Photoblog: Siquijor - 2025 Summer Vacation!

It's been a while since I last blogged, as vlogging and TikTok have become the new trends, pushing blogging to the sidelines. It's unfortunate because blogging is a wonderful way to express oneself through writing and storytelling, much like an online journal that replaces a traditional diary. 

But here I am, back at it! I've shared some photos for a touch of nostalgia and to capture memories. My 2025 summer vacation in the Philippines was enjoyable. I thoroughly enjoyed it, which I repeated throughout my afternoon walk exercise with my cousins, which I normally do in Thailand as part of my daily exercise. As a result, I tend to remember the forgotten roads I used to take with my parents when I was younger, back in the 1980s.

Home is always where the heart is. It might not be applicable to some, but for me it always is. Never been home for three years now due to the attach of this pandemic.

It's possible to go home but I needed to go through such hassle and rigid quarantine and all these swab testing things.

I believe God would lead me home sooner and involving Him is essential.

I had been living independently away from my parents since 1996, till they were finally gone. Was it always easy? Definitely nope. Because of my passion for chasing my dreams of taking out my family from poverty, the thought of moving out solo in search of a better life would be okay.

Well, it isn't! Moving to a new place especially overseas means not having a group of friends anymore, though you'll meet a new set of friends along the way, yet, the ones that you have had grown with are irreplaceable.

With the help of these new inventions, we could still find ways to communicate easily and quickly, but it's not the same when it's in a face-to-face setting.

Been living abroad since later in 2009 and the feeling of homesickness is always there. Being achy to go home is a passionate reaction when you are isolated from things that are natural to you. People have encountered pining to go home however long we have been near. It is made by the connection of things we love and that causes us to feel good.
