Where We Left Our Footprints in 2013

Our feet are faster than my hands; the reason why I haven't blogged most of the places we visited this year. Nonetheless, we are grateful that the universe conspired and gave us the opportunity to

walk along the overcrowded streets of Cebu during Sinulog,

take the 4 x 4 to see the tranquil crater of Mt Pinatubo,

experience summit-to-sea adventure in Dalaguete,

look up to hot air balloons, parachutes and kites in Pampanga,

appreciate the laid-back life of Dumaguete, Bais and their neighboring towns,

find peace, love and fun in the cove of Dakak,

go backpacking to the best places in Samal with close friends from Bukidnon,

mingle with the surfers and skimboarders of Mati,

have an educational trip in Binondo and Intramuros,

fall in love with Jason Mraz again and again and again,

join a surf camp in Marihatag and get to visit Enchanted River again,

conduct an art workshop to typhoon Pablo victims in Cateel and Baganga,

say "Hello" to Singapore's city lights and protected forests

love the blend of Muslims, Malays and Chinese in Malaysia,

put on T'boli's costume in Lake Sebu,

and chase sunrise, huge waves, caves, islands and corals in Siargao.

Thank you, 2013. I shall look back on you with a smile.
