The beach is one of the few things I miss about the Philippines. Just a few minutes drive and you get to relax, forget about work, and enjoy the sun and the sea. Beaches are quite rare here in Singapore and are way too far from the ones we have back home. The good side of being here though is being able to explore the beaches of other countries - Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia.

For the past few weeks, we've been so tied up with work and some paperwork on the side. And the beach has been calling us to sit back, relax, and get a massage. Finally, the long overdue weekend getaway has come, and off we go to Bintan.
Bintan Agro Beach Resort - offers a birthday package (you can actually avail of it even if it's not your birthday) that includes breakfast, dinner, and a choice of either massage or water activity. The package rates range from 129-150sgd. A 2-hour (busted a/c) ferry ride, an hour drive to the resort from the port, then we reached our destination. The staff are friendly and accommodating; the place is clean; food is delish, and the massage by the beach is relaxing.

For me, “Thank you” will always be as important as “I’m Sorry” and “I Love you”. Even the simplest gesture of appreciation is often times forgotten by many. Little do they know, what these words can do, the changes it bring and the meaning it gives to someone’s life.
My family and friends (old and new), will always be a part of my thank you list. They’ve always been supportive to all my endeavors, joined me in my roller-coaster adventures, listened to my unending rants and stayed despite my indescribable tantrums. From Patty Laurel’s blog post entitled, “Thank someone who has changed your life”, this person came to mind and I thought of writing this entry to say thank you.
“God sends people your way for a reason, there are no accidents when it comes to people. Each relationship serves a special purpose in your life.”
Thank you for being you. For opening my eyes to a lot of possibilities and making me feel appreciated even to the smallest thing I do. For listening and understanding, for reminding me that I shouldn’t settle for something less and I deserve better. For that excited look on your face every time I turn on this chef mode in me. For the subs and big-little surprises. Everyday, the list goes on and I will always be grateful. You indeed came for a reason, stayed for a purpose and will continue to be a blessing.
Who do you want to thank today?

...because I never got the chance to introduce her.
Few years back, I imagine myself carrying those bulky cameras with huge lenses on my escapades. The DSLR shutter sound is music to my ear and thought one day I'll own one. Later I realized that it would be a hassle to bring along heavy and humongous stuff on trips. Then I decided to buy a camera that's handy, of good quality and stylish. Meet the retro chic, Paige!
