The Red Barn Davao
There are beautiful places in these islands that I do not particularly want to share, and have been hesitant to do so.Β 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.

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 Β© Jojie Alcantara #FullWormMoon# #newbeginningsο»Ώ
My birthday song
