While “Love Will Keep us Together” was enjoying the top of the charts in the mid-70’s, my mother was painstakingly in labor which ended up in a caesarian, thanks to me settling in a Breech position (feet first). Was I proving to be different that early on? Nah, I think of myself more of a bucketful of contradictions. A feminist who hopes that chivalry would live on…. a frugal but impulsive shopper…. an indecisive gal who takes long to decide on something but almost always still ends up with the wrong choice…. loves to drink but doesn’t like getting drunk yet keeps preaching health and wellness…. a liberal conservative (or vice versa, whatever makes sense)…. a born and raised Catholic who doesn’t thoroughly trust the Bible…. loves to sleep but always stays up late…. etc, etc,.
The facts: I love food/cooking, dogs, plants/gardening, dark chocolates, traveling, beaches, sunrises/sunsets, lifting my dumbbells a couple of times, reading books/watching movies that keeps my mind hyperactive even way after reading/watching it, food, food, food and food (a self-proclaimed glutton). I believe in God and abide by two commandments: to love God and my neighbor. I hate politics, I don’t watch the news anymore, heck I don’t watch tv at all. An all-around music-lover (except metal), mostly inclined to the 80’s and 90’s tunes, but if I do use my mp3 player, you can surely bet it’s either The Secret audiobook I’m listening to or Leo Buscaglia’s. Lastly, I love myself in a healthy, non-egoistic way. I’m sure there are still a lot, but I’m so darn forgetful.
When it comes to travelling, I am a late-bloomer. My awakening happened last year after I finally quit my job which was literally killing me with stress. So much for work-life balance - an over-used, unpracticed phrase. After being a slave for the manufacturing industry for 10 long years, I decided to take a long deserved break and give in to a passion I have long been suppressing – to travel. Here, I would like to share my adventures (and misadventures), and also those of my friends’, to perhaps help other travelers, to entice those who have not gotten their feet wet yet, and of course, to promote tourism. Coz really, the Philippines is such a beautiful place, our beaches alone offer the best in Asia, don’t let the opportunity to visit one of them pass you by.
