🔮 Life Lately — Vol. 3: Spontaneity, Demotivation and Appreciation

Two significant people came to the world (and into my life, hihi) on March 10! How could you have the same natal day?? I mean, that's so fascinating. Haha

You didn't know I took this, huh? Happy birthday!

We then proceeded to Medina for the Alibuag Cold Spring. I then realized I've been there before. Lels if you want a cold and refreshing swim to beat the summer heat, it's a must-visit!



Can I offer all the apologies because I haven't done a full post on Alomah's Place yet? It's srsly a gem worth sharing and all I ever do is tease people with my pictures... I will get to that blog feature, I swear~


So yeah, another affair with the dzais is going back to Alomah's for our assessment. It was nerve-wracking being up so early on a Sunday, cruising to Dahilayan and being assessed. Then again, we may have prepared toooo much. Haha better than not, right? Anyhoo, mission accomplished! Congrats to us!


There were SHS kids with us and thank you to the chosen few who took these group photos! I should really bring my tripod next time because these are the instances I can't deal being the photographer


Don't you just wanna go there and snap a million shots!? Not only the visuals, but you'll love the cool winds that I don't get to feel in the city. Whew, fresh air, come to meee


And my first CDO Bloggers event this year, tada, it's for Fast Cat!



I posted this on my page and it unexpectedly got *viral*. There's definitely a first time for crazy notifs. Hihi I'm thankful! But folks keep asking me about the rates, which I already posted; some even asked me to book for them! I should've put a disclaimer that I'm not an employee of Fast Cat? Haha


As bloggers, we attended their opening ceremony then were given a tour of their vessel for Opol - Balbagon (Camiguin) - Jagna (Bohol). It's really superb and it's nearby CDO, so isn't Fast Cat convenient? I'm looking forward boarding and traveling with them soon! That's the time I'll do a thorough review~ *winks*



Street festivals have stopped being my thing but here was a free weekend to hang out and chill so why not?


These yellow trees are eye candies! Anyone knows what they're called? I see them around Bukidnon and I want to grow them in my own backyard. Wishful thinking~

  

The highlight though: the fireworks display! It was the best I've seen so far, especially the ending. Just OUTSTANDING. I don't have proof but yall, if you were there, WOW. Craning our necks for long was well worth it.


And that Sunday after going to Kaamulan Festival, I got back together with family to spend it at Golden Dream Resort in Jasaan.



And such streak continued onto the Holy Week where we all went home to Don Carlos, Bukidnon. Thank God for less time on the road though, since we were traveling by car. I don't think I can handle commuting there again as it takes like 5 hours? Ironic since I'd go there in a heartbeat when I was younger...


One afternoon, we visited Lake Pinamaloy! Oh, how I remember past summers where I spent time here and learned to bike. It's really near our house there so cousins and I frequented it. We didn't go around the lake this time, which I wanted to do. The opposite side is much more peaceful and I need. some. peace.


This family trip was greater because of my niece (Chloe) and nephew (Akiru). They are soooo cute, no bias! *gigil ensues*

  




Whew, what a month!?

#Fulfillment2018 is yet to unfold for me... Just like my fave Camie Juan said in her post, "...the only way to get out of this weird funk is to acknowledge there's a problem (which I am now), and just actively being self-aware that I need to get up and do something with my life. I don't think there's a life hack or a magical shortcut to get around this. I just need to get up and do something, anything, even if inspiration doesn't strike me. If I wait for inspiration to strike, then I'll never get anywhere in life. I need to get off my ass and just inspire myself to keep going."

I don't wanna seem ungrateful. I'm not complaining. I have so many blessings: people (these in here + more), things, work, travel, etc. and I appreciate each and every one. My mind just really wanders and here's to controlling it to positivity. Let's be positive! *consoles self*
