Top 5 Craziest Things I Did on a Trip *2012*

Arvin (a friend): Carla, nagwo-work ka pa ba?

Carla: Oo naman, bakit?

Arvin: Kasi panay ang layas mo eh kala ko wala ka ng trabaho

I intended this space to be a personal one - my musings on anything and everything with me being a public school teacher (emphasis on the word public). Just a thinking-out-loud page. To kill boredom. And it just happened. Traveling took over me. 2012 has been a great year. Juggling my job, my graduate studies, my travels (and blog) and all other stuff that kept me busy. I am so blessed to have a schedule that permits me to spend long weekends, summer breaks and all the school breaks on traveling. A total of 61 posts and 106 followers for this year - maybe not that grand but it's a hella great year for me! And I am making a year-end post for the first time 'coz I am so guilty of reading other bloggers' year-end posts. So here's my first attempt in making one. Check out the top 5 craziest things I did on a trip. 

5. Braved the rocky trek without a guide on the way to Hydro falls in Baguio

with marx (I'm not a fan of trekking by the way) .

see how I detested trekking once again 

4. Rented a bike on the way to Puka beach in Boracay with J.

see how I almost give up on  biking

3. Finished 3 strong beers and loads of barbecue with love at 8 a.m.
on Dinagyang Festival with chyng, fhel, mec and ron.

see how we enjoyed Dinagyang Festival without spending the 1,000-peso entrance fee

2. Solo traveled for the first time in Marinduque.

my first ever solo trip
see how I survived 4 days without throwing tantrums on anyone

1. Cliff dived in Siquijor with J.

 see how cliff jumping changed me and my outlook in life - nah...

So there. That's me being crazy. Or me being myself I guess.
