It’s almost mid April and I’m still enjoying the beautiful thoughts March had given me. “Pursuit of Jade” still lingers in my heart and mind, and I’m rewatching the episodes these days.
The activities I’ve had last March were unforgettable. Trekking all weekends, bringing my Brother to places he haven’t been, to finally visiting my mother’s garden in Busay after 10 long years of procrastinating.
That’s a lot of memories for me. Too many new experiences with the right people. Meeting new acquaintances and initiating conversations with strangers along the trail was somewhat new to me, as an introvert.
Since when did I finally got the courage to mingle and get to know others? I guess friends really helped me came out from my comfort zones. Blessed to have met people who can point out my painpoints so I can work on it by choice.
I guess I have developed more courage as I kept on doing what really matters to me the most. Oh? Or is it because I’m moving towards my feminine side of my life? Wearing high heels at work may have helped me feel conscious and tall, adding more courage and confidence to go after my wants.
Practicing vulnerability is quite interesting and challenging at the same time because you’ll have to deal with your insecurities everytime you’re triggered and it’s hard but because I chose this path, I’m going to live up to it. Bring it on!
I may walk away with no one which would feel sad but it’s better to be left early on, than be rejected in the end after investing so much time with them. Everything around us cost something, so spend your attention wisely. Not everybody deserves your presence, not to mention your energy.
Luckily, March 2026 made me go out twice with same people in different places which was quite unusual and surprising. Following new trails and new directions, were incredibly surprising and life changing.
From being a solo hiker to being with a group of small teams sharing the same goals was a really new experience for me. It’s more enjoyable and It’s more lively with them. It may not happen again but it will remain one of the best experiences I’ve had last March.
From a Solo traveler to travelling with sibling was something new to me as well. The moments I’m running away from finally found its way to me, and that’s because I paused and decided to do it instead of just hoping others would initiate it.
I am but a curious traveller wanting to be free but scared to be me, until boredom have had enough of me and the right people find its way to entertain me and go along with the fun. Going downhill with the new acquaintance “Novem” and Friend at work was so much fun! I’d like to it again.
It was almost noon, someone has to be back before 1pm, we did it on time, no rush, we’re having fun. Under the heat of the sun we saw the flowers blooming despite being newly planted, clean rivers and two mango trees blessed with bountiful mango fruits. They waited while I made myself comfortable. We all are together when someone craves for “Sisig.”
We didn’t go with the crowd, we slip through it. Dodging gives us opening to met other Dodgers. We were invited to go through the shortcut by a solo hiker and we became good acquaintances. We all went home together. The solo travellers of three meeting up together was magnificent!
Climbing, Rocks!
