August never ends in 2025 for me; it is one of the best months I’ve had since birth. It’s a time when I fully allowed myself to do the things I really wanted to do without hesitation, not thinking of money as a problem but rather a solution for safety and success.
I’ll move on to the next goal but I am definitely not letting go of that experience. Bukidnon rides was one of the best and first since childhood. May it attract more rides and adventures in the long run. I have more to do in the place and I’m definitely going back to back to back until I’m full of it.
Snaps of my recent Bukidnon Vacation: Oh, not to mention “The literal, Blue Green!”
Yes! It’s so peaceful and clean. I feel at peace and living. Every step counts and every breath’s much appreciated. Trekking at Mt. Kulago for 5 hours in total was very satisfying. It reminded me of taking things slowly but consistently. Rest but do not stop. Pause but keep going. I was luckily guided by a friend who also took all my photos and videos. He not only guide me the way, he also guided me on how to do it myself.
I can show you the top and guide you but I can’t do it for you. Yet I know that you can do it too! Do not underestimate the power of little things, because fire starts with a little electronic spark fueled by water and wood sparks fueled by gas. See the differences and similarities? Fuel your spark with breathing, not of gas nor liquids to prevent disaster. Just breathe, do not stop it, do it!
Mt. Kulago was just the beginning of something even bigger. There are more mountains to climb to break through my limits. Trekking and climbing will always be the best trainings and gifts I can give to myself to live life accordingly. It taught me how to slowdown, to have faith, to believe and trust.
You’re probably in your thirties just like me, so I’d like to say, “Congratulations for reaching this far,” “thank you for not giving up,” “you did great, keep going!” This is just the beginning of your journey ahead. May you take time to move on from your childhood traumas but you don’t need to let go of it all, it’s what makes success worth celebrating. Don’t let it go because you’ll let go of the good stuffs too. Instead, collect those good memories and do the things you dare not do in your teens and twenties to support your interests now.
While it’s never too late to learn how to dance, thus never too late to learn how to provide yourself the best treatment you deserve. Instead of resenting your parents, family and you for not giving you the best life you deserve, why don’t you fill it in since you’re now capable. The challenge here is whether you give yourself that chance or you’ll just die blaming and resenting others.
Yes, it happened. It was nobody’s fault. Everyone’s learning their own lessons. You tagged along, so be thankful and grateful for the things that you received, the support that they have given you, regardless of how it was given and how they made you feel like a burden/responsibility and a debtor. Remember that to the right people, you are a blessing and a gift.
Yes, it’s upsetting. You wanna run away but you’re still young and cannot survive on your own. It’s even more frustrating because you know it’s the truth. But hey, you survived anyway, you did the right thing and I’m so proud of you. Shouldn’t you be thankful and grateful of yourself now and the people who tried their best to support you despite their mental challenges and their limitations?
You don’t have to let go of those experiences, just move on. Doing the things that you really really wanted to do, those things that has been suppressed due to lack of budget and fear of anguish and jealousy, (mostly from family and relatives) fear of being rejected and not accepted or physically and mentally abused if you’ll do this and that. Do it now!
If you still have that desire within you right now, then do it now. So what if they’ll disowned, haven’t they already? So what if they’ll get jealous of you, haven’t they already? So what if they’ll curse you, haven’t they already? They have done it already and you’ve survived from it. What’s in their to loose when you’ve already lost them. Regardless of your decision and situation, they’ll always be the same towards you. So don’t be shocked now, you already know.
What’s the difference and why does it matter? Because “Now” you’re choosing yourself, you do what makes you happy, you do not allow their behaviour/reactions/comments stopped you. It is true that the person who deserves you, treats you well regardless of who you are. Sees your best self, let it come out and supports it. True love is not envious not jealous nor pretentious; it is honest, truth teller, and supporter.
Do not force connections if you don’t want to be abandoned, become an option and betrayed in the end. Eventually, the ties loosens; and when it does, you’ll be left with scars, pain, exhaustion, etc. Learn to say no soon as you see the “Red flags.”
Stand on your own and let the right people come find you. When you’re most calm and free, they’d be beside you in silence. No begging. The people who are meant for you, will fit without force. It will attach without dragging them in. You will magnetize them naturally whenever you’re ready to welcome them closely. You’ll feel them without touching them physically, just energies are enough. No pressure!
Part of doing anything that makes you happy is being honest towards yourself. That includes accepting that “You can” and that “You deserve” to be happy. Being happy will definitely attract them towards you, so “Be Ready.” Sooner or later, you’ll see them looking at you, so don’t shut them down, “Just Smile.” They have the right to adore you, appreciate you, support you, choose to be with you. Allow them!
See you in my Mt. Apo adventure. Another layer of stagnant energies will be extracted and released. I’m more than excited to go through it again and again. Just a quick share: my latest climb at Mt. Kulago unleashes my ability to see the beauty of creativity. I no longer felt it’s weird or overreacting, it’s simply an art, an expression, and a great way to channel ones hyperactivity. Uniqueness is no longer weird, it’s outstanding! Be creative, be open for something new!
Climbing, Rocks!
