Writes stories. Goes places. Really good at taking naps.

4, 3, 2, 1

It was summer. It was fun. And for the first time after a long while I started feeling right again. Not like before, no. But not too wrong either.

Mornings and chocolate coma in Tagaytay

All in all, it was an easy and relaxing morning. Perfect for a broken heart seeking comfort from a good friend, good chocolate, and a chilly morning.

Pinto Art Museum and The Pililla Windmills

I really loved the whole place. It's the "God-if-I'm-filthy-rich-my-house-would-look-like-this" kind of love. The structures are beautiful and interestingly phased, doorways (and yeah, I really have a thing for doors and doorways) are framed by foliage, the gardens beckon you to step out under the sun, and there are corners that compel you to sit and stay a while.

From sea to mountain

Month one of 2016 saw me on a weekend trip up North with my STORM loves. Good thing about this? I didn't have to do/plan anything. I just paid my share of the expenses and showed up on time. Best thing about this? I got to spend a weekend with some of the funnest, funniest, craziest people I got the privilege of knowing.

Project Go 2016

To satisfy the need to escape and to avoid recurrence of emotional, uhm, episodes, I have decided to go somewhere or do something (an activity of some sort I wouldn't often do) every month of this year.

Universe unfolding, or, when I keep shaking up my life

Just when everything seems to be making sense, just when my life seems to be going along a great track, my heart l told me to go the opposite direction and I did the most human thing in the world. Overthink. For months.

Anais Nin on Intimacy

"As if you do not care whether your heart will melt or crumble in the process because your brief courage undoes your tremendous fear of disbelief."

Temple running in Siem Reap

Knowing this exchange rate would help you in moments of doubt: $1 = 4,000 Riel. Remember that when a mischievous ten-year-old monk charges you a dollar to use the toilet that costs 500 Riel per use after you tell him you don't have carry the currency.

Weekends at Lingayen Beach

I always go to the beach. This one is one of my favorites with it's wide beach and tempestuous waters.

Mt. Manabu camping

In case my blog and Instagram posts haven't made it clear enough, I will set it straight here: I am a beach person. So, I was surprised when I said "yeah, sure" when one of my friends asked if I wanted to go hiking up with them to Mt. Manabu.
