The trip began with a hope of enjoying some rest to be able to get a glimpse of God's face. I would say that I have achieved this goal. I was able to rest from the daily grind of routine in Victoria. It has given me a fresh perspective of what matters, more accurately - who matters. Jesus is all that matters and nothing else.
This blog contains a journal of my things that happened in my trips. My first trip back to the Philippines was after 11 years after I buried my dad in 1998. I treat all my trips as a pilgrimate. Hopefully, the insights here will help you see things from a different perspective.

The Flight Home
We checked in at around 3:30 pm and the airport was very hot. It seemed that the air condition system was not working. It was hot when we checked in. It was still hot when we were in the boarding area.
Flight Day
I had breakfast with my brother. It was great to at least have my last day with him. I hope and pray that the Lord will bless him and his family. Bless the people who entertained us.

Day 27: Last Day before Flight
Being a Sunday, we went to mass. The gospel was the conclusion of the teaching of Jesus on the Bread of Life. Many left him because they could not understand and accept what he said. Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, "What about you? Are you also going to leave?" Peter said, "Lord, to whom should we go? You have the words of eternal life."
Day 26: Last Minute Shopping and Healing Mass
The day started pretty slow and picked up in the afternoon. We went to Trinoma to buy an appreciation gift to our host and went home. On the way, the taxi we took conked out right in the middle of EDSA! We got off the taxi and he even asked me to push the car aside. God bless the driver of that taxi.

Days 24-25: The Good Man against the Epal Politicians
The past two days were mainly focused on the death of Sec Robredo. I do not know him personally, but his actions in the department he headed speak for themselves. Likewise, the grief and sense of loss from the people show how great he could be.
