Fearless? :)

 

Saturday (May 21), i was busy manning our booth all day that all i could think of was that the next day will be Sunday and i programmed myself not to do anything by that time. Little did i know i won't be getting any break for the rest of that particular weekend. Maru and Verna kept bugging me :) to come with them to Agas-Agas and experience the zip line. I, being a person who's afraid of heights did not plan on going the least bit. I just informed my sister Gelyn of the trip so she can come if ever she decides to since she's the one most eager to try the zip line. The plan was to meet up at Baybay terminal 8:00 in the morning the next day.

Sunday came. I was relaxing in my bed when i suddenly remembered the trip. It was already past 8 am by then. I have no idea what came to me that i suddenly asked Gelyn that we come together to the trip. After a little negotiation with my sister, we finally texted Verna about us coming with them. Long story short, we went with Maru, Verna, ate Jihan, kuya Adrian, Dariel and Darlene to Agas-Agas, ziplined for 280 meters long and had the most exhilirating, scary, and thrilling 45 seconds of our lives so far! :) i can't believe i was able to muster the guts to do that. Guess i'm not that scared of heights after all.

Here are some photos taken during the trip (from Dariel and ate Jihan's camera)...

it was high! crazy high. looking at it from this point the first time made me double think about trying.

glad i didn't chicken out though. :)

i wasn't feeling a tad bit nervous when i was in this position. #pretendingnot

i'm not good at estimating but the view down from the bridge was really high.

scaredy-cat.. :]
Here comes!

with Darlene, after the flight! haha.

our attempt at a jump shot.(me, Gelyn, Dariel & Vernabelle)

 our mode of transportation. hehe

 couldn't get a decent jump shot! nauna man kog landing oi! haha

'tis was after all of us zipped already.

of course, we took pictures at the bridge for remembrance.

with my sister, Gelyn. 

The whole experience was priceless for me. The experience of being almost close to flyng was a blast! The breathtakingly beautiful view reminds you of God's gift around us. We are blessed more than we can ever fathom. Plus it was more fun because of the people i went with. Makes me want to go back and try it again. Who wants to come?! :) xoxo

Super Woman

How do you define a super woman? Someone who is talented? Successful? Or perhaps remarkable? Those are just a few descriptions of a super woman. Yes. I believe super women exist. They are all around us and we see them every day. They are with us every time, ready to lend us a helping hand whenever we need it. We even take them for granted at times. I'm most definitely talking about our Mothers (Mom, Mama, Nanay, Mommy or whatever we call them).

Mother dearest.

Oftentimes, we forget the many sacrifices our mothers do for us. It takes a whole lot of skills & "super powers" to be a mom -- at least that's what I believe because I'm not yet even a mother. All I know is that it's never an easy job but it's also the best job there is.

In honor of all the mothers out there, we celebrate "Mother's Day"-- a day that is dedicated to moms alone. That even for just a day, we are given a chance to celebrate and give appreciation for all the goodness they have unconditionally given us all these years in our lives. In fairness to us, we never miss out on greeting Mama a "happy mother's day", though we're not big on celebrating it. That being said, I was wishing we can celebrate it with a small family gathering. Fortunately for us, mother's day and my uncle gene's birthday falls on almost the same date so we are having a "handaan"! :) 

 

Mama & me. 

Indeed this day calls for a celebration for countless reasons. For without our mothers, we wouldn't be where we are right now. We prolly won’t be the own persons that we are if our mothers have not been there for us all this time. I can actually call my mom a "super woman" for the same reason that you should call your own moms "super woman" also. I believe that title suits my mom and yours perfectly well! haha! Imagine taking care of all six of us, of course with the help of Papa but still the task was never easy. 

Words cannot describe how grateful i am to God for giving me such great parents, with their assets and imperfections altogether. So for this coming "mother's day", let us all greet our moms a happy one.. and better if we give them a hug and a kiss. :)

Happy Mother's day to all the moms out there! :)

i'm not quite much of a fan of Selena Gomez but i'm loving her song "Who Says". I love the melody of the song as well as the lyrics of it. very empowering and just a feel-good song for me. 

Who Says - Selena Gomez and The Scene

I wouldn't wanna be anybody else.

You made me insecure

Told me I wasn’t good enough

But who are you to judge

When you’re a diamond in the rough

I’m sure you got some things

You’d like to change about yourself

But when it comes to me

I wouldn’t want to be anybody else

Na na na

Na na na

I’m no beauty queen

I’m just beautiful me

Na na na

Na na na

You’ve got every right

To a beautiful life

C'mon

[Chorus]

Who says

Who says you’re not perfect

Who says you’re not worth it

Who says you’re the only one that’s hurting

Trust me

That’s the price of beauty

Who says you’re not pretty

Who says you’re not beautiful

Who says

[Selena Gomez - Verse 2]

It’s such a funny thing

How nothing’s funny when it’s you

You tell ‘em what you mean

But they keep whiting out the truth

It’s like a work of art

That never gets to see the light

Keep you beneath the stars

Won’t let you touch the sky
