Something about the air surrounding my hometown that makes one do the same things over and over again. Take sleeping and eating for example–such a deadly combo that I have easily mastered growing up in a small town and unsurprisingly still able to do like second nature during my short vacation in Ormoc City. That was why it came as a surprise that I, along with my entire human brood of eaters and sleepers, was able to drag myself out of bed (and the dining table) and drive the bumpy roads, with equally shady people living alongside it, to this mountaintop where Lake Danao nestles in. Yes, it’s a lake on top of a mountain, how cool can it get?

I say cool enough to hold a picnic aboard a floating cottage! And on this bright windy day, I chose to wear a pair of high waist shorts, a thin white tank and made a swanky windbreaker out of this floral cover-up because trust me, if the wind blows cold up on those mountains, it ain’t gonna be fun.;)

Face devoid of make up sans the bright lipstick, I took pleasure in just being around nature and family.

I wonder if this lake is as deep as they say it is? If that’s the case, I’m glad I used this lux sling bag by Tod’s (that I happily borrowed from my sister) to keep my valuables because with my questionable buoyancy, there is no telling how I’d ever retrieve my stuff if they fall in the water.LoL

So happy to share just one of the many wonderful gifts that comes with growing up in the province. All flora and fauna around you while you sleep, eat and repeat.:)
