Never underestimate a girl who seeks adventure in shorts and slippers 😀BPA_5125BPA_5123Nor a girl who got the universe in her head but always has a plan xx  BPA_5160Because girls like me either write something worth reading or do something worth writing. // I’d take both.  11358858_836250063133421_1145321120_nBPA_5150“She’s the one with the messy unkempt hair colored by the sun. Her skin is now far from fair like it once was. Not even sun kissed. It’s burnt with multiple tan lines, wounds and bites here and there. But for every flaw on her skin, she has an interesting story to tell.” Read original article here. 11271947_836250116466749_1712938688_n 11280537_836250079800086_318101955_n 11310912_836250006466760_1115257385_n  11355550_836250096466751_1685378875_n

They say that nothing beautiful has ever come from within a comfort zone. So, babe, heed that inner calling and go exploring [whether with amazing people or alone].


But PS. Can you keep a secret? Do not tell Mom or Tita that I drove Black Beauty from General Tinio to Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija. 😀

This trip was planned last year and it was finally pushed through last weekend and yes, a long drive to Nueva Ecija.

The night of our trip, we had to drive to Novaliches to get Black Beauty (Avanza) because she’s our life-saver. xx We reached Ms. Berna’s home/farm at 11 in the evening and the place is worth the dread from the 3-hour dive.

Photos here are in chronological order, yes? (Lazy bum here)

Int. Morning. Padolina’s Farm. Breakfast and preparing for the highlights of the rest and recreation.

“Over the mountains and the sea, Your river runs with love for me.”
