I am happier than ever. Bantayan Island's Bayani Challenge did me some good. It was the best weeks ever and it really helped me get better, if you know what I'm saying. I just feel so inspired and motivated right now to really help eradicate poverty here in the Philippines. It is possible if you just believe.
Gawad Kalinga has taught me how to love. Not a love for a specific someone but a whole bigger kind of love. A love for the country I have been living for 20 years. Also, a love for an island I wouldn't forget :)
Here's to 2024. A new life and to a new crush <:

Someday the meaning of poverty will only be found in dictionaries and not in the lives of the Filipinos.

Another thing, Bantayan Island is now my favorite beach destinations. I love beaches that are not overrated, like Boracay. I love Boracay but in Bantayan, it's just very peaceful and the moment I step into its sand, I know that it will be my new favorite place. When I was there, it was the first time I saw 6 shooting stars in one night. That's the nice thing about provinces, it's darker so you can see and appreciate the beauty of the stars more :) I will definitely go back to this place :)
