Claire’s
Masaya kong pinagmasdan ang malawak na dagat sa harapan ko. Maalat at mainit ang simoy ng hangin na humahampas sa mukha ko. The ambiance is so refreshing and calming, this is a paradise for me. Kung ako ang papipiliin ay mas gusto ko na manirahan sa simpleng lugar na ito. This place is the total opposite of the busy and crowded streets of Makati.
Napapikit ang mga mata ko nang marinig ang mahihinang huni ng ibon kasabay ng hampas ng dagat sa dalampasigan. Nature is truly a beautiful thing.
It was my second day here and I’m enjoying my time alone. Savoring the feeling of getting to do whatever I wanted to do without the prying eyes of the crowd. I just feel bad that I had to lie to my mother, but I really had to do this. Ang sabi ko sa kanya ay kasama ko si Kate sa pag-retreat. She thought I was in Tagaytay for the retreat but in reality, I am here in Batangas renting a beachfront house for myself.
