40 Before 40

It's almost 2am in London and I am now officially 38. While most women probably will not disclose their age on the worldwide web, I really don't mind. Age is just a number as they say. Age is basically what you make out of it. In fact, I am very proud to be in my late thirties. And if you look at the photo below, you will understand why. :)


Since I will be turning 40 in two years, I thought I would challenge myself so I made a list of 40 things that I want to do before my big 4-0. This is not a bucket list as such (or maybe it is). It's just  a list of things that I have always wanted to do but never got the chance to do. At the same time there are a few on my list that I just recently thought of doing. I know I may not be able to cross all of them off before then, but at least I can say that I have tried.

So, here is my list:

1. Learn how to swim
2. Learn how to drive
3. Experience Graduation in the UK 
5. Run in UP Diliman
6. Learn to Ski
7. See the Northern Lights in Iceland
8. Run a Marathon abroad
9. Write a book
10. Have my own Art Exhibition
11. Learn Martial Arts
12. Visit Cambodia and/or Vietnam
13. Learn another language
14. Go camping
15. Learn Fencing
16. Watch Kris TV live
17. Learn how to pole dance
18. Learn how to play the violin
19. Be a motivational speaker 
20. Be a Humanitarian Volunteer
21. Learn how to cook at least one main dish from 5 different countries 
22. Horse back riding
23. Watch Tour de France in Mont St Michel
24. Read at least 24 books
25. Road trip to Italy and see the sunflowers
26. Watch Sarah Geronimo and/or The Killers in concert
27. Watch The Championships in Wimbledon
28. Zip lining
29. Mud Run
30. Sailing
31. Climb a mountain
32. Visit Pooh corner
33. Find the best cheese roll in London or learn how to make it
34. Medical Mission
35. Watch an Opera
36. Cycle around London 
37. Stay in a Monastery 
38. Run in 5 major parks in London
39. Ask 5 "guys in light blue shirt" to give me 3 challenges each
40. Continue to inspire people and make my dreams come true.

I guess I am ready to take on the challenge.

2018, Thank You For The Roller Coaster Ride!

If I have not said it before, New Year is my favourite time of the year as it gives me the opportunity to reflect on the life that was and to look forward to the life that will be.  2018 was indeed a roller coaster ride of emotions, but I remain grateful because those emotions provided me with valuable lessons to be learned. I guess it is fair to say that 2018, you gave me false hopes at the beginning, but then you gave me the light in the end.  So, how did my 2018 go? Well, I documented my journey in my instagram account, so here are a few of my musings that best describe the year that was: 1. Because we have each other, it's good vibes only. - J and I had some minor health scare at the beginning of 2018. As minor as it was, it gave us emotional instability and some degree of physical challenge. I came to a point when I felt like I couldn't do anymore, however, I was reminded that J and I were in this together. The support that we had for each other during this chal

The Southern Clifftop Track and Whitireia Walkways in Porirua

The train ride to Porirua for our Whitireia Park walk completed my public transportation experience in Wellington, and I have my friend E to thank for that. It was indeed a very pleasant 20-minute journey from the city and very cheap as well (NZ$11.50 return). Not a bad choice for mode of transport to get in and out of the city in my opinion. From Porirua station, we took the bus (220) to Titahi Bay where we had lunch first before we commenced our walk. After that, we walked all the way to the end of the beach. Unfortunately,  t here was no exit from there so we had to go back up the hill to continue with our walk.  On our ascent to Stuart Park, we were rewarded with beautiful views. The track was paved with small rocks scattered in some areas and it was quite steep, so it took a little bit of an effort to climb up. This part of the walkway provided a good view of the Mana island though. We walked  all the way to the "Sewer Outfall", where we were greet

Afternoon Tea in London: My Experiences in 2022

Afternoon Tea has become a huge part of my life since 2006. It has been one of the things that's keeping me sane and happy, especially when life seems challenging and I need something to cheer me up. This is the reason why I didn't even realise that I may have actually overdone it last year. But I have no regrets because I enjoyed every single Afternoon Tea experience I had then, most especially because I shared those experiences with people who matter, old and new. In fact, I had some of the most memorable Afternoon Tea experiences last year, and I'm going to tell you why. 1. The Claridge's - Brook St. Afternoon Tea at The Claridge's was on top of my list last year and I am glad that I was able to share this experience with two wonderful friends, Damaris and Veronica. Perhaps I could say that this Afternoon Tea sealed our sisterhood. It's amazing because despite our huge age difference, we get on very well. And this is why this Afternoon Tea at The Claridge'
