Maxene naka-isang taon sa Bali!

MANILA, Philippines — After a year, nakabalik na sa bansa si Maxene Magalona.

Yup, naka-one year pala siya sa Bali, Indonesia at husband niyang si Rob Mananquil.

Sa post ni Maxene hindi pa rin daw siya makapaniwalang nakabalik na sila ng bansa : “There are moments when I still can’t believe that I’m finally back in Manila after living in Bali for more than a year. I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed The Philippines until the day I flew back and felt the beautiful and comforting energy of being home. I’m so excited to see my friends and loved ones, reunite with my dog Coffee and eat all my favorite vegan Filipino food! Two weeks of quarantine may seem like a long time but I’m actually grateful that I will have the opportunity to just be by myself before I go back out into the world! I’ve decided to use this time for self-reflection, detoxification and integration,” unang part ng post niya.

“Coincidentally, this Sunday March 14, happens to be Nyepi which is Bali’s New Year celebration also known as “The Day of Silence.” This is a very important day of meditation, reflection and fasting with the purpose of returning to one’s self. There will be no lighting fires (lights must be kept low), no working, no entertainment or pleasure, no traveling, and for some, no talking or eating at all. The purpose of all of this is to instill purity and harmony and to contemplate upon one’s intentions for the upcoming new year.

“Beginning on Sunday, I will use my time in quarantine to reflect on everything I’ve experienced in the past year, meditate for longer hours and also do a juice fast so that I can cleanse and detoxify my body. This will be my offering to God as a sign of my infinite gratitude and devotion,” sabi pa ng daughter ng namayapang si Francis M.
