Manila, Philippines
Fun, amazing girlfriends. New friends. Wine. Music. Seafood. A remote tropical island. Rain, sun, then a rainbow.
LOVE.

I am rediscovering Jack Johnson all over again.
I love how his music is infused with coconut trees, sunlight, amber sunsets, saltwater, and a tropical romance.
When I was living in Boracay for a year, I was also living and breathing the island’s rhythms and sounds, which, when it wasn’t the live bongo beats (how I miss that), was Jack Johnson or Bob Marley in the atmosphere. Although of course the music is so appropriate for the island lifestyle, it could also get too cliche, and I didn’t bother listening to any more of them during my solo sound-tripping sessions.
But I’m thoroughly enjoying listening to him now at a different page in my life, feeling like I can pull out a bottled sunset sprinkled with tropical memories at any time. This is the kind of music I can go back to, to take short daydream breaks when life gets too hectic, or listen to while chilling out with my friends who bring their own sunshine :)
I need this.
“When anxious, uneasy, and bad thoughts come, I go to the sea, and the sea drowns them out with its great wide sounds, cleanses me with its noise, and imposes a rhythm upon everything in me that is bewildered and confused.” - Rainer Maria Rilke
The island where I celebrated the New Year with beautiful people and beautiful memories.
Bonfire nights, camping, great food, and succumbing to nature.
2011 will be a great year.
