One Amazing Thing I've Done
SEEN: sea of clouds in Mt. Pulag, waves, white sands and beautiful Island of Nangaramoan in Cagayan Valley, Calaguas Island, Cagbalete Island, Pagudpud, Pangalao, awesome view at mt. pinatubo crater and taal crater, and met awesome backpackers along the way. DONE: I did some volunteer works in Vietnam and Laos. I am more happy to be with them and help them. I learnt that I prefer simple life, living in rural or in countryside than in the city and be surrounded by simple and kind people. Traveling thought me so many things in life. Seriously, you need to travel too... its an eye opener sometimes. :)D

My Interests
Beach... Photography... Watch... Coffee... Mountains...Sunset...Sunrise I learnt basic photography, and every time I do backpacking I always bring my camera to capture nice and beautiful things as remembrance of that place. most of them are sunset/sunrise.. There are unforgettable stories behind them. :) I love coffee. It started when my friend introduced to me one coffee shop in my area. Since then, I drink coffee sometimes 3 times a day. I love beaches. when I'm at the beach, i feel relax. and I love hearing the sounds of the waves. Lately, I got addicted to Kdrama. I was overwhelm by the looks of the koreans. they are so beautiful and handsome (knowing some of them have done something with their faces). And their food, oh looks delicious and yummy.. hahaha i love eating though..
