Here's a quick round-up of our recent visit to Malapascua. Some of my friends have been asking me "how to go there," "how much did we spend," and "how was it."

Quick yet refreshing dip last weekend. This is how "take what you can and leave everything behind" looks like.

This is how it looks when I try to see the world differently. For the longest time, I've enjoyed seeing the world on my own. But it doesn't hurt to have someone to see it with. Actually, I find it a bit more interesting.
is a really awesome photographer. Thanks for this captured moment. 💖

Perhaps it's during this time of the day (sunset) that makes the sky "vulnerable to show its true emotions". If that was the case, then it's pretty obvious that indeed, the sky up above is happily celebrating. It's Christmas, after all. 🙂
Merry Christmas, everyone! ⭐️🙏🏼♥️

This video was taken on the 4th of July this year, somewhere at the top of the tallest structure in Coba Mayan Ruins at Tulum, Mexico.
I thought I was gonna skip a visit here after seeing the other archeological sites but I am glad that I went there--much because of the great company I was with. They are somewhere in the video (below 😊) and thankfully, they invited me to tag along. It seems like only yesterday. I know one day I will see them again somewhere where there is good food--for sure! Oh, hello and ❤️
I wish I have the capacity to put all my content from the past few years together so that I could come up with a more epic personal documentary. But as much as I love "curating" my feed, it is super time consuming and the truth is, life happens and I prefer spending that time making moments up front. 😁

The time has come for me to embrace what I have been feeling for the past few months: "to take a vacation from the long-term vacation."

Today, I went for my first day of work.

Honestly, I am not sure if I am really, truly ready for this type of commitment after being used to following my whim of desires in the past 2 years. But somehow, it felt right to just go, jump, and trust that everything is meant to be. Maktoob 💫

I wrote this post two days ago because everything just felt so surreal. It still is, actually.

Cheers to a new chapter to all of us. 💫

There’s a wave of nostalgia that is running through my body. On Friday, in exactly 32 hours and 36 minutes from now, I am officially taking an indefinite vacation from my long-term vacation. In layman’s term, I am going back to the corporate world of employment. The past two years has been surreal.…

I miss diving in the Cenotes! Diving there is one of the most unique, spectacular, mystical, surreal experiences ever. No wonder Fazza also went there! Ayiiii

The Perhentian Islands is one of Malaysia’s treasures located at the Northeastern part of the peninsula. For the rest of the world, it is a well-kept secret that is barely known. But for locals and travelers alike, this place is hard to miss.

"IT WASN’T UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING WHEN EVERYTHING MADE SENSE.

The view.

The vibe.

The lifestyle.

THE PERHENTIAN IS A DEFINITION OF A “BACKPACKING” HOLIDAY."

When it comes to amazing natural landscape, I'd give it to the Isle of the Skye in Scotland.

It's a SURREAL place to travel to. If hearing legends, seeing castles, and being at breathtaking wonders are not epic enough, then I don't know what is.

And the snow... "It was mid-fall and yet, the first day of snow arrived! The feeling of surprised happiness after dreading, fearing it for a long time was for no reason at all."

The whole place with the first snow fall was always indescribable! :D

I went here in the Autumn of 2015 and it's one of the few places that I really want to go back to again.

Photos don't do justice, so if you're curious, read the full blog below :)
