Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia by Jean P. Sasson

Sultana, a Saudi Arabian princess, tells her story to American writer Jean P. Sasson. Sultana lives an obscenely wealthy and luxurious life filled with private jets, palaces and lavish gardens in the middle of the desert, yet she feels trapped in a gilded cage.

While studying, working, driving a car, traveling on their own, dating, and getting married to the person they love are things women all over the world enjoy and take for granted, control of their bodies, lives, and happiness is still something women and even princesses in Saudi Arabia have to fight hard for their entire lives.

  I watched Coldplay perform here in the Philippines in 2017, and I had the crappiest tickets at the crappiest venue. I think I was standing a kilometer away from the stage. I barely saw anything. At the concert last night, Chris Martin read a poster a girl was holding, and it said, “In 2017, I was at the far back. Now I am this close.” Chris Martin then asked four people sitting on the very, very last row to move to the very front, then proceeded to sing Everglow. I don’t think I ever sobbed so hard during a concert. The first two photos are the ones I took when I attended their 2017 concert in Manila. The next two are from last night. All I know is, whether you’re at the far back or a bit closer to the stage, the magic is the same. Their concerts will always be an adventure of a lifetime.

1. Iloilo 2. Cebu 3. Legazpi (because of how beautiful Mt. Mayon was) 4. Davao 5. Sorsogon 6. Lucena 7. Butuan Ranking is purely based on personal experience. I know I missed out on a lot of things these cities could offer because, you know, I was there for work and only went sightseeing after work hours. Really grateful for a job that sends me to these beautiful places.
