    Get-away adventure

    You may or may not know I have a slight obsession with nature and traveling.

    So, let me start and take you back 2 weeks from now.

    When music ministry peeps pulled it off from the morning service and decided to meet around 13:30hr (which never really happens!) we knew exactly that we will be late to what we planned. (which always happens) lol

    Finally at 15:00-ish the engine turned on and bee-lined to Dukhan with a goofy smirks for a little date with my loves (sun and ocean) . 10 cars convoy to beach. good music on.

    we came at 16:00-ish. I was literally shouting at the passenger seat when i saw the very peaceful ocean. Makes it prettier as the sun reflects to it.

    There was something urgent in the way i felt during that quick drive. I told to my self “i needed this”. The second I hit the sand, i ran for the water.

    Gentle waves tickled my feet. The warm ocean breeze tried to tell me that summer is approaching. ~there’s something about being outdoors with nature that soothes the soul. It felt oh-so-good to be outside in the fresh air, away from the city. Unexplainable but absolutely satisfying.

    Suddenly i looked around and saw my personal pet peeve. HAHA. Ok, so i hated this slimy-looking-dead jelly fish. Why i hated it? Well, it’s family member burned my leg (2 years ago). Crap! i still remember the feeling and of course the 2nd-degree-burn ( i guess?, making it super-superlative. lol) Sakit promise! Thank God it didn’t leave a scar, but the feeling does. (Charot! hahaha.. pati sa jelly fish may hinanaket? HAHA)

    So enough from the hatred confession… hehe

    here are some photos of my other loves:

    My family at church. Good people…..

    meet Elijah a.k.a. “nini” :)

    Nenok food from other church mates.. the pancit i think was a left-over from morning service at church and the not-so-meaty puto-poa .. hehe..

    the other kiddos.

    the next photos are some of those “me and nature time” ~my love break <3

    Above the ocean that naps serenely is a beautiful sunset of golden sun-ray beams behind from the lil’ sum of clouds ignoring any signs of rain’s approach. I was so astonished at how gracefully that moment reflects the glory of God.

    mother and child…

    and all of a sudden, the gentle waves begun to change..

    violent sandstorm… (lasted for 5 minutes)

    and it rained ….. awww..

    Coz all the food were swept away by a massive sandstorm, ngsign language si  Baks Maya to spread the news ~will finish our afternoon meal at the nearest McDonalds. wagas an tawa ko. HAHA

    so that’s my story about my recent adventure away from Doha.. Even it took only 1 1/2hr only, it still worth spending.

    All things aside, i can’t really be disappointed with the beach, the wind, the sun, the sand, the rain, the food, the laughter, the beautiful people.. ~a very grand blessing from God that day! <3

    Note: All photos are taken by me thru the oldest BB phone. haha.. i will get my self a descent SLR cam soon so pls bare with me for now. :P
