:(

I thanked God for you because it took so long before He gave me you. Little did I know how short our forever could be.  I spoke proudly of your strength, both physical and emotional, and after years of standing on my own, I finally allowed myself to rely on someone else. You were my safe place, my proof that independence did not mean being alone. We were only given three years and 9 months together, 1397 days to be exact. Just ten percent of your life overlapped with mine, yet it felt complete. Our time was right. We were a match. We laughed every day, and even our disagreements reflected the depth of our love. What we had was real, imperfect, and full—and that is what makes the loss unbearable. There were faults in you as a partner, but as a father, you were everything. Now our child will grow up without you, carrying a love he will never fully remember, and a loss he will always feel. In this, my heart returns to the same question again and again—not out of anger, but out of...

Disappointments and Realizations on Rayquaza Raids

I wasn't really supposed to blog but I was just really disappointed. I am a returning player (just came back June 20) and I am really enjoying the game since there are so many things happening to Pokèmon Go now. (To those who are thinking of going back, please download it now!) There are tasks, I can now trade mons and there are so many spawns compared to before where all we can get is Pidgey. These are the improvents that I was looking for when I left years ago. However, there's this one part of the game that makes me so upset everytime. T5 Raids!!! Just like today. It is the last time for me to try and catch another Rayquaza but since there is no player nearby, I am left to accept that I won't be able to. 🙁 Since I came back, I was only able to win Legendary Raid thrice. First one is in BGC during lunch, next is in Singapore with a friend (so much more fun playing the game there btw) and last is one afternoon where I happen to come across an egg ha...

Lakawon - #InstaWorthy Island Escape

I heard about Lakawon from my beach lover friend (Shiena, whose photos will be shown later in this post) and when I saw it, I just know I have to go there soon.  Whenever we talk about destinations, we usually park it until the right time comes along, which is usually the next seat sale. LOL. So when the air fare prices dropped, we immediately booked our flight.  Photo from Lakawon's Official Site Most blogs I read was for Day trip but we opted to stay the night and I'm glad we did. The bridge at night Going there Lakawon Island is in Negros Occidental so we had to take a plane. On this trip, 4 of us opted for Cebu Pacific and 1 boarded Philippine Airlines. I think these are the only airlines that can bring you from Manila to Bacolod.  We rented an Adventure Van from Bacolod–Silay Airport to Cadiz City for Php 1600 (which is just Php 320). To be honest, there are far more cheaper way to go to the place but there were 5 of us in this trip a...

NO NEED TO BUY GEARS: WHAT YOU NEED TO HAVE WHILE SPELUNKING THROUGH THE LUMIANG-SUMAGUING CAVE CONNECTION

Spelunking is the exploration of caves as a hobby. In Sagada, they have a cave connection between Lumiang and Sumaguing Cave and the journey to go through it will take 3-4hours, depending on how fit your team is and how long you pause for photos. Of all the extreme activities I have ever done, this I believe is the most challenging (and trust me, I already did a lot). While doing this, I was tested not only physically and mentally, but spiritually as well. We were not provided with gloves and helmets (like they did in Palawan) and to be honest, I don’t think you will need any. In fact, halfway through the cave, I was asked to remove the shoes I bought before the trip. So much for my so called preparation. You will not need any equipment but here are the things that you must have: STAMINA - the whole activity took 3.5 hours so with that alone, you know that you have to have the strength for this activity.  You also have to be able to pull yourself up or push yourself ...

#InstaWorthy Places in Davao

"We travel to see the world not to take photos" Some people have this mantra, but not me. Others might find it narcissistic but I wanna be seen in the places I've been. Maybe a lot of travel photographers find that cringe worthy but in my opinion, if I want to just take a photo of the place, I can just buy a post card in the airport or something. Besides, I'm a traveler and a tourist (I don't care about the labels). I am not a travel photographer either so I'll do what I want no matter what other's opinion is. I encourage everyone to do so as well. After all that rant, I just want to share the #InstaWorthy places I've been in my recent trip. I will start doing this from now on. :) All pictures were taken by my friends. Feel free to copy our poses if you want. Lol Francisco Bangoy International Airport This city is so full of beautiful spots for pictures that right after getting off the plane, we were already able to take a good snapshot to ...

Adrenaline High in the Sky: Eden Nature Park and Resort

Eden Nature Park Bo. Eden, Toril, Davao City, Davao Del Sur It is my second attempt to visit Eden Nature Park because when I first tried last December, some wealthy family in Davao had it closed during the days I was there. (It's ok, I got over it.) My friend Zeli who is from Davao planned our itinerary and I'm so glad she included this. She said that it is one of her favorite places in the city. In fact, her family booked to stay there for the night because she will come home. They know her so well. Photo from Eden Nature Park and Resort's website It is a an hour drive from Ma-a, where we were staying but with all the chitchats (Yes, it is a known fact that girls can talk for hours), we didn't even notice it. The place reminds me of Baguio because it's cold and they have a lot of pine trees. There is a mandatory entrance fee but it's ok because it comes with food already. You can choose between a plated snack (choice between Tuna Melt or Spaghe...

Unlimited Shrimps below Php 400: Blue Posts Boiling Crabs and Shrimps

Photo from Blue Posts Facebook Account UNLIMITED SHRIMPS . These two words was enough to make us change our itinerary. I have always loved to eat seafood which is why I never considered myself as a mermaid no matter how much I love the ocean (because I'm pretty sure Ariel won't eat her underwater friends). What caught my attention as well is that it's only Php399. Can you believe that? Shrimp bucket has theirs at Php 560 by the pound. So yes, I am ditching the crocs (cause we're scheduled to go to Crocodile Farm) for this.  We had to go there by ourselves because my friend who is a local at Davao will stay the night at Eden. We don't have a ride and we don't even know where the restaurant was but we are determined. So determined that we rode a tricycle from Eden to Pan Pacific Highway just to get a cab because if we wait for the cab service that Eden Nature Park will get for us, it will take an hour. We cannot waste an hour more because it was al...
