Mount Makeling is a volcano in the province of Laguna on the island of Luzon in the Republic of The Philippines. Legend has it, the faerie princess, Anna Makeling, went to sleep where the volcano stands.

From afar, the mountaintop resembles a sleeping woman. Legend has it that she is benevolent and will share everything in her home under one condition, no one's allowed to bring any of it off of the mountain.


The faerie, Anna Makeling
exhausted, went to sleep...
a frozen moment


he sets down
the beautiful
stone, knowing
that maria's
a light sleeper
