I had a long-ass thought to type as caption but I guess it is too much I could not put it into words. I feel like I just had a quick 180-turn of lifestyle when I got back home and I do not have much energy for other things than staying home, working, and resting. It sounds like a luxury but there is more to it than that. Everything is so inefficient back home. Anyways, this is me 7kgs ago in Spain. 185 6
This was my last hike in Morocco. I have been busy this past few weeks I was not able to do much of other important things. I arrived back in the Philippines on the 11th of January and the next day, Taal Volcano started to erupt and still does (haven't erupted fully). My main purpose of coming home is to take a break and focus more on my work and other things. But I was not able to sit still. I felt like I needed to help so with not much thinking, I moved my ass to volunteer with no rest myself. It was a proud moment but I hope it did not happen that way. It's heartbreaking to see people lose homes and livelihood in a snap with an ongoing threat of being in a worse situation. 153 2
This is the 5th Christmas I will spend away from the Philippines and in a non-celebrating country. I must admit I miss the festivities back home. Christmas season in the Philippines start in September and it is more of a tradition than a religious celebration. Christmas parties, exchange gifts, etc. My Christmas in 2015 was spent in Brunei with my family and we had a family get together which meant so much to me. 2016, I spent it alone in a hotel room watching netflix in Singapore. 2017, Brunei. 2018, I spent it with a cool and kind group of Germans in Bali, Indonesia. And this year, I will spend it in Morocco. I tried to go back to the Philippines for Christmas as a surprise but it did not work out. I am not sure if it is good or not, but I do not feel the hype of the holidays anymore. See, I never celebrated my birthday in grandeur after my 7th. For me, every single day is as ordinary and is amazing as any other day. Like, I do not have to wait for Christmas to give. I do not have to wait for New Year to change or to set goals. But yeah, I miss the holiday shenanigans. I hope you have a great holiday season! Happy holidays, everyone! 😘 196 10
The sunset yesterday was on fire. Gave me just the right ambiance I needed to stop, sit, and breathe. 🔥 176 6
So happy to see the contrast of Morocco. Hiked more than 2300m-high summit to see this. I lasted just few minutes at the summit because my asian genes were dying because of cold temp. I got back at the bottom after 9hrs and 2days after, I am still left with sore legs. No regrets. It was quite an experience! Are you aware that it snows in Morocco? 243 5
I hope people see beyond the vibrant social media. Appreciate the talents and the hardwork, but do not forget to look beyond it. The world is getting more superficial. People decide their next destination based on the curated social media contents. Sure. I am not against it (actually guilty of it sometimes) but I hope we get to have deeper purpose. This, I am still trying to figure out. I am working hard not to be infected by the toxicity. I take a break whenever I feel like I am losing myself. I try to make efforts to keep relationships with people I want to keep in my life. And of course, I enjoy and have fun at times. Let's live our lives unapologetically in a sense that there is really nothing to apologize about because we live it with respect to others and with kindness. Let's do what we love, if we do not know it yet, let's keep looking. I think life is a journey of changing goals, values, interests, and yes, sometimes, people. In this life of impermanence and imbalance, let's try our best to live it with so much love and kindness. Okay, it's just me blabbering at 02:30. 315 16
