I was told by my good friend to take this time for myself while Elmo is having a vacation with his Mommy-La. So, I am. It was my first time to do stand up paddle. As much as I love the beach and swimming, I still have my own fears - my fear to panic. We went stand up paddling along the Maribago shore - from Kontiki to rock island and vice versa. Everything went well from the start. I learned how to paddle by sitting and kneeling down as if I was on a kayak while picking up trashes. But I was there to stand up. So I did. And it was oh so good. I feel like I can go anywhere! When we were going back to Kontiki from the rock island, I was the last person to arrive. I had to go against the current and even stop everytime pumpboats were passing by. Everyone else was already on the other side. And I was there, wanting to just sit on my board or swim my way to Kontiki and just leave my board behind or simply scream for someone to pick me up. I paused, took my time to just calm down and control my emotions. Then I looked as far as I can. And went on stand up paddling my way. Definitely gonna do it again, now with more confidence! The beach where life is different, time doesn’t move from hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the current, plan by the tides, look and go as far as you can. <3 #summer #summer2013 #standuppaddle #SUP #SUPcebu (at Kontiki Beach Resorts)
My little Elmo with his cousins. <3
I carried him inside my womb for 38 weeks. I’ve never felt more complete than the day I knew a life was inside me. I always slept with him by my side. He was always there when I got home from work. I always carried him until he learned how to stand up on his own. I make sure I am always there when he does things for the first time. Now here he is, strolling, swimming and playing on his own while Mama is left behind in the island where he was conceived. He’s just growing up so fast. I miss you little man. Mama will be there very soon because I couldn’t take being away from you for so long. Because when there was darkness, now there’s light. When there was pain, now there’s joy. When there was weakness, I find my strength all in the eyes of a little boy named Elmo. <3
I was waiting for so long For a miracle to come Everyone told me to be strong Hold on and don’t shed a tear Through the darkness and good times I knew I’d make it through And the world thought I had it all But I was waiting for you Hush now I see a light in the sky Oh, it’s almost blinding me I can’t believe I’ve been touched by an angel with love Let the rain come down and wash away my tears Let it fill my soul and drown my fears Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun A new day has come Where it was dark now there’s light Where there was pain now there’s joy Where there was weakness, I found my strength All in the eyes of a boy “A New Day Has Come” Celine Dion
