Everything is Different

Fast forward. 06.06.2022! Involuntary halt. Empty contents. Nothing to go back to. Reminiscent.

Breakfast in Bali

Time Check... 7 am. I am not where I need to be. Trees rather than papers. Breeze rather than confinement. Longing for freedom. 

Pandemic - A Year After

 It has been a year since the lockdown. How is everyone? I hope you and your loved ones are still safe. With the rate our Government is handling the pandemic, we are in for a long haul. God help us.

Lockdown

It's Day 1 of Lockdown due to COVID19 Pandemic. My generation has not seen something like this. May God help us.

Hang In There!

Mountain Province : Climbin' Mount Kupapey

View from the Top

Mount Kupapey is one of the two most-often climbed mountains of Maligcong. It's a moderate two-hour trek from the base where the Elementary School is located. It is best to start your climb around 4 in the morning so you could watch the sunrise and the sea clouds over the rice terraces of Maligcong.

Zambales: Revisiting Nagsasa Cove

Paraiso

It was my second time in Nagsasa Cove. The first time was in the heat of summer about half a decade ago when I went there with my travel buddies. This time, it was a rainy camping trip with some of my office buddies. What has changed?

Rizal : Pinto Museum

Bagets on Stairs

It's a massive collection of modern art - painting, sculptures, art pieces scattered all over an old Spanish Hacienda. Every nook and cranny is instagrammable. Good for a couple of hours wandering!

Batangas: Matabungkay

Serenity

Classic. Nothing fancy, nothing great. Just the same old classic feel that has endured beach-goers for generations. Matabungkay of the 70s is still the same as Matabungkay of the 2010s.

Aurora: Dipaculao

Cast in Stone

Geographically, it is no longer Baler but Dipaculao in Aurora. The best place to wait for the sunrise in err, Baler, is in Ampere Beach.

I know, I was few minutes too late to catch the best lights, but then again, the hurling wind brushing on face as I rush riding a bike was a consolation worth savoring.
