One look that's all took to create a lifetime of passion. I have no control over my feelings. It is as if am possessed by the ocean, the beaches, the boardwalk, the feeling of oneness that comes over me now especially after seeing Mt.Pinatubo for the first time I knew we are soul mates. It's so bewildering what a decade can make, considering that on 1991 when it last erupted people were fleeing and running away from it's tumultuous devastation that cost many lives and horrible experiences one will never forget. I was eleven then when it erupted and i was made to believe that this volcano is the devil's gate. So unforgiving. And i just can't believe that after a couple of years it has become a beauty that attracts people from all over the world to see and to experience a little piece of history.
Mt.Pinatubo is sleeping for now i believe. And she's beautifully peaceful nowadays.
Btw, trekking is not that hard. It's actually cold on the way up. And my favorite part of the volcano is on the other side where the water is still boiling hot.
Love Pinatubo. She's one sleeping beauty. I just really hope she'll continue to sleep forever and never wakes up anymore. No Prince Charming for her kind.
Have a great week everyone!

Denisssssssssssse! i've missed your blog and your pretty pictures! I am AMAZED at the pictures in this post though! It has been 9 years since i've visited the philippines.. when i was born there, i only spent 2 years living there and then moved away... i never really got to see, experience, or even KNOW of the beauty the Philippines has! Look at how green and clear those waters are!!! i would LOVE to go there one day! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow, that really is amazing, I love that third photo, it looks unreal. No wonder this is somewhere your hubby wanted to visit. I cant believe how blue the water looks.

Your photos are so beautiful they make me want to cry. As someone who hasn't been in the Philippines since I was 2, this is how I imagine it to look like when I go back.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having so much fun!

ReplyDeletewhen i saw your mt. pinatubo photos, i immediately told harry that we should go there this summer...he was like 'huh?' quite surprised since he knows i'm not much into hiking..hehe.
ReplyDeletecan you swim in those blue waters? cuz i so want to...it's my kind of blue!
ps. haha, i'm not blessed with salon hair...my curls are natural though but i have to put hair lotion on them...then not comb them when they're dry.. i also condition everyday...and iron out my bangs.hehe. :D
