Bohol x Tarsier Sanctuary

As I was saying on my previous post, upon arriving in Tagbilaran Airport, we went straight to our day tour and explore the City of Friendship, we had our own itinerary but kuya driver insist that we should see the Famous Tarsier’s first, so we all agreed to him since he’s the one familiar with the place and well he’s our tour guide/driver! Haha. :P

Bohol x City of Friendship

Finally, after a year of not posting or updating any travel related post in this little space of mine, here's my first entry for my #elaitraveldiary this year. :)

Hello 22 x Future

A few days ago, I turned 22, and instead of having any birthday blues and a big birthday celebration, I feel so loved by everyone and really thankful to spend it with the people close to my heart. I have written down a few things and imagined what I want for my future to be like. Haha! I was told before that if you have a dream and wants to achieve it, you should write it on a piece of paper or cut out pictures of it and pin or post it where you can always see it. Because that way, you will always be reminded and be motivated to do everything for it.

 And as for me, here are just a few from my list. Haha. The things my heart’s desire to achieve 20 – 30 years from now, (dreaming is free, no judging please!) :)

Perfectly Imperfect

When you said something hurtful about an individual and feels guilty afterwards, just think that you are not perfect. That you are a human being who is destined to make mistakes unintentionally and make others feel that you’re a “what-is-wrong-with-you” kind of person. In times like this, saying sorry (with sincerity of course!) is the most simplest but the effective and right way to make things right. It may take a lot of courage to admit that what you did was wrong but it will make things better, and slowly, you’ll feel okay too.

 

Sharing you words of wisdom from my super-duper great friend, and hope it’ll brighten your day. ♥

 

“good thing we have to recognize what we really really feel. kasi what you can feel you can heal. Maswerte ka kasi narerecognize mo agad yung bad feelings mo. pag you feel bad. you feel angry or fearful. yung iba dito hinde. binuburry nila yung emotions nila. nakakatakot yun. Nakakakaba. natutunan ko yan while staying here. you've got to confront those negative feelings. and be loving to them. inner child mo kasi yun eh. inner child mo na nakaramdam ng abandonment, neglect, fear ng bata ka pa."  -- Thina Salome.  (Visit her blog too! ♥)

A Military Wedding #JoyOfRye

A few moths ago, I have witnessed A Military Wedding, and it proved me that true love really exist despite the distance and could survive everything through faith, love and understanding even without communication for weeks or months. #JoyOfRye’s wedding makes me appreciate our soldiers even more especially their fiancé/spouses because they are so fearless for accepting and embracing all their loved ones has to go through just to give service for our country. A big Salute for our own Soldiers and their spouses! ♥♥

Stop and Count

One of my mantra in my everyday life is to always, ALWAAAYS, look at the positive side of everything. But I guess we all need to have a break from being too optimistic and feel sad at times, so we could learn to grow and know more about ourselves. In times of uneasiness like this, we tend to question the universe such as “Why does it has to be this way?” or “Why are they like that?” or “Where did I go wrong?”.. I think its perfectly fine to feel this way, because, it only shows that you are a human being capable of getting hurt. Just close your eyes, count 1 to ten, inhale love, then exhale hate. Im sure you’ll be fine after doing this :)

I don’t know if these post makes sense to you, but I just need to let this negativity out of my system. And so far, im already feeling better. Hihi. 

 Hoping for everyone to have a fun Friday night! ♥

xo,

Elai ;)

2015 Bucket list ❤

Rereading my 2014 bucket list makes me go “What was I thinking when I was writing this one?” haha, I know what I wrote is all impossible to achieve in just one year especially my Travel Bucket-list, and have crossed out just a few, but this year, I will make sure to do at least half of it. :P So I am rewriting it and adding new “achievable” things to do for this year. :)

 Since I’m turning 22 this year, I’ll just write down 22 things for my bucket list this year. ♥
