Few weeks ago, I
went to Pundaquit in San Antonio, Zambales with my officemates. Being the more
senior within the group, I was in charge of organizing the trip. My officemates
thought planning would be easy for me since I told them I have been to Pundaquit
a couple of times already. Then I realized I don't remember anything valuable
or significant from my experiences. I was shocked at how little I know about
going on a trip to Pundaquit, given that I have been to the place three or four
times already. I can't even recommend for a good place to stay.
And then I
panicked. Is it only Pundaquit? How about the other places I've been to?! Have
I forgotten them as well??! It was a very sad realization, thinking that I went
to these amazing places, experienced a lot of things, without really learning
or remembering much. I have been traveling a lot these past years, and to think
that I probably won’t recall most of it is just, I don’t know, a downer.

So I've decided
to give blogging another shot. Maybe the thought that I would have to write
down a summary of my trip would make me more mindful of where I go and what I
do. Writing it down would be a way of immortalizing my experiences. And I would
have something to look back to in case my memory fails me again.
