Travel: The BORACAY Experience

Midyear of 2012 when we booked ourselves in Cebu Pacific bound to Kalibo, Aklan. Everyone was excited when we had our flight booked, because it was our first time to step in the amazing island of Boracay.

According to pareng Wikipedia, Boracay is a small island in the Philippines located approximately 315 km (196 mi) south of Manila and 2 km off the northwest tip of Panay Island in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines.  In 2012, Boracay was awarded as the best island in the world from the international travel magazine Travel + Leisure.

It was past 12 in the afternoon when we departed Manila bound to Kalibo, Aklan. The flight was delayed, as usual due to flight congestion a.k.a the air traffic. Nevertheless everyone was excited; we were experiencing the adrenalin rush, we cannot feel the exhaustion of our body. Going to Caticlan, when we arrived in Kalibo International Airport, there are already vans and bus that is bound to Caticlan. It costs around 300 pesos for bus and 200 for vans both modes of transportations are inclusive of boat ride. It is about 1.5 to 2 hours of land travel from Kalibo to Caticlan, and from Caticlan Port it would take 15 minutes boat ride to Jetty Port.

Welcome to Aklan!

When I had my first step in Boracay, there was a feeling of excitement. Unfortunately while riding in our service to our hotel in station 2, we experienced an uncertainty. That causes our delay to our appropriate hotel. The entire Boracay Island is somehow commercialized. There are business establishments. At last we had our check in Tan’s Guesthouse, which is located in Station 2. 

Our first night was quite excited. We had our first dinner in D’mall. Prices of food there were not too expensive. We walked in the seashore and observed the beauty of the island during the night.

For me, I will go back to boracay, since I have not fully enjoyed our stay there because there are activities that I want to experience.

To Let Go

       To let go is not to forget, not to think about, or ignore. It does not leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret. Letting go is not about winning or losing. It is not about pride and not about how you appear, and not obsessing or dwelling on the past. Letting go isn’t blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts, and it doesn’t leave emptiness, hurt, or sadness. It’s not about giving in or giving up.

      Letting go is not about loss and not about defeat. To let go is to cherish the memories, but to overcome and move on. It is having an open mind and confidence in the future. Letting go is learning, experiencing, and growing. To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you grow.

　

     It is about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will soon gain. Letting go is having the courage to accept change, and the strength to keep moving. Letting go is growing up. It is realizing that the heart can sometimes be the most potent remedy. To let go is to open a door, and to clear a path and set you free.

Cams

When a friend does something wrong, don't forget all the things they did right.

We, people, tend to look more closely on a someone’s mistakes rather than their good deeds. We are imperfect, but sure enough, we have done something good in the course of our lives - we made people happy, we gave our best, we helped someone, and so on. Let us remember that we’re alive to do our best, improve our personalities, and learn from our mistakes. Mistakes are there to help us become better persons, and experiences help us to correct our mistakes.

Paksh3t: Selos na ito

Ano nga ba ang selos? Kung i-tatrasnlate ito iyo ay jealousy.

According kay pareng wiki ito ay:

Jealousy is an emotion and typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something that the person values, particularly in reference to a human connection. Jealousy often consists of a combination of presenting emotions such as anger, resentment, inadequacy, helplessness and disgust. It is not to be confused with envy.

Ano daw? So sa madaling salita, masama ang pagseselos dahil ito ay nakaka-gago, nakakapraning, nakakasira ng pagkatao, at nakakasira ng relasyon. Kapag nakakaramdam ka na ng selos, dumidilim ang iyong paningin, nawawala ka sa tamang katinu-an, at ang mga bagay na akala mo hindi mo kayang gawin ay nagagawa mo. 

Ang sabi nila, nagseselos ang isang ta kapag nagmamahal na. Hindi na mahalaga kung ang taong un ay mahal ka rin. The fact  is nagseselos ka kasi may nararamdaman ka sa taong iyon. Halimbawa, may lumalandi sa jowakels m or may ung crush mo may kausap na ibang girlaloo. 


Sa totoo, okay lang naman magselos, huwag nga lang over...iba na yan. To think of it, ang pagseselos ay nagdadag-dag ng spice sa isang relasyon. At ang iba naman ay natutuwa dahil ang mga jowakels nila ay tunay nagmamahal sa kanila.

Laging tandaan, ang pagseselos ay parang isang pating - nangangain ng tao. aninira ng tao at ng relasyon. Kahit gaano kalawak ang pang unawa mo, kapag inatake ka ng selos, kikitid at kikitid pa rin ang utak mo. Walang ibang makakagamot dyan KUNDI IKAW. Huwag hayaang magpadala ng pagseselos, dapat ikaw ang nagkokontrol nito. Hindi ka magiging masaya.
