Three days have passed since I got back from my adventure in Ilocandia. Three days later, I am still reeling from everything. I’m thankful that I get to experience something new each year. This one was not as glamourous as last year’s, but nevertheless still amazing. I wouldn’t be wallowing in post-travelling blues three days later if it wasn’t.

While I’m still waiting for my film photos to arrive, let me share the digital photo above that was taken in Pagudpud’s Blue Lagoon. I celebrated the morning of my birthday strolling and beachcombing along the tip of Luzon. It was cloudy and I didn’t get to see a beautiful sunrise, but it remains one of the best mornings I have ever woken up to.

To the people who have made this birthday trip possible and memorable, thank you. Thank you very much. <3
