Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao Ating Puntahan

Last night, out of severe "nothing-to-do"ness, I picked up the Travel and Leisure magazine my mom swiped from our VTR last Saturday. While perusing through the publication, I cannot control my interest and occasional murmurs of praise of the pictures of pristine beaches and vacation spots - all of which are in the Philippines..

"Wow Philippines"

What struck me most was that some of the articles were written by my professor last term - and most of the pictures he was bragging about in class (heck, we had a full session with him just showing off his pictures in his laptop) were printed there.

Although I have to admit, as much as the pictures seem to be dazzling -reality is.. pictures lie. Pictures just focus on a particular point and on a particular view thus making it seem visually pleasing - imagine it in a full blown perspective (we have two eyes remember? So two eyes means wider range of sight) and it may seem to be less enchanting than it really is... but of course, some pictures still work their magic no matter how much you expand it in your imagination... :D

This morning, I checked the website, and it proved to be equally promising. I think the itch to travel is back.. but the wallet/bank account is still swaying its head from side to side... Oh well..

Back to reality.
