Dubbed the most Beautiful Island in the world for 2 straight years, 2014 and 2015, Palawan, Philippines! Awesome.
I call it home.
I wake up to the sound of the waves, I get up and see the blue and white sand as I feel the softness of the morning breeze in my skin massaged from the night before, it saves.
After the first sip of the local aromatic coffee, I read some Psalm and Proverbs. Grateful for a new day, truly, life is splendid! I can't say Gee.
My routine breakfast is a whole ripe Yellow Mango fruit and cereal. Just about the right meal before I take a quick swim where I commune with the school of tiny yellows.
20 minutes of lapping when the water is calm and i'm ready to come running. To take a shower off the salty water in our outdoor shower by a Coconut Tree, it matters. Okey..I lap 3 minutes and play 17 lol, alright...partly sing on some of those coz I know no one can hear me but the 1 i care to please above the skies who loves me.
Off Grid living....ah...this changes a lot. It means no Aircon on midday and it can really be hot.
You begin to sweat and you got work to do. Yes, there is so much work in Paradise, to afford living in it, too.
Dealing with helpers who doesn't exactly speak the same language you do can be daunting. 2 Hours of work and you feel like you worked 8. It's so hard i feel like in the era that to eat you got to do some hunting.
By 5PM in the afternoon, you ask yourself, it this really worth it? The magnificent hues in the skies when the Sun sets seems to tell me so, you get it?
Solar night lights turned on and i head to the beach, lay a mat and gaze at the stars. Oh my, there has to be a Creator of such a magnificence, it erases all my hearts scars.
I lay in a hammock for a bit, close my eyes and calm my self with the sound of the waves! I walk back to the beach house and see on the wall, my friend Gecko saying goodnight with his "tuck o" like telling it's time to tuck in and go.
All is fine, until the first rain of the rainy season begins to drop in my mane.
Signal begins to fail and I can't be online. It's a sign to head back to civilization and head to winters be in line.
