Subic Tree Top Adventure

I had a hard time thinking where to spend my birthday last march 31, well I decided to have an adrenaline rush and went to Subic Tree Top Adventure.

Where we were suspended like 60 meters above the ground for zip lines (superman ride),canopy, Tree Drop (this is soooOoo scary, my knees were shaking after!) and the survival demo (sooo tiring)..As they say,
Get High on Nature with Tree Top Adventure!

We took a bus to Subic from Victory Liner (Pasay) and took a cab from Subic freeport to the Subic Treetop Adventure. Well, it was super fun, I was with Ivy ruth and my lakwatsera buddies Joy and Tin. So let's begin!

Survival Demo
The survival demo required trekking for about 10-15 minutes. I was so tired and sweating maybe because I havent had any physical activities for the past months. We were taught how to build fire from treebarks and bamboo, types of plants that can be water sources and the like. Its was fun, a good learning experience and it brought me back to my girl scout days.hehe

Canopy Walk
We started with the canopy walk, which was boring for me. You'll just walk through their jungle trails situated 50-60 feet above the ground. Its not really scary and I actually felt safe because the suspension bridges were made of metal and doesnt really move when you walk like a hanging bridge.


 

safety first

 

lezzz go!

 

Its a good thing hey have lockers where you can leave your things. They also have a store inside where you can buy drinks and food.

Another thing I liked about the experience is that the staff was great. They were so nice and they really made us feel safe and comfortable.

Canopy Chair Lift Ride
In the canopy chair ride, you'll get to see the view around the place. I just sat there and appreciated the nature surrounding me. The ride was pretty slow though and may last up to 1.5 hours depending on how long you take to disembark and linger at each station.

 

The Superman Experience
The superman ride was great. It was just like the zipline found in Tagaytay People's Park but the difference is once you get to the end, it would pull you back to the starting point and the ride was faster compared to the one in Tagaytay.

PS. My only complain is that the harness was painful because they place it around the stomach.

Tree Drop
The tree drop adventure is my favorite, its the best. Im not really afraid of heights and I wasnt scared but after this ride, my knees were shaking.  It was such an adrenaline rush and I want to do it again!

Clark Hot Air Balloon Festival 2010

one of my dreams is to ride a hot air balloon, but since its expensive, well just have to save for that one for now.

and today i got to see a lot of hot air balloons, kites and everything flies. yey! im with my lakwatsera buddies joyjoy and tin.

Hot air Balloon festival happens every year, every Febuary at Clark,  Pampanga.

sah.joy.tin

They have different activities, everyone can fly kites, they have kiosks and food booths. The main event would be the display of hot air balloons, if you wouldnt be able to catch it by 5-6am, then you can catch it later like 6-7pm like we did.

Since we have a lot of time to kill, we went to SM Clark to have lunch.

serah and tina nagiikot@sm clark

when we went back to the festival at arounf 4pm. We bought food,pillows,  and a blanket.

wow kite

may blanket na din kami! haha!

pizza!

If you dont have a car, it would be best to leave the place earlier, festivals ends @8-9pm. Because its not easy to take a ride to the bus terminal. Plus the terminal there came from other terminals already so they just have a few seats available.

he said he's leaving, i accepted that.

before he left, everything was okay. He made me feel things will be alright. He'll visit, he'll call.
I thought everything's going to be okay. Things are not going to be easy, i knew that. But I was willing to
make the sacrifices just to make it work.


and then, just a month after he left he says he doesn't want to make the relationship deeper because things will be just
hard for the both of us. How selfish is that?

my heart yells: OUCH!

so what does that mean?
what he feels for me and the times that we shared together are all LIES.

"the truth didn't hurt, the lies did"

And whats worse, he didn't even let me know that he's leaving now, FOR GOOD. He left me hanging, waiting.



Waiting......



for.......




nothing.....






and he said he did not guarantee anything? well guess what? that's bs.




why did you have to kill me? I can die on my own.

My heart Died Today

my heart died today, april 02,2009.

Things are just starting to get really special. But then, life wouldn't just let me be happy.
First off, he said he's about to resign. I didn't want to talk about it. He was hired in a company in Pampanga. What? All along I thought he's going to stay here. But there's still hope deep inside that he'll change his mind. Then reality sets in.

s: di ko alam sasabihin ko, ano ba ko sayo?
 
n: ur more than a friend choy
 
s: lagi ako inaasar ni rolet kung bakit wala akong bf, kasi daw ung mga boys ko hanggang    introduction lang, walang ginagawa.naiinis ako sa kanya pag ganun di na lang ako nagsasalita..
   I like you, in case you havent noticed.pro alam ko naman yung tungkol sa family mo at naiintidihan    ko din na sila ung priority mo. I realized that i dont need a rel just to prove that what i feel is       real. pero ang gulo lang..tas aalis ka..xempre di madali sakin un..
 
n: alam ko naman un at nalulungkot din ako..nahihiya na
    DI KITA MAPANINDIGAN SARAH...
 
s:  ayoko maawa sa sarili ko pero un ung nararamdaman ko, kung yun ung choice na pinili mo wala naman akong magagawa don eh..
 
n:  uh dont have to feel that way..please dont..im sorry choy..;c
 
n:  choy sorry..


di kita mapanindigan..the words keep playing on my mind over and over..then tears fell from my eyes. I don't want to think or feel anything, make me numb.

Falling Star

i was staring at the stars hoping id catch one fall.

I practically tried all the wishing wells all over Baguio with just one single wish in mind. It got me thinking, things could have been perfect if he's here. The trip was really fun and its my first time going out of town with these girls, but I am not that happy without him. Here we go again, me talking about him, using the pages of this blog and the audience might get tired of the same old story. But what can I do? I cant last a day without thinking about him.

But what's sad is that even though he can be one of my priorities, his list of priorities is so full that my five letter name couldn't fit at all. He has a lot of reasons and he can think of a thousand more. As an old tagalog saying goes...

"kung gusto may paraan kung ayaw may dahilan"..

I dont want to expect. I honestly dont want to expect at all. But this stupid heart is so stubborn and was expecting a fairy tale ending. But is it my fault? I like him because he made me like him, I expected because he made me expect things and im just human to fall.

and yes, you read me right.FALL.

I know things are not happening as I planned. What I told myself before is that Id just enjoy the moment and what happens happens. But things are starting to hurt already. I realized, were not even a couple yet but what I always get are disappointments and a broken self esteem. Im not demanding things from him and he knows that. Up to now I dont know what am I to him.

I guess, for him I'm not worth the risk and I cant understand myself that in spite of it all, I'm still here.

IM TIRED OF THIS GAME ALREADY but I cant make myself QUIT.
