Face your Fear: Take the challenge of Canyoneering in Cebu
The greatest way to escape a dull life is to be fearless and begin the adventure of vitality, but what it scares the most is the challenge that never been faced. Fear, of course, is an experience-crushing and life-dawning, but one thing never let my fears overruled me is because I choose not to be…(giggle) well, just kidding. Yes, I’m an outdoor person, yet I’m still in the process of conquering my acrophobia. Nonetheless, given the chance to face the country’s best adrenaline booster of all time, known as Canyoneering, is one of the best fear-killer I’d ever tried.
What is this all about? How it made me feel so much awesomeness?
Well, when Cebu worldly opened this exciting and thrilling life adventure with unique secure of the environment, people around the world scream to experience an awesomeness escapade. I wished to try too, however, it took me a hundred times to convince my friends for this thrill but then, nobody agreed with me. “So if you wait.. it will come in a right time.” until such an invitation knocked on my door… and without a second thought… a big “YES” came out from my mouth.
The breathing scenery, cold-refreshing water, sweet-nature hopping, fascinating rock formations and experience adrenaline-booster trekking. Those are just a few meanings of what Cebu’s Canyoning experience brought me when I tried it with my colleagues (namely: Ram, Lotes, Hewish, Brandy, Salma, Miggy and Josh). And also, one thing would lead this activity more awesome is with people who encourage you to move forward and jump up to the next level of canyoning challenges. Be excited for 70ft jump, a death-defying activity. (ehehe) It made me think about Taylor Swift words, “Being fearless isn’t being 100% not fearful, it’s being terrified but you jump anyway.”
