This month I went to Camotes Island, full of excitement. My travel buddy that time wanted to be hidden. She doesn’t want others to know that we travelled together. In fact, we booked separate rooms and there was a little bit of a confusion with the booking. Anyway, we shared food, it was awesome. ItContinue reading “When in Camotes Island with Secret Travel Mate”

Reconnecting & Reevaluating @ Camp Forrest
Finally! I have visited Camp Forrest in Cebu, City! I fell in love in its beauty upon seeing the photos posted by former colleagues. I was not invited and that’s okay, I’m no longer part of their team; although it felt a little uncomfortable and unfair like “I wanted to be invited even if IContinue reading “Reconnecting & Reevaluating @ Camp Forrest”
It’s okay to say “NO”
Once in a year, there’s always going to be someone who will remind me of the wrong choices I made in the past; choices like, I should have said, “No” instead of saying “Yes.” Girls have this amazing instinct about the outcome of a specific friendship or relationship. Before we even started talking, I alreadyContinue reading “It’s okay to say “NO””
Knowing You’re On the right track: I saw the Sign I was Looking For
Last week, we had our 1st TB; we stayed in a big house, overseeing camotes island. Our volunteer cook seated beside me and introduced me to Camotes Island! It was an amazing day for me!

If only I knew what I know today
If given the chance to go back in time where ego is not an option, I will accept defeat and move on. “It’s not for me, so why force it?” I have lived my life proving myself I’m good enough. I thought I wasn’t because I was being rejected, but it wasn’t true. I wasContinue reading “If only I knew what I know today”
PlayTime @ Banyan Spring Resort w/ the team was life-changing
I’m so surprised! My P 90 pesos paid my cottage and water. I mean, how was that possible? I had a team with me. We shared the payment and it was the best in the world. Now, I’m comfortable with going out with a team of trusted people. Now that I have experienced it, IContinue reading “PlayTime @ Banyan Spring Resort w/ the team was life-changing”
Pain doesn’t kill, resistance does!
When I was a CG trainee, we had to go through that pain. Injected in our deltoid, arms, with mineral water; it was the most painful physical experience in my life that I almost fainted. Let me repeat, “Almost fainted” in pain, but I did not die, nor going to. I faced the pain andContinue reading “Pain doesn’t kill, resistance does!”
The mystery of emotions and their purpose
Lately, I noticed that feeling angry made me feel good. It felt good to feel your emotions specially if you’re going to put faces on it; it will make you laugh instead of crying when you’re sad, losing control when you’re angry, running away when you feel guilty, and hiding when in shame. I noticedContinue reading “The mystery of emotions and their purpose”
Life hurts, life heals; you’re fine, just keep moving
I’m just sad, that’s why I’m angry; thanks to this book by Claire Bidwell Smith, LCPC; at least now I understand the source of my angst. This is the truth, I’m sad and it’s okay. I failed to grieve because I was scared of being laughed at if I’d cry; it would make me appearContinue reading “Life hurts, life heals; you’re fine, just keep moving”
It’s okay to be sad; pain is temporary
Lately, I have been reading a book about anxiety; it talks about losses and grieving and I feel like writing about my own losses and the beginning of my great anxiety. Writing it down is believed to alleviate anxieties. My anxieties started that time my mother brought my dying uncle home. I was so scaredContinue reading “It’s okay to be sad; pain is temporary”
