Today is my stump's 3rd monthsary. My nephew nicknamed it Cobra, because it looks like a snake ready to strike when I lift it up. I found this picture while browsing through my photo albums. Surprisingly, I have tons of shots of my right leg. I didn't realize that I have a habit of taking photos of my feet whenever I arrive in a new place. I figured enough time has passed that making fun of what happened to me is no longer disrespectful to those who have suffered the same misfortune
This was taken in Palawan the summer of '09, also the year I started my 3/3 rule - 3 Philippine provinces and 3 countries visited every year.
This was my longest vacation (1 week) and also my first time in Boracay. My ex-roommate Buena just resigned from her Malaysian gig and I am on the brink of resigning because of burnout, so we decided to do some island soul-searching. It was adventure-packed and our stay also got extended because all flights were cancelled on the day we were to go home and we can't get a flight until 2 days after. The summer of 2010 also started my love affair with Boracay and I returned thrice in the same year after this trip.
This was taken during my 1st camping trip, at a ripe old age of 30. I always managed to avoid camping even when I was in elementary because I was deathly afraid of having no clean bathrooms when nature calls. I was just a sabit to a friend's getaway with her high school barkada but I didn't feel out of place as her friends also brought their own sabits. We thought that Anawangin will be deserted because it is Good Friday, but alas, everybody else has the same idea. I can't say that this trip changed my mind about camping but it was sure a lot of fun, clean bathroom or without.
Sadly, that was the end of my right foot travel series. Sure, I can always take pictures of my left leg but it wasn't as sexy as Cobra's departed half. Here's hoping my prosthetic foot (coming really soon!) is photogenic.
