 It's been a long time since I posted here. A lot of things have changed. The world has become crazy. I lost a number of people in a span of two years, some of them died because of COVID, some were killed and others choose to free themselves by their own choice. I didn't talk about these to my friends because one, I don't have a close relationship with them, two, I also don't see the point of talking about it with my friends, it could trigger their trauma and I don't want that. 

Anyway, this blog is not about the physical death but rather a mental/emotional one. I am writing this post to mark the death of my dream. I have prayed, waited, and fought for it for two years. I have done my part and I did my best. I guess I am not meant to dream. It was so foolish of me to think that I was meant to be a public school teacher. I am such a fool thinking that I prepared myself to become one. I am such a fool for wasting other opportunities because I believed on this dream. And now, I have wasted two years. Two years of hoping, praying, believing and dreaming.

Today, I have decided to let it go. 

No, I won't try again. 

Yes, I'm a quitter.   

There are times that we just have to accept the fact that dreams don't come true. 

There are times that we just have to stop. 

Sorry if I'm posting a negative one after two years of hiatus.

LAPYAHAN FESTIVAL QUEEN 2016

San Remigio is known to have the longest shoreline in Cebu province, which is highlighted in their annual festival, the "Lapyahan festival". Lapyahan is a cebuano word for shoreline. The festival is celebrated every 16th of May and in honor of their patron saint San Juan Nepumoceno. The dance steps in the festival show things related to the sea: balud which means waves, kinhas which means gleaning for seashells during low tide, langoy which is swimming, hoyohoy which refers to sea breeze, and pasalamat which is to give thanksgiving to heavens for the bounty of the sea. And in every festival one of the most awaited and exciting moment is the crowning of the next festival queen.  I am proud to present to you my dear friend and the newly crowned  LAPYAHAN FESTIVAL QUEEN 2016!

Day | 01 I was so bored at home and I feel stuck because I haven’t done anything productive in the past few days then suddenly when I was about to go to sleep this idea popped out and I decided to search about it. I wanted to write but I can’t get any inspiration and I can't think of anything but I guess the biggest reason why I couldn’t get anything done it’s because I’m LAZY or in Tagalog TAMAD! Ako'y isang dakilang TAMAD!!!  Have you ever been in a situation wherein at first you're so determined to do something but then when you are right in the middle of it you got tired and lost interest into it? It always happen to me. Now, with this challenge I wanted to prove to myself that I can do this called "30 day blog challenge". For the first day, I have to write the basic things about myself. I'm Ma. Gladys Alterado, my friends call me Glads or Gladys. March 27 is my birthday. I'm 25 years old.  Currently living in Talisay City, Cebu. ...

Canyoneering at Badian

If you are like me, a person who likes to try different adventures but is also afraid of heights then I can say, canyoneering is a very fulfilling, satisfying adventure for you! There are many adventures that Cebu can offer to tourists and even to the locals, recently, we just tried the popular Canyoneering at Badian. Actually, the adventure starts at Alegria and ends at Kawasan, Badian. There are two types of canyoneering, the upstream and the downstream. For beginners, downstream is recommended. The adventure takes about 3 - 4 hours. We met our tour guide at Matutinao church or the entrance of Kawasan falls. After, we prepared our things and ourselves, we are now ready for action. Off to Kuya Albert's House Safety Gears Ready for action!
