Hello 2015
2015 is the year of the wooden sheep. A year when green is the lucky color to attract money, a year of prosperity, luck and opportunity.

My Boracay Holiday
I am so excited. I ran for the porch, and took a breath of fresh seasalty air, selfies, and realized that no matter what they say, with the rapid island development at the expense of environmental degradation, pollution, crimes, traces of corruption, this island remains to be the best island getaway to forget everything else and to just be yourself. Just for a moment.
Food Trip in Boracay
Eat, pray, love. Eating is a must in every traveller's itinerary. Boracay is a food critique's paradise with hundreds of restaurants and cafes to choose from whether Filipino or Indian cuisine to Russian. Name it. And its probably available. Thanks to some Tripadvisor recommendation. Indeed, sometimes they can nail it.

Sagada trip
The bus difital clock says 523 in the morning as we stopped at the nice Eatery as part of this 6-hr drive to Baguio. The trip was extremely comfortable-each one had their own lazy boy seat, soft and clean blankets and pillows and were given a midnight snack of crackers and mamon. After 20 minutes of rest the bus went off thru the early dark hours of the morning and i still cam appreciate the brightly lit full moon in the west.

Prayer Before Meals
A postcrossing message which warmed my heart...
"Dear Chris,
Thank you so much for your card which touches my heart very deeply.
The devout mood of the card is heartwarming and attractive and humble.
An effect of the card is so strong that I can hardly find words (in English).
It is a real jewel to my collection.
Thank you for lovely stamps,too.
Thank you for sharing this art experience with me.
Wish you a happy weekend and all the best!
Love, Marja"
