batanes 2008

ang buhay ay isang mahabang paglalakbay. ang daming pwedeng puntahan. ang daming pagpipilian. biyaheng parang walang hangganan.

sabi nga nila, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. sa simula, nangangapa tayong lahat. madilim at maiiksi ang mga dadaanan. walang kasiguruhan kung saan ang tamang daan. kung pakanan, pakaliwa, dederecho o pabalik. pero hindi dapat tayo tumitigil. tuloy lang ang buhay.

tapos darating tayo sa punto na lahat kaya na nating dalhin. may tiwala na sa sarili. lahat pataas, at maaliwalas.

at minsan nasosobrahan natin. nagiging adventurous. nagiging mabilis tayo, lumilipad sa mga paliko. carefee, reckless at wild. dahil malaya.

at lahat tayo darating sa punto ng paghahanap ng mga bagay na magbibigay sa atin ng katahimikan. mga bagay na pinaka mahalaga sa buhay.

ang buhay ay isang malaking lipon ng mga kwento ng paglalakbay. wag nating hayaang lumipas ang buhay na wala tayong kwentong maibabahagi sa iba.

  18. Just a short article that though sufficed for printing, captured neither the exhilarating trip nor the beauty of Batanes.
