Priorities.

A lot has changed, and so is your priorities.

“ikaw lang makakabago nyan. kung tatanggapin mong walang mangyayari, wala talagang mangyayari. di ka gagalaw e. di ka gagawa. pero kung gagawan mo ng paraan, may mababago ka.”

Good Morning.

Birds chirping. Wind’s carrying chill from my window. It’s a good thing the rain stopped pouring.

Let’s have breakfast then.

Pain.

Sometimes I wonder if it would be ever possible to go back in time and rewrite history. As much as I would like to say I wouldn’t want to do it, there’s just too much that had happened which caused me so much pain I wished I could just forget how to feel anything.

But as I said when I was in that moment, everything will soon pass. There’s this question I always ask myself whenever I feel I’m on the verge of breaking down and it seems helpful because it’s a known fact especially from my standpoint now.

“Will this matter after (insert a certain period of time here)?”

At that instant, you might answer that it will and it would still hurt but do believe me, it wouldn't. Pain is something that the mind and body concocts to defend us from serious injury. It is like an alarm system built into us.

So what do we have to do then whenever we feel pain? Just like the pain that love causes us, we need to cope with it. Learn to accept facts and let things go. If pain is the result of the connivance of the mind and body, then we should start dealing with our mind first to remedy or even prevent pain.

Mind over matter. I usually say afterwards, “if you wouldn't mind then it wouldn't matter” which is generally true. Shrug that off, and as long as you don’t put deep thought into it, it will just pass through your consciousness and you could still go on with your life.

That is combating the bad side of pain.

On the other hand, pain caused me to write all of these and made me the person I am now. So I guess, it would be okay to feel pain after all, but it’s generally good to know how to remedy it if you would happen to need it, right?

Anyone still up?

Don’t compete with your past but rather expect great things from your future and love your present self.

13 Beaches Near MANILA (And How to Get There)

San Antonio, Zambales

Beaches: Nagsasa Cove, Silanguin Cove, Anawangin Cove, Talisayin Cove. Their coasts are blanketed with volcanic ash straight from the guts of Mt. Pinatubo. It’s a Baguio-meets-Boracay world out there; thanks to the agoho trees rising from the ashes (literally).

Don’t miss: Fishing! The waters of San Antonio are rich. If you have the skill and the patience (or you just want to give it a try), ask your boatman about fishing tours.

How to get there: Travel by bus to Iba or Sta. Cruz, Zambales and get off at San Antonio Public Market (P250-P270). Take a tricycle to Pundaquit (P30). From here, boat tours cost P1000 for Anawangin, P1500 for Nagsasa, and P2000 for Silanguin. Add P500 if you want to make a stop at Capones and Camara Islands.

Tour package? Contact Harry Balais of 7107 Islands Tours at +639176274945.

Calatagan, Batangas

Beaches: Cape Santiago Beach, Burot Beach

Don’t miss: Cape Santiago Lighthouse. Built in 1890, it is one of the oldest lighthouses in the Philippines that continue to function. The construction began on December 15, 1890, led by Engineer Magin Pers y Pers, and was completed by Guillermo Brockman.

How to get there: At EDSA-Taft, there are vans and buses that carry passengers straight to Calatagan (P200). From the town center, take a tricycle to the lighthouse (P150-P200).

Malabrigo, Lobo, Batangas

Beaches: Malabrigo Point. No white sand here, either, but its beaches are strewn with smooth medium-size pebbles.

Don’t miss: Submarine Garden, where the water is so crystal clear, you can see live corals and other life forms even without goggles. Also, the Malabrigo Lighthouse can be easily accessed from Malabrigo!

How to get there: Board the bus to Batangas City and alight at Balagtas or Diversion (P150-180). From here, ride a jeepney or tricycle to SM Batangas and get off at the Batangas-Lobo terminal. Board a jeepney to Lobo (P53), then a tricycle to Malabrigo (P100).

Nasugbu-Lian, Batangas

Beaches: The sand at Bamboo Beach and Tali Beach in mainland Nasugbu isn’t sparkling white (not white at all), but it doesn’t make it any less relaxing. It is also home to Olive Ridley turtles that visit to nest each year.

Don’t miss: Fortune Island, a short boat ride away. It is surrounded by shipwreck diving sites including the Dutch warship Mauritius, which sank on December 14, 1600. Also, the Greek-style ruins are perfect beach selfie setting. (We got you at selfie, yes?)

How to get there: From EDSA-Taft, take the BLTB bus to Nasugbu (P155-170). All the beaches are accessible by jeepney or tricycle. If going to Matabungkay, take the bus or van to Calatagan and tell the conductor to drop you off at the junction to Matabungkay.

Laiya, San Juan, Batangas

Beaches: Laiya Aplaya, laced with White sand spread over a long stretch!

Don’t miss: Batangueno dishes. You’re in Batangas, dig in to a bowl of sticky lomi and sinaing na tulingan!

How to get there: Take the bus to Lipa City and get off at the bus terminal. Ride a jeepney bound for San Juan, and when you reach the town market, take another jeepney to Laiya.
