Sanctuary

She has finally packed her bags.

I just realised that we don’t know if we will ever be there again.

Our little paradise in the middle of nowhere. 110 km from Metro Manila. So many trips, up and down, on a road that brought us close to death, but closer to each other.

Seven years ago, I would never have imagined that this little refinery town would have so much to do with my life. Now, our lives. Well, it even features prominently in our wedding photo-shoot.

My two years there, the best two years of my life, that yielded some of my closest friends, wildest experiences, most important self-realisations,… And, my wife.

On the way in, a carefree graduate, fresh out of school, on an everything-paid graduation trip. On the way out, a worried boyfriend, fresh into a relationship, staring at Mount Impossible.

I promised to keep coming back. I kept.

A special place.
