This map has been stagnant for so long already. Long gone are the days of travel splurge and exploration-during my childhood, high school and college days. The last province that I’ve explored was Ilocos Sur and Vigan City. The rest are “revisits.” I haven’t added up any province since December 2009. Well, priorities first, work, family and sustainability. Travel later. If I travel, I just don’t like it to be another lamierda-in which I discovered, has a very foul meaning (in Spanish, la mierda means “the shi*”-from the term ‘voy/vamos a la mierda’ probably referring to wasteful wandering and along with it is spending). For now, I’ll just be patient. After all, Philippines is not just my ultimate aim to conquer, but also the rest of the world-especially Latina Americana!

Ambitious but I know posible! Just have the patience and the will to do more.

Ahorita, en trabajo, familia y yo mismo. En futuro, ¡el resto de Filipinas y todo del mundo!
