Biri Island : Invading the Alien World of  Magnificent Rock Formations

 

Long before, I wasn’t awakened by this magic. I dreamt of going outdoors and wandering to places I have never been, but did not give any serious thought about it. It remained a dream. Eventually I had this scary feeling, the fear of the unknown.  I harbored unsettled doubts and I let negative thoughts dominate my being. That’s why I was stuck and remained stagnant and my world just revolved around me. Continue reading “BIRI ISLAND – Samar : A Kiss of Pacific (Part 2)” →

CAPUL ISLAND : 17 Untradeable Experiences in this Heritage Island of Unspoiled Beauty

Suddenly her ideas and thoughts went into an explosion of realization. Her discernments were clear as she continued to find her soul. She did not conform to the standards of society and was no longer what she used to be.  She felt released  from the chain of being locked  from freedom, freed from the shackles of her old identity. This damsel took the chance. She wandered out for only in wandering can she perceive the joy, the magic and the liberty.

She was beckoned to a place away from the life she has been living. She knew what her soul has been craving for and now she was free from any inhibitions, free from the maddening crowd and released from the trapped life she secretly hates.

She was just wanting to go out, because that was the only time she would know herself, and in that time  she  got to be she.

       And then one day, you’re tired of being tired.
