Mt. Maculot

One must move mountains to keep the person he loves.

Just three hour bus-ride away from Manila, Mt. Maculot in Cuenca Batangas is a popular daytrip or overnight destination for campers and mountain climbers. Its high volcanic rock wall called The Rockies, is said to be part of Taal Caldera's crater rim. At the summit, one could see the scenic Taal Lake. 

Japan

In Japan, I could easily get lost in translation the way I got lost in the subway train a few times. I only know a handful of Nihongo like moshi-moshi, arigato gozaimasu, and hai, words I could easily count with my fingers hehe. But I guess two of the most important words I learned were tatemae or the presentation of your public self and hone, how you really feel. I heard my kababayans’ stories, they all look very happy, but I can sense there’s always pain behind their smile.

Japan, please be good to my fellow Filipinos.

You think the most painful thing is losing the one you love… ­

But truth is the most painful thing is losing yourself

in the process of loving someone too much.

Camp Aguinaldo

The nation will remain the land of the free

only so long as it is the home of the brave.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines is composed of the Philippine Army, Philippine Navy and Philippine Air Force. The AFP, a volunteer force with a total active strength of 125,000 with more than 130,000 personnel in reserve service, keeps national peace and security. 

How we often take for granted these very things that deserve our gratitude.

The shortest word I know is “I”, the sweetest is “love”.
But the most anticipated is “summer”.
