freediving essentials

From Non-Swimmer to Freediving Coach of Asia Last year, I promised myself to fill my life with much more growth, new learnings, experiences, and skills. One of my goals aside from hiking high mountains is to learn how to swim confidently because I'm afraid whenever my feet couldn't touch the seabed anymore. As a woman who is always willing to learn something new, I challenged myself to try freediving last May 2019 where I took Course 1 (Introduction/ Basics of Freediving) and Course 2 (Safety, Rescue and Self-help) with the help of Coach Kristin Atienza. I never thought I would enjoy freediving for the first time! The ocean became my happy and quiet place where all the stress, anxieties, worries, fears, and noise are left at the surface, where I can be as free as the fishes, as peaceful as the sea turtles, and as vibrant as the corals. I felt, at that moment, that I was a real-life mermaid! I also consider freediving as a great therapy where we need to meditate - relax our mind and body. Furthermore, learning how to save ourselves and other people during emergency situations is beneficial for everyone of us. Aside from that, I like and support the advocacy of Freediving Coaches of Asia (FCOA) - to teach open water survival and safety diving spread the love and care for the ocean by less to zero waste and coastal clean-ups, and inspire and empower other people to do the same. So after my first freediving experience, I decided to pursue the next courses and daydreamed of being a Freediving Coach soon. I had my birthday dive last July. Gradually, I felt more confident than before. Fear is fading. There was an improvement. After a month, I took Course 3 (Navigation) and Course 4 (Ropework and Weight Use) with the help of Coach Hazel Gallos and Coach Joseph Rabino, and Assistant Coaches - Coach Miles Scherzinger and Coach Aldrich Ballares. Thank you, coaches! I thought I won't be able to take the last course just like what I planned due to financial constraints but by God's grace, I was able to take Course 5 (Coach Training) last December. Thank you again to Coach Tin! In turn, I’ve found out that continuously learning, surrounding myself with inspiring people, and challenging myself, gradually changed my life for the better. Thank you so much to all the coaches who patiently taught and believed in me! I wouldn't have done this without your help. I didn't meet my expectations, I exceeded it! Who would have thought that a non-swimmer can be a Freediving Coach? This year, I started teaching freediving lessons and I could proudly say that this is one of the most fulfilling jobs in the world - to see my student's willingness to learn freediving, love and care for the ocean, conquer their fears, and push themselves to be a better and responsible freediver. All of them made me so proud! Thank God for the guidance, strength, and for the opportunity to see the beauty of His creations under the sea.

Recent Look Up

Reading is important because it keeps our minds active, develops our thoughts, and gives us endless knowledge. Here are some of the books I’ve read which greatly influenced me to be the woman I am today: 📗 5 Habits of a Woman who doesn’t Quit by Nicki Koziar 📘 It’s Easy being Green: One Student’s Guide to Serving God and Saving the Planet by Emma Sleeth 📙 How Could I Ask for More? Stories of Blessings, Battles and Beauty by Cindy Morgan 📗 The Hardest Peace: Expecting Grace in the Midst of Hard by Kara Tipetts 📘 Limitless by Bo Sanchez 📙 The Happiness Dare by Jennifer Dukes Lee 📗 All The Places to Go by John Ortberg 📘 The Crown: Your Essential Guide to Becoming a Beauty Queen by Jonas Gaffud 📙 God is always Watching over you by Gary Morris 📗 And it was Beautiful by Kara Tipetts As much as I love to read, I am also mindful of the brightness of the lighting of the area I’m reading to avoid eye strain. Most of the time, I utilize the benefits of sunlight. The best way to start saving on our electricity costs is to get smart about how we use electricity. When you’re witty and thrifty at the same time, I realized that small changes can add up to big savings on our bills.

Art for A Cause

“Whatever you do,” Paul wrote, “work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” I love to make art, an act of concreating with God. I experience supreme happiness when I’m doing what I’m created to do and when I’m doing it well. I invited Jesus to lead my hand so my works will be meaningful. Collective efforts have been made to support Helping Hands’ community outreach programs. Art for a Cause was just a prayer, a hope, dream, a thought, and an idea. But on that faithful day, God heard and made everything which seems impossible possible. I made 10 paintings about all the places I’ve been - from mountains to oceans and everything in between. We had a mini art exhibit of my paintings in my friend’s tea shop – Mad Hatter’s Tea Shop. It was so glad to meet and talk to people about the stories behind each painting, my inspiration, my background, and of course, Helping Hands’ advocacy. It is, indeed, a very humbling experience.
