This dream will come true, God willing!

There were times when I had felt that dreams are just that, dreams. They stay in your head, become vivid when asleep, and never become reality.

Now, I feel know that they can creep out and become real. I learned to just believe and keep pushing in the direction of your dream, with a lot of hope and pure faith in God. In a short span of time, one by one those dreams I had became real.

Now, I have one huge dream I want to become tangible. All I have is hope, faith, trust and someone who shares the same dream. I will push, hard. I will believe, completely. I will trust in His timing, absolutely. I will pray, everyday, that this dream will come true.

Gearing Up!

Yes, I need stuff! I need the gear if I want to pursue the life of a traveler. I didn't even own a bag for crying out loud. LOL. So, in a span of 1 month, I saved up and bought what I needed little by little. Here's my list of gear bought and need to buy. I didn't realize just how much stuff one needs till I wrote all down!

1. 40L backpack - DONE! Cheap Baclaran type with rain cover, but it will have to do for now - P1,100
2. 5 or 10L dry bag
3. Headlights - DONE! - P100
4. Flashlight/Tent light - DONE! - P130
5. Snorkeling gear - DONE! - P350 - cheap Divisoria kind
6. Dri-fit shirts and shorts
7. Compression pants, leg warmers or at least leggings
8. Waterproof bag for money and cellphone - DONE! Again the cheap Divisoria kind for P40. I want to get the more reliable ones for P150-P200
9. Trek sandals
10. Hiking shoes/Amphibious shoes

15. First Aid Kit - DONE! Mercury at P303
16. Another rashguard or swimsuit - since I lost weight, what I have are a wee bit too big - DONE! Sun Kissed P780 and MTO from IG P650
17. Water container -  DONE! P88 from that Japanese store in Robinson's Las Pinas
18. Rope (also required for the BMC I plan to attend to in April)

30. Cap - IKR, pati ba naman cap wala ako haha
31. Pillow! - DONE! P100 neck pillow (turned out to be my best friend in Jomalig!)

I'm pretty sure the list will grow, but I think I have most of what I need at the moment. :) P4,751 spent so far. Not bad considering how expensive gear can be. I know I will have to invest later on more sturdy items like a better bag or tent. This will get me by for now. :)

Till the next blog! Much love.
