The 11th image

The prompt for the writing challenge is the 11th image in my phone. I have already posted that here. After posting photos, I would then delete some to give space for new ones as my phone's memory is at its limit.

What made me take this photo? To show you that this was once a natural landscape. Meaning, natural growth and not farms. You will pass these gardens as you go up the mountain. Sooner or later, the mountain will be claimed by those who bought their lands there.

Making memory

In spite of that, I still made a memory with my sister and my nephews with our hike last Sunday. We sure had fun trying out the new trail to get to the top of the mountain. It was wet, slippery and at times dangerous for one slip will find you at the bottom of a cliff still alive but badly bruised for sure. When we got to the top and arrived at the registration area, the staff there told us that a group who came before us earlier that day took the same route that we did and they were riddle with leeches. Although the ground was still wet when we climbed, thankfully we didn't encounter leeches.

I'm grateful for the artists before me.

As I mentioned before, I don't have particular favorites when it comes to authors or artists or musicians. I like music in general. I like reading in general. I do appreciate arts in general. The world is full of them and you might be one of them. That's why I appreciate you all and thank you for sharing your story, your music, your art, your life.

One way or the other, you inspire people. You may not see it for you may consider it insignificant but you are making an impact. Keep making your words matter, your actions speak.

I got this from CrazyWrites. You can read more about it here. The challenge says to tag someone but I can't do that so I just try to share some of my experiences.

I have talked about life and cried and that during my drunken days. I was young. I was full of expectations and disappointments. I have lots of angst. I am failed myself, my family and the people around me. I have a lot to take out to the world. Those days, alcohol is the panacea to all my problems. Those were the days.

I didn't dance in the rain but played and had fun for sure. It was in high school when one afternoon we boys in the dorm were bored. It was raining hard and one thing led to another and we found ourselves playing football in the field. We don't really know how but we just started kicking a ball and chasing each other. Yeah, I guess we danced in our own way.

The only reason I would skip class is to watch something on tv. When I was younger, I'd reason out headache or stomachache. When I was in high school, that's the time when we started exploring things for the first time. I was away from home. I was in a new environment. I have freedom. When I started working, I won't go to work because I really hate the nature of work. It came to a point that I cried because of stress because of work. It gave me anxiety attacks, not eating/sleeping regularly. It's not healthy anymore. I do love the people though and some of them are my friends to this day.

I can't remember if I was ever lost and I don't go to the gym.
