Getting Inspired From Feeling Anxious Through Instinctive Faith
It has been awhile since I decided walking alone again, and the feeling is quite different than walking with a group of acquaintances who shared the same interest. The last time I walked uphill solo was a week after Mt. Apo. I visited TOPs on foot and I finished it almost around 3 hours. It…
See the difference: Do IT Now because You Already Can
Walking with friends, acquaintances and family last month was a awesome! Who would have thought I will be meeting those people on trail, and who would have thought I will be travelling with my brother which I used to piggyback when we’re young. He’s now taller than me and doesn’t need carrying. It’s been a…
Reconnecting; New Trails, New Connections, New Experiences
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…
Acknowledge, Believe & Appreciate like a Good Mother would
I noticed that today is March 29, 2026; my mother did not knock on my door, she called from the closed door asking if my brother and I will be travelling… I realized that it would be better to open the door and talk to her face to face, so I did. The most unusual…
Courage, Grit & Faith helped me get through the whole process
Year 2024 was the best year for me, lots of new solo-traveling experiences that started in 2020, thanks to the pandemic. Solo flight from Davao to Cebu was not super exciting but my solo flight from Cebu to Davao last January 2026 was spectacular! Mactan Cebu International Airport offers the best experience for all travellers,…
Hiking rule to remember: Pause to rest but no stopping, must keep going “Bahala na*
“When self-doubt comes in, just keep moving forward.” Part of my preparations to climb the highest mountain in the Philippines (Mt. Apo) is to practice walking solo with a bit of a trail run. I did it in the mountains of Cebu such as the “Starbaks,” “RCPI,” “Barcramps,” “6 Towers,” and the “Kang Irag Trail.”…
Strangers Turned Into Instant Family for 2 days and a Night
In almost 4 Years of consistently challenging myself to travel solo if no one makes time for me, I’ve had so many opportunities meeting new people, and they’re not just people, they are good people. Recently, I took a flight to Davao to climb Mt. Apo and I met groups of strangers in a group…
Preparedness and Consistency
Preparedness and Consistency: These are the two key players for a successful goal! If you ever start pursuing your dreams, don’t you ever think of giving up now, because once you do, “It’s the end of it all.” Once you think, the body follows, so always think forward, always keep going, no matter how many…
Believe not in their words but in their actions
Success is on the other side of fear, face your fear and work on it. If you really really want to have a baby and you’re a woman, you will have to go through pain and maybe shame because someone’s going to assist you in labor. Then who doesn’t fear pain? How about shame? In…
Climbing the 1st Highest Mountain In The Philippines The 1st Time Was A Success, Here’s How I did it to Mt. Apo Summits
Preparation is the key but above all, you must have a goal, a great reason to achieve something major; because Mt. Apo is not easy to summit, hardship is 9/9, so do not underestimate for your own safety. It’s better to be over-prepared than disappoint yourself in the end. Impress yourself, to gain her trust.…
