Have Endings

In recall...

I never thought of letting go when my most valued partner had to say bye-bye. It gave me a fair amount of wasted time until I accept that my first ever mp3-equipped mobile phone has reached its lifespan. We have shared so much memory together – the perfect reason to hold-on to something even in a replacing condition – same applies to life´s circumstances. Letting go is a painful predicament. Being possessive, I needed to undergo the long and agonizing process before partially accept the fact that nothing on Earth remains forever; except for change of course which is constant in nature. It is such difficult to understand that a beautiful day has only to last for 24 hours maximum while the wish to succeed remains forever...I thought.

Way back, when my employment term has ended at which I considered a dream job, I scrutinized myself why things wouldn´t go my way. Life has a harsh way in giving realizations in a genuine sense. A door has shut down never to realize that at the end of the line opens a new window of opportunity. Good thing I never stopped. Not until the moment where both your feet stand firm in a fair ground, understanding does not come easy.

I was inspired by the thought that “the ability to wait rewards the patient”. Sometimes pain caused by a broken heart shuts our open-mind to work smart. The tendency always directs us to one dimensional parameter which leads to blaming. While mechanisms have science to troubleshoot, and puzzles have formula to solve, life difficulties always offer a way out too. It is however not discovered by many because of unwisely getting stuck up into the situation. The will to work our way out can make or break the future ahead. Instead of holding back as prevention for another failure, kick off and reach the other end. Attempts to try offer the chance to succeed. Never cry over a spilled milk, blame no one for getting fired out of work, love yourself more and leave someone who makes you less as a person...You´ll never know how beautiful what lies ahead.

Let go, resurrect from heartache. Sometimes goodbye is a second chance – a chance to start anew free from misery. When hopeless, simply realize that even pain has endings too.

WALKING THE IGBARAS CIRCUIT FOR 3-DAYS + 1

By Gil delos Santos IGBARAS is a third class municipality in the South-western part of Iloilo province known to be one of the hiker's favorite destinations as they are blessed with waterfalls, caves, climbing rocks, beautiful mountain ridges which the popular Mount Napulak belongs to, and locals with notable genuine hospitality. We initiated the hike from Barangay Igcabugao which we had to pass through a community of mountain residents as we ascend to our first Mountain, Napulak. I had absorbed a good load of happy innocent vibe connecting to the children before starting the proper mountain journey. These kids have physically grown from the time I last saw them in my previous visits. At the same time, the reconnection naturally streamed down and effortlessly grown too. That's a good "pabaon" - their innocent smiles and timid but genuine thank you for the little present I have for them. Getting to Mount Napulak once again is a mix of happy and little concer...

Be free

Be free Self-betrayal is imprisoning ourself in the cells of envy believing that we are hell special to deserve the world's importance by seeking validation from recruited flying monkeys than be accountable to our misery brought by wrong decisions.  Be our own source of happiness. No one's responsible for it but ourselves. Give no scapegoats. No one is perfect but we can be perfect with intentions to let go and let be with no ssshht. Public proud appearances could  be a reverse happy projection by a sad inner self. Seeking validation is an abyss for an unreachable self discontent. Be truthful with our own truth and give no blame to others for our own missed target.  Rest restless souls. Don't let our silence speak misery. Hope we find peace in our quiet solace.

Local's Perspective on The Proposed Boracay Bridge

By: Gil delos Santos WHAT HOPE IS LEFT FOR BORACAY? Boracay is its people. Boracay is its community. Boracay is its natural treasures. It's dark how the future of sustainability and community for Boracay look like. Let's be part of the light for hope.  THEN As a kid born and raised in Manocmanoc, the Manocmanoc Beach was our everyday playground. Great memories! The sense of ownership that we have for our playgrounds gives us the privilege of entitlement that we feel it is our home. It was a pride each time to warmly welcome visitors to share our space with them. NOW We feel strangers to our old playgrounds. We cannot access them anymore 40 years later. We have not imagined that it wasn't owned by the community. The provincial government installed a cargo port in the Western side of Manocmanoc Beach preventing the natural sand movements and we lost the sandbar that is being formed every habagat season — which we used to call "Recudo". Recudo is gone forever!!  We a...
