Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2

Today, I watched Guardians of the Galaxy, volume 2. Compared to the first Guardians movie, I would say volume 2 is even better. This is a fun movie with lots of special effects, humor and action. Chris Pratt is handsome as ever and funny. He delivers his lines in a way that makes everyone laugh on every movie he been on. He is a very cool comedian.

The story is a father&son story with a twist. Starlord, played by Chris Pratt, finds his father, but his father is not what it first seems. The guardians with Gamora, Drax and Rocket ally with Yondu and Nebula that were their antagonists in the first movie. Mantis is another new member of the group and she somehow reminded me of a snail. Baby Groot steals every scene it is in, as this little guy/thing/plant/being is so adorable and funny with the only sentence it can speak: "I am Groot". And of course they all together do save the galaxy, again. Many hilarious scenes that I liked. I enjoyed watching everything. This movie is worth your time and money, and because of the special effects, is a must see in 3D.

The end of the movie indicates that there will be a volume 3. It is not clear when it will come out. I hope we don't have to wait too long. I love this style of movies. Guys, don't miss the movie, go watch it!

Travel Tips for Sambawan

Tips on how to get to Sambawan Island: I started in Hernani, but you might want to start in Tacloban. From Hernani Eastern Samar to Tacloban City was 3 hours by van-van. In Tacloban, you'll have to go to the terminal bound to Naval, Biliran. The trip will take another 3 hours. Once you arrived on Biliran, if you're first timer, you can ask anyone where you can take a ride going to Kawayan, in the north of Biliran. There are jeepneys and private cars. A jeepney costs 30 Pesos. I don't know what a private car would cost. The trip from Naval to Kawayan takes 1 hour.

So right when you get to Kawayan, there will be people to accommodate you for the boat ride. The boat ride to the Island cost 3000 Peso but it can be cheaper if you're with a group of people. Because you can just tear apart the price of the boat. It is another 1 hour travel to the island. The total hours of travel I had was 8 hours, but seeing the island for the first time, my effort visiting the place was all worth it. Everyone can go there, Just Google Sambawan Island to find more info.

My first visit of Sambawan Island

Sambawan is a small idyllic island near Biliran. I wouldn't know about Sambawan if my classmate wouldn't have praised it. According to her, she found out about Sambawan Island through google. She knows and has visited so many nice places, no wonder she is always vacationing. Now, Sambawan Island is no longer a strange place to me, because I have been there. Since it is so small, it lacks a civic infrastructure, but I still love it there because it is pure nature. From the top of the mountain, you can see everything, the beauty of the Island is really captivating. At the very top, there were a tree house where you can stay and rest for a bit, and you'll be able to see and take photos of every view that attracts your eyes.

If you're an adventurous person, Sambawan Island is good for you. You can hike, and look around, or swim in the sea. The ocean is not deep there, and it looks green and clear. It is a nice swim. But afterwards, you cannot shower with the water, because the water that comes out from the faucet is also ocean water. So there's no use showering at all. That's the only thing that disappointed me while I was there. But I enjoyed my stayed. I had fun.

Papaya Rice Dinner

I was thinking what we are going to eat for dinner. Sure, we have cooked rice, but we need to add something else. So I asked my cousin whether she likes papayas, which we will cook it with coconut milk. She agreed to my idea, and then we picked four pieces of papayas, we peeled it, washed it, and then we sliced it in small cuts. When we were finished with the papayas, my auntie arrived from her work, and unfortunately told us that we have no coconut for the vegetable.

I thought to myself, how stupid we are, we thought we have coconut for sure. I feared already that the work was for nothing. But my uncle was around so he tried to look for coconut somewhere, and he was successful. He came back with coconut milk. Our dinner went well. I didn't eat lunch, so I ate plenty during dinner. Preparing food makes me always hungry. It was a very simple meal, but it was fun to eat with the crowd. It was a lot of food, and we shared with my dad and brothers who live not in my auntie's house but who came by. Food with coconut don't last more than a day, so it is better eaten all ar once. It would be easier if there was a fridge, but my auntie has none. Anyway, it was a good dinner.

Unexpected Invitation

I just got invited by one of my colleagues to go to Sambawan Island this Saturday. I didn't know what to say, because this invitation was unexpected and such a short notice. I thought about it and asked how much would be the cost for each person to go there. She said it is at least 1500 PHP per person, but with that budget we need more people to come with us so we don't need to spend more for the boat rent. She has 6 people with her, and I'm thinking of taking my cousin since she wants to come with me. That's a good idea because then my cousin can take pictures of me and I take pictures of her. I just need to find a way to organize the budget.

According to my classmate, Sambawan Island is in Biliran, so from Tacloban it will be 2-3 hours travel to get to the place. And if we go with them, we will have to be in Tacloban on Friday already, because the trip starts at 4:00 on Saturday in Tacloban. It is already Thursday, hence the notice came short. She could have told me earlier so I have enough time to think, and get ready.

Dangerous roads

Sometimes travelling on a bus transport is risky, especially for those who travel to provinces on rocky roads. It is not easy to drive there, and sometimes the drivers can be reckless even to rough and narrow roads. It it gets dangerous, some people start praying to God, but accidents happen nevertheless.

In the news was the story of a bus that fell off the mountain in Nueva Ecija and killed 32 people. I'm sure they have prayed before they even came up in the bus. My sympathy, and condolences to the families who had lost their loved ones on that tragedy. That was really heart breaking. How I wish we die different, and not like that.

I hope drivers would behave more responsible on the road so that such accidents never happen. It is sometimes better to drive slowly but to reach the destination safely than to drive fast and die on the road. Always keep that in mind when you go on the road yourself with your car or bike!


Watching Encantadia

Encantadia is a Fantaserye everyone loves to watch. Some people her in my province just bought a TV only to watch that serial or other teleseryes. The same holds for my own family.

It's been just a month since we applied for Gsat, a line where we can watch different channels. It wasn't too long ago when we only had a DVD player to watch movies, and no life television. But now we are no longer watching DVDs. This Gsat is better, and more fun although the risk is that the electricity bill gets higher when people watch more TV.

Back with Encantadia: I'm happy to watch it every night. I  can keep up to watch it while I'm on my summer break. This isn't the first Encantadia being sent on TV, but compared to the old ones, this 2017 remake is way better than ever.

When we love, we love deeply

When we love, we love deeply. We give our best for that person. When we are in love to a person, we are blind to see his/her imperfections. We sees him/her as perfect as ever. When we hear negative words from others towards the person we love, we get mad, and all we want is to prove them wrong. We have an idealized view of that person. We get a realistic view only after a break up or when you have moved on from that person.

Yes, we all have loved once someone that hurt us in the end. Sometimes, when people hurt us, it changes us. We might get hard against love or we might end up as a player that never takes relationship seriously.  I'm sure there are people out there who once loved somebody strongly but got hurt, and never learned to love again. It is because you don't want to feel the same thing over and over again. Heartbreaks truly is awful. We don't want to get hurt. Everybody deserves to be loved by someone.

Easter Gift in Borongan, Part 2

Finally, we arrived here in Borongan. Wow, that was quick travel! It didn't even took us an hour to get here. The van-van is more expensive than the jeepney but it is so much more comfortable. I might take jeepney going back home if I have no things to bring.

I am already here inside the LBC to get my package. I still have no idea what is inside. I already gave my ID, a little bit more then I'll get to see my stuff. Afterwards, we'll head to Jollibee to eat lunch, as it is my cousin's wish. We are very hungry since we did not eat anything all day long. I guess I'll have to end this blogging for now. The lady called my name already to claim my package. She didn't asked me for any of the tracking numbers. I think everything is going good now. Bye everyone, have a great day!

This picture shows what was in my packages

Easter Gift Waiting in Borongan

Hurray, I will get an Easter Gift! I just received a call from LBC to notify me about a package for me. Since they don't deliver all the way to Hernani, I need to go to Borongan to get it. The LBC woman who called me sent me two tracking numbers. I know one package is chocolate, but I wonder what the other tracking number might be. I will find out in Borongan.

I am excited to see what is in the package, because I have no idea yet. It is a good surprise. While writing my thoughts about the Easter gift, I and my cousin are already here at the side of the road waiting for van-van bound to Borongan. I haven't been to the city for a while. I'm interested to see what's new there, new stores etc.

Anyway, I choose van-van whenever I travel long distance, to avoid sweating. A van-van has air condition while a jeepney has none. A van-van also has more space on the seats. Also, a van-van is much faster because it doesn't make so many stops. In one hour, I will be in Borongan.

Visited Bacayaw beach

Yesterday, we went to Bacayaw beach. From Hernani, this is nearer than Minasangay Island Resort. You'll have to pass just a few Barangays. For a motorbike, this is easy. We used the motorbike of my brother who borrowed it to us, and we did ride all 4 people on it.

Of course, I wasn't the driver. Nobody trusted my driving skills enough, since they know I just learned driving. When 4 people are on the bike, it can be dangerous. The person who did drive is even smaller than me, but an experienced motorbike driver. Lol. We arrived in just 20 minutes, the resort doesn't have entrance fee, but I paid the parking space which cost me just 50 Pesos. We only took photos but didn't go swimming. Bacayaw beach is a fine beach with white sands. They have tables, so if you needed one, you'll just have to ask for the assistance. Each table costs 200 pesos, and it is for the whole day. It is very comfortable there. Maybe I will go swimming next time.

Lost my earphones while drinking

I am unhappy right now. I think my earphones got stolen when I left it unattended for a second. Why would anyone take somebody else's property in just one snap of hands? It is really annoying. We went to this place without expecting anything bad just to chit-chat. It is my cousin's place nearby my home. It was raining, still I went there around 3 pm.

Later, we decided to drink alcohol, not much since I cannot handle so much alcohol in my system. We had like 3 bottles of Agila already when  I noticed I don't have my earphones with me. I remember I left them outside the chair of my friend's house. I just got back to there, but I got disappointed that I couldn't find it. Somebody took it.

Since my old headset was broken, I first bought only cheap fake headsets. Those would not be a problem. But later on I've decided to buy an expensive original earphone headset. That's the one I just lost. I'm not happy right not. It seems that everything I have, I keep on losing or breaking, and there's no way I can stop it from happening. I really do hate myself sometimes for that!

Happy Easter Sunday!

Happy Easter Sunday everyone! It is good to see all of you having good times, taking vacations with family and friends.

I and my family are here at the beach right now having quality time, while enjoying the rest of the day, swimming, eating, and drinking. It is really crowded here at the beach, there are no available cottages because all the cottages are occupied by tourists. I feel bad for those who travel here from afar with the expectation they could find a free cottage but end up having none.

I got lucky. I reserved a cottage in advance with the help of my cousin. He is a help boy to the owner of this beach. Thanks to him, we have a great place to chill on the beach. I hope the weather will stay as good as this right now so that everyone is happy. Again happy Easter Sunday to all!

Feel the summer, but avoid heatstroke

This time of the year, it is everywhere too hot in the Philippines. Therefore, I always take a bottle of water with me, just in case I get thirsty. The heat cannot be ignored because of the risk of a heatstroke. It is always better to drink a lot of water in time. The risk is higher for older people or people with low immune system.

We hoped for summer, now the summer is there, hence we must embrace the super hot summer. I just hope everyone here in the Philippines watches themselves. Besides drinking enough water, swimming in the sea helps to cool of the body. If you are living near the ocean like myself, you are lucky. Just avoid the deep water because of the strong currents in the sea. But I don't swim often, because I fear to get too dark. LOL!

Anyway I hope everyone is enjoying the summer. Always stay safe!

Good Friday!

During Good Friday, everyone goes to church just to walk along with the crowd. I just saw how many people came together on this Good Friday. I was there, I even walked barfoot with everybody until 13 stations. Some people didn't walk barefoot, they were with shoes. Everybody can choose what's good for them.

The way of the cross, with 13-14 stations, is tradition here in the Philippines during holy week. During that time, everyone sacrifies a bit. If you are a tourist in the Philippines, you might see a Good Friday procession with people carrying a big cross. In some places, even people get nailed on the cross, because they made a vow to experience the same pain as Jesus when Jesus helped them or their family before. Others hit themselves with sharp stuff to their back to experience some Easter pain. This is normal here in the Philippines.

Happy Good Friday to all Filipino people!

Holy Week

I'm glad that I'm back in my hometown. I don't think there will be any transport available tomorrow. Everyone will rest tomorrow, so if you want to be with your family, today is the best day to come home. Starting tomorrow transportation is off, I think this is until Sunday, but you can always travel if you have your own vehicle. If you have none and rely on bus and van, then travel today.

This coming Saturday and Sunday are the times where you can go for an outing with friends and family. I chose Sunday, and it is finally happening. I already reserved a cottage for that occasion. We will bring simple food to the beach. I think I'll let my cousin cook Pancit Bihon and fried chicken. The rest I don't know, I am also planning to make a desert, but I haven't decided which one. My cousing is going to do all the cooking, while I am the one to buy all that's needed for.

Sad story in the news

There was a sad story in the news: 5 siblings drowned in a river in Northern Samar. It seems that they went swimming while nobody was watching them, even though their parents forbid that they go swimming. It is very sad that they lost their lives.

I feel with the parents of the kids. It is a catastrophy for them. But those children are now in heaven, in god's hands. I know it's hard to be in that situation, but there's nothing you can do but accept that the incident had happened and hat it costs your childrens lives.  My condolences to the parents! Please be strong, don't let this trial get you down forever!

Planning for an outing

I'm planning for an outing this coming Saturday together with my family. We will go to a beach and swim in the ocean. That's normal here in the Philippines. The beach is nearby my place so I can easily go whenever I wanted to swim or just to chill. I don't plan to go to Canhugas due to the earthquake that keeps striking, for everyone's safety. So I choose Panay beach. That is all just sands, no rocks or caves. Maybe a sandy beach is more safe from an earthquake.

You can go to Panay beach without entrance fee, but if you want to have a comfortable outing, then you'll have to rent a cottage. The cottage costs only 200 to 300 pesos. This is not so bad. There is a table where you can put all your food.

Okay, that's the plan. I only hope everybody will have time to join. I can provide the cottage from my salary, but I hope those who are willing to come can at least share some penny to cover up some of the things needed such as food and drinks. I'm excited, I'd make this come true.

Earthquakes

Yet another earthquake stroke Northern Samar. Before that, there was an earthquake on Luzon. No worries, I am ok, the Samar earthquake was in the sea.

But why do earthquakes keep striking the Philippines? Does this mean a big one is coming? I hope not! Earthquakes happens very often here, and some are so strong that the people get scared. Whenever there is an earthquake in the ocean, there is also the danger of huge waves and a tsunami. This is bad for people living near the coast. In the province, the majority of people live right by the ocean, including myself.

The Philippines are part of a "ring of fire" on earth. These are locations where the continental plates collide with the Pacific plate, i.e. the ground of the Pacific ocean. Those plates drift in different direction, which causes friction. From time to time, the energy of this friction is released, which causes an earthquake or a volcano eruption. It is said that a huge earthquake happens every century.

Anyway I hope that big earthquake does not happen at my place. Disaster can happen anytime, we must be aware of  it in order to be safe. We need to take care of our elders, and we need to teach our kids how to behave to be safe from earthquakes. Though earthquakes cannot be prevented, all we must do is to be careful and always stay away from old building or unstable buildings, and most of all stay away from the ocean when there is a huge earthquake. Be safe!

Rice harvesting

What a wonderful day here in Samar! The skies are brighter than yesterday. Farmers who harvested rice are lucky that today the weather is good for drying their rice under the sun. Last month was the time to harvest rice in the fields. Most people in our barangay grow rice for their own needs, to avoid the high costs of buying it in stores.

Rice farming has a specific time cycle. I think once you planted rice, you'll have to wait 4 months for the harvest. Hence you can harvest twice per year, if the weather is good. Working in rice fields is hard. We all know that province life can be difficult sometimes, but city life is much more difficult though if you have no money. In the province, you can live self-supplying your needs, so you won't go hungry, as long as you are willing to work hard in the fields.

To dry rice, it is just laid on the flat ground exposed to the sun. At that time, the rice looks like gold, but once it is peeled ot becomes whiter. Seeing golden rice makes my heart filled with joy. I am happy for the people who can provide their own rice.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Today's my mom's birthday, and I feel bad that I am not able to greet her on her special day. We are not in good terms, she's too far away from me, and I don't have her contact number. I really do miss my mom! If I could do something to reach her, I would. We haven't seen each other for a long time now. She had been so distant to us, that I don't even know where she is.

If only my mom can read this message! I am her child, and I will not forget her as she gave birth to me, and I'm grateful for that and for everything she has done not just for me but also to my brothers. I love my mom, and I miss her so much! I know I'm not a good daughter to her, but I never forget that she's my mom, and that I love her. I owed her my life.

Happy birthday mom! I wish you nothing but the best in life, good health, and a better life. I hope you're in good hands wherever you are. Always take care, we love you!

Congratulations

Congratulations to everyone who graduated from college or university, with or without honor! You all did a great job! You've made your parents proud by finishing college. The hard work has been paid off. Now that you all are done with education, it is the time to chase after your dreams by finding a job. But first pass the board exam, have faith with God, and God will help you.

I know it wouldn't be easy to start a new life away from school, because you've got used to dealing with home work, examinations, and all. I just wish the best for you all! You may find a better job in the future. Each of us deserves the best thing in life, a better future.

Good luck everyone, it is summer! Be happy, and always think positive! Never give up to life! Keep digging until you reach the unreachable chapter of your dreams!

Craving still for Lechon Kawali

It's been two days since my friend cooked us Lechon Kawali but it feels like just today. When I look at the picture that I took on the table, I can still taste it. I really liked the Lechon Kawali. I wish I could cook as perfect as she did. I'm willing to try to make it soon, and to see whether I can pass as a good cook to my future husband. LOL, just kidding! What I mean is that I want to prove to my auntie that I can cook better that the frying of fishes that I usually do.

I'm excited to cook Lechon Kawali although I'm nervous thinking I might fail and would waste the meat instead. These days, meat is much more expensive. It seems the price goes higher everyday. Well, I need to try to cook, how would I otherwise know whether I am capable of cooking. In fact, what my friend told me about cooking Lechon Kawali was enough for me to learn. I'll keep you guys updated once I succeeded on this. I'll probably write about it later.

Leaving Silago

Here at Silago Terminal waiting for Grand Tours bound to Tacloban. This is going to be a long trip for me, because from here to the city will be 2 hours trip, and then another 3 hours from Tacloban to Samar. Being 5 hours on the road is not that good especially when the road isn't that nice.

Anyway, it was my first time to be in Silago. I've been invited to come here many times, but I never really got time to visit, because whenever I got free time I always go home to my hometown rather than going to other places. Now that I've seen Silago, I think I'd go back here next time. I like it here, so peaceful, and people are very friendly.

My friend's mother is very welcoming. During my 2 days of stay in their house, I got well provided from bed to food. I'm so grateful to have met them all. Even the grandmother of my friend is so nice. I wish I had a grandmother as nice as her. She always talks to me, I never got bored, she's funny as well. Happy that I've got to know them even just a short while.

Face your fears, but stay always careful

You must face your fears, a saying goes. One of my fears is to have an accident when riding motorbike. But I drove all the way to Hernani alone. This is my first longer trip since I learned motorbike recently. I never had the guts of coming here, because I don't trust my driving skills. I am still learning. I can drive, but every time I see a dog on the road I get scared. Animals are unpredictable on the street and I don't want to get into an accident. When I see a dog, I always drive slowly.

One time my cousin got into an accident on the road while driving a motorbike because of a dog. He slowed down when he saw the dog, but it was too late because the dog did an unexpected movement. So they crashed into eachother. My cousin got hurt with many bruises, and he stayed in the hospital for a week. The hospital bill was expensive, and that's not fun. I don't know what happened with the dog, though.

To avoid accident, just drive always carefully! That's what I do. 

Elementary Graduation's day

It has been raining all day today, The weather didn't cooperate with the elementary's graduations day. This is sad, because the bad weather ruined the graduation here in our barangay. The tent didn't help to cover the people that went to watch the event. Everybody got wet, including myself. I even took my DSLR camera with me so that I can take photos of my cousins who are also graduating from elementary. I was glad that I had an umbrella with me, which helps to protect the camera.

As I promised to them, I took photos of them on their graduations. I made enough photos for them that they can keep as souvenirs. It's funny how people have mistaken me for a photographer that takes photos in exchange for money. LOL. I know I am not yet so professional, so I just smiled. But deep inside my head I wished I was. Anyway despite the bad weather the graduation proceeded and finished within this day.

New Cabinet For TV

I just got us a new divider cabinet. I have never purchased furniture before. This is my first time, and I didn't pay all cash. The payment plan is 500 Peso every 15 days for six months. So it costs me 6000 Peso. This plan may look expensive but if I'm able to pay the whole amount earlier than the due date then I will get a refund. The divider looks nice, and the TV has been placed very well.

The reason why I got interested to get this divider is because we don't have a cabinet for the TV, and I don't need to pay the whole amount right away. I cannot bay 6000 Peso at once, but 1000 Peso a month is not bad. I think I can make that. This is going to be my responsibility for six months. I hope everything goes well because I don't want to get into trouble with the seller if I can no longer pay. By the way, I like the divider so much, I can stare at it for hours and just smile. LOL! My auntie will be surprised when she sees the new stuff in the house.

Good morning

Good morning to you all, wherever you are around the world! I hope you have a great day, morning, evening or night.

It's sunny morning here in the Philippines. I decided to write down my thoughts while I am waiting for my breakfast. I never liked breakfast at all, but I want to make a change, so I will have a cup of coffee and scrambled eggs. My cousin is cooking it at the moment.

I think today I'll do something useful. Maybe go to Canhugas this afternoon. I haven't seen Canhugas for a month now. I might take a visit to the place later.

I wish for everyone nothing but the best! Be positive and never take life too seriously! You don't want to get old carrying lots of problems around. Instead, enjoy life! Choose happiness, not sadness! Be with people who value you! Show them the same amount of attention and love they've giving you! That's all. Take care! :)

Goodnight

Good night everyone!

It is bed time here already. I was watching TV and haven't finished to watch the "Rated K" but my cousin sleeping place is nearby the TV, so I needed to turned off the TV. She can't sleep while the light is on. She needs to wake up early for work tomorrow. I understand that.

They're already sleeping now. I can hear them snoring. I wish I could sleep right after closing my eyes. But it never happens. I always have a hard time falling asleep. Also, my phone data doesn't work when I am inside the house, no signal on my both simcard, so I am not using Facebook anymore. I fear I will still be tired when everybody wakes up in the morning. I miss those days when I used to sleep long hours a day. Maybe I need to quit thinking of a lot of things on night time so that I can sleep right away. Or I count imaginary sheeps to fall asleep.

Anyway, I'll try to sleep now! Good night everyone! Sleep well, and sweet dreams. :)


It's all about getting fat

We just had our dinner! We didn't spend a penny for food tonight still we had fresh seafood catched ourself. Happy to be in Samar, I get to eat home food.

When I am in Tacloban, I mostly eat chicken. It is easy to buy, but I am not sure it is always healthy. Now that I am taking vacations in my province, I want to make a change, and eat more fish, vegetables and other healthy food. When I am in Tacloban, I always lose weight. I am much skinnier now than I was last year. College stress, lack of appetite, or tight budget makes me to skip dinner sometimes. That's the reason why I lose weight.

I want to gain some weight, and I think being here with my family will help me. Eating together with the whole family helps to eat more. It also helps to eat at a fixed time point each day, not at random time points. When I'm alone, I am often too lazy to eat, so I sometimes end up not eating anything. But now I need to recover from the times when I skipped food. I will eat a lot while I'm on my vacation.

Planning for a trip

Finally the semester is over. I am back here at Hernani in Eastern Samar. Some of my classmates have started their vacation trips already. Good for them. I hope they can enjoy and make the most of their free time. While I am still thinking where to go, I might just stay home, and wait for the Fiesta in my grandparents' town. I have not seen them for two years now. I miss my grandparents. I think visiting them in this summer is a good idea.

They are very old and I don't know how long they will still stay on this earth. I hope to see them even just for a few days. I still have enough time to plan the trip. I hope I can earn a bit of money to make the trip happen. Last year, they wanted to see me but I had no budget. I heard my mom is also going to their Fiesta. I haven't talked to her for a while now, I hope to see her too when I come.

By the seashore

I am at the seashore watching these people picking seashells. Even my auntie is walking around the shore trying to look for seashells. It's kind of hot right now, it's already 3:30pm yet it is still hot. I don't see my cousin with her. That's too bad, because my cousin is good at picking seashells. I hope my auntie finds enough sea shells for dinner, as this saves money for tonight's meal.

Why am I not helping her? Well, I'm trying to write blogs, that's why. This is my way of making a little bit of money. I usually come here to focus on writing, because no one bothers me here. I can think better when I am alone to a quiet place like this. It helps me to get my thoughts together. I think of many things, sometimes I even dream a bit in the day when looking at the sky. I see people from afar looking at me. I guess they're wondering what I am doing. Whenever I come here, no one dares to come near me. I like it that way when no one bothers me. I cannot write or think when I am in the house because everyone is noisy there.
