    The Secret Life of A Social Misfit

    Every new acquaintance starts with the question “what do you do for a living”. And, in an era with a high regard for successful and extraordinary lives, we always try to give a spectacular answer to impress the person asking that question. Let’s face it, we all want to be adored and become a subject of someone’s interest.

    Marmol Cliff And My Enchanting Time Travel Adventure

    Sibonga And Its Therapeutic, Enriching Mountains

    My heart raced. With each breath, my heart pounded loudly like the rhythms of a tribal drum. As I was standing precariously on a steep slope in a secluded mountain in Sibonga, I could feel sweat dripping into my eyes and my mouth going dry.  And, with a torn left glute and 24 hours of no sleep, this outdoor exploration in Sibonga seemed like a recipe for disaster.  As I was taking a deep breath, and soaking up the scent of soil, I felt a wave of joy flooding through me.  My heart fluttered with excitement, with each step and every obstacle I conquered.  Moments later, I found myself at…
