Fave Quotes

“There is no such thing as death. Life existed before we were born and will continue to exist after we leave this world. Same with love, it existed before and will go on forever.” ― Paulo Coelho

“The heartache we have been through from grasping the ungraspable was in the deepest sense, unnecessary.” -Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

“Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she won’t suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. But when that person looks back – and at some point everyone looks back – she will hear her heart saying, “What have you done with the miracles that God planted in your days? What have you done with the talents God bestowed on you? You buried yourself in a cave because you were fearful of losing those talents. So this is your heritage; the certainty that you wasted your life.” ― Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

“I wished to live deliberately… I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear.” –Henry David Thoreau

Best Sleeps: Hammock nights in San Vicente, El Nido and Nagtabon beach where I was serenaded by ocean waves, clothe with coldness the stars hovering over my hammock, insects lulling me to sleep and waking up two to three times in the middle of the night and looking at the star-filled night sky.

Best View: Tie: San Vicente, El Nido and Nagtabon Beach Sunsets

Mangoes ate: 6 pcs fresh, 3 packs dried mangoes

Budget: More of less Php6,000 (food, gasoline, accommodation)

Nagtabon Father's Ashes

Springkling of Father’s ashes at Nagtabon Viewdeck (Day 13)

 

I was sprinkling my father’s along the way. In the next blogs, I’ll share that too!
