Fat Choi Getaway

  While the rest of the Chinese world celebrated their new year, I never had the slightest thought of basking on the warmth of my room. I wanted to see mountains and feel the coolness of water. Of course I would never find that at the beach. Only one place crossed my mind. Panibasan - the place I visited when I was still a college student.

Boracay Experience: A Profound Gift

From a student's perspective

        It was once a dream, far from becoming a reality. But it did.

       The moment we received the DepEd advisory announcing the venue of the 4^th National English Jazz Chants Festival, our heart never stopped the rush of beat. Maybe from excitement, maybe from fear of the competition, or maybe from the series of endless and exhausting rehearsal ahead. Our efforts have finally paid off. Here we go to the best travel of our lives.

            I could still remember moments when I pointed my finger on the sky and tried to imagine what it feels like being there. Now I could feel it the moment I stepped on the air plane. Chill ran through my spine. I grasped the hand of my co-performer as though it was the last moment of our lives.  The “fasten your seatbelt” sign was on and there went the surge of force as the machine moved forward with all its might. We did not breathe until it lifted itself, until the distant houses looked like candies, until the highways looked like thread, until Mt. Apo was on the level of my altitude.
