the blue ; jj maybank
pairing : female reader x jj maybank summary : stuck on island was bound to drive you insane but having him close to you wasn't so bad. warnings : none? words : 1.5k a/n: back in my writing era ig? this is so shot I want to cry
you have been stuck on this island for two weeks. you scratch another line onto the rock and sigh to myself. two weeks ago you were chasing teasure and now here you were stranded on a deserted island. it's funny how life can change so suddenly.
"yess wooo" screams kiara as jj secures the flag on the top on the palm tree. you smile up at him as he screams out a cry in celebration. this island was now christened poguelandia.
once he got down to the ground you made your way over to him. kie had taken charge during your time on the island and today she had decided that you and jj would go find food and supplies e.g coconuts and berries.
truthfully you would've much rathered stayed with sarah and weave palm trees.
"c'mon y/n" jj says gesturing to follow him as he takes a machete and swings it over his back.
you sigh and follow him but its hard to keep up as your feet sink into the sand as you walk. you hated the sand.
"bye kie". jj waves to her before walking off. you can't help but notice kie's smirk at jj's words.
you chase after jj. "so you and kie then?". jj laughs and when noticing your expression realized you were being serious.
"what no?!, me and kie? Are you being serious?".
you raise your hands in defeat. he didn't know that he would get this defensive. maybe there was nothing going on there. well what did you care.
holding out a hand for you to take jj pulled you over a rock sticking out in the ground. his hand in yours made you feel warm. it was a nice feeling but one you chose to ignore. you pulled your hand away fast.
the trek through the jungle was silent. you didn't mind the silence that much. it was a comfortable silence.
"wait up can we stop for a sec". you begin to slow down slightly out of breath. a near tree was your support as you tried to regain your steady breathing.
out of the corner of your eye you saw jj approach you. he didn't say a word but his eyes said more. you looked up at him to find that he was already looking back at you.
"what are you looking at?" you ask slightly annoyed.
"you" he admits.
you look up at him with a raised eyebrow.
"you look good today".
you chuckle to yourself.
"yeah my greasy hair and sweat covered clothes would to be blame".
jj puts his hands in his pockets and mives his attention to his shoes. "you still look good".
you pause. "thanks.....".
jj nods and smiles.
the waves crashing against the rocks and birds chirping in the distance were the sounds that met your ears.
jj spoke again. "do you ever think about going home?" he asks softly.
you have been a kook all your until you met kiara who introduced you to the pogues. you haven't looked back ever since.
you and jj are alike in many ways. one in having abusive parents. ever since you were little your father had taken advantage of you and your mother. it wasn't until you grew up that you realized how bad it was.
you thought about your mother constantly but you had no desire to go back to the obx.
"not a chance".
jj clears his through and looks at you solemnly. "what about your mum would you go back for her".
you swallow so you don't start bawling in front of him. "you know i would".
"she loves you so much y/n i hope you know that".
you try to smile back at the golden boy but a stray tear falls down your cheek. he always knew the right words to say.
jj kneels down to your height where you are sitting on a large rock.
"hey hey" he whispers taking your hand trying to calm you down. it took seconds for you to break down.
he soothinly rubbed his thumb across your palm. his touch grounded you. the tears were still falling but you felt at peace.
jj wipes a tear from your cheek. you smile at him when he does so. his finger lingers for a moment longer than it should and falters further down your face.
your heart begins to race. you pull his hand away. "thank you" you mutter.
his expression has changed. one of confusion.
"anytime".
:::
"y/n truth or dare?" cleo asks as the woven hat is placed on your heart.
you hesitate for a moment. "dare....?"
"oh girl that was a mistake" cleo says with a michevious grin which makes you regret your decision.
jj sits across from you in the circle. this isn't the first time he has looked over at you. all day you had been swimming around his mind. he couldn't stop thinking about you. he didn't want to. he just couldn't figure out why.
cleo whispers to sarah and then to kiara who are contemplating your dare. pope and john b are completely clueless but when you look over to jj he looks.....nervous?
"i dare you to make out with jj".
you gasp. at first you thought they were messing with you but jj's face told you that he was waiting a response.
okay maybe kissing jj wouldn't be so bad. but you didn't want to do it here not like this.
"um.....sorry jayj but i ain't making out with you....." you trail off your cheeks turning red. hopefully he didn't take that in the wrong way.
pope and john b enunciate how jj was feeling inside. "ooof y/n that was harsh".
even the girls seemed confused. you shrugged awkwardly not willing to give them an explanation.
instead you decided to leave the group anf head down to the sea. nobody stopped you.
the wind brushed your hair away from your face and you couldn't help but smile to yourself at the image of the moon reflecting onto the sea.
a perfect mirroring image.
::
"you bitch all you care about is yourself!" your father screams just as his hand collided with your mothers face.
you shuddered at the sound from your position at the top of the stairs. all you wanted to do was rip your mother out of the grasp of your father but something rooted you to the spot.
another slap came followed by a cry. the next thing you heard was silence. then footsteps....nearing the stairs. you jumped up in realization. there your father stood with his eyes sparkling with a grin on his face.
the next thing you knew he hand you held against the wall his hand raised. you closed your eyes and braced for impact.
you woke up, your chest heaving. you were sobbing uncontrollably. all the memories came flooding back that you had put in the past.
"y/n?" . you wiped a stray tear from your eye before sitting up. jj had heard the crying almost immediately. he is a light sleeper. when he noticed it was you he wanted nothing more than to wake your from the torments in your head. instead he held your hand and waited.
you look down to find his hand in yours. you can't help but feel warm inside.
"are you okay?" he asks.
"okay that was a stupid question" jj admits when he notices no change in your demeanour.
part of you wanted to laugh but you were still out of it. you could still feel his breath fanning across your face, the sound of the slap and the beat of your heart in your chest.
in not getting a response jj takes that as a nudge that he should depart. he slips his hand from yours and starts to get up but you pull him back.
"stay" you whisper.
that one word said so much. jj hesitates.
"please".
how could he say no to that?
you pat the ground next to you instructing him to lie down next to you. he does just that.
you lie there in silence for a moment.
you move closer to his chest and he doesn't object especially when you lay your head to rest beneath his chin. his heart was beating fast and it prided you to know that you did that.
"thank you".
"for what?" he asks.
"for being you".

I've been telling my boyfriend that he has to see Siargao first before we start traveling out of the country, and that Surigao del Norte is my favorite province (tbh I think my new fave province is now Siquijor lol). Looking back, I remember Siargao as the place of my "young and wild" Jasfher era — bar hopping every day, running on the streets in the wee hours of the night super drunk laughing with my barkada who were equally drunk, multiple island hopping, swimming with the stingless jellyfishes, and channeling my inner Sid Lucero (fyi I learned how to surf here in Siargao). It was such an adventurous time.
How time flew by so fast I just know my aching back won't be able to seep up anymore. But you know, aging cannot (and probably will never) stop the thirst for new places of adventures. This time around, I decided to go to Siargao again with Dave, and how delighted we were that his mom also decided to join. Time for some son-in-law and mother-in-law bonding!
I think it’s important to set expectations before coming to Siargao. It's not another Palawan, or Bohol, or Boracay or any other place in the world. Siargao’s vibe is unique, and its appeal doesn’t only lie in its natural beauty. While Siargao is beautiful, and features wonderful attractions such as the Maasin River and the Magpupungko Pools, there are so many other things to do here like the tri-island half-day island hopping tour (Daku, Guyam and Naked Islands) as these islands are easily accessible from General Luna.
Naked Island is a 200-meter-long strip of powdery white sand located off the southern shore of Siargao Island in Surigao Del Norte. The white sand island is completely bare, hence its name. Since there are no trees on the Island to provide shade, the Island is better suited for a quick visit during a Siargao island-hopping tour. Its bare beach also makes for a great spot to soak up some sun if you want to sunbathe. Meanwhile, the surrounding clear waters are perfect for swimming when you want to escape the sun's heat.
Guyam Island, on the other hand, is quite small. The island is uninhabited similar to the nearby Naked Island and currently does not have any accommodations or cottages. Visitors can only take shade under the palm trees dotting the area. This island is also small enough that visitors can travel around the island on foot within fifteen minutes. Hidden between the palm trees are stalls selling delicious burgers and fresh fruit juices. There are also a few swings and hammocks, perfect if you want to relax for a few minutes.
Daku Island boasts a wide and quiet shoreline, picture-perfect coconut and palm trees on white sand, and just a few villagers. On calm days, snorkeling is a must-do, more so with the clear electric-blue water. On bigger days, the Daku Reef creates a fun wave that is still more forgiving for surfers, as it’s not shallow like most breaks on Siargao.
Among the three islands, Daku is the largest by far, which is why it is particularly ideal for a lunch stop. There are cheap meals at beachside shacks and further inland, but the best way to enjoy lunch here is to bring fresh seafood from General Luna, rent a bungalow hut on the shore, and hire the local beachside cooks for a barbecue feast. Just look at how our dining table is filled with sumptuous seafoods and tropical fruits!

THE PALM TREE PHENOMENON!
THE PALM TREE PHENOMENON
Psalm 92:12-14
Palm trees exhibit an enormous diversity in physical characteristics and inhabit nearly every type of habitat. They are hardly affected by any weather conditions, making them one of the few trees that flourish and bloom in any place and season. A palm tree normally lives from seven to ten decades, producing a mind-blowing diversity of fruits (such as coconuts, dates, and palm wine) and has many uses.
Palm branches were used in John 12:12-15 to line the streets in celebration of Jesus’ arrival into Jerusalem, symbolizing His victory over sin and death. This event, known as Palm Sunday, fulfils the prophecies of the Old Testament and ushers in a new era of salvation for humanity. The palm tree is therefore a symbol of victory and triumph.
The first mention of the palm tree is found in Exodus 15:27, in Elim, which is now called Wady-Ghurandel, the most extensive watercourse in the western desert. This oasis is adorned with a great variety of trees, among which is the palm tree. Weary travellers must have been delighted to encamp under its shade and enjoy its abundant supply of sweet water.
The palm is referred to as “the tree of the desert,” as it flourishes in the desert, and its presence is a sign of water. It’s amazing that the Bible likens us to a palm tree! The believer is meant to grow vigorously, with longevity, fragrance, and beauty. Like these palm trees, we are set for the life, character, and destiny of the flourishing righteous.
The faithful flourish like the palm tree, the long-lived and stately palm. The believer flourishes in the courts of God, abiding in God’s presence according to Psalm 23:6, as opposed to the temporary “flourishing” of the evildoers who are doomed to destruction.
Everything in life needs an additive to improve or preserve it. Just as plants need fertilizers to grow and flourish, so do believers need God to grow and flourish. Those planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of God.
As these trees flourish in their respective soils and climates, so shall the righteous in the ordinances of God. But only those who trust in and dwell in the Lord, according to Jeremiah 17:7-8, are planted by water, are called blessed, and filled with God-defined benefits. It is those whose trust is in the Lord. Palm trees in the Bible also represent beauty, prosperity, and fertility and a sign of prosperity and fertility, as well as been seen as a sign of God’s covenant with his people.
Only trust in God motivates confident obedience in times of crisis. When you see palm trees in heavy wind and storm, you’ll understand the strength and tenacity of the trees. Every other tree may be uprooted by the wind or broken, but not the palm tree. Though the wind may force it to bend almost to the breaking point, it rises back and flourishes with no visible sign of the trauma it’s been through because God made them to bend but not break, Just as He made us.
Life may bend us, the enemy may bend us, challenges and circumstances may bend us, but none can break us. If everything in life is pushing you to a breaking point, remember you’re built to last, overcome, triumph, conquer, and not break. If life pushes you to your knees, and Christ remains the centre of your life, be confident that you can withstand those pushes because your resilience is of God and not of man, like the palm tree.
As believers, we continue to grow in grace, and be fruitful to the end of life, continuously flourishing, and bearing fruit in old age because we can learn spiritual lessons from the palm tree phenomenon, to stand in faith, deeply rooted in the truth of God’s word while His presence nourishes us to bearing good fruit.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, help me to learn and lean on your word to give my root dept that would keep me grounded even through the storms of life in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Shalom,
WOMEN OF LIGHT INT PRAYER MIN.

Using The Tools We Have To Get By
Being from a big city, I was not as fortunate as many people to be able to experience the natural world firsthand. Having grown up during the technological era, most of the knowledge I possess comes from watching an absurd amount of TikTok, YouTube shorts, and Instagram reels…
During COVID, I had an abundance of spare time on my hands, and I spent more time than I would like to admit on YouTube. Now, most of this time was spent watching brain-rotting twitch drama but I did also spend a good amount of time watching nature documentaries. As I said, more screen time than I would like to admit… Anyways, during this time I found a documentary titled, The Insane Biology of: The Octopus. Apart from some amazing biological feats, what was most fascinating about this piece, is just how intelligent octopuses can be. Although defining intelligence can be difficult (as I have painfully learned in my psychology class :p), the octopus displays various levels of intelligence; in planning, in memory, in playful activity, and in ecological intelligence (Sammann, 2020).
Most interestingly, octopuses have shown incredible feats of memory, both short-term and long-term; being able to recognize objects, areas, and even in some cases human being friends (). This in conjunction with the fact they are one of the few animals known to utilize composite tool use, they are seen to have superior survivability in the wild (Sammann, 2020). Transporting coconut shells and using them as shelter when they are tired; they display their incredible ability to plan and survive in nature (Sammann, 2020). Being completely separate from primates in the evolutionary tree, it begs the question… How have these wonderful creatures developed such an intense intelligent ability? Their secret?... They’ve had to. Octopuses are expected to be over 330 million years old, and over that time have faced significant challenges in the natural world (SMV, 2022). Originally, the ancestors of these squishy molluscs had shells, but around 160 million years ago they would come to lose their them (St. Fleur, 2017). With predation kicking up, being nimble and witty would serve more favourable in the eye of our mother nature (St. Fleur, 2017). As these conditions would require them to rely more on planning, strategy, and tool use to survive, they would learn to break out of their shell and live free. As to not ramble I’ll leave it here. However, if your curiosity consumes you, check out the end of this post for a link to the video.
Anyways, as I have experienced firsthand, sometimes it can be difficult to indulge in nature. However, that is no reason to neglect it. There are a ton of resources online and some interesting forms of content that pertain to wildlife, geology, and anything that really pertains to nature. If you are feeling a little lost in nature, I left a list of some good places where I got started that helped me get more into learning about nature. These resources are sure to help fuel and nurture anyone trying to salvage their passion.

12•16•24
Another year, another gingerbread house contest! Maddie hosted this year, since she recently moved into her new townhouse and none of us had seen it yet! This was the first year that I went into it with an idea and brought a pre-prepared little prop haha. It felt fitting to say goodbye to the Eras Tour with a little folklore cabin in the woods, complete with Taylor singing on the roof! I'm so happy with how it turned out, I think it is so cute! It was tough nibbling the graham crackers down to make the front of the cabin, and I was getting so sick of the taste haha. I dyed coconut flakes green to make the moss, along with dark green sprinkles for additional color and texture. I attached my little Taylor to a toothpick and pushed her through the cracker to make her the star on top, and decorated the front yard with snow and ice. I also added a little licorice bow to the roof to make it feel more like Christmas. Truly proud of myself for executing this idea as well as I was able to!
Beach made a traditional Christmas gingerbread house, Maddie did a Christmas tree farm barn, and Kena made a Sabrina Carpenter fruitcake tour truck! I think everyone was successful this year! Maddie was the social media winner by votes, I came in second, and Beach came in third. I think maybe people just didn't understand what Kena's was? Because it deserved more love than it got!
Always a favorite, and always the messiest, night of the year!

Exercício III - Tarde na praia
"Ao chegar à margem da praia e encontrar com o oceano, senti meus pequenos pés descalços afundar lenta e suavemente na areia, a agua fria refrescava os pés após caminhar alguns metros de areia quente, o mar ali naquele ponto era sereno, as ondas suaves assim como são em uma bacia de água no quintal num domingo quente.
Hoje o dia tinha sido bem quente, mas sol que tanto nos castigara no caminho até aqui agora nos presenteava com um lindo espetáculo, bem pertinho do fim do dia, a agua e tudo que o sol tocava ganhava tons dourados, os cachos em cabelo ficavam ainda mais dourados.
Encontrei o velho barco ainda amarrado ao coqueiro, a corda não era muito longa e permitia que eu ficasse dentro do barco sem o perigo de ficar à deriva, assim como um cordão umbilical, me mantinha em segurança ligado à aquela praia que qual útero me acolhia novamente. Entrei no barco, que embora velho, ainda flutuava bem, pude deitar e me ajeitar dentro dele, o cheiro de sal misturado à água do mar, e o cheiro de peixe fresco memorizado nas velhas madeiras do barco me levaram ainda mais longe em meus pensamentos e memórias. Lembrei-me dos anos de juventude, quando meu avô me ensinou a pescar ali mesmo. Chorei, num misto de tristeza e alegria, era uma boa lembrança que o mar me devolvia.
Fui trazido de volta a realidade pelo cheiro do protetor solar, agora era preciso lambuzar o corpo inteiro com aquilo, para não desenvolver uma doença. Eu odiava aquilo, tudo ficava muito liso, escorregadio, parece que sequer tato eu tinha, o calor fazia o protetor derreter e cair em meus olhos, que ardiam. Sem contar o insuportável cheiro artificial de laranja, quem diabos achou que seria uma boa ideia ficar cheirando laranja o dia todo?
Fiquei perdido nessas questões e lembranças e acho que adormeci. Acordei mais tarde, o sol já tinha ido embora, ouvi meus filhos gritando meu nome, e vi em seus olhos o alívio deles ao me avistarem dentro do velho barco. Eles me ajudaram a sair do barco, como se eu fosse uma criança pequena, mas eu deixei. Gostava de sentir o amor e cuidado deles por mim. Fomos rápido para encosta das pedras, onde um delicioso peixe assado nos esperava."
______________________________________________________________
Upon reaching the shore of the beach and meeting the ocean, I felt my small bare feet slowly and gently sink into the sand. The cold water refreshed my feet after walking a few meters on the hot sand. The sea at that point was serene, the waves gentle, much like a basin of water in the backyard on a warm Sunday. Today had been quite hot, but the sun that had punished us on the way here now rewarded us with a beautiful spectacle, very close to the end of the day. The water and everything the sun touched gained golden hues, and curls in hair became even more golden.
I found the old boat still tied to the coconut tree; the rope wasn't very long and allowed me to stay inside the boat without the danger of drifting away. Like an umbilical cord, it kept me safely connected to the beach that embraced me like a womb.
I entered the boat, which, though old, still floated well. I could lie down and settle inside it. The smell of salt mixed with seawater and the scent of fresh fish ingrained in the old wooden planks took me even further into my thoughts and memories. I remembered the youthful years when my grandfather taught me to fish right there. I cried, a mixture of sadness and joy, a good memory that the sea was returning to me.
I was brought back to reality by the smell of sunscreen; now it was necessary to slather my whole body with it to avoid developing a disease. I hated it; everything became too slippery, too elusive, as if I had no sense of touch. The heat made the sunscreen melt and drip into my eyes, causing them to burn. Not to mention the unbearable artificial orange scent—who on earth thought it would be a good idea to smell like oranges all day?
I got lost in these thoughts and memories, and I think I fell asleep. I woke up later; the sun was already gone. I heard my children shouting my name, and I saw the relief in their eyes when they spotted me inside the old boat. They helped me out of the boat as if I were a small child, but I allowed it. I liked feeling their love and care for me. We quickly headed to the rocky shore, where a delicious grilled fish awaited us.

my malibu vanilla girl era
this era was when my personal style began to develop. I really knew myself and it showed. I became a more authentic, laid back version of what I had previously wanted to be. This is when i began to notice just how comfortable and sure of myself I had become.
key themes:
palm trees
range rovers
skims
raw, unfiltered confidence
coconut milk
songs from the era:

May 21, 2023
So you’ve gotten a lot more independent and we’re doing so many fun things now that the weather is nice, so I’ve been neglecting updates. Since my last post in March:
- you like to play and lay and dig in sawdust that dada dumps over the fence
- we started giving you melatonin at bedtime and it has been a game changer. Instead of taking 90 min to fall asleep, it takes 20-30, which is a totally normal amount of time. I think that your body just has a hard time winding down and then you get overtired and its just a disaster. But melatonin is the little nudge you need to relax.
- you dug in the ashes of the fire pit and burned 6/8 of your finger tips
-you completed your second wave of survival swim and can now begrudgingly survive and swim to the edge of the pool if you somehow fall in unsupervised - highly unlikely, but better to be prepared.
- we’ve learned you like to wear noise canceling headphones for chronic loud noises (lawn mowers, power washer, etc), so that’s really cool to be aware of when you are so little. (I ordered them for a monster truck show that we ended up not going to)
- you got your second haircut
- Easter! You did so great at the egg hunt and loved your stuffed honey bee the Easter bunny left. Along with egg shaped chalk and garden tools and way too many other things because the Easter bunny spoils you even more than we do. We dyed eggs. You were a cute outfit with a bow tie.
- you’ve learned how to identify specific bugs and birds. Roly poly, ladybug, worms, snakes, beetles, slugs, snails, robin, cardinal, owl, woodpecker, goldfinch. I’m amazed by you and your vocabulary.
- riding with you in the car is actually a delight most of the time. You look out the window and make all kinds of observations. Pink house! Water tower! Excavator! BIG truck! Cement Mixer! Horses! Cows! Trees! Jeep! Van!
- You still really love to see the mail truck or delivery drivers, they are local celeb status in your world.
- we went to a tulip picking farm! You weren’t super impressed by the tulips after the first 10 minutes, but you really liked the bouncy houses and the little houses and playgrounds. We’ll definitely go back and plan better in regard to your nap.
- you ran a race at the Stafford hospital with Ryan on a weekend you spent with Granny! You ran for a part of the way at least, but you were only 1 and new to races so you did really well all things considered.
- We got a new car - a Hyundai palisade. We all love it very much.
- You love to eat coconut milk ice cream sandwiches and have started asking for them for breakfast.
- You love to go on the trails and to the parks. Our neighborhood park and the court land park. It’s tough for you to understand that we cannot go to Courtland elementary during the weekday.
- Your vocabulary has really exploded in every way, and I feel so grateful. You are so chatty and communicative about what you want and what you need. We can say “show me” and you’ll take us to what you need if you don’t know the words for it yet. You’ve said things like “a cardinal on bird feeder”
- we’ve had play dates with so many friends: Lily and Chase; Archer; Jace and Cami; Rey and Remi; Stella and Laney;
- You learned how to rock your body back and forth to get a car you’re riding in to roll down a hill
- we got you some of those bank box blocks and you love to make a big house and watch Tumble Leaf inside
- We had a whole tumble leaf themed birthday party that only one other family truly appreciated because Tumble leaf is wildly under appreciated
- we got a new trampoline with netting so that you and your friends will be safe
- we learned you share a birthday with Sir David Attenborough, which is honestly so perfect for your current demeanor and interests
- you and dada had a 3-day party together while mama went to Philadelphia to see Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour
- you’ve been to 2 more birthday parties (Remi/Rey and Jack)
- you pushed a shopping cart around Publix and it was the cutest thing ever
- You’ve helped me workout in the gym twice and it actually wasn’t as difficult for me as I expected
- you went camping and slept in a tent for the first time!
I will probably do posts about more of these things in detail, but wanted to document just in case time gets away from me again and I just do a big photo dump.
