TRAVELING ESSAYS
For me, when I hear the place Mindoro, it is not just a simple location but my comfort place. Since I was a child, we visit it once a year because it was my grandfather’s home before he married my grandmother. Every time we go there, I get to see my cousins and relatives, and it feels like a special family reunion. My uncle has a banana chips factory and a banana plantation, so I always enjoy eating banana chips whenever we visit.
The people in Mindoro are kind and helpful, and during Holy Week they celebrate the Moriones tradition, where people wear costumes like Roman soldiers. We went to Mindoro in 2019, not knowing that the following years we would not be able to return because of the pandemic that spread across the Philippines. At that time, I thought it might already be our last visit since I was still young and had no contact with my cousins and friends there. It was sad because we were unable to go back for several years. However, in 2024, when everything became okay, we finally had the chance to vacation there again, and I was very excited to see them.
The trip was long and tiring, but when we arrived at our house in Mindoro, all the fatigue was worth it. They did not recognize me at first because I was still small during my last visit, but now we have all grown up. I truly enjoyed my vacation as we went around different places and often spent time by the sea, since it was near our house, bonding together as cousins. Now that it is 2026, we are going back to Mindoro for the upcoming Holy Week. I am excited again because Mindoro is the place I always look forward to visiting every year. It has many beautiful places to explore, and I always feel happy whenever I am there. This coming March, we will see our relatives again and spend time together. Mindoro will always be a special place in my heart.

There was something about these particular live-action movies that really captivated me.✨ I really want more movies like them again.

A quiet passage through light and breath. “Moments” drifts like a long-exposed memory - soft textures, slow moving landscapes, and the feeling of time stretching just enough to let you breathe again. A small sanctuary in motion.
