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 ...

Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey

Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque are the most beautiful mosque I've ever seen in my life. Looking at this makes me feel better after having a feeling of nausea of the 10-hour-trip. I felt relieved when we arrived safely in Istanbul, Turkey. I've realized that this gonna be the biggest trip ever. Ending the last leg of the Euro trip with a bang!!! Hagia Sophia Blue Mosque

Copenhagen: The Model of Happiness and Unity

June 26-27, 2012 Horrifying Check-up from Customs Reaching Copenhagen is not easy journey as what we usually had. We were in the middle of the road like for 10 hours. With in those hours, we were checked by the two group of customs from Germany and Denmark.  It was horrifying the fact that they have to check our passport one by one.  Both of these customs had different goals in mind. Like the Germans, they have to check for illegal immigrants. One of us was found that there was something wrong with his passport. He was asked to get off and not to continue the trip. Not only that, after we crossed the sea for 45 minutes in a Roll on Roll off ship, we were being checked by the Danish customs. It was quite horrifying because they were checking if your passport was real or not. Aside from that, since this Eurolines bus was from Amsterdam, they were also checking for stash or drugs.  Guess what! Four of them were asked to get off for full body scan ...
