Remembering 2012
Year 2012 is a year that most of us will never forget. Much as it brought good things and reasons to be thankful about but it also brought devastation, loss, pain and sadness. It is a year of change, moving on and starting all over again. It is a year of celebration as well as forgetting the things that broke our hearts. It is a year where nations joined hands to reach out to those in need. It is a year where faith, family and friendship gave courage and strength for so many who needed much comfort.
All of us have our trials and hardships to bear. Most people I know thinks my life comes easy and laden with everything sweet. Perhaps I’m just good in hiding the hardships that I go through. I laugh easily. Humor and optimism comes naturally despite of heartaches and broken dreams.
2012 was a life changing year for me and my family. We finally said goodbye to a house that was our home for 6 years. So much memories of both the good and the bad. It was where my son first learned how to walk. It was a place where we shared our first adventures. So much laughter as well as tears. It was not an easy goodbye but we needed to start fresh and gain back our life. Somehow the dreams we hoped then were no longer the dreams we want in the present. It was time to move on and just gain back the life we always dreamt us a family. No turning back, just looking forward with hope and faith.
New Year, New Hope, New Beginnings
Today, I share a smaller house with my son and wife but it is a home. A home with new dreams and new beginnings. A home where I can start with a clean slate and be happy once again. We celebrated our first Christmas in it and it was beautiful.
In less than 24 hours, we will greet the new year with renewed heart and spirit. With that in mind, I share with you my wish list for 2013. A wish list I also dream for everyone especially for those who needed them the most.
My son made this for his mom on Valentine’s Day. It now hangs on our kitchen to remind us that in anything and everything, “Love is all we’ll ever need.”
I always remind myself, “Leave the bad things behind and take with you all that is good.” These fellas came to our new home. They are my son’s comfort stuffed toys at night. The penguin still stays in his bed together with Mr. snowman he got this Christmas from a very good friend at work. Each one has a name, with a story and a beautiful memory that makes me smile every time I remember them.
Making a marshmallow calendar and counting the happy and fun times ahead.
My Wish List For 2013
1. I wish for happiness that comes from the innermost part of one’s heart. Happiness that brings a smile no matter how the day turned out to be. Happiness from having less and living more.
My son was so happy when we told him we were heading for Lego Land. He had no idea that his birthday wish was coming true. When I see him laugh and just exudes with happiness, I often tell myself, “I used to laugh and feel like that when I was a kid. Perhaps it’s not to late to be like that all over again.” In this photo, he’s pretending to be a shark and was chasing me inside the wave pool.
Capturing and being a part of moments like this…priceless!
March of this year, I stand along with hundreds of people from different countries, making a final step in becoming an American. We have different cultures, languages, life’s experiences but that day, we shared something in common. We were all pursuing a dream. A dream that can easily be forgotten by the wrong, lavish securities in life. That day, I was reminded of why I left everything I knew and ventured into a foreign land. I was reminded that my dream is to pursue life, liberty and happiness. Dreams that sounded easy but hard to reach in this complicated, materially driven, “instant gratification” world. Sometimes it’s easier to run away from the truth and reality but one day we need to face them. I faced mine. It wasn’t fun but I’m glad I took the first step.
Everyday, I strive to work harder to gain back my life. Everyday, I try to break every chain that took my inner freedom and peace. Everyday, I continue to find bits of happiness that one day I hope to glue together as one piece of a most treasured puzzle.
I wish to find magical moments like this. My son met a sand dragon during one of our trips at Galveston beach. For a brief period of time, I was able to set aside worries and just enjoy the day. For most of us, that’s all we’ll ever need to feel renewed. I am thankful for having the chance to experienced these moments.
2. I wish for love, peace, unity, forgiveness and healing from all sorts of chaos, anger, war, bitterness, sickness, misery, grief and loss.
I took this photo last March while island hopping with my family in the Philippines. The water was so calm and peaceful. Somehow its effect rippled straight into my restless heart. I wish for the same healing for all who search for solitude.
We saw the worst Christmas tragedy and horror in many parts of the world. Tragedies whose effects continues to haunt those who survived and the families of those who didn’t make it. I wish and pray that 2013 will be a year of healing. A year of starting fresh and making bright beginnings. A year that brings more joy and less of sadness.
3. I wish for a world where children are free to believe, to play and laugh generously. A world where they feel safe. A world that treats them with love and respect. A world that embrace what is good and true. A world that will give them a chance to enjoy their childhood and guide them to reach for their dreams.
One of the happiest place is a children’s playground. Kids laugh without restraint, running back and forth, just having the most amazing time playing. This photo was taken in Florida where we had an unforgettable Summer.
Children need to see that the world around them as beautiful. A place where happiness is real and not just a story we tell them.
4. I wish to create more amazing memories and adventures with my family. To enjoy life’s surprises with them in the most meaningful way.
My son went snorkeling in Boracay Island for the first time. He was so excited. The waters were a bit rough but he was so excited to care. I was the one who was scared for him. Children know when they are safe. They know that their parents will shield and protect them from anything.
5. I wish to find my way back to my faith. To grow spiritually. To embrace what is good. I made so many detours and lost my way so many times. But this year, events in my life and the world around me opened my eyes and heart to what is important in this lifetime.
I caught my sister in deep thoughts. Everything around her seems peaceful. A perfect place to pray and listen to God’s words. Not long ago, I sat close to the waters searching for answers and just listening for that inner voice of guidance.
6. I wish to travel more to the places where I had the happiest childhood and to share them with my son who know begins to appreciate the gift of having a big family. To spend as much time with my parents, my siblings and their growing families in person. To just stop, reflect, renew and remember my reasons of joy. Of what calms and soothes my soul at the end of the day.
My son taught me to see life as a big adventure.
I asked my dad, “I want to go back to Basiao where you brought me and my sisters when we were in high school.” He looked surprise. When we got there, it felt like time stopped and kept all the magic I felt and remembered when I was younger. It felt good to go back and just remember how beautiful life was. It felt comforting to know that I always have a family to go back to despite of the many changes I had in my life.
First day with his cousins during our trip to the Philippines last March 2012.
7. I wish to continue to share my world with my blogger friends. To build a community that supports and inspires each other. A community that reaches out to the four corners of the globe. We can make this world smaller and reachable if we try.
Two years ago, I had no idea what blogging is. All I know is that I want to give something back. Something within me wants to express and create in words and images a version of a better world. A world where you don’t have to feel alone anymore. A world where everyone understands and accepts your struggles without judgement. A world where you can share your innermost pain without fear. A world where you can have a friend who accepts you without conditions. Going through the comments of my blogger friends, I see that world slowly forming, building and making a difference for others. Knowing that gives me a reason to smile and be inspired in my blogging journey.
Thank you to all who shared their world with me. I appreciate and treasure your generous, encouraging and kind comments. Thank you for the constant support and the many smiles you all brought to my day. Thank you for giving me those awards that keeps me motivated.
Sorry if this post is not all about fun and joy but life is like that. Sometimes we’re up and dancing on the clouds while other times we’re surrouned by gloom and just hides behind those clouds.
I wish you all an amazing New Year full of blessings. Blessings of happiness, good health, hope, peace, of total freedom and realization of your most cherished dreams.
Let’s raise our glass, welcome and celebrate 2013.
Happy New Year to everyone!
What’s your wish list for 2013? What is your blogging goal for the New Year? Whatever they are, I hope they bring you happiness and bring you closer to your dreams.
Today, discover the inspiring world of these blogger friends. Their zest for life, their families, their environment and most of all their faith are priceless treasures that will bring a smile to your day.

Wow Island Traveler how profound are your heart words ……Something within me wants to express and create in words and images a version of a better world. A world where you don’t have to feel alone anymore. A world where everyone understands and accepts your struggles without judgement. A world where you can share your innermost pain without fear. A world where you can have a friend who accepts you without conditions.
This is the Unity God talks about in the Bible in referance to His True Church, it is World wide, it has people from all differant Nations and Denominations, but it is not the counterfit world wide church but His one were showing Unity in Love, giving and receiving, even being willing to correct in Love if needed and to risk in openess and honesty and giving Love not just in words but shown in actions, and all these are always apparent and empowered by The Holy Spirit..
We too have had major problems our dear friend, not just in Blogging but in our personal lives, some are still unresolved but through it all God has strengthened us. Like you we are more focused, I also see a greater awarness in your sharing Island Traveler that Faith in a Loving God is very important…. How good is this!
We Love you in The Lord dear Brother, you are part of God’s family and so ours too.
Christian Love from both of us – Anne.
My friend, you and Ron are a blessing to us all. You share God’s words in the most personal way that all of us are able to relate in our own lives. I hope you don’t mind that I’m sharing here your inspiring words from your recent post, “Each year is washed away by the tides of life but their imprint remains in our heart, let’s focus on all that is of God and is good, being thankful for the Pearls that come from this worlds affliction, trials, hardship and trouble, not rejoicing in the things that cause us to suffer but in knowing God strengthens as we go through them and works everything out for good and His Pearls that remain give us His inner Joy Eternally. ” A beautiful way to start 2013. We all needed to read this and live them in our hearts. God bless you both. Happy New Year!

My Best Wishes for 2013, Happy New Year!!
Thank you. I apologize for the delayed comments. Been working for almost a week. Wishing you and your family a great New Year.
Always remember your blessings. Your awareness of that is very evident in your words and pictures. Always remember that once you have found your faith in God, that faith will never leave you, no matter how weak or far away you may feel.
God bless you in the new year.
My friend, this is an inspiring thought to remember always, “. Always remember that once you have found your faith in God, that faith will never leave you, no matter how weak or far away you may feel.” Thank you. God bless and wishing you and your love ones a wonderful New Year.
It must be so hard to leave your native land and go somewhere where you are a stranger. Downsizing? The big dreams, but also the big debts. Your little boy making his marshmallow calender. He can do that anywhere so long as you and your wife are there with him. It seems such a happy home.
Bless you all. I struggle with faith too. A close friend’s husband is terminally ill and I’m not in party mood this New Year. Happy to spend it with blogging friends and a loving husband. Happy to raise a glass to you, sir. Thank you for all that you give.
Thanks Jo. I wish I have a family here in the U.S. when me and my wife started. Perhaps then we didn’t have to make those mistakes but God always has reasons and though we can’t explain them, we hope they are for the best in the end. Yes, I’m downsizing as early as now. Another mistake is getting a house beyond your budget. It’s easy to confuse the “American Dream” with having material wealth. I forgot why I even came to the U.S. but reality bit me hard and now my priorities are different. My parents taught me that by being simple and humble , it is easier to find happiness and contentment. They are so right. Wishing for all of us a better, brighter 2013.
Today may there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.
May you use the gifts that you have received and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
I always enjoy your posts, IT, and may all your dreams and wishes have wings in 2013
Thoughts that warms the heart. Thank you Marianne. I hope 2013 will bring all of us this wishes and hopes. To sing, dance, praise and love. To find happiness and inner peace. Happy New Year. God bless you and your family.
Hope 2013 is wonderful for you and your family.
Thank you. I hope so. Wishing you a great 2013!
Home is where the heart is…and you’re there!
Happiest of times wished to you in 2013 and beyond.
Thanks Angeline. Yes, home is where the heart it. If I only I knew that sooner. Ha, ha, ha. It’s not to late to simplify life and pursue what’s meaninful in this life. Happy New Year!
May all your wishes come true. Happy New Year to you and to all your loved ones!
Thanks Beb. Wishing for all of us many days where our dreams comes real and happiness follows wherever fate will leads us. All blessings to you and your family.

Sometimes the gloom tries to take over. You have a beautiful family and a kind, gentle heart. Let gratitude chase away the gloom and fill that gentle giant heart with joy. May your new year be filled with love and so much happiness. May your worries be few. Happiest of New Years, IT. Hang on to faith and hope and HAVE FUN. ~ Gemma
Thanks Gemma. That is a beautiful wish for 2013. I do hope 2013 is all that. As I get older, I realized happiness is not measured by anything material but by how much you love and your are loved. Family, friendship, faith in God, these are priceless treasures on Earth. Have a great New Year my friend.
Somehow, now matter where you go, or what the circumstances, I see you finding the good in all things. It is a joy to come and read your posts. You love life and share the wonderful moments with us. They are rare jewels, Mr. B, and we are grateful to you for allowing us to be a part of your life, and to share in your view of the world at large. May God continue to bless you and yours in 2013!
Thank you Linda. I appreciate the generous, kind comment. I grew up where family means a lot and faith as a center of everything. I am guilty of being lost for while here in America but now I am drawn back to what is really important in my life. There’s no day that I don’t wish that I am back in the Philippines and my son learning first the gifts of his roots. Perhaps one day soon. God bless you and your family.
My husband often says that we are put right where God wants us to be, because we have a job to do or something to learn. We do not always understand His intention for our lives, but when we open our heart we eventually we figure it out.
Thanks for sharing your unforgettable journey.
Thank you. Every journey is more meaningful when we share them with others.
Thank-you for this wonderful list of heartfelt desires. I think it captures what is in our soul. I hope many positive changes do occur. I hope you have the best year yet. I try to stay positive too, but I think it is OK to show a weak side. We are just human. Blessings to you and your family.
Thanks Angelia. I agree, as humans, we have our trials to bear. It’s not always sunny although we wish it is. There are times that clouds will hover above us and we can’t escape sadness. As for weakness, I believe each of us experience them but not everyone is ready to show that vulnerability. As for me, I realized that it’s one way of accepting who we are. We are imperfect but our family and our faith completes us. God bless you and your family.
beautifully written as always … have a wonderful year .. Bright Blessings to you all
my contribution this week … http://the-serenity-space.com/2012/12/31/weekly-image-of-life-wishes-for-2013/
My friend, you shared the most beautiful wish there is for all when you explained what health, wealth and happiness, “To me it means a healthy life and way of looking at the world. Self-awareness.
Wealth of spirit, generosity, love and laughter. Wealth in life and living.
Happiness in being able to access what is necessary and what fills the heart and soul with healthy pleasure.
Contentment, satisfaction, courage and determination to succeed in achieving what our desires are. To live fully the life we have been given. To walk the path of our life’s journey with strength and openness, leaving our small mark upon the world. Knowing that we each have the opportunity to leave this beautiful planet a little better and richer for having us in it.” You have a pure heart that is generous and hopes for a better world for all. Love is a priceless gift we could share to anyone for 2013. A love that is willing to offer a hand for someone in need. A love that is willing to work hard for peace. Happy New Year to you and your family. Thank yo
thankyou so very much for your beautiful comment

Thank you Christine. If I can only turn back time, I wish I opened my heart and eyes to what is real and true sooner but past is past. I have a chance to change and follow a path that may not be popular but filled with meaningful faith. We live in world where vanity, power, material wealth is worshipped by many and it is easy to be blinded by them. It may be a hard road but it’s worth every sacrifice. Wishing you and your family love, peace and happiness.

APRIL
Thank you April. When I was younger, I am a bit embarrassed to share something personal but then I realized there is something beautiful about being able to share both your strength and weakness. That it is okay to be vulnerable. That it is okay to make mistakes and be imperfect because in all these God draws me to seek his help and guidance. Going through all these made me realize I needed him all the more. God bless you and your family always. To a great 2013!
Beautifully expressed as always. I wish you much health and happiness in your new home – its important to remember that bloggers can share both the good and the sad times.
Thank you my friend. It is really a blessing to have a blogger community that supports each other through the best and the worst. Our world needs more people who goes an extra mile to help, reach out, express kindness and show thoughtfullness.

An inspiring wish for 2013, “A stronger sense of balance.” I wish to embrace as well your wish for this year. A stronger person in all aspects of my life. It may take some sacrifices but I bet what waits at the finish line is worth it all. Thanks for the motivation and for the great post. Have a fun weekend.
I love the picture of the boys jumping on the beach … and the one of them sitting in the water. Best wishes as you work to accomplish your goals!
That was my son and his cousins. He had the most amazing Summer. Family makes everything fun. Thank you. Best wishes to you and your family.
Great photos and sentiments. I liked the water slide pics from your other post and especially the card your son made for your wife. On an old family video, my son said to me, “I’m four and I love you!” He’s eighteen now, in college and training with ROTC for the army). I will treasure that little boy forever.http://bmoreenergy.wordpress.com
Thank you. They will always remain that loving, innocent kid in our hearts no matter how old they get. Wishing you and your family a blessed day.

Thanks Patricia. Your words are always comforting and comes from a heart of faith. I am blessed no matter how life turned out to be. I made mistakes. Big ones but there’s so much good around me that they are mere distractions to what really awaits. That gives me hope. God bless you and your family.
