Guisi Beach, Guimaras

This post is way overdue. My computer and net connection are so slow, I gave up the first few times. :( We went to Guisi Beach in Guimaras Island, and all it took to get there was a a 15-minute pumpboat ride to the wharf and an hour of tricycle ride to the beach itself. We stayed there for the night. There’s no phone signal in most areas so you need to find a certain spot in the beach to call your loved ones reassuring them you’re not lost. Haha.Anyway, it’s a bit of a hassle sometimes when I use my DSLR camera for out of town trips because it’s heavy. Sometimes, using just my camera phone is always good enough. ;)

Some photos I took with my Iphone. ;)

Kalachuchi

I’m crazy over these flower trees lately. They’re called kalachuchi in our local dialect and they’re fairly common in the Philippines. I love its crooked branches, and I also love those times where you can see no leaves except for the flowers. :) These photos were taken just outside the Sto. NiÑo Parish of Arevalo. This kalachuchi tree has the most beautiful flowers I’ve seen so far. :)

I’m on vacation

My two week vacation officially started last Saturday. I left work in a daze last Friday after a crazy shift in the dialysis unit. I was looking forward to these two weeks of doing anything except work and so far I’m loving it. And I’m especially looking forward going to the beach this coming weekend! :D Waaaahhh! Five more days to go! ♥

Orchid shopping

There were loads of photos from our orchid shopping trip a few weeks ago that never made it to the blog. It was a week before the annual feast of Candelaria. Besides the usual “peryahan” (carnival) scene, there were lots of fruit vendors and there was this other part of the plaza that was clearly meant for flower lovers (like me!).

One month.

No matter how much faith we have in a relationship, we lose someone. It’s been a little more than a month since we parted ways. I promise not to dwell on whatever happened the past few years. We’re back to being strangers, and the best that we can do is move on, meet someone new, and live life with no regrets. Everything happens for a reason. ▲
