It’s been several months since I last visited Bicol. I got a chance to be with my family and most of my relatives again due to my cousin’s wake — an instant reunion! I was On-Leave so this would be an opportunity for me to relax, de-stress, and sleep a lot, until….
I was bitten by an ant in my right eye! It was about 3am. It was really painful but I didn’t get up. I said that it’s just mind over matter. The pain will just pass. So I slept for few more hours. When I woke up and opened my eyes, I can only see 3/4!

What I mean by 3/4 vision is, full view on my left eye and only half view on my right eye.. Hehehe. I do have a reason now to wear shades. And this won’t stop me from re-visiting our hacienda! Heeeheheee.. Just kidding, we’re just trespassing :-)


I spent 4 days in Albay, but I wasn’t able to see the perfect cone. I wish I could blew those gloomy clouds.. or I guess, Mayon was just too humble and shy that day.
