About

I made a blog, lifebeginsat25 when i turned 26.

Had it going for about a year, then stopped.

Thought I already knew what I wanted that time.

Things changed when I turned 27, particularly my mind.

At 28, my friend bought a house and gave me a room at 9PeregrineStreet— made a few posts <some of which you might actually enjoy>, but then i lost inspiration and my mind got really messy. Exhibit A: Pangkiliti sa Kukote.

When I turned 29, my mind got even messier, I didn’t know what to write about. Mid-life crisis?

Then, I came home to Cam Sur. I welcomed the quiet, the cool and fresh air, the greens, the morning rooster crow, the occasional early morning fog, and home-cooked meals.

Then, inspiration struck me. I wanted to write again.

In just a few months I have realized how much I haven’t yet explored about my hometown, how little I know about our region, and how I missed my childhood favorites.

Come with me as I explore and re-discover Bikol’s beauties, creativities, delicacies, and festivities.

And as you read, I hope you’ll be inspired to visit.

When, and if you do, I would be happy to make arrangements for you.

I’ll still be visiting my other home at 9PeregrineStreet.
