I went out and headed to Poblacion today, which held the Mindanao Art Exhibit 2021, a gathering of talented artists all over Mindanao. Stunning artworks to view all over two floors.

There are beautiful places in these islands that I do not particularly want to share, and have been hesitant to do so. These are serene spots you just want to preserve and protect yet at the same time you want others to feel what you went through.

Nature’s hope in a pandemic
I’ve found that there is always some beauty left—in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you.

Hello, 2021
This was the last full moon of 2020, captured on December 30. I waited for it through days of rain.
Boracay Sunset
Forever that excited girl who acts like a kid when skies transform into pretty colors and that golden ball dips and winks in the horizon. I forget everything else. 📷 My pic taken by Chef Ann Austria [ Sunset, Boracay 12.13.2019 ]

Dahican at dawn
Not everyone was privileged to see another sunrise like you did, so before you start complaining; remember that the breath of life, is not for sale.

Man and sea

Dahican surfing

Flower Full Moon
“I am a child of the Moon being raised by the Sun in a world walked by stars and a sky drawn with flowers.” ~Zara Ventris
Super Worm Moon 2019
Selenophilia is a love of the moon. I love gazing at its beauty wherever I travel. I admit I tend to do crazy stuff influenced by the lunar cycle (menstrual phase in disguise). I have a strange affinity with this night beacon during bouts of insomnia. Tonight from our porch, I basked in the glow of the full Worm Moon while capturing its mystic serenity. It teaches us to learn from past mistakes and move forward to new beginnings, like tidal ebbs and flows. How about you? Are you willing to let go of your past? :- 03.22.2019 © Jojie Alcantara #FullWormMoon# #newbeginnings

My birthday song
I open up my heart and
I’m gonna do my part and
Make this a positively beautiful day.
Sunrise in Dawis
What I know for sure is that every sunrise is like a new page, a chance to right ourselves and receive each day in all its glory. Each day is a wonder. ~Oprah Winfrey
