Come to me in the silence of the night;
Come in the speaking silence of a dream;
Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright
As sunlight on a stream;
Come back in tears,
O memory of hope, love of finished years.

O dream how sweet, too sweet, too bitter-sweet,
Whose wakening should have been in Paradise,
Where souls brim-full of love abide and meet;
Where thirsting longing eyes
Watch the slow door
That opening, letting in, lets out no more.

Yet come to me in dreams, that I may live
My very life again though cold in death;
Come back to me in dreams, that I may give
Pulse for pulse, breath for breath:
Speak low, lean low,
As long ago, my love, how long ago.

Balinsasayao Nature Park,
San Jose, Negros Oriental
Philippines

The clouds start to go down again on a small lake at Balinsasayao Nature Park.

Lake Balinsasayao
San Jose, Negros Oriental
Philippines

The side of one of the lakes of Balinsasayao Nature Park.

A type of plant interestingly “floats” far from the lake’s shore. Can’t be sure if this was intetionally placed there

the water is too deep to investigate and had no boats at that time.

Blue Lagoon,
Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte
Philippines

This is one of the resort areas of the municipality of Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte.

This place is known as the Blue Lagoon. By car, this place is 1.5 hours from the city of Laoag.

Blue Lagoon is one of the less commercialized resorts in Pagudpud as it is far from the main highway.

Saud Beach
Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte
Philippines

Located about 80 kilometers north of Laoag, this place arguably has the best beaches of NOrthern Luzon.

It is approximately 1.5 hours by car from the city of Laoag, Ilocos Norte.

Ardent Hot Spring Resort
Camiguin,
Northern Mindanao
Philippines

The deepest part of Ardent’s hot spring area.

Its my first time here. I was told, the water is not anymore as warm as before.

Much of the water that is routed to this resort came from one of Camiguin’s springs

from the mountainsides of one of their multiple volcanoes.

This rare hot spring, is probably one of the few nice things to be in an island like this

which is only around 65km in circumference, but houses multiple volcanoes.

White Island
Camiguin, Philippines

Early morning waves arrive at white island too

near the main docking area for small boats from Camiguin mainland.

Cambugahay Falls
Lazi, Siquijor
Philippines

This series of multi-plunge pool area of the river is just approximately 2 kilometers from the town center of Lazi. It is clean, but on a few times, those who take a dip here are as irresponsible as most government officials in the country. Some of them used soap, and had the nerve to show off and jump off the main waterfall with shampoo suds all over his hair. Well, lack of education has always been a cause for slow development in the country, pretty much synonymous for most of the citizens. Anyway, this area of Siquijor is one of the best… nice series of wateralls, deep enough for jumping off the highest point of the main waterfall, and small enough to enjoy.

Under the blue skies of her native land

She languished and began to fade…

Until surely there flew without a sound

Above me, her young shade.

But there stretches between us an uncrossable line;

In vain my feelings I tried to awaken.

The lips that brought the news were made of stone,

And I listened like a stone, unshaken.

So this is she for whom my soul once burned

In the tense and heavy fire,

Obsessed, exhausted, driven out of my mind

By tenderness and desire!

Where are the torments? Where is love? Alas!

For the unreturning days’

Sweet memory and for the poor credulous

Shade, I find no lament, no tears.

Always Be My Baby

DAVID COOK

We were as one babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine
Now you want to be free
So I’m letting you fly
Cause I know in my heart babe
Our love will never die, no!

You’ll always be a part of me
I’m a part of you indefinitely
Girl don’t you know you can’t escape me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby
And we’ll linger on
Time can’t erase a feeling this strong
No way you’re never gonna shake me

Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my… my baby

You’ll always be a part of me (oooohhhh)
I’m part of you indefinitely (oooohhhh)
Girl don’t you know you can’t escape me (ooooohhhhhh)
Ooh darlin cause you’ll always be my baby
And we’ll linger on (and we will linger on)
Time cant erase a feeling this strong (ohhhh)
No way you’re never gonna shake me (oh baby)
Ooh darlin cause you’ll always be my baby
