Into the Blue at Adventure Cove Sentosa

Image
It's so uncommon for me to get free tickets, but this time is different! Woohoo! (Thank you, sponsor!) 30 June 2018 - I cannot keep my excitement. It's finally tourist mode for Alex and me. We decided to meet up at Vivocity at around 10 in the morning. I arrived a little later than that. Nonetheless, we arrived at Sentosa just nicely - not a lot of people flocking the queues yet.  Here are some of our awesome fun at Adventure Cove! Our cute tickets. When we entered the gates, our bags were checked and we were asked if we brought outside food. Apparently, outside food is not allowed. We did bring, but the guy never asked us to leave it so yeah. Our first stop was a Maze. A cute concept with some simple ropes course on top of it! These "waterfalls" and random water splashing at your face when you go through this maze. A pirate ship-themed water display. We didn't go to this one just because it wasn't as interesting. (To be honest, I ...

"It's okay to be scared. Being scared means you're about to do something really, really brave." Fear: A Foe or a Friend  Once you reach a point in time when you find yourself clutching your chest as if trying to steady your heart and you are faced with a decision that you know will forever change your life, then take a deep breath and reach for it.  Uncertainty is scary. Not knowing where you are or what's going to happen next sure is dreadful. But you know what's worse? It's not being able to move. See, fear is a paralysing thing. It magnifies worries, self-doubts and insecurities. It overshadows the light, the goal, and what could be. But being scared is alright and being scared is important. It's a reminder that you are alive. It's a sign that there's an impending change. Being scared is a signal for you to take action because you are on to something great. The moment you decide to let go, just break free and let lo...

Why Bantayan Island is a Must-Visit Place

I'm mostly an introvert who adores being inside the house reading a book or watching a movie, but today is different. It's finally Summer! These past few months, I have been longing to go to the beach and swim to my heart's content (by the shallow part of the sea since I don't know how to swim lol). So, I've decided to ask my college friends if they'd like to go on a trip to Northern Cebu. Only 1 was available so it was final then, Cecil & I are going to the hidden gem of the North: Bantayan Island.  We both have it on our bucketlist: to visit Bantayan and finally we now have the chance to tick it off.  Day 1 4:00 AM - Went to North Bus Terminal for a direct bus going to Hagnaya Port. Unfortunately, the earlier bus has left at 3:15 AM and the next one would be at 5 AM. We were left with an option to join another group inside a V-hire (or van). Oh, and look at that gorgeous sunrise! I am always in awe of how God has made the Earth so bea...
