    Lusno Falls: The Hidden Cebu Waterfall That Taught Me The Truth About Happiness

    There’s a version of this day that went exactly as planned. This wasn’t it. The original plan had all the right details. It felt safe, structured, and made sense on paper. But the Universe had other ideas. One message and everything shifted, quietly and suddenly, like most real things do. I could’ve stayed home and waited for another perfect day. Instead, I ventured toward Lusno Falls, a middle-of-nowhere waterfall I barely knew, with no concrete plan at all.

    Blue Soil Hills Wasn’t Instagram-Perfect, But It Was Unexpectedly Beautiful

    The photos made it look like a fantasy movie. The online reviews called it iconic. But when I finally got to Blue Soil Hills in Sagada, it just didn’t live up to the hype. Maybe it was the weather.  Perhaps it was the endless flocks of tourists, wearing down something that once felt untouched.  But most likely, it was just me.  I guess I’ve seen too much in recent years to be easily impressed.  I didn’t feel awe.  So, I just stood there, quietly, while tourists waited in line and struck poses around me.  I let the crowd move around me.  But ironically, I didn’t even feel disappointed.  As unremarkable…

    White Water Rafting In CDO: Why It’s The Most Epic Adventure You’ll Have This Year

    Do you believe in the power of a single, reckless decision? Most of my life, I played it safe, thinking it was the secret to a long, meaningful life. There were no risks, no surprises, and definitely no death-defying feats. Every day felt like a routine of safe decisions and small, steady steps. But one day, I realized I was stuck in an endless loop. I felt trapped in a life with no direction, growth, or fire. So I did something crazy and reckless. I said yes to chaos, adrenaline, and insanely fun adventures, like white water rafting in CDO. And somehow, that reckless decision turned out to be the…
