TWENTY

A video of me rambling and revealing my messed up thoughts on turning 20

I'm writing this blog post a night before i turn 20. Gahhh, i'm turning 20! It's such a crazy thought because i sure am not ready yet. Like with turning 20, that'll mean i'll have no more excuse for my childish actions, i'll have to face more responsibilities, and the idea that i'll now have to say goodbye to my teenage years is pretty epic. I mean it's like my teenage year will have to go out the window and that i'll have to open the door to legit adulthood now. Gahhhh! I'm seriously just not ready for it (refer to video to see how hectic my mind was).


My teenage life has been a blast, looking back i've done so many things. I've said this in the video but i just gotta type it all down again. But woah, growing up in different countries, adapting and trying to adjust to the places, environment, and the people was pretty dramatic. Finding my own self along the way, dealing with different personalities, going through breakups and backstabbing. I've experienced them all! The only regrets i have were making the wrong decisions, and hurting the people i've hurt because of that. But through those, i guess i have become stronger and wiser, and through those i now know who my real friends are. I know who has stayed when i needed them, and i know who will be there to accept me, comfort me and give me advices despite the wrong things i have done.


Well, i am pretty proud to say that before turning 20, i have my life a little fixed together. I mean i do have a boyfriend who's been there, is there and will be there for me. I also have amazing friends who i can count on, and a family who will support me. I've experienced everything i wanted to experience, so i'm pretty blessed at this stage of my life. I have the right people who will guide me to be a better person, and i have a more mature mind to help me make better decisions in life.


So i guess a pat on the back for being a stronger person now, Steph. Cheers to the adventures to come soon! Cheers to creating and making yourself into the successful person you want to become. And finally, cheers to happiness in the future.



Happy 20th, Steph. Go get 'em!

Tangadan Falls!

I was invited to go to Tangadan Falls by Jen. It was an early birthday celebration for her. So okay, first i didn't think i was going to go. Gahh, the call time was at 6 in the morning and i was still in Baguio at that time. That meant i had to take the first trip of Partas to travel to San Fernando. Didn't really like the idea of waking up that early, considering that i have been such a lazy bum the past few days. Haa! But i ended up going. It was freakin' Tangadan Falls! I was so jealous at the pictures of my friends who have been there already, so i just had to go!

Woke up at half past 2 in the morning on the 5th of June. I packed my bag, had a quick shower, then left. I left early so that i could catch a taxi straight away and thought that i might just wait at the bus station. I ended up waiting for a taxi ride for 30min though. My whole area was empty at 3 in the morning. I arrived at the bus station 15min earlier than i expected, which was good since i got a seat up front at the bus afterwards. Took a nap on the way then the next thing i knew i was already at Bauang, La Union. A breakfast at McDo was very much needed at that time, since i knew i was going to be hiking for over an hour later that day. Met up with the boyfriend and the others afterwards, then off we went!

They said it was going to be a 2 hour hike. But it ended up being just over an hour. It was epic hiking with slippery slippers, tripping here and there, getting cuts and scratches. Gahh, it was my first time to go hiking! Good thing my boyfriend was good at jumping, climbing, and hiking in general. He was there to help me every step of the way and would frequently hear him say "come on baby, you can do it!". I seriously don't know if i would've survived still if he weren't there. Haa! 

My first swim there was not cool. I swam and and got hit by a rock straight away on the knee. The sudden appearance of rocks was not cool at all. Was also scared to swim in the middle, didn't think i was that good of a swimmer to be able to survive. But i ended up trying, and hey, i didn't drown. Haa! I wasn't as bad as i thought. My boyfriend can't swim at all, so i ended up swimming with my friends instead. We later got the idea of putting him up on a floaty so that he can at least go near the falls, which was so epic! I was the one pushing him towards the falls while he was just sitting there like a king. He felt bad in the end, but hey, what can we do aye? Haha. My friends also ended up jumping of the cliff! They were so scared in the beginning but ended up jumping off of it. If only i wasn't so scared to drown, i would've done it too! I probably need more training. Will still have that "jumping off a cliff" on my bucket list!

At the end of the day i was just too damn tired to function. I was dirty, tired and weak. Though that was the case, i still had a blast! Such an awesome day it was.
