Of Spur of the Moment Decisions

I am a contradiction of sorts. I am both hot and cold. I love making lists and discarding them. I like planning ahead of time yet I love making spur of the moment decisions.

Just recently, I made an unplanned trip to Camiguin with my friends Vanessa, Apple and Charlotte. A good friend of mine, Keissy, actually gave me tickets for Palawan but no one wanted to go there as it was too expensive to travel there during the summer season and I did not feel like traveling alone with my present state of mind. I was feeling overwhelmed about a lot of things and I was beginning to feel my age. I did not like the idea that I would feel like crying over the smallest of things. I got irritable too so I knew escape was in order for me to get out of my funk.

And it was exactly what I needed… a rendezvous in paradise. Being in my happy place has erased the blues that were bugging me right after I celebrated my birthday. The moment I stepped in the sandy shores of Camiguin, I felt like I just died and gone to heaven.

And who would not be happy in paradise? Certainly not me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last weekend, I found myself in Iligan for the 2nd JCI ACM. I did not plan on going. In fact I even made plans to meet different group of friends over the weekend but things change so on Friday at close to 11PM, I found myself on a road trip going to Iligan. Hahaha! talk about 11th hour trips. But I had loads of fun. I get to meet a lot of new friends. I get to enjoy an epic pool party despite the alcohol shortage. Yup…in short…. these two spur of the moment getaways were exactly what I wanted- fun, relaxing and hassle free. Exactly what my crazy mind needed to detox and de-stress.

 

 

A Sojourn to Asia’s Latin City

This was one trip that I almost failed to make. Thanks to electronic glitches by Air Philippines, the tickets I have booked a few months ago became void. Iactually understand that shit happens but I did not expect that the Customer Service Rep of Air Philippines at the Mactan International Airport to be rude and insolent. Too bad. She was pretty but she was pretty antagonistic too.

So Bula and Mael left for Zamboanga on Friday while I had to rebook my tickets on Saturday. Good thing the trip was worth the hassles and the extra expenses. Bula’s family was very accommodating. We were able to visit Fort Pilar, Paseo del Mar, ate Satti at Jimmy’s, went to the tree house, spent a fun afternoon in Woodlands, experienced the night life in Catribu and danced the night away at Halo. We had fun haggling for prices at the Black Market then  feasted on succulent Curacha for lunch at Alavars. We almost failed to make it in time for our flight back to Cebu.
