I guess I've been neglecting the blog for way too long, what with me trying to get my butt in gear and back into the rat race. After a year and a half of bliss, the moolah ran out, so it was time to get a job again.... one with a constant stream of earning.
It found me in the most bizarre fashion, but most interesting things often do, and truth be told, I had been throwing out the need and desire to get the cash flow back on track to the universe so it took care of things for me. (Yes, I've been reading The Secret but I am enjoying Creative Visualizatio way more!). Anyhow, I am back in Manila...and you may ask yourself how and why.
I decided our yearly family holiday had to be here this year and surprisingly, managed to convince the entire family to trek half way around the world to get to the paradise that is Siargao. Yes, all those nights on the island are about to be shared with my loved ones. It's moving that they've all made the effort to come meet and get to know the place spent so much time in during my travels.
So after a very long, movie and documentary and of course chocolate binge-filled 13hour flight from Amsterdam, I landed in Manila today and the first thing I did was drink a fresh buko juice (of course) off a street vendor, a eat some green mango also freshly peeled by another street vendor. The grubbiness of the city continues to stand 2nd place when the kindness of the local folk remains. It does not cease to amaze me and I am pleased to find many things as they were when I left.
That'll be it for this piece but do expect more updates over the next two weeks, and of course pictures too!
Mabuhay!
