UNCHARTED



        Simplicity... the  fitting words I can describe about my place and origin. Studying there was different, everything seems to be simple and plain, not complicated at all. It was like living in a basic life, no internet, phones, ipod,laptop or anything from a well developed place. UNCHARTED.

        It was a child's dream place, a very wide place to play, numerous trees to climb (which is really my favorite part) and fresh free fruits to eat. Money was nothing for a little girl's mind, it was as if everything can be borrowed or given. Toys were not that important, all you need is a creative mind. 
  
        They know nothing about Disney, Nick, or  Cartoon  Network. They are not familiar with any computer games such as Dota, Counter Strike, Plants vs. Zombies or Angry Birds (they only know the real ones). I mean who needs TV or virtual games when you can be entertained by the things that are real. 

         They also have a unique sense of doing sports such as swimming in a river, climbing their very own Mount Everest, and running while being chased by the neighbors dog. They are also very involve in school or church activities, aside from they are there to pray, they are there also for the snacks. 


        They smile a lot and laugh a lot, they may not be rich and techy but they have the simplicity of  life... and mind you I was part of the THEY.

ITS FREE!!!


Breath taking isn't it! you can just imagine the sun kissing your skin, the smell of the ocean breeze and the FRESH AIR!! and Yes I was lucky to be there! I was actually the one who took this picture. 

and did I mention that it is for FREE! Yes Sir!! not a cent!! maybe this is what it means when you say" the Best things in life is for free"!. This place is actually  hidden from civilization and development. Maybe it is selfish  to say but I want this place in the picture be just like this after 20-30 years from now. I just fear that this haven would be destroyed just like what happened to some beautiful sites here and outside the Philippines. Oh well, what am I thinking, you cannot stop change, what I would just wish is that it would be for the better of this place not for the worse. But for now this place is a heaven in my haven
CIAO!!!

the Bridge and my Memories


This is the Famous San Juanico Bridge that connects Samar and Leyte. It was once known to be the longest bridge in the world during the Marcos regime and was built through the efforts of the former first lady Imelda Marcos since Tacloban was her hometown. But for me San Juanico Bridge plays an important part of my life since i travel a lot...i mean i have to travel to study in Cebu.... For 8 years I have been passing this bridge either to go home in Samar or to go back to Cebu....  the Best part in this bridge is the perfect view of the sea and the mountains of Samar and Leyte and its deep blue sea! a little bridge to heaven I guess.. Time may pass by, I may not be able to travel ,but this bridge would always be there.. the authentic witness of my life..

The Hidden Secrets of the East

Quite, serene and peaceful, a perfect definition of the picture above. Fortunately it can be found in the hidden humble abode of Eastern Samar. Yes it is in the Philippines and it is in my Hometown. Eastern Samar  is located at the eastern portion of the island of Samar.I am a full pledge "Estehanon" and a proud one.I do believe that  Eastern Samar has the ability to generate a lot of tourists here in the Philippines if only given a chance to be developed. My main goal of making this blog is to let the people know and visit Eastern Samar. Sail with me as I unravel to you (with the help of my Blog) the places i call Paradise
