Alone

Where: Extended Stay America Burbank

When: November 24, 2006

It wasn’t the first time for me to stay alone in a hotel room, but this surely was memorable. For 40 days I called that room my “home”. I even spent Christmas that year there.

Being alone makes you feel more independent, but it can be lonely.

Closer To The Stars

Where: Hollywood and Highlands,California, USA
When: November 20, 2006

Hollywood is a whole other world in its own. Though I’ve been a fan of the movies produced in this glamorous place in california, I never dreamt of setting foot on it.

There were a lot of things to see and experience. For a moment there, I was closer to the stars.

At The Chinese Grauman’s Chinese Theatre

Where: Grauman’s Chinese Theatre
When: November 20, 2006

There are nearly 200 Hollywood celebrity handprints, footprints, and autographs in the concrete of the theater’s forecourt.

Rides With An Acrophobic

Where: Enchanted Kingdom, Sta. Rosa, Laguna

When: February 6, 2006

It was my first time in Enchanted Kingdom. The ticket is quite pricey and it’ll be a waste not to try the rides. But I’m an acrophobic. I have this irrational fear of heights. I rode the Space Shuttle, their rollercoaster, but all the time, my eyes were closed. I wasn’t able to see the course as I go through it. I’m just feeling all this ups and downs and turns that made me uneasy.

Sun-burnt Girl

When: October 14, 2005
Where: At Home

This picture was taken after my trip to El Nido, Palawan. I was really sun-burnt because we stayed outdoors a lot back there, but it was worth it.

I love the sun. I love being out in the sun.

Small Lagoon

When: October 13, 2005
Where: Miniloc Island, El Nido, Palawan

It was the first time that I did kayaking. The place was amazing. It felt like that I was in the Jurassic Era, as if anytime I Pterodactyl will just fly above the cliffs. There were small caves as well that one can explore.

It’s so wonderful that there are still secluded places such as this where Nature’s beauty reigns supreme and man’s modernity hasn’t tarnished it.

Big Lagoon

When: October 13, 2005
Where: Miniloc Island, El Nido, Palawan

I wouldn’t have enough words to praise Nature’s beauty displayed inside the Big Lagoon of Miniloc Island in El Nido. It felt like being transported to a small part of the Garden of Eden. Though long spikes of the sea urchins scare me, it didn’t stop me to admire all the sea creatures that this lagoon harbor. The rock formations, the mangrove, the small caves and tunnels, the unique flora and fauna, they are all marvelous.
