Third time to visit this place and it is still as beautiful and enchanting as it was the first time I ever saw it.
What a nice way to jumpstart the year by spending it on the beach with my beloved cousins!
Though the place seemed to be a bit crowded now. I remember it was serene and calm last 2010, when we first visited. Right before resorts and sorts were built inside. I can clearly remember, we slept on a tent with no freshwater to clean us up nor electricity to keep us up. It was just us, the sand, the bonfire, the booze, the ocean, all the grilled meat and marshmallows, the sun, and the moon. There were countless stars that night and I just couldn't help but think then, of the beautiful things that's about to come.
Scary part though was, we boarded this passenger pump boat from Isla de Gigantes back to the Estancia port. The boat had only a 34-person capacity. Yet we counted that there were more than 130 people on that boat! And we were secretly praying to God that we will have a safe ride home. But the boatmen and the people seem to be calm all throughout, that was quite reassuring.
2015 was a year full of ups and downs. Full of surprises and disappointments. Full of expectations, the reality and the fantasy of it. But I never backed down and I am still standing with my head held high after I poured my soul out. The rain never says sorry for pouring, it just is, and others find it actually beautiful. Realizing that there is beauty in weakness, that's an important thing, right?
Going back, well, 2016. I have fears to conquer this year, dreams to reach, people to inspire, more places to see, more sun to bask under, peace to keep, friends to treadure, healthier smile to share, faith to revive, love to fight for. Someone who's worth it this time. Chekka.

If you are reading to this, wherever you are, whoever you are, just know that everything is gong to be alright. I tell that to myself constantly but I don't know, maybe to you it will happen. 2016! Let's do this!
Cliff diving!
