When the view demands #nofilter thanks to the spectacular sunset. Do you love sunsets,too? My cat friend has been consistently coming over this part of the mall, making me find ways to take this route as much as I can. Do you also do that? Change your plans for someone dear to you? and always. Sun salutations with ❄️. Heart-filled, sun-shined, and happiness.
My 2019 is a better version of last year’s heartachy January. I pray it continues to be such as I face a kaleidoscope, that is my heart. And Cavite. Let’s talk about walking and the excitement of each step taken ala-derivé. Have you ever been in that moment? When you just walk and walk and walk with no destination, but a goal to actually reach “peace” that shall not falter nor bring you back to that dark place of loneliness? I have been walking for more than two years now. You see, walking has been a refuge. It has brought me nice encounters with lovely creatures, it also brought me lightness and memories as the speed is just right for me to take a snapshot, sketch a doodle, and talk to someone. Walking is still a favorite activity done daily. I love walking here. Perhaps, to most it does not spark joy (to quote a very popular person thanks to Netflix), but to me it does. I also love walking on top of the hill past midnight. The solemnity of the late night walks (that others would probably crazily tell me NOT TO DO BUT I STILL DO) has been a refuge when all the horrible stories came in last 2017-2018. When stories of people seeing people trying to lure people into believing lies came into my mailbox, I hid in the mountain. [Where stillness is a cute image captured in a snapshot]. I also dare the cold snowstorm to walk in a brilliantly designed changing environment. Seeing life in a barren, white, WONDERland is a blessing. And these birds that fly make me really wonder how they can do it, given that the wind can push me, too. I also walk by the esplanade of Portobello. Probably one of the places I’ll miss. Because aside from the relaxing views of the water, Portobello is a haven of dogs. And heaps of them. So do you also walk and enjoy it?
Longest drive to date, probably. Went back to my favorite laidback weekend [or early weekend as I may say] up in Cavite’s highlands. So many good memories, gone and so many better memories, alive again. Thank “Him” for this possibility of finally being with Ohana in the form of my extended family- my friends. Credits to RP and JB for being my co-pilot, just to calm down my parents. I can drive, obviously. I’ve been going home later than the usual because driving is relaxing for me. [that I added to act as a disclaimer. Send a beep if you see me traverse the road sometimes] Enjoyed a night full of laughter and post-wedding dress-up and “proxy-ready” moments with friends that I kept despite my non-existence for... n-year. Also, celebrating love that I’ve always cherished since I saw it grow in the eyes of Bong and CJ. Nothing compares to a love that withstands the constant hospital hopping. And nothing compares to a love that continuously cared for me, as well, despite the distance. Always grateful for the couple who listened and helped me cope wherever I was in the planet. Thanks you, two!😘 After the nuptials that was impeccably done [we even had booze, chips and post-event “chikahan” in the evening, extending QT With the couple that we absolutely adore]; I finally took a “nap” and continued with the lengthy traverse the following day, making me reach Maragondon in an hour or two [since there were heaps of stopovers in between]. In that trip, I saw views that I will never forget. Because we did get lost and it lead me to this exciting happenstance where views are TDF and photo saturation is natural- no filter. Thank you 2019!
And HELLO TO THOSE WHO constantly visit my page, and read it in succession. I’d say you find my blog exciting, but do avoid if this borders stalking. Because I SEE YOU. And I can. Send me a message if you want to chat. Ciao! In the urban environment, I yearn for life. I yearn for the dialogues gained from the most random places. I yearn for the simplicity of the everyday, in the cuteness- in the shallow thought showers with creatures of the universe.
I yearn for complexity, too. In the bombardment of tasks taken daily. I yearn for the strength in the struggle and the presence of TBF’s along the way. and I obviously love cats. And take photos of them everywhere. And hug them. but yes, I love dogs, too. I can love all of them anyway, because #lovewinseveryday. |
