So
this year, the Gods of the calendar conspired to give all of us succeeding long weekends; a great, great opportunity to be away from our busy schedules. Can
anyone relate with me? I’m sure a lot of you feels the same need for a getaway.
Have you planned your destination for the next long weekend yet?
Today,
I’d like to believe, that
money is not an issue for me; that I can go wherever I want to go, be wherever
I want to be and have whatever I want to have, anytime and anywhere I want. So,
today I’m inviting you to join me spend all my fortune let’s buy time and let
me treat you to enjoy with me my dream vacay. =)
So, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome aboard
this lucid dream. Please let me have your attention as we prepare for takeoff. “Please fasten your seatbelt low and tight
across your lap. Insert the metal fittings one into the other, to tighten, pull
the loose end of the strap on.” Please remain seated and enjoy the view of
the soft clouds outside your window, the scent of the summer grass, the
relaxing sound of the waters as it waves ashore, the warmth of the sun as it
kisses your cheek, and the sound of silence as it touches your soul. Aahhhh....life.=)
I have a thing for organic travelling. There is
that strong call in me to commune with nature; and when talking about nature several
destinations come to mind.
Batanes. Every time I thinking of solo travelling
this place always comes to mind. It maybe is selfish to want to enjoy the place
by myself, but Batanes has that mysterious call in me; to experience an
endearing silence that draws the heart closely to its womb, the serenity of the
evening skies and peaceful mornings, a promise of solitude in every sunrise,
the solemnity of life. Solitary life is what every single soul desires and for
me that’s what its high mountains and strong stones hide; a peaceful life.

Palaui Island (Cape Engaño Lighthouse). I’ve never lived
near a coast or have I seen a lighthouse, but I have this unexplainable
interest in seeing and being in a lighthouse. They are a mystique piece of art.
They stand mightily uphill above the coast; distant, alone, yet they remain
strong. Lighthouses have weathered storms, strong winds and dangerous waves and
they have endured all unanswered calls from all its distant love affairs with
the boats. Lighthouses so lovingly lead all boats along to safely
anchor at the harbour, giving comfort and company an assurance that they are
not sailing alone. But theirs is a tragic story. The boats are meant to just
pass lighthouses by while lighthouses are meant to stay. Such are some people’s
story.

Mt. Mayon. It’s amazing how
nature can form a land of mass in perfect symmetry. Mt. Mayon, it has in it
a power to stop time for you. It encourages you to sit by and look and admire
its beauty; to detach yourself from the rest of the world and just let time
pass for a while. One day Mt. Mayon, I will join you one day. And like you,
I will just sit on my feet silently watching, while the world is going crazy.
So
have you chosen your next destination yet? Come join me! I can’t wait to enjoy this
dream vacay!=)
Live a wonderful life!=)
