It's been a while since I went put of town with my family, and I pretty ecstatic when my mom told me we were going to Subic because I've been itching to go to the beach for quite some time now. I was a bit disheartened when she told me we were going to Ocean Adventure, but I was excited nonetheless. (Who wouldn't be excited to see dolphins up close!?)

Since we left early, we had breakfast at Jollibee before picking up my stepbrother at Tarlac. After a long drive, we stopped over at Shakey's for lunch due to excessive hunger and bladder problems.

I had a huge lunch which just goes to show how seriously I'm taking my diet.

Then, we headed off to Ocean Adventure.

Say hi to the fishes, dolphins and sea lions!

Although it rained hard and the skies were gray and heavy, it was a good day.

Sadly, there's no telling how long the skies will stay monochromatic.

My soul is as dry and as barren as the desert. The oases are almost empty, but nonetheless, I drink before I continue to nowhere. My feet are wandering from place to place aimlessly. The sun is too high to see anything, and I find myself constantly blinded by the light.  My knees are weak, and my entire body feels as fragile as glass. Every time the wind blows, I could feel my bones break little by little. I am exhausted beyond belief, and I wish to rest my head and sleep for a day or two. But no matter how much I would like to take a break, I can't. I have to find my way out of this desert because I know it will never rain; there is no place for me here.


And so, I think: How long must I continue wandering?
