Day 14~ August 14th~ Boracay
Being alone in our world today is a luxury that my soul yearns for everyday. There are so many parts of ourselves that need us to check in with them that not doing so can cause so much undue stress. The alone moments I take for myself everyday cause such a great sigh of relief…

‘Abandoned’, and interesting word. If you like to anagram words as I often like to do, then you will find this: abandoned = a dead boon. A boon is a blessing or something to be thankful for among other definitions. So when we humans abandon something, do we stop being thankful for it and for…

Day 12~ August 12th~ Boracay
A very strange phenomenon I have encountered repeatedly is with the fear islanders have of the sea or it might be a great awe of the mysterious waters. I keep finding out that locals that live near the sea or ocean never really go into it with the exception of fishermen and sailors. Even in…

Day 6~ August 6th~ Boracay
Do you ever go to a new place and feel that you want to attribute a color to it. Despite the crystal blue waters, the brilliant white sands, and the thick green forests of Boracay, the color that impressed itself on me after my visit was yellow. photo taken: rickshaw driver at night in Boracay
