The Point of No Return

-


My friends will probably agree with me when I say I got the most bipolar way of thinking and making decisions. I easily say yes, then, later on, will say no or probably come up with a silly excuse or something. Well, you might probably be twisting my neck if you will experience it first hand, and I am not the type that will deny it, haha. I don't know if anyone will get me but I believe that when making a decision, in any matter, whether you will go right or go wrong, you will still be getting the result that you wanted. In a sense of, how you will act towards the choice that you made. A lot of people will say that the mistakes that they made were results of their weaknesses and poor judgment. And then there come the consequences of their actions which most of the time they resulted in being unhappy. And then what? we become blinded and lost and at some point, we run away from it.

Our actions always and will always be a justification of our being. We got a lot of hurdles to predict which path and decision should we make and we stumble to correct it and some of it, we just think of living with it. Again, it is hard to put the right things into actions.

But, you know what, at the end of the day, what do you feel about it? Is the decision you made make your heart feel lighter? Is it at peace? Is it the truth? Will that makes you happy and those people involved in it? Masarap iinsert dito ang four golden rules ng Rotary Club.

 I made a lot of bad decisions and mistakes, and I am certain that I will make more of it but now, I think I am a bit aware. That no matter how difficult it may be, I will try hard to do things right and to take my failures into a new perspective. Letting those stones be a teacher, learn from them and take a closer look at it to perfect which part of the decision I made wrong. The value of our mistakes is a blessing to improve our self and to become better, depending on how much effort we are willing to put on it. It is like a rebirth of a portion of yourself.

I like to think that we can all live out of our bubbles of mistakes, not easy to correct but we got the infinite power to make it right and redirect ourselves to be a better person. It will shape Who We Are and Who Will We Become. After all, we have a world that doesn't play backward. It is a Point of No Return.

Not a budol, we really made it to Boracay!

 I am trying to avoid mentioning the  Covid19   word here and I think we can all agree that you are reading my crappy writing ( hehe ) because you want to know how to go on vacation and finally feel the bliss of flying out of Manila again. Well, rejoice, fellow immortals, let me share with you all our success stories on how we went and came back safe and virus-free from Boracay!  Traveling is always considered a privilege and leisure thing for most of us, and sadly not a priority, especially in times like this. But as we go along with our everyday WFH Life, we have that daydream of hitting the beach or just being in the outdoors without a mask and face shield on our faces to get our sanity back. That is why when we heard that Boracay re-opened for tourists, we don't have any second-guessing and booked that golden ticket right away!  The first question you might be asking is it safe to travel? The answer is YES! Kudos to the local government unit in Boracay for being so efficient in

Philippines : What else to see Elyu?

If you probably know where to find the coolest and sexiest boys and girls in Luzon, I am sure that you are a suki of  Urbiztondo beaches, the place where local surfers and newbies are stoked with the playful waves of La Union sea. As the Surfing Capital of Northern Luzon, Elyu ( cool shortcut name for La Union ) is one of the busiest beaches during hype time for surfing. Well, going there during the lame season might not be a good idea, but I see it as an opportunity to explore what else we might love to this simple and hippie town. So, what else can you find and do in Elyu if you ain't gonna use your surfboards?  Just a little outside Urbiztondo, you can go and relax at Thunderbird Secret Paradise beach. It is absolutely free of entrance and only a few tourists know this place ( it is called secret paradise, right?) You got a calm sea and a rural cliff for your hugot moments Go at the main road and look for Ma-Cho Temple . An uphill walk to this temple whe

Spirited away in Taiwan

Taiwan's tourism charm was an understatement. It has a nice airport, socially graceful Chinese people and has delectable street food at night markets. I went there last year to celebrate my birthday and yes, I've traveled alone again,lol . There are just two agendas I have on my mind: drink the legit Milk Tea ( because this is the birthplace of milk teas ) and to visit the place where one of my favorite writers used to hang out.  Being a #titamode, I did not find it appealing anymore to go to major tourist spots like Taipei 101 building for I really want to have a slow-paced journey which means I want to take on more walking. The MRT system is very efficient like those in Hong Kong and Japan, you only have to memorize where is the Taipei Main Station and you will be all right.  Food, food, food! All the food in Taipei tasted very good! I love everything even the coriander dessert which makes me conclude that it's my favorite herbs, haha.

Penang: If You Love Street Arts, Ask George

Why, hello there. I am not an artsy person but I love old stuff, that is why even if its a 6-hour ride from Kuala Lumpur, I went to see the kampong island  of Penang. The first time I visited it, I'm a solo traveler. Since I was living in Kuala Lumpur for more than a year now, I'm very intrigued when locals say that the best food and best people are located on this isolated island. The thought of eating a decent kuey teow goreng and beef noodles makes me so excited, though I never think about getting the hype about the street arts which is the famous attraction in the area.  I booked my hostel along the UNESCO World Heritage Site called George Town. It is where all the street arts are located. I was amazed to see creatively fading arts on the walls, with different concepts and different feels.  Who would have thought that street arts can be enjoyed? As Penang is originally a quiet island with a very rich tradition, some of the artists decided to create a r
