Urkom family visits Alfred Nicholas Memorial Garden on November 21, 2020

In this forest, I breathe in every way that it is possible to expand my lungs in my brain, and my soul with these giant eucalyptus trees. Very massive!

It feels so good to do this with my tribe while exploring every Australian flora that stretches into my life to remind myself to rest and to relax. The route also took us to the discovery of the pools.

It wasn't sunny then, a little drizzling added on our excitement to look for a cover. I find it perfect - not too cold and not too hot for my tribe to walk and discover the little lake that has a shack at its end. There are plenty of visitors, bringing their lunch boxes, had their rag on beside the lake.

And, I saw also a couple who had their prenuptial photos taken while my kids were just running and playing on and off the bridges.

But what struck me the most is the towering giants of eucalyptus trees. Few were standing and others were fell off the ground hit by the lightning. One tree has a hollow in the middle of it may be because of the insects or its age. They cut it off intentionally and left half of the branch, so the tourists can feel being inside this huge creature. And, they had their photo taken posing as if the tree gave birth to them.

Lesson: Even giants do fall. So, don't anchor yourself to what is temporary but anchor yourself to what is essential. It is essential to anchor our faith to our big God who will be with us standing tall over the test of time.

Memories in Austria from June 7 to June 16

Day 1 in Vienna – June 7, 2012 Leaving Budapest makes me sad, but going to Vienna makes me so excited. Another cultural experience has been waiting for us. So, the day before we left the country, we made sure that we have the necessary foods for the trip and cash because we need to buy train ticket. We woke up early and started walking at 5am heading to the Train Station, Budapest- Keleti. We supposed to leave at 6:05 am; however, there was something wrong with the rail jet, so we were transferred to another train that left at 7:10. We reached in Wein Meilding station in Austria at 9: 58am. Of course, travelling is not really all fun. I felt so tired specially, you can’t sleep well and you have to wake up so early. This train or Railjet 60 is much faster than the train we had from Bekes while the train from Debeljaca to Becej is the slowest of all. This is really second to Bullet Train. They have comfortable seats and ventilations. They give us program to inform us about ...

Lesson learned: Expect the Unexpected

T raveling is not e asy e specially when you have to step out of your comfort zone. A ll the inconvenience, desperation, and unexpected troubles that happened during the trip are lessons to reflect upon. We have proven how risky traveling is w hen my husband and I went to Europe for our honeymoon last year. T here were times we put our selves in danger because we messed out our bookings and things didn't work out as we planned them. Since the first day of our trip, we were used to booking our next departure ticket ever y time we arrived in a city. It was in contrast on what happen in Sweden. We didn’t know that we had to book the ticket from Copenhagen. Apparently, we thought that we are getting ahead, but we are not. We had to call Denmark's office to book the ticket knowing that we had no where to print it. It was a blessing that the S...

Letting Go of All Worries in Donna Buang Snow Mountain, Warburton | Snowplay | August 12, 2019

They say that winter always describes as cold, numbness, scarcity even associates with death. For me, that is snow, that is those days of bluster and ice that can be dangerous, but it can be also magical. It is a flash of diamonds that are covered everywhere. It is just all pure and white. May I wish that these thick pillows adorned on the trees and the soft and fluffy snow I am stepping on could heal all my worries about the future. Yet today, I am happy simply to walk with my family in it, it creates footprints of our own. The snow is soft enough that walking itself is very challenging because aside from it is so slippery, my feet are plunging to it. " God... please help me not to slip." The worried thoughts of a 27- week pregnant mommy me. And this is my winter pregnancy worries.
