What I’m holding in the photo is the third book that I read, to date. The first two were for book reviews as academic requirements in college. I also obliged for this one because, for the first time, an author wanted my review about it, to say the least. …In hindsight, it was actually a great opportunity and a humbling experience knowing that I contributed to the book’s success even just to a lesser extent. What’s interesting to note about the whole experience was being reminded of why thinking before speaking and reading before thinking are timeless virtues. Amen to that. Disclaimer: I’m no reader but a Tsundoku (perhaps), Serioholic, or movie lover. Have a nice weekend everyone 😊 #lessonslearned #lessons #betterlatethannever #theresalwayssomethingbeautifuloutofthemundane #thewanderingfeetandmind #thewanderingfeet #privilege #privileged #humbled #timetodeclutter #virtues #readingtime (at Hilton Riyadh Hotel and Residences) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqaHAlkKCCQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Manila Bay may look ordinary as your room’s corner in broad daylight but at dusk—with the mighty sun soaking its last rays into the bay—it’ll turn into a radiant South Sea Pearl. The next thing you know, you don’t want to miss taking a selfie with it 📸 Sing the weekend vibes with me 😊 #theresalwayssomethingbeautifuloutofthemundane #sunset #sunsetlovers #natureandlife #cityfeatures #cityandnature #citysunset #mindfulness #newagewellness #groundingtechniques #mindfulness #mindfulnesspractice #sunsetbythesea # #manilabaysunset (at Sea side MOA) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2UK1KKXjW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Without a doubt, this “thing” in the photos is one of the many reasons why Filipinos keep coming back to Manila. That reddish gold sunset is gee-whiz and the silhouette it creates, definitely breathtaking. Yes, it makes the heart skip a bit! #theresalwayssomethingbeautifuloutofthemundane #sunset #sunsetlovers #natureandlife #cityfeatures #cityandnature #citysunset #mindfulness #newagewellness #groundingtechniques #mindfulness #mindfulnesspractice #sunsetbythesea #manilabay #manilabaysunset #iphoneography (at Sea side MOA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpwpfOPqB9-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Manila Bay may not be the perfect, ideal relaxation spot but it has the power to magnet hundreds to thousands of people every day. Take a stroll on this esplanade and you will know why 🧘‍♂️ #theresalwayssomethingbeautifuloutofthemundane #sunset #sunsetlovers #natureandlife #cityfeatures #cityandnature #citysunset #mindfulness #newagewellness #groundingtechniques #mindfulness #mindfulnesspractice #sunsetbythesea ##manilabay #manilabaysunset (at Sea side MOA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpuxuByKt3w/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The hustle and bustle is part of cycle but it should never be a reason not to stop and take a moment to be grateful for the big things, the small ones, and everything in between. Uttering those words of gratitude is one thing; living by them is another… #nature #natureandsunset #noeditingneeded #lovinsaudi #saudiarabia #ofwlife #beautifulsaudi #saudiimages #unveilsaudi #sunsetlovers #sunsetphotography #wintersunset #riyadh #ksa #shotoniphone #thewanderingfeetandmind #theresalwayssomethingbeautifuloutofthemundane #findingsomethingbeautifuloutofthemundane #sauditourism #destinationksa #destinationriyadh #welcomesaudi (at Al Falah, Ar Riyad, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnYWPCCqLP3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Side Note: "The Seven Wonders of AlUla" The long drive back to Riyadh on the 24th of December became a window on life’s realities and, to some degree, lessons. One of those is realizing that without the attachment of Christmas eve to said date, it’s just another ordinary day. All it takes is a single deviation like this, subjecting myself into this tour this time of the year, from the routine to clearly see that. I’m convivial nonetheless. The favorite part of the tour though was meeting people from different walks of life. It reinforced the belief that we’re never truly alone. There’s literally always someone around, especially in this kind of trip where every activity in the itinerary is being done as a group. I also couldn't help but appreciate that certain camaraderie that exists among travelers in this, I say, deviation. One that's engaging because interactions are only of pure and innocent motives, if not about making new friends. There's no replication to the kind of vulnerability and openness that emanate from those interactions. I love that because it's liberating and mentally medicinal. Once again, I thank Riyadh Kabayan Tours and the rest of the fun joiners for helping me redefine this kind of experience as one of life’s essential requirements every now and then, as an OFW. And that's how I got the smile in the photo 🙂 Because I understand that there's happiness and power in solitude. Have a fun and adventurous weekend everyone! #AlUla #alulaviewpoint #dadanikmah #AlUlaOasis #elephantrock #AlUlaOldTown #hegra #madainalsaleh #saudiheritagesite #alulatourism #theresalwayssomethingbeautifuloutofthemundane #thewanderingfeetandmind #lovinsaudi #DestinationKSA #destinationalula #AJourneyThroughTime #AlUlaMoments #arabnews #riyadhkabayantours (at AlUla, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnBylSZK-FK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In hindsight, Dadan is actually the most Instagrammable among the AlUla attractions on this series.

Ever heard of an open-air library? Yes, I did and read some “books” there at Jabal Ikmah more than a week ago.
