#bythecliff

Just imagine.

Biking through a rocky road along walls of plants and trees. You could smell the ocean from where you are. Approaching the cliff, you could see the ocean's different shades of blue and green and the horizon with the island of Cebu connecting the ocean with the sky. Pedalling by the cliff, you could feel - a few feet away - the waves crashing through the rocks. You sped as the sun starts to hide behind the mountainous island far from your reach. Seconds past, you reach the edge of the cliff. Stunned.

You with your bike by a rocky cliff. The song of the sea making you fall in love (parang hina harana ka ni Mother Nature). You staring at the sun-kissed horizon with hints of orange and purple. The cool sea breeze flowing through your sun-burnt flesh. Breath-taking. Even the small pond on the rocky cliff completes the scenery.

The only thing missing at that moment was a camera. Of all the things to leave at home, it was the camera due to the situation of your job. And your phone doesn't have one either. You even left it at the work post.

This happened to me. Although I could not share it with you guys, I have this proud and selfish child-like feeling that only I (or one of the few) that could witness that moment. That precious moment that could even all troubles seem to drift away. That moment that makes you feel that everything seems to fall into place. When you feel purpose living in a world like ours. Feeling that everything is right. Never wanting to leave. Just pause that moment and throw away the control. But everything must come to an end. I must go.

It was Heart breaking but I got pumped up to share my experience to the world. If you could only see what i saw with my impaired-but-corrected vision, you would understand why I suddenly made something like this.
