What's up, my dearest Hiversss! I've missed you. 🥳 It's been a while since I've written a blog, but here I am again, about to share another amazing experience I had at Tree Rings Beach Resort in Carmen, Cebu, Philippines! I can't remember enough when was the last time I wrote a travel blog, and it's just so refreshing to be back at it again! (It’s because I nap every weekend rather than travel, though haha! ) Tree Rings Beach Resort is an exclusive villa in the peaceful town of Carmen, a municipality of Cebu, Philippines, and about an hour's drive from Cebu City or Cebu Province ...

Relationships are part of our life; family, friends, and other types of relationships we keep have roles and impact they play on our lives. It’s always great when we see these people regularly. We can have a physical chat, hangout, and do other stuff together, but it’s definitely a different story when we stay millions of miles away from them. I remember a particular time when we always scheduled a call time with family abroad because it wasn’t the internet or smartphones era. Even the old small phones weren’t available, and it made keeping in touch very challenging, but it’s all different now since almost everyone has access to the internet directly or indirectly, and keeping up with our relationships has become easier.

Agents and architects, masterfully stoking fear and hate then unleashing their unwitting army in the direction of their choosing, Drawing imaginary lines in the sand, building silos instead of bridges, stacking stones into stories far too many are eager to read, To escape their conscription we must have the courage to experience a world opposite our own— be willing to walk barefoot on the prickly path where the pavement ends, We must be brave in ways in which we speak in echoes where silence reigns, trade the great comforts of our certainty for the sanctity of the unknown. Take me away from the world, this world, where words fall woefully short of my reality, where things unfold beyond our understanding but no one ever bothers to ask why, where stories of pain and stories of hope are written in ink that never seems to dry. ~Eric Vance Walton~ Be well and make the most of this day.
