How To Rock Mermaid Swimming In The Philippines

1. SET YOUR MERMAID SOUL FREE

You are one beautiful Mermaid, but first you gotta believe that yourself.

It might be unusual for others, and at first you might be tagged as weird but hey, what can be more amazing than actually living your own childhood dreams? Mermaids come in all shape and sizes, so don't let society's standard of beauty define what you can be.  Whether you're on the skinny side or a plus size, you have zits/freckles or have a porcelain skin, sun-kissed skintone or fair as milk, YOU CAN BE A MERMAID.

2. BE INSPIRED

We all get inspiration somewhere and that helps to drive us aspire and be something better. YouTube has tons of videos you can binge-watch to keep your creative Mermaid juices flowing. Try to look up Hannah Fraser, Mermaid Melissa, and Mermaid Kariel and get ready to be amazed! You can also get tail, make up and pose inspirations online.

3. CREATE YOUR MERMAID PERSONA

Superheroes have alter-egos so why can't you? You can definitely adapt a Mersona to which you can pattern your Mermaid top, tail, posing and swimming style. It could be something that reflects your personality, your complete opposite, or just any character that you can think of.The possibilities are endless, you can even have a different Mersona for different occasions and tails.

4. MEET OTHER REAL-LIFE MERMAIDS

Think how wonderful it would be to meet like-minded individuals whom you can explore and experience your Mermaid dreams with, without any judgement. At first it might feel that you're the lone Mermaid in town, but if you look around enough you might find a whole community of Mermaids and Mermen who just like you  are crazy about Mermaids!

Plus, your safety is always a priority so swimming with a buddy should also be on top of your list. Finding your tribe could also mean having reliable consistent swimming partners whenever you feel like dipping in the water.

Dont'cha worry! Here at Experience Philippines we gotchu fam!

Check out our Mermaid Swimming Class this Summer. Check out the SIGN UP FORM below.

6. GROW YOUR OWN TAIL

Having your own tail means you can transform anytime and anywhere you feel like it. Growing your tail is actually easier than it sounds. There are affordable basic monofins you can order online via Shoppee or Lazada. Then you can ask your neighborhood tailor to stitch you up some Mermaid skin, just make sure you use a swimmable fabric like lycra/spandex or neoprene. With your added creativity you can even give your tail a more fintastic look and draw scales on it using fabric paint.

7. FIND YOUR MERMAID DEN

Swimming with a tail on is not an easy feat, but as they say, practice makes perfect yet no one is perfect, so why practice? Kidding aside, as a Mermaid you have the ability to make Mermaid Swimming look easy and beautiful despite being constrained with limited movements. The only way for you to achieve this, is continuous practice. So, find an accessible pool where you are comfortable with the depth and never forget to have someone look after you whenever you take your tail for a spin. You can also have someone take videos of you, so you can check which areas you need to work on. Once you're really comfortable, then you can start exploring our oceans. Just make sure to follow proper marine life interaction etiquette. You have 7,146 islands to explore, you'll never run out of places to Mermaid. 

8. BE AN OCEAN AMBASSADOR

We only have one ocean home and without the Ocean there also won't be Mermaids. So, let's take care of our habitat and do our part in protecting it, even in our own little ways. Skip the straws, bring your own eco-bags when shopping, always bring your metal spoon and fork and use them for take outs, participate in clean up drives, and attending marine conservation seminars are just a few of the things you can do. You can also reach out to organizations who initiate bigger scale projects and get involved. Spread what you know, encourage others and use your tail to share your advocacy.

How To Be An Ocean Ambassador?

The Marine Life Camp Experience: A Not Your Ordinary Weekend Dagat Experience

We are so lucky to live in a country that has very rich marine biodiversity. But despite the beauty and the benefit we get, we are failing to protect what is left. The Marine Life Camp is not your ordinary weekend travel getaway. This event will unleash your inner environmentalist as we teach you things about the oceans and how you can help be an Ocean Ambassador." - Glen Mariano, the Pisces Project

The Cause of Destruction: Plastic

Did you know that over the last 50 years, the flesh-footed shearwater population has dropped by 30%. Plastic is a major cause of their decline. And the Philippines is no exemption in the growing ocean crisis in the world. The marine food that we eat now already contains plastic fragments. And if we continue these ongoing plastic practices, what is in store for the future generation?

This tiny estuary seahorse ‘almost hopped’ from one bit of bouncing natural debris to the next, bobbing around on a reef near Sumbawa Island, Indonesia. As a brisk surface wind picked up, the seahorse took advantage of something that offered a stable raft: a waterlogged plastic cotton bud.

Let's Talk About Dagat

Marine Life Camp is a pioneer project of The Pisces Project that promotes biodiversity awareness through educational traveling. This camp aims to increase awareness of the participants on the importance of marine biodiversity and explore underwater life through snorkeling with proper marine life interaction.

Be An Ocean Ambassador

Through our combined effort, we can make a difference in protecting and conserving the marine life of the Philippines waters. Every little thing counts from practicing plastic-free living to upcycling materials to participating in events that help promote, protect and converse our natural resources.

By joining the Marine Life Camp you will have the opportunity to collaborate with other like-minded individuals who will be your co-ambassadors.

A Cure To Heartbreaks, Life Crisis and Who Just Wants To Give Up

My Name Is Iara

Hi! Adjusting myself on the front row seat of van 3, looking over the unfamiliar faces behind me.

Hi! Echoed everyone in the van.

My name is Iara. Enunciating my name ever so clearly (a-ya-ra)

But you can call me Ya! for short.

Hi Ya! Just like in a mutual aid fellowship, we greeted each other in harmony showing support, half expecting my answer to the question would break the ice even more.

My favorite body part is………

Suddenly, our once cold stares became warm smiles over shared intimacy.

This Is Where It All Started

That is where it all started before I get to the part how I ended up on this trip, before I fell for someone during our #ExperiencePhilippinesLunaSea4TheReunion #MajorSepanx1Weeksary, and before I volunteered to write this, there we were inside of Van #3 drinking ourselves into oblivion to pass the time. 😊

How we introduced ourselves, "My favorite part of the body is.."

The party began inside the van.

And I Packed Up and Left Home..And I Was Lost

I was very excited to end 2017, I promised myself a successful year ahead. As a goal-oriented person, I even asked my boyfriend then to buy me a workbook for self-discovery, exploration, and fulfillment. I have already prepared for half of the year. (Ganun ako ka-excited mamsh kung alam mo lang.) But come January 2018, my boyfriend then and I broke up, I got into a fight with my mother, and the inevitable happened I packed my things and left home.

Every plan I made wallowed in that workbook, stashed somewhere in the room where I felt so trapped. Every bottled-up emotions boiled over and I just couldn’t stand it anymore. I had to be away. Where I went, nobody knows… (Cheret! Alam naman ng family ko saan ako lumipat.)

God, I was lost. Sabi ko sa sarili ko ano na bes February na… March na…

The first quarter of 2018 went by fast, my plans nowhere near actualized. Come April 2018, I resigned to the situation that I will be celebrating my birthday away from my family, might as well travel and experience diba. But where? how? why is Gamora? CHERET!

Lucky me, I have a very close friend who loves to travel. Since I am not accustomed to traveling alone, let alone organize a DIY trip, she recommended Experience Philippines. I immediately visited their website experience.ph and made a quick scroll of the activities they offer. Mind you it was overwhelming, intimidating even. I remember asking myself Can I really do this? Can I travel alone? (in Tagalog nga lang syempre).

Without asking my very close friend, she volunteered to go with me to my 1st ever experience: Skin Dive in partnership with SkinDivePH. Skin dive experience can’t be explained, it must be experienced kaya guys book na kayo. They have the best and most accommodating skin dive instructors.

I Settled For Luna Sea 4

Days after skin dive, I was still in post-vacation high and I wanted to keep it that way as long as I can. And so, during breaks I eyed random trips I think I can afford with as much the same enthusiasm I have at online shopping websites. Taking into consideration my circumstance, I settled for Luna Sea 4 and what better way to experience this full moon party than with my brothers and closest friends. Let’s just say, we did not just experience the Philippines, Experience Philippines experienced us. Best people I could ever hope for to be stranded in the open sea and in a beautiful remote island of Burias, Masbate.

You Will Find Friends To Last You For A Lifetime

Vacation hangover is legit! I swear I was not able to do any real work for a week. Word of advice, ngayon palang juskolord aralin niyo na how to combat vacation hangover. I spent office hours fully absorbed in the Luna Sea 4 group chat, which I swear was burning thru a lot of topics at may pa cringe-worthy visuals pa, determined to uncover the juicy, scandalous and exciting happenings that night. There was way too much enthusiasm in that group chat that we had to schedule our reunion in only less than a week from our last trip together.

That was when I fell for someone, like literally po on my knees. I could barely make out the faces and hands that were helping me to get up because I was laughing so hard. That fall corresponded to what I was experiencing.

I’ve realized that in this crazy road of life, we are always going to fall down that’s why it is important to have friends to get us back up on our feet. Fortunately, in Experience Philippines you’ll find enough friends to last you a lifetime of downfalls.

After Reading This Promise Yourself

I volunteered to submit a write-up to Experience Philippines because I wanted to reach out to those who are experiencing a life crisis, going through a heartbreak, fed up with their daily routines and to those who are afraid to travel. After reading this piece, promise yourself this:

“Today I will accept that life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful, today I will love myself unconditionally first before I learn to love others again, today I will give up on who I’ve been for who I will become, today I am travelling for that part of me that was once afraid to travel.” - Anonymous

How To Let Go and Embrace Unpredictability

This is a guest post from one of Road Tripper, Loreen Buenavista, from Random Road Trip #44 at Carabao Island. Loreen works as an accounting specialist at one of the well know Accounting Firms in the country.  She is an introvert. But she loves the outdoors. And if she is not busy at work, you'd probably see her reading a book at Coffee Project or surfing in Mati, Davao. A few things that interest her would be - music, books, philosophy, and coffee.

How joining a Random Road Trip gave me the courage to embrace spontaneity, the unpredictable, and the unknown.- Loreen, 2018

I Want To Run Away

Have you ever experienced life disappointing you that you came to a point of wanting to run away far, leave everything behind, and pray never to return?

Or have you ever felt tired and fed up of routine, of waking up to days forcing yourself to face everyday battles of deadlines and responsibilities? Have you ever felt suffocated by the small space that you move about in your tiny apartment, or in your everyday commute in the cramped light rail or bus, and in the overwhelming crowd in this urban jungle we call the city?

Have you ever felt that every day is the same, and have you ever thought: if the meaning of life is to find your own purpose and destiny, then you would have dropped everything to go on a journey in search for the answer to this life‘s biggest question?

Yes, you miss the moment of bliss, of carefree days, where time runs slow and there is no worry in your mind, because by the sea, or in the mountains, there is only you and a journey. No deadlines, no boss to call you, no colleagues asking favors, no parents and relatives throwing you hard questions: “Kelan ka mag reresign? Bakit single ka pa? Ano’ng balak mo sa buhay mo? ” (When are you going to resign from your job? Why are you still single? What do you intend to do with your life?)

When You Secretly Feel Envious of People In Social Media

Yes, you wish you have answers to life’s toughest questions. But more often than not, you just couldn’t find the right answer.

And yes, you crave for a break in the routine, to experience something out of ordinary, and you may be secretly envious of people you see in social media living their lives how you want yours to be: these are people who can drop everything (school, work, and even family) to chase after what they want and travel the world. But it’s them, they have more freedom, have more resources, and are more courageous than you are … because while they may have the liberty to drop everything, you have people and things that hold you back.

Regardless of your situation, you may have felt the need to be spontaneous and run away on a trip elsewhere, for a break, for a breather, for a change. Because experience is what travel brings, a sojourn and a prelude to something grand that allows us to reflect, to move about and move on, to think things through and discover ourselves at a greater plane, learn about different cultures, and get to know the people whom we travel with. We crave for movement and adventure because as humans, we are not supposed to be stuck in one place, doing the same thing over and over again.

What Is My Story?

So let me tell you my story. Let me tell you how joining a Random Road Trip gave me the courage to let go of excuses and my limiting beliefs; to embrace spontaneity, the unpredictable, and the unknown.

I used to be someone who preferred familiar over new, routine over unpredictability and planned over spontaneity. Although sometimes I’d like to take breaks and travel, I was lazy and the type to give excuses not to: I must admit, I’d need an external motivation for the rare chances of grabbing my bag and passport to go elsewhere.

I liked to spend my weekends in the comfort of home and in the warmth of coffee over a meaningful conversation, rolling out of bed and wake up to a pair of eyes that I can say to myself, “I’m home”. This was the comfort, this was familiar, and I would not want to be anywhere else in the world at that moment, except home. It was a beautiful feeling: habitual, intimate and invigorating.

So what do you do when after all these comfortable moments that you have enjoyed so much, you suddenly lost home? When all of a sudden you find yourself alone, trying to find comfort in your own company, and yet craving for escape, to get lost in the wilderness in search for the unsearchable, and not knowing where exactly to go, except that the only thing your heart desires is to be home? And because you lost home, there is nowhere else to go, because what once was, will never be brought back together again?

My soul was in chaos, and in the process of searching for my identity back, I wanted to run, run far away without knowing where I would go. I have wanted to run away to a remote place and I wanted to be alone but at the same time, the thought of being alone scared me. To be alone was an unfamiliar concept to me because I have been so used to spending my days with that part of my life which I can no longer come back to.

I Was Broken And In Pain

It is true that you only know how strong you are until it is the only choice you have. I have come to learn that if I wish to continue to live beautifully and with hope, I shall not give up on myself and fall into a dark abyss of misery and despair. To be strong is the only choice there is, and as I pick up the pieces of me that have been scattered into the universe, as I was broken and in pain, wanting to run away from life, I chose to be that strong woman I just have to be. I was lost, but I have to find pieces of me to put back together again. I thank my friends and the few people I have chosen to confide with at that moment in my life when all I wanted to do was to escape. Because they helped me stay grounded, for the sake of my sanity and my soul.

You know that yearning of going someplace when you are at your worst in life? Yes, I am about to drop the clichéd question: where do broken hearts go?

The answer is obvious but quite more often, it is taken for granted: find solace in a place that is new.

Answer: To Find Solace In A Place That Is New

I was at the point in my life where a lot of things didn’t make sense, and I had to drag my body out of bed each day. I had to continuously tell myself, “just one more day”. Just one more day away from the past, and closer to the future. What future that was, I wasn’t so sure that I knew it either. All I knew was, that I had to force myself to continue living – yet I was not alive at all.

They say that travel is the best cure for the soul. They say the way to cure a broken heart is to be out in the world and go out on an adventure. Get lost and find yourself again. I had my doubts, I had my reservations, and I had so many excuses. But if I truly wanted to heal, I had to give myself that chance to heal.

I believe that the universe works its way to synchronicity, and places you at the right moment, around the right people, at the right time. Because on the day I deliberately committed myself to take the leap, to have no second thoughts and to take the plunge, an opportunity presented itself like a low hanging fruit.

Joining A Random Road Trip

A good friend told me she was going on a trip, and that I should also come with her. I first said no, but staying true to my recent conviction, I just took the leap, held back second thoughts, and took the plunge. She did all the work and signed me up for an experience I would forever cherish and be grateful for. At that time, I didn’t know what she was signing me up for.

It turned out she was signing me up with Experience Philippines’ Random Road Trip. It is a one of a kind travel experience where the destination and the itinerary are kept a secret from each guest not until they arrive at the destination.

It forced me out of my comfort zone and embrace spontaneity, the unpredictable and the unknown -- I admit I prefer to know and make plans because I will have a sense of control, regardless if other people make the plans and decisions for me. However, with not an idea on how your trip goes, together with a bunch of strangers, is in itself a formula for anxiety and worry.

And yet I reminded myself, this is the first step of letting go of control, to find healing, and find myself back again.

The Random Road Trip gave me exactly what I needed: the feeling of being alone and yet with a sense of security because I was traveling with other people (albeit strangers), with an itinerary and plan (except that I didn’t know what the plan was). But then I allowed myself to trust my instincts that I should be where I needed to be and that the destination was irrelevant. I was there for the experience and the change of scenery, and to test out the theory that travel cures a broken heart.

So I was alone with my own thoughts and my own emotions, as I took a break to experience the natural scenery by the sea and in the jungle. I was left alone with myself while on board the bus as I slept my way through the 16 hours of land travel; I was not compelled to talk nor complain while on queue amidst a long line and chaotic welcome at the port entrance (in fact, I was just laughing at the incredulity of the crowd – the ship was not leaving without everyone on board, but of course I left my judgments to myself); I was not forced to share my story to my fellow travelers because everyone else had their own story to tell (to which I was a just a distracted listener, my mind occasionally floating its way at the center of the big wide universe).

I was left alone, by myself just like I was the lone wolf in the city, except that I was seeing new sights and sounds, closer to the serenity and warmth of nature, and further away from the urban jungle where I felt confined, restrained, and suffocated.

If there was one thing I have come to appreciate in two of the Random Road Trips I have joined with Experience Philippines (update as of June 2018: I have already joined a total of 5 and counting), it was that travel was a philosophy. Nothing can ever go wrong with a Random Road Trip – because what can ever go wrong when you don’t know what is supposed to go right in the first place?

Travel made me let go of control and accept that a lot of discomforts are bound to happen, regardless if the trip was well-planned or not (like when we had to change our route because of a storm, or when we had to spend more hours of travel back home because we ran out of return tickets). Travel made me become more resilient, and patient, and accept the fact that there is only a little I can do for things I cannot control – and as the guest of the Random Road Trip, I literally had to put my time and my life to our able Travel Manager to sort things out, while I persevere, and trust that we will eventually get home. Travel made me become more courageous to experience new things: paddleboard and lie on board in the heat of the sun as I contemplate about life; jump without reluctance from a 40ft cliff believing that I would survive, and then do it three more times; go blind in complete darkness in a cold remote cave just because; and endure a ~24 hour travel on the road, in the boat, and the waiting in between. And lastly, the experience taught me to trust that in the company of like-minded strangers, I will be safe. I must admit, I did eventually learn to go out of my shell and open to these kind-hearted souls whom I have traveled with.

A Trip For The Brave Soul

An Experience Philippines Random Road Trip is not for everyone, I must admit. This trip is for the brave soul (or the ones who are afraid, but are taking their first step to find courage); this trip is for the people who choose to let go of control, and let spontaneity and randomness take over; this trip is for the hearts that search for meaningful experiences, to be one with nature in the remotest part of the country, and find kindred spirits in the form of like-minded souls to share memories with; this trip is for real people with their own life experiences, their own baggage and their own yearning for escape, to find a sense of solitude (for you come alone) and companionship (for you are with like-minded strangers).

Through Experience Philippines, I did learn to let go of control and forget about expectations. I may have come alone, but I would come back earning new friends. We were all running away from the city and chasing after experiences that revitalize our soul.

Does Travel Cure A Broken Heart

And here comes the part where I try to answer the question: does travel cure a broken heart? Not entirely. I believe that a cure to a broken heart cannot be solved with a quick trip to the countryside, or an escape from the routine. It is a mixture of a lot of things. I may not know the exact formula, but there is one thing that travel did bring to help me through the new sense of self-discovery. I have come to get to know myself better and realize that I did not know myself entirely. It pushed me to my boundaries and out of my comfort zone. It made me realize that I am more impulsive than I declare myself to be – and I have come to embrace that. It made me realize that I actually love to be in the city and experience the fast-paced life in the demanding corporate world, and at the same time it made me realize that I can make quick getaways outside of the city to revive my tired soul, if I just let go of excuses, will it, and make it happen.

What Travel Made Me Appreciate

But there is one more important thing that travels made me appreciate: I was no longer questioning whether I wanted to live or not. I desperately and wanted to cling to life, because travel made me want to do more, experience more, and discover a deeper sense of meaning in my life and my purpose. I can do more, I can do better, and I can make a difference. I was no longer confined to nurturing the feeling of loss and yearning, but I was looking forward to finding more freedom and release to find new places to discover, to create more experiences to cherish, and to meet more like-minded souls in search of deeper meaning and purpose.

I now travel not to escape, but I travel to experience home everywhere: on the long and winding road, in the calm and raging seas, in the company of conversations and friends, and in the city with the night lights and muted sounds. Home is everywhere and nowhere. But I know I can be home, wherever I choose it to be.

I took the plunge, let go of control, and forgot about expectations. I embraced spontaneity, the unpredictable, and the unknown. I trusted that nothing can ever go wrong if I do not know what was supposed to go right in the first place. That was Experience Philippines’ Random Road Trip. It may not have cured my broken heart, but it gave me so much more. It made such positive impact on my life that it changed the way how I now look and cherish life, my experiences, and the people who surround me.

I wish you find your courage too.
