What about my 2010?

I GOT TO TRAVEL THE WORLD --- such an exaggeration-- but the happiness itself is really something exaggerated!

• NUEVA ECIJA - journalism competition with ERICA, KAT, XUNI. This is when I began to love these three girls, pretty, rich, sometimes stubborn. -- 
• ILOCOS NORTE - educational tour with my st.rose - singing STOP by the Spice Girls. Beautiful Vigan! The best food in the world is found here! 
• BAGUIO CITY - retreat - the best place to reflect about my life and my journey. 
• DAVAO CITY - national competition with ERICA. I just included this place in my history. I spent more than a week with Erica - the bright little girl of mine. She has the mighty pen. --- In here, I experienced electricity blackout every 6pm, and copters are all sky-guarding the entire place. That made us all scared. Tagum is a place to be developed, not just the land, but the people. I saw smiles in the faces of each resident. They felt normal - because the competition was held in their place - which is believed like the NPAs and the ABUSAYAFS hideout. They were all happy - seeing us parade - waving our hands --- it made me feel so lucky --- lucky to be normal. 
• BATANGAS - beach fun - the first time I wore two piece (whoooooooo) - just a proof that our country is indeed - rich in scenic spots and accommodating people. 
• HONG KONG - blessed by Deck and Mommy Nida. What a wonderful place! I felt like its my birthday and God and Santa conspired to make me experience cloud-9. I was so happy - magical indeed. The landmarks and the food - the first time I ever tasted a genuine steak. The hotels are very inviting - it made me feel not to go back home. So much like a dream. I saw Filipinos in every corner. Its just valid to say - FILIPINOS are really world class. Imagine a Filipino musician leading a band performing in front of the world - I mean different nationalities - that is truly something great! This made a -feeling- rich for four days. Really unforgettable. I will go back there!

I have been to different places, but not as many as this in a single YEAR. That's what I really love about my 2010. I had steps in Mindoro, Pangasinan, Macau, Zambales, Tarlac, Pampanga, Tagaytay, farthest spots in Bulacan, I forgot others. But I love travels, if I got big pocket - this is the kind of hobby I am willing to gamble everyday of my Life. I know these are just small places compared to those who had gone million miles. But I am filled with pride because I don't simply travel - I study - I ask - I meet people.
