smiling faces after the climb...with Rachel
Premonition: 
Another Day of Reflection

I had a premonition experience after the foggy day that I have no expectation from an activity I am joining with.

I know it was an experience of premonition but can somebody define it for me?

Saturday September 7,2013
The adventure I had was one you could have in a lifetime. It was such a great time sharing it with group of young mountaineering  professionals ,graduating students and a few free lancers. The organized activity, was  an in land adventure, hours of  river trekking water falls hopping and mountain climbing.
It was incomparable. It was a bone and muscle anatomy breakage pain. 
Although the call for feeding  was  quite delayed, the hosted dinner was superb. Eat all you can, order your drinks with free platter of roasted pig. Again what made the social night alive and kill all the body pains with  adrenaline rush was the beat from Nairud sa Wadab  reggae band.

The first song and last song rendered was Safe and Sound by Rebelution and Redemption Song by Bob Marley. I find the songs meaningful. That night, I thank the Lord for the day that I dedicated my affairs in Him with no expectations. It was a day of renewed energy.

That night I also thank the resort owner for the warm accommodation  given to us. I notify her that I will be leaving after the morning  sun rise.

Sunday September 8,2013

I worship with nature. This is my advocacy. I thank God I have my family who support my cause. As what I always say to my children " I have no hectares of land to be bequeathed but the mountains, rivers and all nature forms we can leave on... just  Respect nature"

As I tried to stand up from where I am sited, an inexplicable force was pulling my feet to stay. Still contemplating on leaving thinking my waiting children at home, my instinct to stay prevailed.

I abide with my feelings, with submission of what purpose it may serve me if i will stay.
I took pictures of the morning activity. It was fun.
When the call for time to pack things up for jump off, i bid my farewell. Of course to my nature friends... butterfly, dragon flies, smiling rocks, flock of blue birds, the water that flows ,the air I breath and the tree where I sat beside.

Despite warnings of time constraint, some still continue to enjoy the benefit of water adventure. Six were rescued while one life was taken to take proof of what force of nature can bring. 

I saw how a whirlpool hit Rachel.  Joining our hands together, we asked for His mercy.
"Lord our Creator of all things, have mercy on us. Bring her back to us, we ask for your miracle, for your forgiveness for  our shortcomings, We need her back, Have Mercy On Us! Keep your water calm.....We will abide with your Will, Have mercy on us!". 
All were in tears.

I am not a religious leader but that time calls for my command to cry for mercy.

We were made to believe that Rachell was revived at the hospital. We were all grateful before we left our camp site. On our way home, we were informed that she passed away. The happy faces on us turned into  mourning hearts.

Rachell
She was the one who lead the group in prayer for our protection and safety when we started our river trek. And was the last who posted for a selfie shot at Cahatan Falls.(According to the trek swiper)
She was the first to arrive at the camp site to welcome participants and the last to use the shower room after all have finished the day end activity.(According to the resort owner)
She was the first lady I saw at the river bank when I had my morning prayer. She was the last rescued participant who was hit by the rushing flood water.

We did our prayer between 14:36  to 15:00 pm pht .

What I got from our memory of her,.. the first and the last....

As we pray together with the survivals, I told them that what happened was beyond anybody's control. It's God's will. Maybe the message was we acknowledge God's power over His creation.... water... our source of life.

Revelation 21:6
Then he told me, "It has happened! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will freely give a drink from the spring of the water of life to the one who is thirsty. 

Redemption Song
...
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won’t you help to sing
This(not another) songs of freedom
‘Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.


An article stated...,

"Remember that premonitions that show a death or dying do not always mean that there will be an actual physical death.  They can also indicate an extreme change in an individuals belief system, the completion of a relationship, the loss of a career or job, or the loss of something of great meaning to the individual concerned.
There is a difference between an actual premonition of death and another.  Some are for the sole purpose of preventing a death."

How will you define it for me?

A Foggy Friday Morning.
September 6,.2013

I Got No Expectations.

I  have been in a series of waterfalling adventure with few friends and most of the time with a company of a local guide. This time it will be with an organizer, Apo Sandawa, a mountaineering club.

I am excited but got no expectations because the adventure trek is different from my planned waterfalling in Imamaling, Magpet ( http://www.facebook.com/rinapadua ).

As of this time, Registration is going  on. I'm already within the site.

I got no prepared...Food, Tent and Whatever....

But my bag carries the following:


    1.My outdoor clothes which my children call it "my uniform" 2pcs black leggings,
       3black shirts,bandana, jacket
    2. Warmers ( blanket, socks, mittens, head cap)
    3. Plastic sheets
    4. Water Canteen , spoon & fork, 120ml food  container, aluminum cup

   And my heart carry this prayer;

" I have risen this morning by Thy Grace, O Lord My God, and left my home trusting wholly in Thee and committing myself to Thy Care. Send down, then, upon me, out of the heaven of Thy Mercy, a blessing from the side, and enable me to return home safety even as Thou didst enable me to set out under Thy protection with my thoughts fixed steadfastly upon Thee.

There is no other God but Thee, the One, the Incomparable, the All-Knowing, the All Wise".---Baha'u'llah.
