Taiwan Escapade

One of my goal in my life is to travel.  This is the only escapade that can help me to refresh from stress  and payoff of my hardwork.  I feel like Ideserve something great for myself so this is the way to celebrate my blessing. 

Fortunately, sometime on March 20-25, 2019, I had the privilege to travel in Taiwan.  In terms of travelling to other countries, I am so much aware of  ”Visa regulation. " Actually I dislike the thought of applying for Visa because I had been disapproved for two times.  So, when my group of friends, told me that Taiwan's visiting visa was dismissed in order to attract tourism in their country, I took this opportunity to travel with them. 

Taiwan actually is the last country that I explored so far, before the ncov19 became epedemic around the globe. 

 I was spoiled with their incredible attractions and been trapped in every characteristics of perfection of each nature we’ve visited. I also observed their foods, taste them all deliciously except sea foods, which i am allergic to it. 😂.. Upon touching down the said country, we directly went to Shelingpark in Taipie.  Some pictures here was our daily tour included in our travel package.  Be with me in this journey, my friends.

Thank you so much for having time and part of A Maiden's Testimony travel journey.  Enjoy reading!

=Betrayal =

     Betrayal caused us trouble and struggle, that sometimes our relationship shall be in suffering situation. In every journey we have, we met different people, they came to leave footprints in our life.  

       I just want to share my testimony of having experienced of being betrayed by a friend. A friend  been part in my life for almost 3 years, wherein she attained my trust.  We have a lot of good memories and the most part that I never forget about her was, she is openly shared mostly her past that made me felt comfortable.  Along of our friendships I also discovered something about her good behavior, how she fight her life for her family.  But despite of some good things I've noticed there are some characteristic that I really felt dismay.  

  
    Anyways, being betrayed is one of a reason why I become more careful in choosing a friend, I put boundaries to protect myself.  I believe these circumstances happened to me lately, are part of my refinery and maturity.

     Unfortunately, when my birth month was approaching, I ended up in the situation of being bitterness due to the unfaithfulness of a friend. This is the most downfall birthday that I had; I suffered physically and emotionally. I wasn't able  to protect myself and never been wise in dealing some transactions from her. I realized that the TRUST, INTEGRITY and CREDIBILITY i worked for a long time, was in trouble. Facing this kind of dilemma made me vulnerable. 

I don't know what I gonna do, as maybe people been involved in the said scenario.  Do I need to choose my integrity? or to protect someone who is in trouble? I decided to obey the words I heard from them, though, it was against my heart,  “white lies”, is a word of saving someones dignity. In this stage, I thank my bosses for their brain storming, helping me and comforting me in my helpless spot. 

     Once in our life, we don’t know what happened or why all this thing happened to us.

   Sometimes, we become the subject and willing victim, that caused us to destruction and we never noticed that our positive journey should be affected.  In life, we need to learn the lesson, and be settled of what we believed.  I affirm that our wisdom can help us to overcome every complication we are facing in our progress of ability.  The most important is we value to learn more from every mistakes we have.  

    Enjoy reading and thank you so much for catching your time reading a Maiden’s Testimony.!  💖

This stage was the start point of learning and exploring to interact socially with friends, classmates and other people. When I was in 3rd year highchool, i was separated with my 2 bestfriend lilia and janet as i was assigned in a lower section. 😂 Of course, i felt sad, but i need to move on.  Until, i met Anita and Gerita, as we are seatmates  in the same row, until we've become friends.

My First Devotional for March 2019

James 1:12 Blessed is eh man that endureth temptation; for when he is tried, shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hat promised to them that love Him.

Application:

In every  temptation and difficult that we have in life, we know that only god can help us.  Trusting  and believing God in the midst of our hardship, He promised us for a crown in heaven, because of our faith with Him.  Obeying the word of God is help us and guide us to a right path and to every decision that we are about to do.  In every trials and temptation is one of a way in testing and maturing  our faith.  In every difficulty we have God is the one who gives us wisdom how to handle everything.  So stay firm of your faith to God as I do as well.

My prayer.

Dear God, my beloved Father, thank you so much for everything, may you help me and protect me and my family from any harm and temptation.  Guide me always in every decision that I have, help me to do good and right things that will glorify your name.  I honor you God and thank you so much for crowning me of your tenderkindness love, mercy and favor.  Thank you Lord Jesus for healing and freedom.  Amen.

Travel Mania

One of the most highlight that I experienced before the end of 2018 is the Christmas holiday vacation in Bohol, Cebu, Oslov and Sumilon Island which was sponsored by our bosing bottom line.

blood compact

It was my first time to visit Bohol that feels me excited.  I heard a lot about this place because of its famous different and historical tourist spot they have.  Bohol is rich of different kind of beautiful and amazing scenery.  Like, beaches, Chocolate Hills, Hinagdanan Cave, Lobok Cruise, Exotic Animals , Tarsier, Manmade Trees and other historical spot, like Old churches.  Actually, we visited all of this except the Exotic Animals, because of the hard rain, so we decided to go the Hinagdanan Cave.  Pictures maybe in the next post that I gonna share with you guys.

Our first day in Bohol, we spent our time in Alona Beach, I and my daughter enjoyed the white sand seashore and crystal sea water.  It was an irresistible experience with the nature which makes my spirit free.  I really love to stay long in the clean sea blue and crystal water, but since, the sunset gradually drowns  we end up our swim and change our wet clothes.  We decided to take our dinner in one cozy restaurant.  After dinner, we look something for fun, and our feet entered in a videoke bar.  Singing actually is one of the most I love.. sorry folks..hahaha..but anyways, they enjoyed so much when I song my favorite music... hahaha..

After the concert we tried the most selling and all-time favorite of boholanos Halo Mango, which makes us mesmerized because of the most delightful taste that I ever love.  Overall, I really enjoyed and nourished this blessing that I had.  I want to thank God for the favor and for providing all our needs.







Ended we have a great bohol escapade...and we are ready for out next destination...CEBU CITY.





Thank you so much for dropping by here in a maiden's testimony and hope you enjoy travelling with us.  

Thank you so much 2018!

Dear 2018,

     Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to enjoy my journey for the whole year .  You make my life more excited and more favored.    When 2018 knocked, God blessed me abundantly, that  I nourished and enjoyed.   He blessed also my heart in giving, and it was my privilege to support with those I am praying for.  I am so thankful to become a good steward of the blessings that I have, He shouldered all the needs of my daughter in school and  I thank God for the processed healing of my daughter and my son's situation.

  In the middle of this year my soul had been tested of relationship that I never expected.  I opened the door to someone which caused me so much pain but it given me hope because of testing of my faith and obedience.   God you  know, how weak I am, but you make me strong, you gave me wisdom to understand the situation and you help me to decide the right thing to do.  Another  test was my relationship with my friends, I was hurt because I truly love them but I need to accept the truth because of them, I learned a lesson that helps me to be strong and to be trusted.  Though I am not comfortable every time we talked, yet, I still love them and respect them.  I still thank them because in my journey, they contribute a bigger part in my life.

   Closing the door of the said wrong relationship helps me a lot, it gave me freedom to forgive and forget. Obeying you Lord, is one of the greatest test of my faith.

  Thank you so much despite of my shortcomings, you reminded me that I am so much love and you promised me to  endure my life forever.

Ended, my journey 2018 is favored, and I am blessed for experiencing the love of God, and helping me in everything.  I cannot do it alone, thank you  my Heavenly Father for being with me in times of difficulty, trouble and problems.  You never leave me alone, you make me stronger, you gave me wisdom, knowledge and understanding.  Thank you for shielding my heart with joy, peace and love.

Crowning me your tender kindness love, mercy and favor in my next journey of life in this coming 2019, including my daughter, son, mother, sister, brother and his family, my loveone and friends.

Now, I welcome 2019!! with more abundance of blessing, favor and love!!!

Sincerely,

Star Chuu

Music Monday- Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough

There is no perfect relationship if you are not meant with each other.  Loving someone is not enough, you need to to let it go and accept your fate.  Love is not a fairy tale that we seen in the movie, it is an irony to the journey we have.  The perfect love that can give to us is the love of our great father above.

I want to dedicate this song for someone that once in my life, he became part of my journey of love.  I have no regret of the love we shared before, and I truly cherished our memories. To the man that I love, if you happen to cross in my home page, don't forget to play this song.  This is for you, and I wan't to say thank you for a short time that we shared, you made me happy.

Thank you so much for having time in a Maiden's Testimony.

Adventure Blast Day 1: Albay-Bicol Region

I am so blessed to have an extended family in Manila who help me and offered me a private car with driver for our travel together with mommy Cora.  Of course, I thank the coupled joy and jay for extending their heart to let us borrow their motor vehicle. 

 Well, travelling from Manila to Bicol Region took 9 hours. We travel at 7pm and we arrived the place at 6 in the morning of November 4, 2018 and we had take our bed rest first before we decided to go to the place that we shall visit.

This is my first time to have a solo adventure, I feel excited to myself because of being alone, no group of friends with me, but i am so much glad that I have one who become my best buddy ever.  I want to say thank you mommy cora for being my best partner. This is the most adventurous and joyous journey of my holiday blast.  Maybe because being alone in this journey, you are connected with yourself.  I realized that travelling is not necessary who is with you, who are around you and who are your companion.  The most important is you enjoy yourself in every activities you have and your connection with the one who blessed you.  I actually amazed this journey of mine, I believe God arranged it everything for me. I did not experience difficulty for my travel, everything is set, the car, the driver, the place where i stay and the people that will help me on the duration of my adventure.  See, how God loves and blesses me.  Thank you Lord, for your kindness and for giving me angels everytime I took my vacation. You always reminds me  that I am your daughter, the heirs of this world, and you have given me the opportunity to  explore the world and be happy.  Thank you my Heavenly Father for everything.

God creation is beautiful and great, I was amazed of the place we  visited. On the first day of my Bicol blast holiday.  We went to  Mayon Skyline, located in the halfway to the peak on the Eastern slope of Mayon Volcano. it such a very nice place for refreshing, I enjoy the fresh air, peaceful huge of nature, cool and very relaxing place.

I found myself enjoying the breeze and a perfect place to rest.  I am captivated of the following scenery around this beautiful nature of Mayon Volcano, although he hide from the clouds, I believe that He possess a very important characteristic that is why He is famous and became the first attraction in the place of Bicol.  

Here are some of my enjoyable pose and I can say it Perfect Nature blast~~
