Special Photo Challenge: Inspiration

One of the highest places I have reached, Capones Island Lighthouse, Zambales Philippines

Traveling (and all that’s in between) inspires me to write, it takes my spirit to greater heights and I see a new perspective each time. A different place, a quiet sunrise, a colorful sunset with different people in all walks of life add up to the never-ending search for that inner peace. The wind on my face, the salty smell of the ocean, the sand on my toes, the flying fireflies, the innocent smile of a stranger creates a whole new story that I can share. I am a firm believer that one must travel to get lost and be found.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Green

When I learned about the Weekly Photo Challenge being GREEN, I knew that my Bacolod-Guimaras-Iloilo Trip last weekend would be perfect.

Green is the color of emeraldsjade, and growing grass. In the continuum of colors of visible light it is located between yellow and blue. Green is the color most commonly associated with nature and the environmental movementIslamspringhope and envy. – Wikipedia

Green was everywhere, from the food that we ate, the beautiful surroundings that we saw, antique items and old houses that we have visited. Ending my year with a memorable trip with friends was a great idea. Promise to share a detailed post (and more photos) about our trip soon, for the mean time, enjoy this gallery!

Dearest 14-year-old Joycelyn,

Pray once you get up, for it will be your daily armor

Still, pray at night to thank God for your blessings

It is true that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger

But do not push yourself too hard

Love all the there is to love

And forgive all there is to forgive

You will have a super great life

A loving husband and bright kids

If at times you feel so down

Remember you are a star

Made to shine

For yourself and others

Love Lots 27-year-old Joycelyn
