Life Lessons


A few years back and up until now, I've already heard some news of some people who died young unexpectedly. Some of them came from different personalities- may it be a student, teenager, or a young professional or a celebrity...no one really is an exception. For most of us, we can't really deny that whatever the cause of death of some of these people even if we're not related to them, we still have a feeling of sympathy for them. That their lives are too short for it to happen. I, personally, can say that whenever I heard some news like a celebrity who just died young, I'll really be saddened, because it can brought me into life's lesson. Added to these celebrity who died unexpectedly (last Saturday night) was the comediene artist, Chocoleit. Because of what had happened to him, I really came into some realizations.


  • If I haven't grown up, I wouldn't have realized the truth behind the quote, "Life is too short". Back in the childhood days, 70-80 years seem so long. How could anybody say it's too short? But when I hit my teenage years, I realized not everybody is given the chance to even live that long. And when I hit my thirties, that's when the quote made all the sense. Life is indeed too short. You're only given a very short amount of time to do what makes you happy, find and fulfill your purpose, create an impact on the lives of others and live meaningfully. And that truth is what makes time so valuable.


    • Upon realizing this, every minute of every hour of my everyday started to have more value. There's definitely no more time for slacking off or being unproductive. Since I hit my thirties, aside from having work, I usually spend more time outdoors and traveling since that made my soul happy. I become engrossed with the feeling of getting lost and finding myself and I forgot that there are also people at home who needs me. This realization did not make such an impact in my life until recently.

    • Because of what happened, I realized that knowing how to spend your time is not only what matters but also who you spend it with and how that's going to make a difference in a person's life especially if the person really need it the most.

    Life is short. Time is limited. But if you make good use of it and make it meaningful then it doesn't matter how much time you've got. And life becomes meaningful when you've lived not only for yourself but also in service of others.

    I've learned that it is good to spend time with yourself but it is better to spend it with those people whom you love and care most about. Just because you think these people are going to be with you for a long time is not really a guarantee. Nobody knows for sure. And never take somebody's presence for granted just because they're always there. Tell your parents everytime how much you love them and regularly check on your friends. Also, make sure to lend a hand or an ear to those who needs you. Make time. It might save a life.

    Camotes Island: Our Trip to the Lost Horizon of the South

    Imahe
    Summer is not just the time to go to places to relax, unwind and soul searching. You can have all the days you want, all the time you need and all the places to visit. Since I was in college, I always wanted to visit some bigger islands here in Cebu. Human combustion isn’t real. At least, that’s what my science professors in college and high school said. Yet, somehow, I felt like I was on the verge of bursting into flames as the dry season was about to officially kickoff. With Metro Cebu heating up environmentally and politically, I had a craving for a refreshing escapade to get away from the hot spell. And, as I was going through a multitude of options, a beautiful idea flashed into my mind. Why not take a plunge at the famous beaches and trendy places in Camotes Island here in Cebu? So, I, together with my laag buddies, ventured into the neigboring town, Camotes Cebu, and released our happy hormones at Lake Danao, Paraiso Cave, Busay Falls, Buho Rock Resort, Santiago White ...

    The Cafe Hopper!

    Imahe
    Apart from being workaholic person, I also set my another businesses into pleasures which I'm always counting on. Because I believe some things should not be taken for granted for those have been around for a long time.  What I'm talking about actually are the simple pleasures that also gives meaning to life. And some of these might be new for me because it's more indulging, like my newest passion, "photography." But recently, I'm into hops and fun! Particularly in a place called Cafe.. So, yes, I'm now literally called a cafe hopper even if I'm too occupied with work-related activities. It's another new simple pleasure and a new temporary "humble abode" for me (just fondly called) because there's no place like home, anyway! hehe.  Needless to say, I'm overjoyed when I'm in a cafe, considering it's as odd as before. I guess, this started when I've experienced and learned so many things from all the travels, adven...

    Alicia Hills: The Gleaming Rolling Hills of Alicia, Bohol

    Imahe
                          Every adventure connoisseur needs a little spontaneity in their getaways. In the age of Facebook, Instagram and Google, we rarely take a hike for a simple exploration adventure. Nowadays, everything is researched, planned and even rehearsed. Of course, we all know the thrill of hiking somewhere awe-inspiring is still there. But, wouldn’t it be better or more exciting if your escapade started the moment you chase the 5:00 a.m. boat trip to Bohol? Wouldn’t it be more rewarding and fulfilling to go somewhere barely touched by tourists like Alicia Panoramic Hills? Alicia Town Proper                              And, I get it – most of us don’t like the feeling of uncertainty. We are all scared of exploring the unknown and not having a clue on what’s going to happen. We are afraid that things will not go as expected or t...
