I kicked off September with the launch of our third album, Sa Panaginip Lang (Only In Dreams,) and spent most of the month promoting it on TV, radio, and other platforms.
Come October, we were off on our US concert tour, spanning New York, New Jersey, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Honolulu. At every stop, I managed to escape work to roam in and out of cities for a few hours, and I’m grateful for all the friends who shared their time to be with me.

When we arrived in Manila in November, it was back to work for everyone. I spent those weeks picking up the backlog from my clinical practice, setting make-up therapy sessions with my clients, and finishing progress reports. In December, things started to get busy with holiday events. We were invited to fly to Cebu for a gig, and it gave me the chance to visit its less-traveled spots afterward.

Since we were already in the region, we went even further south and spent a couple of days in New Zealand. That deserves its own post as well, because I was so happy to be back after 10 years; and perhaps because of how much I’ve changed since then, it seemed even more beautiful.

I dedicated all of January to work, and started writing my friends’ second book. The process was slow because I was whisked away on all weekends of February. We had gigs with a foundation, for a baptism, and I got the opportunity to sing with one of my favorite local artists. Sometime in and around that period, I took a friend’s fiancé to see the clouds, and I hiked through some canyons and visited several shores.

Whew! It’s March now, and I’m renewing my passport in April. Let’s see where else this year takes me. I’m, more than ever, encouraged to keep exploring and finding wherever happiness leads me… and I wish everyone could have a piece of that. So, I’ll put it out there for commitment: I’ll be sharing my travel itineraries! If I help even one person put together an enjoyable trip, it’ll all be worth it. Bye for now, and MABUHAY!
