What’s like to fly in the sky?
To see the vast plains and blue waters of the sea?
To sit at the fluffy texture of clouds?
And feel the cold breeze?
But what if, the truth is that you can’t feel it?
The clouds, the air nor dare to see the depths of the oceans
No birds for you to accompany, but only a glimpse of what it is..
… inside a cabin?

I’m talking about me inside an airplane, I was bound to Cebu from my hometown, just to visit my half- brother’s family. I couldn’t bear the excitement of seeing my nieces and see how they’ve grown (or grow taller than me. Haha) . I’m thrilled to be given another chance of going to historical places and hopefully, spend it with my friends who are also here on vacation.

It was just a moment of peace, a moment of laughter, a moment of enlightenment; Somehow, I left everything behind just to have a moment of myself, to think about the things that I should be prioritizing. Clouds of anxiety reigned over me, and so my only choice is to have a vacation at a faraway place, away from home where full of unfinished business still continues to disturb me.

For the second time, I’m travelling alone, Dad was bound to Tagum to be with his beloved and go to M’lang to visit his parent’s grave without me.  Dad needs a break too, from my immature behavior and topsy-turvy responsibilities.  Somehow, travelling alone could be another hobby of mine when I grew up and be a professional, it’s like knowing about something hidden inside, a new persona waiting to be free and recognized, and I wouldn’t mind for it to be discovered.

When I arrived, I waited for my sister-in-law to fetch me but lo and behold, I was greeted by my two adorable nieces.

And so my semester break has started out to be really fun and exciting.
