"The world is too big," she said, "but that doesn't mean we stop searching."
As is probably obvious from my Instagram photos (for those of you who took on my suggestion to virtually creep on me there, at least. Haha), I went to Cebu last week with one of my longest, closest friends, Erika.And inasmuch as I'm all averted to all things cheesy -- well, at least online --… Continue reading Philippine Travels # 6: Favourites
[AUTHOR'S NOTE: I initially didn't want to write the obligatory "getting a year older" post, but I guess what with my stubbornness (and my need to get my mind off of work for a while), I could write one more -- at least to symbolically say good bye to my teenage years.
