For the 1st time since I started The Diary, I did not blog on a Monday. Why? I walked and jogged on Track 30th and, well, I took a break from writing. And that’s what I want to share in my 12th Notes to Self.
For my new readers of The Diary, Notes to Self is where I quote something note-worthy from any media or someone I know. In this 12th edition of Notes to Self though, this is a literal note to self.
Continue reading Notes to Self XIINow’s the perfect time to break the wall
and let out the loudest bawl
for I am finally reinvigorated
and depression is obliterated
Now’s the perfect time to break the wall
and get ready for the next brawl
All of my demons should run
My road to redemption has begun
Now’s the perfect time to break the wall
and tell Death to recall
This is not the end of my story
I will run through life with fury

OK. What can I type here in under 30 minutes even if I’m lazy as fuck?
Tonight is our last night here in Cagayan. My legs are sore and I have a bit of a cold, and that explains why I’m lazy to write. But I have been doing a good job blogging frequently since February 6, and I don’t want to ruin my streak. So, here I am.
Tomorrow at 6am, we will go back to Manila. A part of me is glad to return home; another part is dreading. There are a few things in the trip that I find disappointing, but overall I had a great time. I hope we can go back to Cagayan annually like we used to, and I hope we can bring more companions. As they say, “The more, the merrier.”
As for my legs being sore, I got the pain from a 300+ step journey to Cape Engaño Lighthouse in Palaui Island, Santa Ana, Cagayan. Good grief, I’m so sore. But I got several photos of the breathtaking 360-degree view of Dos Hermanas Island, so the pain is somehow worth it. Now I have more content for my Cagayan post, and I hope to finish everything next week. I will see.
As I said, tomorrow we will go back to Manila. Tomorrow is Maundy Thursday, so we will expect traffic and a few closed establishments. And there will be more closed shops on Good Friday. With that, I will take another break and reflect, and then I will get my favorite affogato at Satchmi on Black Saturday or Easter Sunday.
And time’s up.
