mindanao-bound.again.

the moment i stepped on my boat back to cebu on june 27in cagayan de oro, the first thing i uttered on the calm waves of the night sea was "i am coming back."

and i meant it.

eversince i arrived in cebu the next day, that was the thought that was primarily filling my everyday. and why not? mindanao is marvelous. northern mindanao is particularly captivating.

cagayan de oro for one, has enchanted my heart. the bridges at night spells magic on the air it soothes even the most tired souls. especially with wonderful people, of course. the first time i saw cagayan de oro some years ago, i instantly fell in love with it and few trips back later, i just knew i had to stay longer in this place.

iligan city, on the other hand has its own otherworldly feel. it’s like longing to be touched further, further, deeper into its core. the roads for me are mysterious. It has to be a place i should frequent.

camiguin of course, is breath-taking, no contest.

then there’s bukidnon, marawi, maguindanao nearby.each waiting to be loved more, each calling out my name as i was sailing away.

the truth is, i cannot explain why this strong longing to go back to northern mindanao. I really cannot come up with a really noble objectives. All i honestly know is, i git to be back there soon.

on the other hand, my bohemian spirit aside, i know i can do something worthwhile and relevant on that northern part of the south.
