Maxene Magalona and Rob Mananquil celebrate 1-year stay in Bali, Indonesia

It looks like Maxene Magalona and her husband Rob Mananquil have finally found their home away from home in Bali, Indonesia.

The couple, who flew to Bali for a supposed retreat last year, ended up being stranded on the island due to the COVID-19 pandemic that led to flight cancellations worldwide.

While the government has since eased the travel restrictions down, both Maxene and Rob have decided to continue their stay as it proved to be a restorative retreat for the couple as they learn more about each other and their relationship in the last 12 months.

“Let go and let God Happy 1 year in Bali!” said Maxene on Instagram today, March 2, 2021.

“This past year has been a true testament of how much beauty and abundance could unfold in your life if you listen to your heart, tune in to the frequency of the universe and strengthen your relationship with God.

“This has definitely been the most eye-opening and soul awakening time of my life, so I just want to express how grateful I am to God for bringing us here and keeping us safe and protected this whole time.”

She added, “This pandemic showed me what truly matters in life, which is our spiritual connection to the Divine. God is the only reason why we are here on earth living and breathing, so it is just right that we worship Him and give Him thanks.”

According to Maxene, her stay in Bali has led her to discover her purpose in life and that it's all rooted in her faith in God.

“Personally, I've discovered that by staying deeply rooted in our faith in God, He will definitely guide us in our life journey,” she explained.

“It's just the same as saying that the universe communicates with us through energy, so if we allow ourselves to vibrate in the frequency of gratitude, abundance, compassion, selfless service, and love, then our life will be filled with those kinds of vibrations.

“It's just up to us to choose the kind of energy we want to be surrounded by. It's up to us to turn to God as He has always just been waiting for us to surrender.

“So go ahead and open your heart to God and be ready to receive His blessings. You deserve it.”

Though Maxene and Rob have not announced when they plan to come back to the Philippines, it seems like the two have eased up with the locals as they share their many experiences in the beautiful island on their Instagram accounts.
