Time to Do my own Shedding

Ok - My Birthday is fast approaching and since my last one I have gained an astronomical 25 lbs - well maybe less but it feels like I've gained FIFTY!. A co-worker tells me about a secret method on how to do this and I will try to do that starting ASAP. So I will list the 3 things I will start tomorrow and see how this progresses in 2 WEEKS.
  1. NO MORE RICE
  2. DRINK WARM WATER AND A TABLESPOON OF HONEY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AND MORE WATER ALL DAY LONG
  3. EAT LIGHT DINNERS
that's how far this will go for now. Of course I want to say go to the gym but hey, that would seem like a giant leap. Let me try to stabilize my Diet first. I've gained and lost weight so many times in my life and before I can go on any extreme adventures - I need to be FIT! That's right! FIT - I know it's about the inside that counts - but this is not about superficiality - this is about - well , yeah My superficial self fitting into my not so superficial self. I want my heart to work soundly and my lungs to pump oxygen normally (SHIT! I guess kicking the smoking should be in that list, as well - that's a whole new project - i'll have to keep in the sidebar). So For NOW - Warm Water and Honey it is - will let you know how this quest goes. By the way - I decided to call the water/honey/one kalamansi concoction the ABETH Diet - So thank her if it works and kill her if it doesn't - better yet - take a bite at her!

nomADVENTUREr Bucket List DAVAO

I guess I decided to do a systematic way of getting my goals in check. I know an adventure is supposed to be a spontaneous thing but in a place where you can easily get lost in the middle of nowhere and has a gazillion different dialects ( I actually just know a little bit of 2 different ones), It is wise to have some sort of a plan - unless I want this adventure to be the LAST. So here are the things I would love to do in my nomADVENTURE DAVAO Series.

















  1. Scuba Diving / Snorkeling
  2. Adventure Nature Trails
  3. Climb Mount Apo and other mountains:
  4. Caving (bullet point - list caves to see)
  5. Party Cruise
  6. Kayaking
  7. Wind Surfing
  8. White Water Rafting
  9. Island Hopping
  10. Rappelling
  11. Sunset Tour
  12. Road Tripping
  13. Beach Bumming at as many possible beaches I can get to.
So PLEASE ( to the nth degree) If you could offer some sort of info or suggestion that can be of help for my quest - Kindly give me some hints. Thanks Y'all!

nomad seeks ADVENTURE


I am a self proclaimed NOMAD. I have not really settled in a place to call home, yet I find myself in my place of ORIGIN. I guess I call it origin only because I was conceived here but so far from knowing the actual place (which is really embarrasing). So here I am trying to venture into the "WILD" for knowledge, discovery and OH YES (let's not lie) FUN FILLED ADVENTURE!. I've traveled across the world looking for high impact, high adrenaline - ok exciting stuff to do but I am quite sure there is a different kind of FUN over here.

I think it is only obvious that I look for information in the web to know what to do, where to go, how to go about it and who to contact. Searching for answers, I see the beautiful pictures in various tourism websites, even government agencies but DAMN! my salivating eyes and heart thumping excitement is put to a halt - NOBODY TELLS ME HOW TO GET THERE!

- I can't call anyone, and there are no concrete answers as to how to go there! WHAT SHOULD I DO? Yes, I may look brown( and really proud for being one!) but I am just not going into some unfamiliar place and think I'll just find my merry way. So here it is.

I am determined to find answers, know the details of getting there - Go there , Have an Adventure of a lifetime and DOCUMENT it for everyone else to know - so they wouldn't have to go through what I am going through - at this very FRUSTRATING MOMENT! - AHHHHHHHHHHHH

So to everyone who has the ANSWERS - share or better yet - JOIN me in my Quest for ADVENTURES! Be a nomADVENTURER!
