2013 SPAINtastic Trip (1 of 3): Madrid and Segovia
The trip to Madrid and Segovia, although exhausting, was fun! And it’s always a nice feeling to meet new people while traveling—it widens my understanding of how life is while on the road! :)
Mt. Pico de Loro Day Hiking (and some Random Musings)
That moment at the Monolith was all worth the scare and nervousness that I felt while climbing to be on top of it! It was an accomplishment, I believe. And as usual, being on top gave me a sense of fulfillment—that kind of feeling that I can’t explain to my mom everytime she asks me what I get when I travel, especially when I climb the mountains… that I always end up saying “happiness!” (full stop!) :)

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…
Four Seasons of Aloneness: ♥Traipsing Around Paris♥
The weird me made the Eiffel Tower a wishing tower—and I asked a random stranger to take a photo of me while I whispered my secret little wish… :)

Four Seasons of Aloneness: A Birthday Run Away to Norway
One of my fave travel quotes says “I haven’t been EVERYWHERE, but it’s on my list”… So on my birthday, just out of randomness (and weirdness), I ran away alone and went to that “Everywhere”! :D **Ang arte lang!**
I took my love and I took it down; I climbed a mountain and I turned around… And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills; ’til the landslide brought me down… –Fleetwood Mac
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.
An Anniversary Snapshot: The Eiffel and the Carousel
In my attempt to take a snapshot similar to that of Hannah‘s in her Paris Photo Diary (because that snapshot’s really a fave!), I ended up having this instead… <3
And oh well, today’s my 4th year of “blogging” here in Wordpress. :) So happy anniv to me then! :D <–didn’t realize it until I got a notification from Wordpress this morning haha!
Snapshots from my Hometown Zamboanga: Paseo del Mar
And I’m dreaming of home again… And when I say home, I refer to my birthplace, Zamboanga City. If you don’t know where Zamboanga City is, which is quite surprising (if you are a Filipino), I suggest you watch the news.
Saturday shUtter-day: A pair of happy feet and a map on an old train track
Certain travelers give the impression that they keep moving because only then do they feel fully alive. –Ella Maillart
