An Update from My List: Tagaytay Adventure (Pt. 2)

What the hell :)) I can't help but laugh at myself for forgetting about this blog and this post! I remember last year that I was so excited about this idea of keeping a blog and updating it from time to time whenever something worthwhile happens to me. Oh well, I guess since I promised that our adventure (from last year LOL) will have a part 2, here goes.

So for the Part 2 of our little adventure in Tagaytay (I'm trying my best to remember it since gosh it's almost its anniversary haha), after tiring ourselves and pigging out at Olivarez, we headed back to our hotel.

Whoever's idea it was it sucked, but we didn't take any pictures that night so this post will be pretty boring since it's only words.

Justice through Social Media(?)

When has this been an accepted norm? Why is it being practiced in the first place?

Seriously, my feed is constantly bombarded by posts that aims to "seek justice" from their actual or supposed experience of injustice.

To be honest, whenever I see one of those, I silently laugh and simultaneously pity you. What you're trying to do is seek the sympathy of the masses. Asking them to be on your side because you're the first one to air out your frustrations. This is what I do especially in cases wherein there are supposedly two parties involved.

There are things that should and should not be posted in social media. There are information that are supposed to be filtered from our itchy hands. There are situations that should be kept in private. And there are injustices that can be resolved without the knowledge of all of the world.

There was a saying created by the news reports team of one channel: Think, before you click.
And I'm afraid this is not being taken seriously. What most netizen actually do is "Click, before you think." and what's worst is that sometimes thinking is not even part of the process.

An Update from My List: Tagaytay Adventure (Pt. 1)

Okay, so I recently crossed out two more items from my "official" bucket list which were:

• Get drunk (LOL, easy one)
• ROAD TRIP!

So last November 14 and 15 (perfectly planned because of payday!), my friends and I decided to head south to Tagaytay. I'm not really sure if I can consider this as a formal road trip since in the first place, we didn't have a car HAHA. But anyway, I guess this will do because we really did enjoy ourselves!!!

First off, we rode a bus to Tagaytay at some random bus station at Buendia-Taft. We're supposed to arrive at the hotel we booked at 1PM, since that's the time I reserved it, but because of the heavy traffic in Cavite proper, we arrived at quarter to 2PM. Which is not that bad considering we started travelling pretty late.

After checking in at Tagaytay Econo Inn, located right in the middle of Tagaytay, we decided to rest for a while before starting our tour.

RE: Bucket List (For the Year 2015)

I can't believe I completely forgot about this thing I did a few months back!
But anyway, I have achieved quite a lot from the list I made back in May this past few months :)
And here it is!!!

• Climb Taal Volcano! (because I wasn't able to come with my friends #sad)

I can't believe I was able to achieve this feat this year! I actually had little faith that I'll be able to do this thing by this year! But look at me!!! Here are some of the pics I took while climbing :)

Guidelines as to which trail you can use when climbing Taal

Almost at the top! You can see here the Binintiang Malaki which is actually the extinct cone and most thought to be the main volcano. We had to ask our bangkero about this one HAHA.

TAAL VOLCANO'S MAIN CRATER!!! \:D/

Achievement of the year right there! 

I also did a video of our Taal Adventure :> Check it out below!

Don't I?

I have the right to choose what really makes me happy, don't I?

It can't always be accepting things that I'm highly against and live with it my entire life, right?

I'm not a human who can bear so much weight on their shoulder and live life as if nothing's wrong and everything is perfect, right?

I can't always sacrifice my happiness and continue to fight if it isn't working anymore for me, right?

I'm just a normal human being who has limits and has the right to choose between what makes me happy and what makes me feel incomplete, aren't I?

Help?

I can't stop thinking about it. I try my best to distract myself.. fck I can't even write a proper blog post about it.

I'm tired. I don't want to deal with this kind of things anymore. I want it to end but I'm afraid that if I stop fighting, it'll be the end of what I have always wanted in my life.

I can't help but think about leaving. About stopping. About not giving a single fck. About not caring.

But in the end I know that if I do, it'll be my greatest regret.
