Ideal Guy

Committing on someone takes a lot of responsibilities, it is vital to commit yourself to the Lord first and prioritize your own progress as an individual. In God's time and will, you will find the righteous person whom He committed for you, for the rest of your life. Knowing your limitations and responsibilities as you take a step into a relationship is necessary. There's no wrong in loving someone, however you might want to set up a standard in finding the right one but you do not forget that once God gave you the right person, soon enough you will realize that "there it goes, he/she's the one I've been long waiting for." 

 So here it is, the characteristics of my ideal guy 

 1. A man of God 

 "Imagine a man so focused on God  that the only reason he looked up to see you is because he heard God say, that's her" As a Christian, he doesn't want all the material things on earth but he wants something that is eternal, his relationship with the Lord. A man of God isn't perfect, but he humbles himself and kneels down in front of the Lord. This man will not speak to your flesh, but your spirit and he will continue to remind you who you are in Christ. 

 2. Knows his priorities

 A guy who knows his goals is good, but a man who knows how to set his priorities is better. He would want to prepare himself for a better and brighter future. He do not want any distractions that would disturb him in achieving his priorities and goals. Perhaps, he continually strive and push his limits to do better. 

 3. Loves his parents 

 "Children, obey your parents for this pleases the Lord."

 - Colossians 3:20 

How a man treats his parents will reflect on how he treats you. Personally, I respect my parents that much that I want someone who will respect them as much as I do. Showing respect and love to your parents nowadays is considered as the old-school type. Especially, millennials would not want any validation from their parents as much as possible, that sums up the reason why sometimes they tend to turn to the wrong path. A man who would obey his parents and knows how to respect them is what I prefer.

The Bucket list

"Wherever you go, becomes a part of you somehow." One of the best way to fill your soul is to travel. By means of travelling, you get to encounter different environment, culture, religion and traditions. If you want  to see unfamiliar things, meet new people, experience a renewed setting and engage into a breath taking scenery you might want to include travelling on your bucket list. 

Here are my top five bucket list-worthy destinations:

 1. Amsterdam, Netherlands

       Amsterdam is the Netherlands’ capital, known for its artistic heritage, elaborate canal system and narrow houses with gabled facades, legacies of the city’s 17th-century Golden Age. Its Museum District houses the Van Gogh Museum, works by Rembrandt and Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum, and modern art at the Stedelijk. Cycling is key to the city’s character, and there are numerous bike paths. 

 2. Maldives

       The Maldives is a tropical nation in the Indian Ocean composed of 26 ring-shaped atolls, which are made up of more than 1,000 coral islands. It’s known for its beaches, blue lagoons and extensive reefs. The capital, Malé, has a busy fish market, restaurants and shops on the main road, Majeedhee Magu, and 17th-century Hukuru Miskiy (also known as Friday Mosque) made of carved white coral.

 3. Hamburg, Germany

        Hamburg, a major port city in northern Germany, is connected to the North Sea by the Elbe River. It's crossed by hundreds of canals, and also contains large areas of parkland. Near its core, Inner Alster lake is dotted with boats and surrounded by cafes. The city's central Jungfernstieg boulevard connects the Neustadt (new town) with the Altstadt (old town), home to landmarks like 18th-century St. Michael’s church.

 4. Okinawa, Japan

       Okinawa is a Japanese prefecture comprising more than 150 islands in the East China Sea between Taiwan and Japan's mainland. It's known for its tropical climate, broad beaches and coral reefs, as well as its World War II sites. On the largest island (also named Okinawa) is Okinawa Peace Memorial Museum, commemorating a massive 1945 Allied invasion, and Churaumi Aquarium, home to whale sharks and manta rays. 

5. Santorini, Greece      

        Santorini is one of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea. It was devastated by a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC, forever shaping its rugged landscape. The whitewashed, cubiform houses of its 2 principal towns, Fira and Oia, cling to cliffs above an underwater caldera (crater). They overlook the sea, small islands to the west and beaches made up of black, red and white lava pebbles.

 One of the best way of motivating yourself to push through your dreams and goals is to find time to overlook to your dream destinations. Continue to strive harder and do better so that you may enjoy life's best reward, travelling.
