Most of us have been going through hard times with all the stress at work, financial issues, family issues, love life issues, sickness and lots of other stuff and we all wanted to escape from everything and free our minds. We can free our minds yes for a little while, but we should never escape from our problems. We need to face and solve all of it. If we can't solve them in one go, then let's do it one step at a time.

If we're so tired to face them all, then let's rest. Find peace for a moment and face them again.

So one of the things I love doing to free my mind is to travel and see the nature.

My friend was on vacation in Bantayan Island so I decided to go there as well since it is one of the best places to go to if you like sunset and sunrise. There's nothing better in life than having to rest at the beach and watch for the sunset.

The travel time though isn't good if you only have few days which what happened to me. If you're on vacation for a week or more, then this would be the best place for you. The island has a lot to offer. You can go road tripping via bicycle or motorbike, island hopping, beach hopping, check sun sets on different places every day and so as the sunrise, sky diving and a lot of different other things.

To tell you honestly, aside from stressful work I also had colds and believe it or not I was no longer sick when I got home. A lot of doctors would really suggest patients to go to provinces and stay away from pollution, get a lot of fresh air and this is indeed a best way to help yourself.

This is one thing that I can suggest to others too. Even just for a weekend trip. I only had two nights and two days for this one.

Here's another picture of sunset from Yooneek.

It's great to watch the stars at night too. I just don't have a good camera to shoot stars so I don't have any.

And here are few photos of the sunrise.

If you're a kind of person who's not afraid of caterpillars, then you can visit the butterfly farm.

Boo! Haha. And of course, it feels so good to rest after a long day of letting yourself roam around.

I wasn't thinking about work and any other issues during the travel and this helped me to enjoy throughout the journey.

You should try to cause it feels so great to let yourself free from everything.

What we are going through now will slowly fade just like sunset and we will then rise up again and start a new beginning. Don't let problem eat you up. Conquer it and God will always be there to guide us.
