Something weird is happening.
My life is unravelling before me…
This, on my 36th year of existence, jurassic by some standards, hardly the age for new beginnings.

Inspired by BFF Blue Sneakers’ belief to spend the new year away from home (and so welcome a year of travelling and discovery), I scheduled an overnight stay at the Tagaytay Highlands for my family.
