Prompts#4-6: Post a picture of a place you've been only once. Imagine you are in that place again. Who are you with? Why are you there? Now post a picture of a place, not necessarily a country or a city in general, that you want to go to. Why do you want to go there? HOW (or by what means) are you going to go there? For the last photo post, show us a picture of yourself - the best one, I guess. Would you fit in the culture of the two places? Where would you fit most? Where would you most likely develop new friends? Lastly, how would you share the blessings that you have to tha place and its people?

RESPONSE

Honestly I have been to Sydney, Australia recently and I guess that's the best answer for this prompt. I was with my sister Joi and we went there for 4 days. The plan is to experience culture, travel and attend a concert.


That's me at the famous Opera House..

NEXT
The place I want to go to.
I have answered this question a couple of times in the past but there were 5 countries I always end up choosing.
1. Paris France. As a hopeless romantic, it is my dream to go there. WHY? To see. To explore. Other than that I guess my reasons are all selfish. This is actually just a childhood dream (Yes, I have childhood dreams of running to Europe. Venice, Milan, Prague, Vatican, London. A girl can dream.right?)



2. Korea- Hmmnn, be a tourist? And erhm, walk the streets of my favorite Kpop artists? This place by all means is the most selfish place I could think of. Then again, experiencing culture is a good excuse right?



3.Kenya - YES, a South African country. WHY? I have no idea. Maybe because it is in my heart that maybe someday I could help the poor and be of good use to other people. If I want to do mission work I want to spread the love of Christ in Kenya. But I am too afraid. I am too weak at my state right now to even help myself.



4. Japan - Yes, as a tourist I want to stop over Japan. Other than that, I know Christianity is not popular here. Then why not open up opportunities of sharing it to someone while maybe going into onsens? LOL.



5. China - I have Sunday School Teachers who are living there right now. They are missionaries. In my heart I want to follow their footsteps. Then again, I am afraid. What if I can't do the call? What if I fail? What if I am not good enough for such a work. I know I will never be worthy. Then again, when will I be worthy?


HOW am I going there? -I have no idea.

THE PICTURE OF MYSELF


LAST QUESTION

Where will I fit most?

Neither.

I guess the best place to fit in is home...


I have always wanted to go back home..

Sharing my blessings at home?
Am I not already doing it? *winks*
Prompt#3: In light of the nearing All Saints' Day, I'd like to know what death means to you. How do you view death?

Mechanics of the Game:

Answer the prompt with i<J in mind.
Your answer can be in the form of an essay, a poem, a picture, an anecdote or just about anything that can be posted on the Internet (for us to see and share).
If you have a blog, you can post it there. Otherwise, Facebook is the best option. Use the Notes section and enter i<J:ournal Prompt#3 as the title.
For photo answers, you can create an album with i<J:ournal as the title. For each picture, caption should be the Prompt#.
Don't forget to tag me, since I'm the only FB friend you have in common. I'll be sharing them on my wall so that others may be blessed and encouraged as well. :)
Lastly, please please please tag your friends who you want to share your insights with - 5 friends will do. On Facebook, where more than half of what we see does not help us live better lives at all, just imagine how we can make a difference in people's lives with a very simple answer to a prompt.
While I may appear biased in this week's prompt, especially because death is one of Ryan Raneses' dearly loved topics, I think it's still nice to know about different opinions on a rarely talked about topic. I'll be looking forward to your responses.

Do check out our i-journal tumble log at http://i-journal.tumblr.com. The prompts and responses are there.

MY RESPONSE





I found this picture in another site and totally wants to share it in this prompt. I might be late in answering prompts now but rest assured I was thinking about it.

Why?

Death has been a delicate topic to me all along.

Not because I am afraid to die but mainly because I have been looking forward to it for so long.

But..

I am still afraid to lose someone close to me.

And the sad part about it is that.. Seperation, more than death is painful
