I decided to post random manifestation stories from my life. I am very fortunate to experience some amazing manifestations through the years without even knowing why those things happened and how they happened until this year when I discovered LOA, and particularly Veronica. 

When I was 11 years old in a remote village in the Philippines, I thought the world was only our village and of course I found out later it wasn't true. To understand my background better, none of my family members had traveled outside of the country except my grandfather, who had been to Guam. Our passport have so many restrictions and one of the most difficult places to travel to is U.S.A. And you have to be wealthy by Philippine standards to travel abroad. 

I knew basic English at that time, but had a hard time understanding English novels. I didn't know what 'abundant' meant, so you can imagine how painful it was to attempt to read an English novel. 

My mom liked to buy 2nd-hand books and brought home a book called, "The Alcatraz Incident". To this date, I only read three pages of that book because I couldn't go further due to my difficulty understanding the words.

So I never knew Alcatraz is a real place. I thought it was a make-believe place. 

Still, I told everyone at school that it was my favorite book and Alcatraz was my favorite place. 

Fast forward many years later, I found myself walking in San Francisco when I saw a Victorian house with a gate that seemed to invite me to enter. Out of curiosity, I entered and discovered that it was both a house with a church in the basement.

The owners of the house were an Irish couple and they were really friendly. They invited me to have some pastries and coffee. I felt very welcome. They had this beautiful patio overlooking San Francisco Bay. It was autumn and the air was cool. I stood there, drinking my coffee. Then I saw an island in the middle of the bay. I pointed to it and asked one of the owners what island that was. The guy owner said, "That's Alcatraz Island."

I nearly spilled my coffee. I was in utter disbelief. It was only then that I discovered Alcatraz was real LOL. I was totally amazed. All these years I never found out that Alcatraz is real, and didn't even bother to look it up on the Internet. Major LOL.  

I remember when I was a kid that I didn't know what I was talking about, but told my friends about a place called Alcatraz. They didn't have any idea about it either but they liked the sound of it. 

I explored Alcatraz Island and cruised around it three times. I saw the prison cells of Al Capone and listened to stories about the most notorious inmates in the U.S. at that time. It's a beautiful and eerily creepy island at the same time. When I stood at the warden's office overlooking the city of San Francisco, I was transported back to my childhood in the Philippines. I thought, how could this happen? Looking back, I couldn't have predicted going to Alcatraz in the future. 

I didn't understand how this manifested in my reality until later. I didn't know what caused it. Now I do.

The universe is magical. It never forgets our desires. It never forgets what we talked about. It simply records and finds ways to give us our true heart's desires. Time doesn't matter. Geography doesn't matter. Where you came from doesn't matter. What matters is what you want.

Trust that what you want will be yours.
