Achievements

When I was still in elementary one of my favorite subjects is HEKASI (Heograpiya, Kasaysayan, and Sibika) maybe because I enjoy knowing and learning about beautiful places in the Philippines. There is so much to see in the country but I still have no money to visit these places, so I promised myself that someday I will be able to go here.

So when I reach College, I open a savings account and start saving my allowances so I have money to spend on vacation. Little by little I was able to explore our country and when I graduated from college, that was the start of my travel adventure via plane.

I cannot consider myself a certified traveler but I’m still proud of myself because slowly I’m achieving my dream and for someone who is not rich, this is really an achievement. I want to be rich with knowledge, experience, and memories, things that I know I can treasure forever and no one could take it away from me.

This is my list when I was a kid. 

1. Calle Crisologo
2. Lapu-Lapu Shrine and Magellan’s Cross
3. Mayon Volcano
4. Chocolate Hills and Tarsiers
5. Ma. Cristina Falls
6. Rice Terraces
7. Underground River
8. Pagsanjan Falls
9. Philippine Eagle
10. Corregidor

Being a full-time mom doesn’t stop me from finishing my list because there’s always a way and God always provides, I could attest to that because I’ve been in Lapu-Lapu Shrine, Magellan’s Cross, Chocolate Hills, Underground River, Corregidor and I’ve seen Tarsiers and Philippine Eagle using my own money. (except for Underground River – sponsored by my mom) Four more places to go because next month I will set foot in Calle Crisologo.

  4. The only reason I wanted to go to Chocolate hills where I was a kid was because I thought they were made from chocolate :)
