This blog is my creative outlet where I can share my photos, my travels, my random thoughts and a bit of myself.
I should have been in my home town now if it had not been for the pandemic.
I miss my place of birth.
… my family and friends back home.
… speaking in my native tongue.
… eating my native food.
… having cheap massages
… touring the islands near and far
Here are some steps from my mother land. Photos from Ilocos and Taal in the Philippines.

Such a shame you are unable to visit your home town 😢 These B&W photos of steps are very effective!

Thanks Sarah. And yes, it has been a long time. I was supposed to visit in 2017 for my nephew’s wedding but didn’t push through because I had my stroke. Then this year again. Hopefully soon!

I could identify the cheap massage, Teresa. Luckily, the ‘Chinatown’ 25 miles away still has such an offer!

Same feels. In the Philippines I can have a massage any time I feel like it…here in Melbourne I still have to think twice if I really need it haha

I know, Teresa. The regular massage is about $1 per minute, but in the Asian community, it’s $20 to $30 an hour. I sometimes have it when I go there.

Very nice pics. I especially like the first pic with the very old looking stairs and the very modern windmill. It must be so hard not to be able to get home.
