whom i stayed and spent one marvelous week of my life, they made it priceless and incomparable…

There are times when i just can’t help asking myself, "What good have i done to deserve all of these?"

So in my prayers i always thank God for unconditionally sending me blessings… i may not have feeling of deserving all of them but i know God is giving them to me to share them with others… even in the simplest way i can…

I might have been too busy during the past months doing other things which are of equal importance… but i am grateful that God has given me these few hours to look back and take the moment to thank the people who have been part of my humble achievements in life…

I might as well have had my share of frustrations and i have brought disappointments to those who are expecting much from me… do accept my sincere apology… and may you allow me to prove myself more… that i can do so much more… give a lot more…

When the thought that other people might be living their lives for me enters my mind… I want to get up from where I am seated, sum up all my strength and pour all my efforts so that I can glorify the deeds of these people who have loved me…

Sometimes it takes just a day for one to be able to learn much about life…
