Bite Sized Reality

After months of planning our Boracay trip, when to go and what to do, we finally made our summer paradise dream come true. We went from 4 hours flight and 4 hours transit to riding a tricycle and bum-boat ride to get to this semi-hidden treasure.

Since we were traveling on a budget, I picked a hotel (Mito’s Place) that is right behind Starbucks. When lost, say Starbucks. I must admit, the view from Starbucks is breath-taking. We woke up for coffee / tea one morning and just sat there, wishing that we could at least copy and paste the view of the blue sea back to our home-Starbucks.

Being a sucker for sunset, it was one of our daily agenda to catch the sunset by the beach. On our first evening, we saw the biggest sun, felt like it was so close we could touch – something I could hardly ever see in Bangkok anymore. Oh, the glittering sunset. Continue reading →

Today, I went from the highest of the high to the lowest of low after coming back from a much needed getaway trip to summer paradise, Boracay. Life is a funny thing. One moment, you are alive, breathing, laughing, loving, in fact, you are probably doing a lot of loving. The next, you don’t even know that you are departing this world to a realm unknown.

I watched my friend shred her tears today for her mother who just passed away and I couldn’t even picture how I would be if someone so close to me were to be gone, forever. In a way, this whole situation is a wake up call for me and probably a lot of people who are going through the same thing or witnessing someone going through such a big loss.

Life really is short. Love like there’s no tomorrow. If you are mad at someone or so angry that you can’t speak, know that it is just feelings and it will go away. Tomorrow is a new day, make the best of it. Most important of all, keep those who love you close to your heart.

R.I.P I wish I have spent more time with you, memories of you will stay.
