Day 83: Positive Reactions Are Very Encouraging

During lunch yesterday with my friends, I opened up about my #PHL80_23 plan – I just wanted to know if I am not really that “over-the-top” with my proposed project. I expected them to say “That’s impossible, don’t do it.” but they didn’t. Instead, one even said “I’ll join you…
Day 82: The Clash of What Ifs

I am still in the verge of reading some books about the Philippines, and yes, some are really not that up to date. I highlighted the places that I want to go. For a 2-day 6-hour limit in each Province (that’s the initial plan) I am still doubtful if I…
Day 81: I Don’t Want To Die Just Yet

Fear of the unknown. It’s every person’s nightmare. Fear of death? I might raise my hand with that. Thinking about backpacking around the 80 provinces of the Philippines (solo) is already a threat to me. Combine also the risks that I will take. C’mon? Everybody should be cautious. I mean,…
Day 80: A Project Within A Project

Recently, while filling in the objectives and route of my #PHL80_23 project, I came to realize that there are so many things to do. Among which is research. I spent 12 hours (today) studying books about the Philippines, reading relative information in the web, and scanning through the different regions, provinces,…
Day 79: How NOT To Be Alone

Simple. Find someone to share a coffee, burger, and “life” stories with on a rainy afternoon. Not to mention a 3.11-mile walk along the metro. That’s very easy to do. haha. Speaking of stories, my best pal, RJ, had a lot to share too – from his planned “dreams” to…
Day 78: How To Be Alone

Being alone does not mean being totally lonely. Sometimes I do want to be with myself to collect my thoughts, meditate, and just have that time of “freedom.” I got so inspired by this video: Life is very simple. 8) HOW TO BE ALONE by Tanya Davis If you…
Day 77: Mid-Year Project Conceptualization

It’s been 77 long and fun days of undergoing the travel basics, meeting new people along the way, learning how to “save” and itching for more adventures. It’s been such an awesome ride. I started this blog to document my preparation for a trip around the world (a 2-year process…
Day 76: How Traveling Makes You A Better Person

Grace, Annabelle, Jun-Jun, and Carlo, I met these kids at Inayawan, Cebu – a place where the big municipal landfill is at. You get to meet a lot of families who are still dependent on garbage (just like in the Calahunan Dumpsite, Iloilo), children just collect things from the filthy…
Day 75: Hell Week Starts Now

Let’s just say I have a lot of projects to complete before the end of the month and on a scale from 1 to 10 where 10 is being completely done, I’m at 2. Aside from trying to work “36″ hours a day, I am also on a diet –…
