Communing with Nature in the “Tourist Spots Filled” Province of Albay

Communing with nature is something I have been doing since I learned to recognize the value of it. My definition of it translates to what I call “nature therapy”. That is to recharge and reconnect with myself through the abundance of nature. I do it in a multitude of ways such as watching the sun…

Catching the Rustic Sunset in Calaguas Island

One thing I adore about my college friends is their adventurous nature. There’s no dull moment whenever I’m with them.

It was 02-03 April 2016, and the world smelled of ocean breeze and salty air. I was, once again, at my happiest!

Bagolatao Trilogy’s Part 3: Dipping In The Seawaters

Amidst my now urban life’s constant uproar, I refuse to forget how nature nourishes me. There is a big difference between watching the azure waters and plunging into it. Did you ever wonder why you do not want to leave the seawater that easy especially when you were a lot younger? This explains why swimming in…

In the evening, while Ms. Wonderwall and I were resting on the veranda, the clouds that were covering the skies earlier were clearing away.
