The lovely Jack's Ridge Resort and Restaurant

The night was beautiful, city lights were talking right back to you, pulling you away from the negativity of life, the air was full of serenity as if it was designed to comfort you... Few things why I find this place the most pleasant at nightfall.

Photo walk: Davao City

I'm no photographer, but I love to take pictures because I see beauty in everything, no exceptions. So today I will share some pictures that caught my attention and its stories .

"Prayers at night"
Some nights, we overthink
Some nights, we plan and later forget
Some nights, we dream, and procrastinate after
Some nights, we hope for a brighter future

At dawn you're still awake
At dawn you're still creating that long list
At dawn you're almost there but lost it
At dawn you're hopeless but eager

Until you closed your eyes and got a misty eyes
Until you remembered that there's a way out
Until you shed some light and found God
Until you surrendered everything to him and realized how effective the Prayers at night...

Location: St. Patrick Assissi Church, Ma-a, Davao City

Uncovering "La Isla Bonita" ♥

 The place that I call Nature lover's haven...

Growing up in Manila means lesser access to white sand beaches (because it'll take 3 hours to 8 hours in order to get there) vacation means going to a resort with pools if not, beaches with gray or black sand with big waves. That's why since I'm here in Davao City whenever I'm not swamped with work I really make time for a new escapade. 

Pluviophile playlist

 My own interpretation of "Pluviophile" is someone who without a warning finds nirvana when it rains (From Collins dictionary: a lover of rain; someone who finds joy and peace of mind during rainy days). So I am one, and I believe there's tons of us in this world. So I created a playlist that you can listen to when we feel that happiness is never ending... (Images were taken from google)
