Overlooking

A panoramic view from a windmill farm at Pililla, Rizal. Going here was actually kind of a birthday present to me (coz it was a demand slash wish that my friend’s mom granted). I still remember how I didn’t continue taking the panorama because my friend was standing just a few feet away the sign and I thought it wouldn’t look as good if he was in the picture. Seriously though, I couldn’t contain my happiness when I was here.

I always love looking at nature—mountains, oceans, trees, skies, and especially the moon, and I also like being somewhere I’ve never been, that’s why being there at the farm brought me so much joy. It was the best birthday present that I got so far!

Unnoticed

And then there were four.

P.S. When walking with my friends, I’m at the back most of the time. The reason being I walk slow and really take my time to look at the surroundings. But if you want bittersweet, you can also rationalize my walking at the back as me being ready to leave anytime, unnoticed.

Into the Dark

Deep into the darkness—that’s where he went;
the place he knows I don’t want to be in;
the only place where he knows I will never follow him.

I’m not sure what type of butterfly that is, but it managed to come in our house two Decembers ago and decided to stay on the ceiling. As much as I would like for it to stick around because I think it’s really enjoying its lone time, I know that it will enjoy its life more outside our humble home. So after taking a couple of pictures, I gently picked it up and let it go just outside our door.

I felt bad that I intervened in the butterfly’s solitude, but I was glad when I saw it flying away.
