2 Days of Sand(y) at Malapascua Island

Unknown April 13, 2011

Last weekend I made a trip to Malapascua with my friend Sandy. It was a spontaneous trip that came to fruition only after a few nonsense chatting over what to do on a weekend.

Capones Island Lighthouse | Zambales

Unknown April 13, 2011

The best thing about our Apo Reef trip was the opportunity to just chill in one place without worrying about moving to the next destination. It's about getting lost in the moment relaxing under the sun. It reminded me of what Tim Robbins' character in Shawshank Redemption would do once he experienced boundless freedom. Feeling the fine white sands as I lay down feeling the rays of the sun kiss my skin while humming Weezer's "Island in the Sun", sounds like what island living is all about.
