That lump in the throat
The crushing feeling inside your heart
Sleepless nights
Swollen eyes
It feels like a never-ending cycle
You’re hoping that it’s just a nightmare
That you’ll open your eyes and nothing happened
‘Cause it was just a bad dream
But it’s not
You know it’s not
You can feel the tears rolling on your face
Day and night you’ve been waking up
He’s gone
Forever in your life
A fact
The reality
But this one’s different
Not the usual heartbreak
The worst
A stab in the heart is an understatement
You don’t even know when or how to move on
You couldn’t even delete his pictures
Nor date a rebound guy
He was the kindest and most humble man
The first person that showed me unconditional love
He was not rich
But, he had so much to offer that money couldn’t buy
He’d spoil me up to the last cent in his pocket
He won’t let me walk alone in the middle of the night
He’d cook for me almost everyday
Perfect steamed rice
Variety of sunny side-ups that I could choose from
And a lot more that only him could make
He’d buy me my favorite food every single market day he’d been
I was his favorite
He liked bragging me to his friends
His love for me was top tier
I was willing to give everything I have so he’d stay
But I know he had to go
He was tired
He tried his best
He fought a good fight
Wherever you are
Know that I will be forever grateful for all the times we’d shared
I hope you are in a happier place now
No more pain
I miss you
I love you, tatay.
I used to travel a lot in different islands of the Philippines until the pandemic hit. It’s difficult to travel plus the risk of acquiring the disease stopped me from traveling for almost 3 years now. But, now that traveling has becoming easier and vaccines/boosters are available, we can now book our flights. Out of all the places I went to, the following 4 places are the top ones that will come into my mind without looking at any previous photos or browsing the names of the places, and will highly recommend to people who are planning their vacation.
It will be like your first love that will never die. Once you visited it at the right calm state and weather you can stay the whole day enjoying the place.
2. Puerto Galera
If you live in Manila and looking for a close place to have a beach night life, then this one is for you.
3. Gigantes Island
The best thing about this one that makes it a top destination to go is the P2 per piece scallops and cheap seafood! Another thing that makes it memorable for me is its unique shape you’ll see from the top – the combination of sand area and small hill.
4. Samal Island
The thing I like the most in this island is that during low tide, you can walk on it!
Wherever you plan to go, plan very well. Here are some points to remember when planning. Do not choose places that are too far if you’ll just have 2 days or less. Look ahead of time if the place is open on the specific date that you wanted to visit. Check the most favorable weather to get most of it from the destination. Since covid is still around, travel with caution, wear mask if it’s too crowded or in an enclosed space. Happy travel!
