Astonishing Joy Beyond Expectation

Life is really full of pleasing moments whose enjoyment for it is exclusively designed for neither an angel nor a jin. It is my great gratitude to the Almighty Creator who destined me for His special creation as humankind. Allah is so mysterious when mind tries to ponder His encompassing Knowledge and Power in creating the whole universe and all the things in and between the seven heavens and seven earths.

Since my awareness in this world of creation, I have sensed the greatest significant of life whose attributes are more than what homo sapiens have. Sometimes, I feel that I can do everything I want in this joyous life. I can only realize that I have limitations when I recall those days in the past failed to fulfill my dreams.  Realization reminds me; however; that it was neither a failure nor a limitation. It's just a godly-given situation for me to learn new knowledge that pave my path towards my expectations.

I thought childhood days were the only moments of joy in my life. Thus, I imagined how it would come again to the stage where I am at this time. I also came to realize that I also wished to quickly get matured when I was a child. I did it because there were times which are in need of adolescence rather than than babyhood. In conclusion, life is made up of complete happiness from the very start of human stages of development until its end. As I scanned my human stages, I have come across all the things listed in the following columns:

Created as human being
Achieving my soulmate after a dream
Blessed Children
Owning house in Zamboanga City
Engagement in house sari-sari store

Multiple 'Aha' in My LIfe

Gratefulness is what I always whisper to the Mighty One who blessed me with astounding journey in world of possibilities. I did not expect, but my Creator has made those unexpected 'aha' possible. Seemingly, days are just orbiting around the circle. It's rotation forms a month. Month goes on repeatedly until it ends with a year. Each of those works the same on its axis. Variations only happen in the situations they bring. Man counts it that is why differences become apparent. Either a masculine or feminine thinker is fond of facing the mirror. Both are in doubt about their attributes as special creations. At the end, scary age comes to their mind. They believe in their beginning. As a result, apprehension of their end weakens them for dreaming. Some try to dream bigger than what they think, but their feelings of limitations usually hamper its fulfillment. Insufficiency grows thicker than joy, excitement and many enjoyable moments they paved along the path of life. As usual or nothing is their commonly-uttered word when somebody asks how they are.

Alhamdulillah, the Owner of All Affairs has caused me to engage with many pleasing moments are as follows:

Survival after birth
Safety in the outbreak of Martial Law
First motorcycles
Marriage blessed with children
Lulua Home

Schooling amidst insurgency

Vacation: Twice-a-Year Voyage


This family started to spend some time for vacation in 2003. They used to leave Jolo for Zamboanga City every 15-day vacation in December and 3-month vacation in April of the year. The family members felt so happy spending times in Zamboanga City. There were so much fun and happiness for life after being tired of schooling and teaching.
