Magen's Bay- St. Thomas

If I have to make a list of the most beautiful beaches in all my travel I guess Caribbean beaches would top on my list. The color of the water alone is awesomely appealing and inviting-pristine. Today, I’d like to share what my eyes had made fiesta of - my discovering and knowing St. Thomas highly featuring the Magen’s Bay

 

 

 

 

 This is one of the steep roads to go through to get to the top in order to see the top view of the Magen's Bay

 

 

 

 

 

And of course this is me taking a pose while on the road-it's stunningly beautiful I know my point and shoot camera won't convey the beauty

 

 Annnnddd....this is the Magen's Bay-to me it's like a huge swimming pool with a salt water it looks too calm too relaxing a Heaven on earth. As I was taking this pose I'd like to shout out loud but of course I can't so I just did it in my thoughts

 

 

Above was the view from the top- and this is the Magen's Beach itself. The water is sooo light that I feel like soaking myself  the whole day with the sun not too strong on that day that we went

And this is one of the little birds that caught my attention-enjoying its paradise :) 

 And of course- Me the poser enjoying the sugary sand of the Magen's Bay

 

 

 And the beautiful shoreline

And of course the famous and refreshing Buschwacker of the Caribbean

So much beautiful things to say about Magen's and St. Thomas- This is just a bit of the beauty they possess. Hope you too, whoever stumbles in my page enjoy the beauty only God can create

What's in St. Maarten

Before having laid eyes on St. Maarten in February of this year ( 2015 )it was always a question for me then what it looked like for this is one of the places I am curious about and sort of a dream place to go to- well, actually the whole Caribbean.

Due to a job calling I was fortunate enough to went in St. Maarten and other neighboring places in the Caribbean

It was over 40hours travel just to get in St. Maarten including airport lay over. The longest flight I’ve had!

So to share a glimpse of St. Maarten to whoever visit my page. Here are photos for you guys---------à>>>>>

 

Well, this is a photo of the road I walk through to get to the town

The name of the Church says above and this is the first Church I've gone to in my first few days in St. Maarten. Lucky me to attend a Mass- their way- very lively, vibrant and sooo touching. At the end of the mass First and New comers are asked to stand up. Without hesitation and with full pride I stood up and there everybody raised their hands to us asking for God to bless us- and that made the most memorable part for me. God have heard our Prayers so I'm feeling His Blessings to me till to this day.- To God be all the Glory

This what you'll get to see once you're in the Heart of the town. Tourists and locals flocked in this area

This cool fella was so game to have a selfie with me

As I walk through the Shopping Street, this caught my attention- I soo like the Store

You know you're in the Caribbean when you see this :)

When I got there it was almost the end of the Season so it happened that I was able to attend to a party hosted by Heineken- It was an open area party beside a super sandy Beach- It was fun



So when you are in St. Maarten and is up to Shopping and the town you know it's time to turn left when you her :)



Caribbean singers are sooo groovy- They are very entertaining. I like their Music

You can see this cute Bar/Cafeteria in the heart of the town- a very inspiring idea for those who plans to put up a Cafeteria

A thing to remember in St. Maarten? Like everywhere else in the Caribbean the Weather is so unpredictable you can see the Sun is brightly shining and after a split of minutes the rain pours in. So better be always prepared not to get wet.

There are so many fond memories in St. Maarten that wasn’t caught by my Camera like the ones we always see on funny videos the tightest Airport in the world which is also considered as one of the most dangerous. It was so fun and I may say scary to see how close to the beach as every Airplane lands and takes off from the Airport. That I failed to take a photo. It was a quick stay though. I even failed to do even a little swim or do Snorkeling, so much have to do for me on my next visit when time permits. To that, Yeah- St. Maarten is definitely a cool destination to be considered worthy of going to

 

 

 

 

tHrowback

I see many throwback photos on my newsfeed today and realized that today is thursday so to get in to the loop of throwbacks, I'd like to share my superthrowback photo with my siblings.

Well, obviously I am that little girl in the middle holding a doll given to me by my godfather- of which up to this time I still manage to keep that wonderful present stored in our house. :) My sister on my right who has the weirdest haircut ever and my brother on my left who's knees was obviously fresh from street game called holen. :)

This photo was taken around 1985 if I'm correct..so I was just three years young then. Wow..

It is always nice to reminisce the past. I always have a smile in me remembering those days. We were carefree and happy. Now, we hardly get to see each other in a year. oh life, thank you for I enjoy the company of my siblings with those years that you have allowed us to be all together. Now that we have our different priorities it's just a nice feeling to look back and say..oh those were the days.. :) :) :)

Happy BirtHday

He was the first boy to remember as my playmate

He was responsible for the first scar on my knees and wrist ( which reminds me that i had fun and beautiful childhood )

He was the boy i share the same umbrella decades ago

He was once the boy I run to when im caught in trouble

He was my first enemy to remember ( got an excellent job on teasing me )

He was that dude who influenced the taste of my music

He was that dude i cried over every time he goes back to school after having his weekends at home

He was that dude pre-judged by many

He is the man who shows me what laughing out loud really sounds like

( he has such a good laugh :) )

He is the man who sets an example of great courage and confidence

He is the man who settles down using pay and satellite phones despite of the hi-tech-ness of the world

He is the man who knows exactly what he wants

He is the father to the source of my joy nowadays

He is the man i admired most next to my father

He is my Brother.

Happiest of BiRtHdays to you my only brotha..Again, as the world continue to reveal itself to me i love you more now than 15 years ago

This is his first time to see Carlisle, The baby was just 3 months old then

Word Battle

I am presently hooked up with the game Word Battle. Actually, I started playing this game since last year when a dear friend introduced it to me. It’s fun, it is a good antidote to boredom, it sharpens my vocabulary and more than anything else I like the morals it teaches me. For those who doesn’t know the mechanics of the game, well it’s more like Scrabble. Normally, there are four players on each game. And each set one has to choose letters ( consonant,vowel ) or you can directly choose random..Each letters has its corresponding points. Out from those letters each player has to form any valid word. The higher points you earn the greater chance for you to win.

I associated life to playing the Word Battle. You never know what letters will be given, you just have to make the most out of it. There are times I do the best and there are also times that I’ve said to myself “I would have done better” There are times that I’m losing but still choose to continue and hoorah my co players got in to mistake.. and I won..-coz I didn’t quit the battle. Not so far from the way I live life and life itself.

I guess what’s really funny was that.. I often caught myself laughing with my co players who acts greedy at times. Maybe because of the eagerness to win, even if they aren’t sure for the word still they put it on, and the results? –wrong word so that leads them earn a no point. I often laugh at them and laugh at myself coz I realize I do the same  as well at times. J

Yeah, sometimes life is a big joke J

Immortality

Recently, I’ve been hearing people died with their young age. And again, it reminds me that death can happen in anyone at any time. When I think about mortality it scares me and yet it somehow induce me courage. It scares me because I don’t think anyone would be completely ready for it, as for myself having the thought I feel like I have so many things that I still wanted to do that if God will ask me to come home with him. I would still have half of my thought in this world but will say that if you think I have fulfilled my purpose then, thy will be done. It induce me courage- a courage to do things I really wanted to do and yet choose to set aside, please don’t ask me why? J Courage, to set aside pride and always make peace to people and show love especially to people I care about. If oneself bear the idea that death is just around the corner, one wouldn’t feel far from the feeling that I do have.

Indeed, this life is a gift for it wasn’t anyone’s choice to be born in this world. From that realization I often ask myself what did I do with this gift? the answer to this will define my purpose, I may have accomplished some but I’m still on the quest of defining more of my purpose which means I still want to live more…hehehe J

We are all transient resident in this world. What will live immortal are the things that we have done while we are alive. I had  my conversation with my sister yesterday and again I wish to become more like her. She really have this good heart for people much more for our family. I am just so lucky having her as my sister.. I love you ate...... :)

Becca and I

Next to my family I can say that the greatest blessing that I have are my friends. I am surrounded by good people. Though sometimes I am not sooo good..hehehe.

The first Wednesday of May is s0 special for me. I don’t know if it is coincidence but there’s always something extra special that happens to me every first Wednesday of May every year. I have come to realized it in 2011 when my best friend Becca gave me this wonderful present from the Our Lady de la Garde in Marseilles France. As far as I could recall I was so overjoyed having it. That was the sweetest gift I ever received, from the effort to the means until on how it reached to my hands. That was a beautiful feeling. Indeed, the sweetest and the beautiful blessings that I have received are the ones that I never asked nor imagined. I will be forever thankful to God for loving me though sometimes I am not lovable J And I will forever be thankful to Becca for this beautiful friendship I found in her. With your beautiful heart, may you be blessed a thousand folds. You are my warrior, confidante, my boss, my mentor, my friend, my sister and sometimes my enemy. You are a pillar of becoming who I am today
