In Facebook, a lot of friends has answered "100 truths about me" and tagged me so I can fill it out. It's a way of sharing details about yourself in a summarized form.
One truth about me is that I'm afraid of heights. I'm not sure if I can be categorized as altophobic. When I go to a theme park, I don't do Ferris Wheels but I rode on one roller coaster. I won't do it again, though. If you're in Cebu, you might have heard of Crown Regency's Edge Coaster. Everyone went gaga about it, tourists and natives alike. I was not one of them.
Let me share two experiences with overcoming my fear of heights.
My first out-of-the-country trip was to Kuala Lumpur last August. We went to Genting. If I were to describe the place, it was as cold as Baguio City (the coldest place in the Philippines that I've ever been to) and a big Enchanted Kingdom (famous theme park) city. First thing we did in Genting was ride their cable car. It is deemed as the South East Asia's longest cable car and maybe the world's fastest. At first, I had no idea the car would be suspended by a cable while it ran. Anyway, I rode it together with my bf and 2 friends. They were having fun taking photos. I was scared to death everytime I looked down. I thought I was gonna be sick, but my boyfriend helped me ease my fear. He held my hand and told me anything so I can forget I was 100-feet above the ground. Anyway, I survived but I won't do it again.
Earlier today, 6 of us went on a Bohol tour. It was jam-packed. We went to see the Blood Compact site, lit candles at the Baclayon Church, took pictures of the Chocolate hills, rode the all-terrain vehicle around the Choc hills, saw and touched the largest 23-meter python in the country (another fear of mine: snakes!) and went on the Loboc River Cruise. But one part of the tour that I wasn't very fond of, was the Hanging Bridge. I would never have treaded on it but again, Angelo, my bf held me and encouraged me on. Telling me that if we were to join the Amazing Race, it $1M would be our prize at the end. I was near tears when I realized I had to tread the bridge back to site where we started. But I finished the tread and I was happy I made it.
Probably other people would not be amazed that Angelo was there for me, helping me overcome my fear. But it still amazes me that he knows me, he knows how to work his magic with me. He wasn't the least impatient with me the whole time. If I were in his place, I would give up and leave. Haha. Might be too harsh, but I'm sure there would've been a fight. Well, I guess I'm just blessed he really loves me.
