a quiet resort

a cold, rainy morning at pannzian resort at pancian, ilocos norte

after a full day's travel through region II, we finally arrived at ilocos norte. we stayed at pannzian resort where my cousin once poured her time and effort in helping paint and design the place. the owner is really nice and very committed to her passion in creating a place for family and helping the community to be self-sustainable. i also got the biggest smile during dinner when the owner, while talking to us, referred to me and said "bagay ka dito with your happy disposition!" (thank you, tita bing!) i guess if i need a new job, i could stay here even without pay. that was how peaceful that place was and how soothing for a heavy heart like mine. work was still weighing heavily in my heart during the holidays. the dreary weather during this period was a balm to a heavy heart and for a time, i felt quiet and peaceful. but still, we have to be happy, right? turn to the Lord and everything will be alright. :)

i wish i could re-live that peacefulness here in manila. i can't wait to be there again, just to be quiet --- and happy.
