7/7/2012... I'm too lazy to count how many days that is....

I spent my last New Year's Eve at my grandmother's home town. It was and is a small rural community in one of the southern regions in the Philippines. Peace and quiet... with the beach only a block from the house, its a great getaway. 

When I arrived, the town was all the same even the people but older. Taking those first steps into the ocean, a rush of memories come to mind. Allowing the cool breeze rushing to my nostrils, the soft salty sting of the water, the gentle rays of light beaming through the clouds... utopia (for me at least).

As a child, I hated coming here. I had nothing to do. After all the years I have spent in the chaos of life, I have a better appreciation of this place. Simple. Beautiful.
