Currently...

Reading

Harlan Coben's Tell No One, which was lent to me by my morning commute buddy, Chez. A short backstory, Chez and I used to be in a car pool on our way to work with 3 other people. Because I usually read on commute, she noticed, we had a little chit-chat about books, and then she was kind enough to lend me two books by Harlan Coben. It's been a while since I've read mystery novels -- although I've enjoyed it every time I get to read Robin Cook or Dan Brown.

Writing

Haha. Nada, other than the obvious. I've stopped writing on a journal for the last three months, which is no shock based on my records. 

Listening

Been listening to a lot of gut-wrenching, heart-hammering, self-inflicted hurt songs since the rainy season began haha. We are all guilty of this, I guess? :) Speaking of songs, something incredible happened yesterday. Because of the rain for the past days, I've been stuck with one of the most-played rain-themed OPM songs: Regine Velasquez's cover of Tuwing Umuulan. Haha, it's a classic, but also a very cheesy and snuggly song to listen to. So I was in a mall yesterday and then it turns out Regine is having one of her mall tours, and then she sang it! back to back with her rendition of Araw-Gabi, which is my all-time favorite OPM song. My mind imploded, basically.

Fact: Both songs are composed by the genius Ryan Cayabyab, who has perfected the art of  delicately describing how it is to love and let that love bleed profusely without bluntly saying I love you. God.

Thinking

Being 28 is the most comfortable skin and state of mind I've ever been in. I am certainly blessed to have this consciousness that reminds and makes me realize that everything that is going for me in life right now does not fall short of what I've wanted in a simple life, to say the least.

Smelling
Kimi's urine-soiled floor. Ughlk.

Wishing

To close the gap of my 6-month photo backlog.

Hoping

I really hope to wake up to a consistent early routine. I am so bad at tapping the alarm, and then going back to sleep completely, and then waking up 30 minutes later shocked and rushed at everything.

Wearing

A super comfy tee from Bench, which I wouldn't mind to have 20 pieces of and wear every day, and running shorts.

Loving

I've rediscovered my love (first love) for making videos, and I've missed that high from stitching scenes with the music bed.

Wanting

To bleed these realizations into written form.

Needing

To find time and the right mood and nook to do the above.

Feeling

Love in the unromantic but in the realest, most satisfying way.

Clicking

My blog layout. Popped up some of the label lists and widgets back in here. If I could just gather the willingness to learn CSS, but nope. Lazy ass wins.

coron: sophia's garden resort

Comedor

While every island and lagoon in Coron is naturally beautiful on its own, this garden resort we stayed in is like the cherry on top of the trip, at least for me :) This is how I want my home to look like - a raised bungalow house made from wood and concrete with wide open windows, and a simple garden stretched with carpet grass!

In front of their comedor is a small pool and a jacuzi, which my friends and I spent a quiet, fun and super relaxed evening. 

This tables and chairs setup is so romantic in nightime with those small capiz lamps dangling from the tree.

coron: malcapuya island

As if staged, we finished our last hop in Malcapuya Island just before the sun set. I love this part of the path, a strip of soil in the middle of green grass sprawl and trees, like taken straight out of a story book :)

Time was spent to more of sitting, staring at those crazy blues and playing a bit of (beach?) basketball, which briefly reminded me of childhood. I would love to experience at least an overnight stay in this island when I come back. I will, I will.
