Morning has broken like the first morning... 



It was the first time in a looooong time that I saw the sun rise again. Pretty sure it still shines in the east. Took the photo on our way to Tacloban last Monday. I was supposed to do a photo blog about this trip but of all things I left behind for our 2-hour drive to the capital city, I forgot to pop in the memory card of my camera. So... boohoo! I had to make do with the iphone's camera to capture the memories. (It's not the pana, it's the Indian!) Alas, I didn't get enough to make sure this blog post will rock your socks!

Anyways, for the sake of blogging and preserving this memory forever in the blogosphere, I'm writing about our journey from Ormoc to Tacloban and back that lasted an entire day -- approximately 12 hours.

Honestly, I haven't been to the lake for 8 freaking years! So it's been a really looooong time. T_T

We missed the turn and almost ended up farther up (in Gaas?) but good thing we figured we were heading to no man's land so we turned back and eventually found our way back to the other side of the lake... Whew! The woods can be tricky sometimes...

Take nothing but pictures.
Leave nothing but footprints.
Kill nothing but time.

RameNoodles invade Lake Danao!!! ♥

Lots of pictures to tell the story. Wait for them to load.

This year's Valentine's Day sucked... NOT!!! This was the most pricele$$ Valentines Day ever... in my history! :P

It was totally unexpected. Nothing was planned. (The fishball part didn't happen one bit!) Everything was as spontaneous as it could get. Even the whole flowers and chocolate moment, it left me stammering and at a loss for words. I didn't know what to say. I mean, I'm not the type of girl you give chocolates and flowers to because first of all, I have realized long before that VDAY is a spawn of commercialism and all the hype is nothing but a cunning capitalist scheme really. However, this year's VDAY was a total romantic opportunity (especially for my Udon Boy) and aside from the fact that EVERYDAY IS VALENTINES DAY for us, this day definitely went down to our books by absolutely showing love, seeing love, and feeling all the love.

Now let the pictures speak for themselves.

Once again, my brain cells have died on me and I cannot seem to compose anything for my blog. Ugh. I know, my blog is worthless. It sucks and you shouldn't be reading it. :P

Then again, pictures really paint a thousand words. Words that seem to escape me... FOR NOW. But I promise to take more brain-boosting vitamins so I can blog my heart out the way I used to.

Now what?

Lazy afternoons are back again. After all the viajes that took place, I'm back to spending my days figuring out what to do and where to go to in this crazy yet beautiful provincial town. I wanted to work out and lose weight but alas, my indolence gets the best of me. I can't help it... I'm too bent out of shape to exercise. LOL! A contradiction on its own, just like me.

So this ensued...

You gotta love the coming summer season. Wait, is it El Niño already? Nah... With my Noodle Boy and music = LOVE... Nothing can beat that, not even the heat.

Music is what feelings sound like... ^_^

As the sun rose with all its glory, I watched the sky intently with only two hours of sleep and thought of you again, only to shut my eyes hard as I feel them burn with the bright, blinding light. Then slowly being soothed by Ben Harper's voice singing "She's Only Happy In The Sun".

A few minutes after, I was jolted back to reality when I heard the good captain announce our slow descent, interrupting my wandering thoughts of you and me, together again after quite a while. How my imagination ran wild!

It wasn't long when I felt my stomach churn as we defied gravity.

Approximately 3 years had passed since I took a flight alone and it's these times I could confirm how misery loves company. Traveling is great. I'd jump on the next flight to New Calhedonia or some unknown land had I the luxury of time, money, and of course the company of cariño mio. Alas! How deprived I am of these right now...

But that will change soon. Very soon...



In the meantime, here's my 8-hour trip to the Malaking Lupa.
