Last Sunday was the birthday of one of my church mates in our small group. Every Sunday at 2, we usually gather at BonChon Chicken store at Market Market for our small group. But, at that time, she told us to gather at Shakeys instead. So, we headed to Shakeys and had pizza, spaghetti, and chicken for lunch and banana split for the dessert. We enjoyed the food. Also, we shared our travel stories. Some went to Dumaguete; others, Camarines Norte, and I went to Hundred Islands.

By the way, what' s a small group? 

This is initiated by the church. Victory The Fort is the church where I go to every Sunday. They have small groups for all ages. Our group is for the single ladies from 26 - 35 year olds, if I'm not mistaken. There are groups for teens, for married couples, etc. If you are looking for a small group, please click this link: https://victoryplatform.everynation.org.ph/portal/group_finder.aspx

What do people do in a small group?

We talk about topical issues and what the Bible says about that. Our recently concluded topic was about dating. What does the Bible say about dating? What should be our attitude towards dating? These and other questions related to dating are discussed in the group. Now, our new topic is about being authentic. What is an authentic Christian? 

What benefits do I get from joining small groups?

1. It provides a new circle of friends. You can find a new group of like-minded people. 

2. I can study more about the Bible in relation to the present issues dealt every day. 

3. My understanding of the Bible and my relationship with God are deepened. 

4. I can learn new things about travel, jobs, and life lessons. 

These are just a few of the benefits we can get from being involved. Last Sunday, the group was planning of going somewhere. No fixed plans yet, but everyone hopes it will happen the soonest.

Trip to Korea and Japan

Image
Prologue:   The incident that happened last Feb 2013 haunts her every time she passes through immigration. The interrogation and the unfriendly faces of the immigration officers made her palms sweaty and heart racing. But, this doesn't stop her to see new horizons and experience foreign culture. All the more, her wanderlust grows even stronger after every trip. December 2015, she made up her mind to set foot in The Land of the Rising Sun. It has been her dream to visit Japan since five years ago. She told her friends that by the first quarter of 2016 she will have traveled the country of her students. She read many blogs about Japan tourist visa application. As soon as she received the ITR from the company, she wasted no time to prepare the rest of the documents. She submitted them to www.relitours.ph in SM Megamall. (Check out their site, and you will know the requirements needed.) This is one of agencies accredited by the Japanese embassy. FYI, the Japanese embassy does not accep...

Thoughts #1: What Should I Blog?

Image
I watched Julia and Julie while having lunch. Now, my desire to blog has come back. But I don't know what to blog. Actually, I have a blog on wordpress. If you want to check it out here's the address: mycoffeeshopstories.wordpress.com. I do have several posts there, but it has been quite awhile since the last time I posted. :(  I am also thinking of the title of my blog. For now I will use 'Wanders and Wonders.' I hope this will do for the meantime, but honestly I like it. I am just worried if the title would fit the content of my blog.  What do you think, guys? What should I blog? How often should I post? Please comment down below. I will appreciate your ideas. Happy reading!  That's all for today. Welcome to my first post on Blogger.  P.S.  Julia and Julie - a good movie for those who love cooking and writing. Check it out. :)  The image is not mine. I just grabbed it from google. CTO.

Boracay Trip

Image
When you hear the word 'Philippines', the first thing that comes to mind is 'Boracay' or 'Cebu.' These two places are very popular among tourists, foreigners and locals alike. It was my first time to set foot in Boracay last November 7-10, 2015. Thanks to my Korean family who asked me to come with them. It was their first family trip abroad. When I say my Korean family, this is the family of my student turned BFF. Why do I consider them as my family? During my stay in Korea, I lived with her family, and they took care of me. For a year and a half of living with them, I felt I belonged to this family. I am always grateful to them for everything they have done to me - accommodation, love, support, and acceptance. The relationship that I forged with them transcends beyond cultural differences which I am very much thankful of. At times, though, there are some misunderstandings because of differences, but it's natural in any healthy relationship. Well, going back...
