MARARISON ISLAND

I was one of the early risers that morning in an island. I always love to catch the sunrise and watch the sunset when I am on a travel vacation. Unlucky I was that morning because the sun appeared late. I just realized the highest mountain in Antique, the Mt. Madias blocked the morning sunshine. There was a nice view to watch though. The black doves in the seashore caught my attention. It's true, early doves catch the insects.

I missed Mararison island.

ODEL- The dog traveler

Hi! It's too late to greet you a HAPPY NEW YEAR. I'm so sure you guys are doing great and already had your first trip or first travel in 2018. By the way, this is ODEL, a portable stuff toy dog and he will be my travel buddy. Samahan nyo kami sa aming adventures this 2018- the year of the dog.

The unplanned day-tour turned overnight adventure

Beach walking, taking photos of lil things, watching the sunrise and sunset, nature-tripping and taking selfies (yes, a lot of selfies para makuha ang right angle!) are my favorite travel moments. In addition, I took time to sit and let my feet to rest. The falling-dead-but-colorful leaves on the ground caught my eyes. Napaisip ako... hugot?! I then noticed how the tree do not cling to its leaves. The falling of leaves is about releasing the old to make way for the new. Fall out of love is about releasing someone and let go to make way for the new better one and fall in love again.ihihihi And like a tree, life fails to be perfect but never fails to be beautiful.

SAVE OR SPEND?

It's nearly two months and a half since I posted on facebook about the 100 pesos I saved. It was June 28 to be exact. In order to save 100 pesos a day intended for taxi fare every morning (shhh, I was always late), I tried to go to work early or report to work on time. That's self motivation. The 100 peso saving a day is actually for a trip. The total days is 62 from June 28 until yesterday, September 11. Now the question is: to go or not to go? Will I spend or will I save?
