TRAVELOGUE: Once again with El Kabayo Falls























(Oh-la-la! Ola my sexy sister!)

I admit that I got tons of draft post and forgot to publish it last year. I've been in an awesome adventure last 2014 with family and friends. And this post was the continuation or part 2 of my El Kabayo Falls.

ONCE AGAIN, I'm back in this hidden falls of El Kabayo. I've already posted about this falls and since my cousins visited us, we were triggered to take a dip in this place again.

On this adventure, I succeeded on jumping on that high cliff as you can see on the photo. YES! I jump that cliff. It takes 15-30 minutes for me to pray, doubting if I will really going to jump. And ended up jumping once and never tried again. The reason why I'm scared on jumping that cliff is that there's a boulder at the side of the falls. We need to jump far so we won't hit and kill ourselves.

Sitting on that edge of the water is fantastic. A little bit slippery, but refreshing since the water is cool. Thanks to my ADIDAS dryfit I can swim comfortably. Last time, I only wear shorts and corset type but this time I decided to wear something to cover me up.

I do enjoy nature and adventures. Hope on my next adventure I'll try surfing! I really want to surf and do some water sports. See you again !

"Most people are paralyzed by fear. Overcome it and you take charge of your life and your world."- Mark Victor Hansen

My fear pulls me down. It hinders me to do what I want and what I need to. My fear always block my path. My fear paralyzed me. I'm still coping my fears on my past experience. Little by little, I overcome this hindrance and made something better from me. Me, overcoming this fear made me stronger. I found freedom and courage to control my own world.

This year I'm turning 21 years of age. Those 2 decades were a crazy ride for me. Too many turns and stops but I realized I still remain the same old me.
Why don't I step out on another part of my box? It's time to be more powerful, more creative, and wise to everything I'm going to do.
This isn't teenage life anymore. This is the start of the real world.

This is a Bonus shots from the photographer. He enjoy the shoot and ask me if I can still pose in my basic outfit. Well, I don't want to people see that I'm portraying luscious image on this post, but I want them to see an independent, strong, happy woman I am now.

WHAT I WEAR:

Distress Denim Pants
White Tank Top
Black Boots: Call It Spring

Nothing beats an good old denim and a plain top. An old high-waist jeans (mom's jeans actually) turned into distressed pants. Yes, I do the distress part and I enjoyed redesigning some old clothes.
Basic clothes are always the best choice for comfortableness. Are you inlove with basics too?

Travel Must-Haves!

Christmas is done, only a few hours we'll be welcoming new year.
As we all know that this is also the time where we gather with our relatives. Some go back to their hometown, or go to a vacation. Since its also a time where lots of people are traveling, terminals and transportation are way too crowded. 



If you'll travel, here are some of tips and guide on your tour:


1. TRAVEL BUDDY




Isn't it fun to travel with someone accompanying you? Some may be comfortable alone but for me, I enjoy travelling with a huge company. The more the merrier.
Travel with the people you're comfortable and with the same interest. And people where you can share new found places, memories, and laughter.

2. LOCATE LOCATION



Where to go? What place suits the best for this occasion? Before going out on a trip, make sure you know where you really want to go. Make a list on the spots you want to visit. Most important thing is to place a reservation on the hotel you'll be staying. Check in on a hotel where near the tourist spots. Try also searching for restaurants, or cafes, you want to try. It's hard to go to a place without even having a background or knowledge about it. It's better if you've searched for that place so you'll be familiarized with it. And by listing where to go will reduce some time being waste.


3. HASSLE-FREE TRANSPORTATION




Traveling must be easy if their's no hassle in transportation. Some might find it easy when travelling with their own vehicle, some use the public transportation. When you'll have your own vehicle, be sure to know the route. Prepare a map or GPS to help you find the right way easily.
If you'll be travelling with public transportation, make sure to know the time of departure and buy a ticket early as possible. Be alert in your surroundings too so you know that you'll be safe especially with your baggage. Ensure the important things in your hand carry bag.

As you land to the airport or your destination, It is hard to travel on public transportation. I might share some suggestion so your travel would be easy. Why not try renting a car? RelayRides can offer you an affordable car to rent.

RelayRides is a peer-to-peer car rentals and car sharing marketplace. It allows private car-owners to rent out their vehicles via an online interface. Car owners can set their own prices, and the company takes 25%. Enjoy better selection and lower prices by renting from a local.

Heard about airport parkings and airport rentals? 
RelayRides have a growing airport rentals to help people both make and save money while traveling.
Many are not aware of the growing sharing economy that is around us and how it is helping to revolutionize travel.  If you're interested check on their site: RelayRides

 4. WHAT TO BRING?


Isn't it stressful to bring loads of things while travelling? YES. If I were you, I will only bring things I really needed on my trip.

a. Money- you can't go without this. This is the most important thing of all.
b. PASSPORT (if going out of the country)

c. IDs (just in case of needed 'cause we never know.)

d. MAPS
Map is indeed important. It is a huge help especially when you're new to the place. You might get lost, but you've got a map and just check where you are. Always remember where you're staying and the place where you are going.



d. CAMERA:
Capturing the best memories on this trip is worth it. You need to take shots of this one time event in your life. Since I love taking pictures, I never forget to bring my cammy. We keep memories together.



c. CLOTHES
Makes sure to bring clothes that will suits the event or tour you'll be going. Wear comfy clothes and light weight materials. Make sure to prepare what outfit you'll be wearing on the days you'll be travelling. Bring some extra clothes too.

STYLE BOARD:

TANK TOPS, SHIRTS, SHORTS







MAXI SKIRTS/ DRESSES, DRESS





SHOES





These are some of the tips I can share. Wear anything as long as you are comfortable with it. But at the end,the most important things when travelling is to enjoy every single moment of it.
