Autumn: A Beautiful Tragedy
…
But like these trees, her heart is never dead—it always survives,
She’s just putting it on coma, until the next summer arrives…

Finding that “Somewhere Else”
It’s taking me too much time to absorb some realities…. I’ve been buying time since I-don’t’-know-when; I’ve been avoiding and running away from a lot of things which I think I need to face. I’ve been oblivious about some matters of the heart.

Four Seasons of Aloneness: My Batanes-Kind-of-Trip in the UK :)
No, I’m not back in the Philippines yet. And no, I’m no way near Batanes. :)
This trip was supposed to be “aimless”… One weekend, I was just thinking of train-station-hopping, random. I just needed an escape! :p But then on second thought, I might end up disappointed and that would mean wasting some bucks. So I hurriedly searched for a daytrip destination—and Seaford it was! :)

On Going Solo…
And not having a choice! :)
Traveling, a lifetime passion, I guess. A constant effort to fulfill a long-term dream. And perhaps one of the best remedies that one could consider for an injured heart (lalalala…). A refuge that someone could seek after getting a bad fall? I don’t know. Perhaps traveling has been my escape from reality to experience another kind of reality. Labo, I know right! :D But I know you kind of get what I’m trying to say here…
