Ilang linggo ang nagugol namin upang libutin ang mga lugar nasa listahin sa Luzon. Mostly ay pumunta kaming Zambales, Palawan, at Quezon for the undiscovered beaches. In Quezon, we'd have been in Kwebang Lampas in Pagbilao, Jomalig Island, and Cagbalete Island. The pristine waters is overwhelming same with white sands. Sa Palawan nama'y pumunta kaming El Nido at Honda Bay. While in Ilocos Norte, sa Laoag, Paoay Sand Dunes. Sa Zambales ay Sitio Liw-Liwa in San Felipe at sa Nagsasa Cove which the rock formations are alluring. We went to Tagaytay City, Baguio City, Baler Aurora, Vigan, Albay, Mountain Province (we'd been here for long to feel the atmosphere, it so beautifu--I don't know the word to say, SAGADA!), then San Juan, La Union where my surfing skills are nahasa ng sobra! Ha, I'm a pro now! Ask me how! The food are also amazing! I can still taste it in my buds! Like heck!

Whenever I closed my eyes, all I could see are the stars and the fireflies lingering, I mean the flies are so beautiful in that moment. That I needed Yusri to capture these moments. I will never forget the wonders of Luzon, caving is probably added to my list. Well, I got few scratches on our trip but I like it, it is stupidity to akin to the scrape I'd have, but it will be a reminder somehow, right?

I don't know if two months and half month are enough...

The white sands...crystal-blue waters...the rock formation....the sunsets...the raging waves...the calm nights hearing the calm waves...the atmospheric views...and a long list of moments I couldn't fathom...anywhere the feels. Sometimes, I wish I could go back to the places as easy as I think of it. Ha, I have photographs of these places, but sometimes, it is not enough. You wanted to feel the same moment you've been here.

I sent the photos to Farrell a while ago. It's been three days since we just got back to Manila. Dumiretso ako sa bahay instead sa unit dahil may ginawa kami ni Ches right after I got back here. Wala pa rin akong matinong tulog. Naging abala ko sa pagsama kay Ches sa mga lakad niya. I've been talking to the people we needed for their wedding. Ches wants my suggestion all the time.

Here I am now, staring at my laptop, blank-minded. I don't know what words should I write in my blog after the places I've been through. Words are not enough, are too much, are overwhelming. I can't put everything into words. It will never be enough.

I breathed a sigh and logged in Facebook.

It's been a long time since the instance I had been in this platform. Being here always was toxic. Every time I opened, I think a lot, I spend a lot with nothing in return. And right now, hindi ko makilala ang Facebook. Akala ko kung anong nagbago rito at nakalimutan ko ang password, ilang subok ako bago ko makuha iyon.

Halos sumabog sa dami ang notifications na mayroon ang aking account. Sa mensahe rin ay ganoon. I filtered out to find something worthy. Hinanap ko lang ang maaring message ni Lyne. So I saw her messages, it is months ago, patuloy ang mensahe niya ngunit natigil ng lumipas ang dalawang buwan.

Lyne Castillo:

Nathalie, I hope you're okay. I don't change my number. Please, text me or message me here. I miss you.

Lyne Castillo:

Nathalie, we miss you!

Naka-attach ang picture nila ni Benj na naka-sash during commencement exercise. Mayroon din kuha ng batch namin. May kuha rin siya with the sunflowers. My eyes burned, looking at them--lalo na ang kaibigan na tinuring ko sa unibersidad. Where they are now? Ano ng mayroon sa kanila ngayon?
