Over 7000 islands make up the Philippines. Boracay is one of the many stunning beaches. I painted a boat with the words "Sunkissed" on it, which I took a picture of while I was walking along the beach; a wooden figure of ancestral spirits known as an "anito," which we discovered on our way to a back road cafe; as well as a glimpse of a thrilling parasailing adventure.

Boracay has more things to do for curious visitors. Beside what it's known for around the world, as far as I might be concerned, it's a safe-haven of recollections, of fun with friends, of past adoration, a touch of misfortune, and endless conversations. Naturally, I will always adore it for its exquisite white sand and perfect sunsets.
