Please do not give up on me just yet. We’ve had so many good memories together…
Remember when we were the only ones brave enough to get off the tour bus in Amsterdam just to take pictures of the windmill in the middle of the largest storm to hit them in years? We almost got blown away, but we held on to each other…

How about our long, peaceful walks in Norway? We were always surrounded by colors in the forest, on the beach, wherever we went…

How could I forget that December weekend in Copenhagen where there were lights everywhere?

And our journey through the great 7,107… Cebu, Surigao, Bohol, Zambales, Baguio, Baler, Boracay, Iligan… you were always there… on the bus rides, jeepney rides, plane rides, boat rides… even on the trucks we hitched on and the long walks to & from civilization and beyond…
In our homes away from home… You comforted me when I ran away and when I drifted for a while… And you helped me find my way back by reminding me of where I came from and what I’ve been through…
We shared a lot of sunrises…
A lot of sun and sand… (even though I know you don’t like sand as much as I do, you were still a lot of fun to be with…)
We experienced life just as it is…

Thank you, dear Camera. Cheers to all our adventures… and hopefully more!
