6 days to remember.
First time of independent travel.
100% Enjoyment.

In this year of 2015, it was a pleasure to experience independent travel for the first time. In these posts, it consists of my daily activities for the entire 6 days that I have. I’m so happy that I was able to record it every details of my trip.

 DAY 1 AND 2


February 6, 2015

     Okay, this day started with sunshine in the morning. Everything was taken in places. We had our nail maintenance done. We traveled 6 hours from T'boli to Davao City.However, I didn't sleep well, I don't what happened. I THINK I'M JUST SO EXCITED of what will happen tomorrow.

      ¥ 6AM
    A cold breeze embraced me as I woke up. It tangled in my sleep and I think it prepares me for today's activity. I AM SO POSITIVE FOR THIS DAY. I hope everything will be productive and OKAY.

¥15 minutes advanced on arrival
 It was a good timing knowing our plane, Cebu Pacific, was advanced for 15 mins. This is my first time with Cebu Pacific and I was so pleased with their service.
       Two thumbs up for CEBU PACIFIC! :)
Thanks for the ride CEBU PACIFIC! :)

¥   TIME IS GOLD
 Our relatives from Iloilo fetch us at Iloilo Airport. Our trip was so convenient because of our family. It was our luck and at the same time, we are so thankful for the convenience we have. The quote, 'Time is gold', was elaborated by Uncle Jose as we traveled to Tagbak terminal. It was our luck because a bus was waiting already for us in the terminal. We didn't take our lunch, instead we tried the siopao we bought. Thank you Ante Jeanet and Abegail for the company!

¥ A moment with the bus conductor
I had an argument with the bus conductor of the Ceres Lines. However, it was funny thinking that I was the one who made the mistake by not properly looking into the ticket about the fare price. (SORRY KUYA, first time ko makasakay diri).

¥ The standing tricycle driver
As I gazed into the window of the bus, I was fascinated every time I can see a standing tricycle driver. Obviously, I knew that the tricycle was full of passengers, but I can't think of the reason why are they doing it.

¥ 2 lanes drive way
From Tagbak terminal to Boracay, the drive way was only 2 lanes. We had 2-lanes back home, but my question was, 'Are you familiar with the RODE WIDENING?'. By the way, all I can see from Iloilo to Kalibo is a rice field and it changes as we approach Kalibo to Caticlan, wherein there are already tall mountains in the view.

¥ 7pm arrival at ALLIYAH'S BEACH RESORT
After the long travel of about 11hrs, finally, we arrived at Alliyah's beach resort at 7pm. It was a cheap hotel, but I was satisfied especially that Boracay was known for its expensive hotels.

¥ Fine dining with Ante Ging2 backpack foods
We had our dinner in the terrace of our hotel room. I was glad that it has a terrace that can serve as our leisure place. I am glad that Ante Ging2 accommodated us excellently. She really took good care of us while we were staying at Boracay.


¥ Strolling like there's no tomorrow
After dinner, Ante Ging2 accompanied us to roam around Boracay. It was indeed a night out Saturday for the crowd. I observed that almost 80% of the tourists there were foreigners especially, Americans and Koreans. However, the evening of Boracay was enjoyable especially if you're the type of a person who really wanted a great night out. By the way, I was so glad to roam around the place. I was amazed of the place especially that it has been 15 years ago since the last time I went in Boracay.


¥ Bought a gray hat and the Tall Espresso Frapuccino at Starbucks
While strolling around Boracay, I bought something for myself and it was a gray hat. Another thing, Ante Ging2 invited us at Starbucks for free and I ordered a tall espresso frapuccino. Yummy!




¥ Ended up PARTY DANCING at Club Paraw
It was such a long time since I had my last night out. Well, I didn't miss it because I am not a party goer. However, Boracay's night out was totally a blast. It was such a good experience especially seeing how foreigners go wild like that. I danced at Club Paraw. We had drinks, but I didn't enthuse that much because I don't like to get wasted. I danced so much and I met Bravo, a guy from Iloilo. I danced with him together with Ate Mayen. The night was so enthusiastic that I managed to help myself with happiness. That evening, Boracay welcomed me with crowds and lights.

¥ Early morning sleeping time
After our night out, we go back to our hotel at 1am. It was not yet late for Boracay, but we are already tired from the long travel. Goodnight!

'Problems don't stay problems, they turn into something else.'

Written July 14, 2015 . This is the movie wallpaper of Wild. I just finished watching the movie 'Wild'. I chose to watch this movie tonight because of Reese Witherspoon and she's one of my favorite. And also, I didn't have a lot of things to do right now, so I prefer a movie over a book. I thought this was all about hiking because that was the idea I got in the trailer. I was wrong. Somehow, as the story continues, it illustrates how strong a woman can face life alone in the dessert and how she survives such crisis. It also depicts what a woman can do in order to move on and surpass her troubles. As a woman, myself, the movie helps me to become more courageous enough in dealing with my own problems. There was a line that catches my attention, 'Problems don't stay problems, they turn into something else.' It can be our life's motto especially if we are losing hope in our situation. This is Cheryl Strayed. Cheryl Strayed and Reese Wither...

Moving forward takes time.

     I already said my goodbyes repeatedly years ago, but when he came back without a warning, the feelings have suddenly immersed and I am here troubled with doubts of what would be the right thing to do.       Yes, I dearly love him after all these years, but as far as we go through this journey, we can’t keep ourselves steady and stable in securing a commitment. I don’t know if this is just a minor feeling, but I am hurt already in the inside especially on his silent treatment and ignoring behavior.       I love him that I almost have given everything just to keep him in my life. Love can really make us crazy and because of these raging feelings, I can do things without even thinking clearly. Now that he’s far away from me, I am keeping myself secure and somehow ready for anything that will happen sooner.       I should be contented with what I only have in my life. Honestly, this is what I co...

GERD, why do you have to keep on coming back?

GERD, why do you have to keep on coming back? Originally written last June 26, 2013. 'Sometimes we tend to overindulged ourselves with earthly things. Then, frustration comes in when the feeling of inadequacy overshadowed us.'    Last June 23, 2013, I ate a lot that I couldn't manage my stomach anymore. It started with a cup of milo at 4am. I was in the graveyard shift that time. I didn't have enough sleep and I don't have any choice, but to drink cup of coffee after I ate my breakfast. Well, I'm living with my family and I didn't have the hard time in preparing my meals. That morning we enjoyed our merienda because shared a serve of mango float. I'm glad staying in the house every weekend because my siblings were there and together we're complete as a family. I ate four slices of pizza the afternoon of that day and then, it started my hyperacidity.      I was diagnosed with GERD last year. GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Diseas...
