To the person who spelled my middle name incorrectly on my birth certificate: I applaud you for your creative license. You took a strange spelling and turned it into an even stranger spelling. You recognized that although I was merely minutes old, I strove to be unique. To my first grade teacher who looked at my deranged, curly hair and asked me “Doesn’t your mother ever comb your hair?”: Yes, bitch, she did. Whoops, I thank you for caring enough about my personal grooming to have said …

I think this was my fourth time to see Mayon Volcano and visit Legazpi City again. The only difference this time was I took a plane to get here. I used to take buses and spent around 10 to 12 hours on travel time which i didn’t like much then. I took the picture of Mayon while boarding the plane. It was a perfect sunny day morning! The beauty of this well-known perfect cone (used to be) volcano radiates amazingly. I so Love this shot. Do you agree?
Mayon Volcano, Legazpi City
Yes it’s me down there! A pose behind Mayon Volcano shouldn’t be missed for another wonderful remembrance of traveling. The pose was very quick nothing special. I was not traveling alone. I was with friends and their relatives waiting to pick us up.
Legazpi City
After having breakfast on our first day of arrival, We headed to the nearest falls for nature relaxation. This is Busay Falls, the favorite gathering place for the locals. It was my 2nd time around here in this little barrio an hour away from Legazpi City. We spent the whole day for lunch preparation, chatting, eating, taking photos, enjoying the moments of being close to nature once again.

As you can see I didn’t change my attire lol! It was just the same clothes which I wore flying from manila but who cares? What I remebered here is the excitement of plunging into the waters, the shallow pool at the end of this falls.
