PROJECT HEART UPDATE 1 & 2

I'm using my tumblr account for the blow by blow update, here's the congested one :)

PROJECT HEART UPDATE #1

Yes, yes… everyday I’m getting more excited with my first backpacking trip ^^ - and when i say backpacking I will just explore explore explore beautiful places. For this trip„ I’ll be by myself.. you know some soul searching wanna be on the house!

5 days… I will make the best out of my stay at the center of the Philippines, that lil heart shape island you see above.

I got my map, the most decent I can get for the meantime. I just wanna get hold and stare at the island, makes me feel big to conquer it. hahaha

I’ll be away from Nov. 22 to 26, 2010. As early as now I’m already ecstatic in preparing with the help of few folks of mine - dongsaeng Thea, My mom and her connections in Marinduque, the many travelblogs on the net especially this one. They usually say be prepared but I wanna surprise myself too when I get to the island.

Im now into my xls file of costing, to dos,itinerary etc., so much for a first timer ayt? hihihihih more updates to come!

PROJECT HEART UPDATE # 2

Yez! Im on my way :D got my plane ticket already with the help of dongsaeng Thea. It’s a one way ticket my friends- I’m gonna take the RORO( Roll on/roll off) back to Manila on the 26th ^^
a note I received from God -In this world, you’re not a tourist. You’re a pilgrim. The difference is as wide as the Pacific Ocean. Tourists search for fun. Pilgrims search for me.

I'll fly away ^^

In my quest as a freelancer and an entrepreneur which will officially starts this November (meaning i'll no longer have my day J.O.B yibaa!), I would like to spend some time ala lonelyplanet/ retreat in a far away land, somewhere I have never been to! Well, I would love to go to Boracay or Palawan but Ive been to these places already ( would love to go back or live there if given the chance though- it's a haven baby!) 

Going back, I need to decide because I also wanted to go to HongKong,Macau, Camiguin, Bohol, Marinduque or Batanes ( and some other 40+ countries and all the beautiful places in the Philippines) My donsgaeng Thea told me an idea from her friend : "write the names of the places you want to go to, lagay mo sa fishbowl or any bowl tapos pick one to know where you're meant to go! ;) magic! haha!"I am not a fan of pure luck but I guess there's nothing wrong to try this idea. Tada...I will be exploring.. MARINDUQUE!

I fell in love with Greece ( the pictures, videos and stories) but since my pocket can't afford a trip to Santorini yet, Bellaroca in Marinduque is an option for now to visit ( just a disclaimer,I'm not staying at this resort though, it will definitely put holes on my pocket.. hahaha). I just started searching the net for places to go to in this city, some said it is a more affordable version of Boracay and Palawan, white beaches is a check too! Recently it was even featured on CNN as one of the next gen tourist spots ( click here for the article) I will probably be staying in Boac! I'll be updating this blog soon for this packing trip!oh do i have a date? yes.. Nov.23-26,2010. yeah baby!

Isn't;it a wonder? Marinduque is a heart-shaped island and is also the center of the Philippines. God intended me to visit the place and appreciate it's unspoiled flora and fauna, perhaps my journey to the center of my heart ( yun naman!)

I'll fly away ^^

I'll be updating this blog soon for this packing trip! oh do i have a date? yes.. Nov.23-26,2010  November 22-26, 2010. *yeah baby!* <- No flight schedule on Tuesdays so I need to move my departure on an earlier date, har har har - that's an advantage!
