Cloudy Lunch

The weather has been extra fickle these past few days. I took this on my way back to the office from lunch. When i left the office it was clear skies all the way. Things sure can change in a heartbeat.

Serenity

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change, the courage to change those I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Amen.

Beauty in Small Things

even under close scrutiny, some things are far too beautiful to take for granted.

Faith

this was taken last sunday at the church of our lady of manaoag, a four hour drive from manila. Millions flock to her to seek her help and guidance. i go to her for solace. she has always been my refuge.  

School's Out!

being the tourist in boracay, i was mildly surprised to be confronted by the scenes from daily lives of the locals. the boys in their uniforms, to me, felt so out of place among the bikini clad tourists.

but i wouldn't mind their walk from school everyday if i had my way!

Last Minute Goodbye

Boracay!!

as i said in my earlier post, i took a mini-break and headed off to Boracay, a tiny island about 200 miles south of manila. although the rainy season has officially begun here in the Philippines, i took a gamble and prayed for sunny days.

the gamble and the prayers paid off because i was blessed with a little shower early in the morning and more than enough rays in the afternoon. i love walking around this tiny island because of the gorgeous seascape and the white powedry sand that never seems to get too hot. perfect for walking barefoot along the beach, i'd say.

what made the holiday even more fun was the beach side mani/pedi i got from one of the island's resident manicurists. such a luxury that cost me just 7USD! it was blissful and i now have dainty toenails to show for it.

the best part about this holiday was that all i did for four glorious days was wake up to go for a walk around the island, end up at our favorite spot (Zeppelin's, which served the yummiest chicken garden salad!)to lay and soak up the sun until i was red and sore enough to wish i put on more sunblock and then choose among the countless buffets and grilled seafood available by the beach! it was amazing.

oh, and yes, i took home a little souvenir from Boracay. i got a tattoo while i was there!

where's your next holiday?
