In my previous post, I wrote about not doing anything right after my birthday. I wasn’t sure what to do next, so I shared about how I was procrastinating things and was hoping that by writing it down, it will inspire me to take action.
Remembering how thankful and grateful I was to have somebody celebrating my birthday unconditionally. Those friends really made time for me despite having to report back to work at night. I was hesitant, but they’re so sure about celebrating it anyway.
We had a lot of fun, I remember scoring three 💯 at Hard Rock KTV; two of those were our duets, three of us sharing the song, we had our turns! It was magnificent. One a hundred was from me, it was surprising. The thought of TeamWork really pays off. I’m so glad I have met those two last year.
I am looking forward to continuous friendship with them, so I must take care of it. It was an amazing collaboration of Tricycle Fair Paid By EJ, Taxi Fair paid by RC; Food shared by us and of course KTV and drinks paid by RC but I felt a little OMG, so I have given my share.
Thinking about those times, when we’re just having fun window shopping, buying fruits and talking about anything, slows down the time. It takes forever to wait for 1 PM until the KTV opened. If I’m not denying it, it was the best birthday celeb where I’m actually not feeling alone.
I realized Friday night that I must do something special for me as well. So I have decided to go to danasan eco adventure park early Saturday at 5:00AM. I packed up, went to Parkmall, hopped in a Cab going to Liloan then to Danao Jollibee Sands.
I saw Jonies restaurant was open with only a few diners, so I checked in and ordered; I enjoyed their food so much:
Look at that! So clean and the staff sounds so welcoming. I never felt unwanted. I saw a couple seated right after me; I never expected I will see them again the next morning at Danasan Eco Adventure Park. Oh boy, the guy was handsome. How I wish I had a gentleman like that.
I finally got a driver to bring me up to the mountains of Danao. He gave me advises not to return home at night just to be safe. It was indeed the truth! I have foreseen that the place is a little deep and scary far from the city, so I decided to stay overnight; I assured him of that.
I previously asked for a discount because it’s a little bit expensive but because he showed care, I paid him the exact price, good for two. I realized she will be returning home without a passenger; so it was only right to ask more with a sincere, “Take care, kuya! I thank you!”
At first, I rented a tent but I got tired and wanted to take a nap so I changed my choice and opted to get a room for two instead. I also have to keep my stuffs safe. Food wasn’t a problem as well; and I ordered coffee and fries which I initially thought weird partners at first, but the staff says it’s actually okay.
I took a stroll down to the pool and I met a cleaner. She’s taking out dried leaves and I took the chance to talk about things, until she asked about where I came from. She shared about her son also living in our city and how she felt about the condition there during afternoon.
“Oh it’s hot indeed.” She toured me where the camping site was, the pool and the hot kawali bath. Pool waz under maintenance and we couldn’t use it yet.
I saw people camping while on my way to take my first wakeboarding experience, and hoped it wouldn’t rain. So it didn’t but I think it rained that night, I just didn’t noticed it because I was deeply asleep, thanks to the crickets that sings at night.
Wakeboarding was amazing and it made my child within so happy that she doesn’t wanna leave the place but had to stop after learning how to balance; I must not get too tired, I still have to ride an ATV.

Gladly, after 8 years of dreaming I’m finally able to ride an ATV. It was of course so satisfying. The ride was magnificent. I am confident enough that I can ride any vehicle with the right guidance. This lady’s so happy, you can say it with her smile.
Falling twice was exciting! Getting back on track was astonishing. I can only tell, I wasn’t nervous nor did I feel any fear at all; but looking down below from the top while being stocked for awhile unable to release the gear to drop me down, was panicking.
For the record, it is “Skydrop” but I already know what to do next. That’s me at the top, trying to release myself to fall. I realized that time that it’s better to fall than to stay up there hanging, alone for awhile. It’s so scary to look down, so I decided to just breathe, count 123 and just enjoy the ocean view.
Some things were meant to be; and money was never an issue, it was my decision that does. Lucky to have decided to go full force, because I will never know when to be back there again. Enjoying the moment was all I can think of, because tomorrow is never promised.
Climbing, Rocks!
