BUTTERFLY






I remember the days when the only thing that I can draw is a butterfly.
Yes, I can perfectly draw its wings.
Just wings.
I am not an artist but I pretend to be one
Just to get people's attention.

Like butterflies,
They can easily get someone's eyes
They will let you stare at them
They will let you catch them
Then you'll fall in love with its beauty

I used to catch them when I was younger
My parents once told me
Not to play with them
They aren't good for the eyes, they say
They cause blindness

I didn't listen, of course
How can those beautiful species
cause blindness?
How?
Oh well, parents know best.

But I still didn't listen.
That's how hard headed I was
I just don't believe things
that I do not get

Now that I am aging
I learn how they transform
from a caterpillar to a butterfly
Metamorphosis in Science
It amazed me.
Interesting.

I love butterflies 
I love them even more 
when they are in my stomach
It feels good.
Great, maybe

I just wonder how they 
disappear, die.

Others catch them 
play with them and kill them.

I remember how someone 
gave me butterflies in the stomach
It felt amazing, interesting
However, in an instant 
they just died.
They disappeared.

I do not know what happened.
It is sad
but I am glad.

I am still figuring out
how to take their lives back
but I can't 
Maybe someone knows how to.

I don't know.
I'm not sure
if anyone really can.

CEBU

#CebuYess A good friend went back home from Saudi, who's been there for a year. We decided to go to Cebu and booked a flight last October 2015. Everything was spontaneous, a DIY trip.  Air fare rates: January 20, 2016,  Wednesday Manila to Cebu  (Air Asia) 1,100 pesos January, 24, 2016,  Sunday   Cebu to Manila (Cebu Pacific)  1,280pesos Good thing we got some promotions from the airlines. If you'll have the cheapest fare, the better. Day 1 January 20, 2016 Wednesday   Our flight was at 0715. We were at the airport an hour before the flight. Everything went well and arrived at the Mactan International Airport at around 0840. We took the white cab (outside the airport) going to the North terminal. The driver gave us tickets for the insurance. Cool!   We paid 170 pesos for the trip. It takes less than an hour to get there.  From the North terminal, we took a van going to Hagnay...

Taytay falls, Majayjay Laguna

A weekend getaway in Laguna. February 20, 2016 We visited one of the famous falls in Laguna. The Taytay falls in Majayjay. We went on a weekend that's why it's a bit crowded. It was a little difficult to find a nice spot to go camping. Nevertheless, it was a good experience. People often call it the Majayjay Falls, maybe because it's in Majayjay Laguna but actually its name is Taytay Falls. Its former name was The Imelda falls, named after the First lady of our late Pres. Ferdinand Marcos, Mrs. Imelda Marcos. She has financed the promotion of tourism of the place, that's why. The Taytay Falls It was a 3-4 hours (+ traffic jams) drive from Las Piñas City. We arrived at around 11AM, got our registration and paid 20 pesos for the entrance fee. It's better to bring your own tent, for you not to rent one. Since souvenir shops close at 5 in the afternoon, we bought some before going to the falls. You can also buy food and drinks near the entrance gate. Park...
