I did it!! I finally did it!
The whole family had the grandest time in Tuburan Mountain View resort. We had time for relaxation, bonding with the family, and binging on delicious food. We also had the best kind of adventure!
The whole family did the zip line. Yes, including my grandfather’s brother (who I think is the oldest in the group who’s still safe to go). His nephews — my uncles, were like :
“OK. We go if YOU go.”
Challenge Accepted!
And here’s everyone else.
And then this happened:
I could hear my heart pounding in my chest while I was being harnessed. They all assured me that it’s safe and the whole thing can carry XX tonnes. Of course I did not understand whatever assurance they were saying because I was busy telling my sister that she has to take care of my baby if something happens to me.
Yeah, I’m a drama queen!!
I reached the other end of the zip line. By this time I was convinced that nothing is going happen, that its totally safe. I looked forward to the trip back. Until I realized I had to trek uphill to get to the other zip line point. Ugh!!
But anyway, I made it. In one piece. With a happy heart.
I believe in doing things at least once in your life, no matter how scary or how ridiculous. Never mind the thunder thighs and the teasing … I lived to tell this story and this will be one of my favorites!

Tuburan Mountain View Resort
Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!
I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.
Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.
