    You look like a completely different person with the hair. :)

    happy new year, jan!!! whether or not that's a compliment, i'll take it as one HAHA, sorry. different is what i was aiming for. i figured i can't do much to make myself look worse than i already do, so might as well try something new.

    hey was really close to buying a digital SLR here, but decided would rather have my point-and-shoot and go to more places than have a really nice camera and have no money to go anywhere :P will just continue to envy your pictures till i have more funds....

    Didn't you already have a digital SLR? What happened to it?

    Forgive me for the ambiguous compliment... on one hand, the look suits you but it totally changes your appearance. On the other hand, I thought you looked really pretty with the old look. :)

    And Happy New Year! Me and my SLR will live vicariously through the pictures of your various travels around the globe, taken with your trusty point-and-shoot. Hehehe. Traveling abroad is a distant dream that I hope will take place this year.

    Give me the specs of the camera and the lenses. I'll ask around if anyone's interested.

    haha wasn't fishing for such an intricate compliment but thanks, jan ;P anyway, time will tell what works, since this dye is supposed to last six months--meaning my whole stay in spain.... and i hope we bump into each other somewhere this year!

Boljoon: More Reasons to Return

Image
8 and 9 June 2007. When editor Kristin Llerin asked me to write about Boljoon for the Cebu Yearbook, I asked, "Why ME?". I'd just written an article on it a few months before for the Lifestyle page (supposedly, it was what inspired the Yearbook editors to feature Boljoon in the yearbook), and I felt I had written all I had in me to write about Boljoon, after years of yearning for it. I'd explored all I wanted to. It was a closed book, as far as I was concerned. "Because you like to travel!" she said. Fine. It was MY Boljoon, after all, so I thought it might as well be me. When I got there on a Friday morning (the first weekend of the schoolyear, and I was already on another "vacation" :P) to interview some government officials, I discovered that there was an archeological dig going on in front of its historic church, and that there were actually still a couple of places I hadn't been to...which some of the locals hadn't even heard of, eit...

Turning 29 with my Twin

Image
21 to 23 November 2008. After a horrendous week of coursework deadlines (gave a presentation on the 19th itself, stayed at the library till 5 a.m. that night to finish my chemistry paper due at noon the next day, woke up early on the 20th to proofread my paper, reprint and submit, then practice for another presentation at 1 pm), I finally got to properly celebrate the last year of my 20's on a tour of different villages along the English Jurassic coast (a UNESCO World Heritage site) in the county of Dorset. This year, though, I had the improbable (and ironic) surprise of actually having a classmate who's exactly my age. We found out we had the same birthday because we were groupmates for that presentation we had on our birthday :P So what's the probability of celebrating your birthday with someone exactly your age? Very small, I'm sure, and probably never again, so this was a rare gift. Because we both had all our November deadlines over last Thursday, we decided to do...

The Art of Wandering

lost and found by Jeneen R. Garcia to be published (or maybe not) on 26 April 2008     I don’t have a mole on either foot to prove it, but I’ve been called gypsy, nomad, and other tribes of similar occupation too often to deny it. Instead of a caravan, I have my backpack with essential clothing, toiletries, and electronic gadgets to keep me covered wherever night may catch me. If I’m moving house, I tow along my suitcase of books and diving gear as well.   I’m in the middle of yet another move to another city. In the last two years, I’ve lived no longer than five consecutive months in any single place--something I didn’t realize until THIS transit. I’ve shipped my stuff from one city to another so many times that packing up has become second nature; my suitcase is always on standby for quick departures.   Relocating? It’s easy: post an ad in Friendster and other social networking sites saying you’re looking for a place to live in whatever city you’re headed ...
