Mt. Malarayat Golf and Country Club

I look at the sky and I see how the clouds make it less lonely. When the wind blows, I look at the trees and I see how the world dances naturally.

I look at the people playing golf and I wonder if their actions brought them to the right trajectory of consequences just like the way they hit the balls. And every time they get to shoot a ball in the hole, I wonder if the satisfaction they feel measures to the happiness they get in real life.

Well, I hope so. I really hope so. Because once your heart knows happiness, you wish others could have it too.

Mt. Manabu

On the summit of Manabu (Mataas na Bundok), two mountain climbers revalidated two simple facts I learned from life: that you can’t always force the people you love to love what you love, and that if you wait for others to join you in the adventures you want to take in life, you will probably miss a lot of things.

But still, I wish you were here.
