All there is to know is that you are in the Philippines.
Yet, the country is not supposed to be this way! It should be filled with the
hustle and bustle of the city! There should be business! There should be
traffic! But Technology is nowhere to be seen! Instead you are situated in the
center of Eden: calm and in perfect balance with your yin and yang. You are
witnessing nature at its finest.
You feel all your inhibitions slowly slipping. You tried to
take in your lungs the salty scent of the nearby sea. Why, you have never seen
a sea so cerulean like the eyes of a god staring right into your soul. Pinching
yourself, you now doubt, are you still alive?
You peered at the depths of the ocean…you see the beginning
of life in the form of fishes. Yes. Fishes varying in color—teasing your
senses, playing with your fancy. You see corals: a textured rainbow in the deep
blue. Your trance cannot end. You still need to taste whatever ambrosia this
place has to offer.
Caramoan is just one part among the 7,107 islands that make
up the Philippines. Its white sand is just one among the millions surrounding
the country. You feel you have seen everything presented to you by the heavens
above. You forget the life you left behind. You are at peace.
You do not know how long you will be staying here. You do
not know, as well, if you shall be salvaged. The only thing you know is that if
this is a nightmare, it is one you wish to stay in eternally. Caramoan.
Felicity. Ecstasy. Nirvana.
Will you still strive to leave and abandon this dream?
XOXO,
Nikki
