life of both extremes

i missed the city life...

For how many months, I think it was the longest I have stayed in Tagaytay to do all the reports and computer works and organized my "computer life"--updates my schedule on time and organize all the reports that I do monthly. Oh I forgot... I did stay long there during that two weeks in May when Abby and I worked on the materials for the IFOCUS Life and Ministry. But I wasn't able to organize my things then because I was focused on finishing the materials.

Tagaytay City is a city but unlike Manila where there are malls and the traffic and the noise and the people... staying up late at night at coffee shops with friends it's not that picture of a city. There is sturbucks in Tagaytay and the view is great staring at Taal Volcano while sipping Mocha Java Frappuccino. And that made it different. Though enjoying the food and drinks in the city but the ambiance is still the same. It's not that I don't like it because I love it. But what I am trying to say is that I miss the city life... with friends hanging around the malls and the noise and the people rushing...

My life is kinda mixture of both... I lived in the city for how many years but I also lived in the province located by the seaside and passing through mountains and fields. and I love both lives. But my problems is if I stay longer on the other one then I got bored and needed to change locations. I think maybe that's why the Lord gave me this ministry so I can travel a lot and not stay in one place so I won't get bored... and that makes my life more exciting and adventurous. If I want to be away from the crowded cities then I can just stay in my place in Tagaytay and help in the ministry there.... or the other way around.

the Warrior Princess

i got this phrase from a chapter of the book Captivating. it tells of a life of both extremes as well. ...having the comforts of the palace and the dangers of the battlefield... having the beauty and privileges of the princess and the bravery and discipline of the warriors... but both are courageous in their own fields and in facing the life of two different worlds. that is how i sometimes feel--being a child of the King of kings and at the same time trained to face the battles in this world before going home to the kingdom. I love the adventure. But it takes clear communication to my Commander who is also my King not to get lost and to receive instructions to get through everything victoriously...
