Bicol: Of Magnificence

"I will dedicate and sacrifice my everything,
for just a seconds worth of how my story's ending.
And I wish I could know if the directions that I take,
and all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing.

I just came back from the splendid beauty of Bicol in what I can say is the best Bicol experience I ever had. As my friends know how much I like the province travelling there almost every other week two years ago. A friend of mine celebrated his birthday there. With a total travel distance of 1150km. I drove more than 12 hours going to Legaspi City, and off stopping at Tabaco where the Mayon Volcano is just one of the spectacular view of the barrio. As hard as I try to capture every moment, I just hope that there's an equipment that would be able to see what beauty the eyes is able to witness. There is no place I've been to that inspires me more than Bicol does. Of course, I would say that my 16 hour journey to Banawe through Halsema Highway thrilled me more due to the fact that death just exists in one wrong turn. Overall, the experience was truly fascinating. You can view the other pictures in http://kalsada.com/gallery/

Magnificence



"show me what it's for. make me understand it.
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer.
Is there something more than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer.




"help me carry on.
assure me it's ok,
to use my heart and not my eyes to navigate the darkness.
will the ending be ever coming suddenly?
will I ever get to see the ending to my story?





"so when and how will I know?
how much further do I have to go?
how much longer until I finally know?
because I’m looking and I just can't see what's in front of me.




Perceived Perfection
