I really have nothing much to say right now, I was planning to celebrate the 1st Blog Anniversary of Chasing Philippines with a 5-day-stay in Sagada; I was so excited! Itinerary-check!, reservations – check!, budget – check! Hmmm… however, some unfortunate events happened for the past few weeks. I just discovered that I have a severe case of TMJ (or Temporomandibular Joint Disorder), for reason I really do not know. It affected my spine; I had severe back pains, headache, neck & shoulder pain, I almost lost my hearing ability too.

Good thing, I am recovering now ( Thank you to the doctors, dentists and to my beloved piggy-bank). Weeheehooo!! I’m surviving! I am undergoing a therapy (which will last for 8 months); Yes, 8 months and that means that I cannot be pushy and do things that will require a lot of energy and effort. I cannot carry heavy stuff, I cannot run, I cannot trek, I cannot climb, in short I cannot do things that I love for the next couple of months! Waah! This is so not me!!! Hahaaist, but what can I do? Health and safety first before anything else. Not to mention, I am currently doing a minor TMJ exercise while I am writing this post. 🙂

I can say that 2010 had been a very great year for Chasing Philippines. Here are some of the unforgettable trips/memories last year:

I almost got bald when I had my newly-rebonded hair twisted the rappel in Camp John Hay’s Paintball Republic.
Buti nahila at bumukol lang yung anit ko. Thanks sa quick response ng staff, they cut the rope and dropped me off the ground.

I learned that Hundred Islands is not an exclusive park/resort. Call me stupid, but I really thought na may exclusive membership ang Hundred Islands at mayayaman lang ang nakakapunta dito.
