panglao-balicasag getaway
“why wait for 40 when you can be happy NOW??”
the above line from melanie t. lim’s WIDE AWAKE – a compilation of articles from her sunstar column, struck a nerve in me. or at least it awakened something from within. as soon as i finished reading all the articles, i debated between attempting to awaken my culinary skill [if i have it in me, that is] or going for an unplanned/unbudgetted? trip to panglao in bohol. superego told me that i possibly could not go for that trip since i just cooked an almost half-kilo [roughly 6 to 8 servings] “humba” to be consumed by me, myself, and vet. moreover, i just bought some more ingredients to attempt cooking another dish. i simply could not put off cooking else the ingredients would go to waste. id, on the other hand, argued that traveling always guarantees me pleasure. there’s nothing more pleasurable than traveling, hopping on a boat and going to another island, whiling away time on a sandy beach and forgetting about life’s worries. to clinched it, id reasoned that there’s just no pleasure at the prospect of eating all those “humba,” [the winning argument] hehehe…
there's no special reason for the name except the love of putting my foot in front of the other until i'm breathless. traveling is a new found love for me. though i'm not blessed with beautiful-looking feet, i've gotten the habit of taking photos of my feet every time i set foot on lands outside of my beloved cebu. THANKS FOR VISITING!!! leave me a note or two. send it to vetlongwalks@yahoo.com or drop me a comment here. would love to hear from you!
