Next on Maine Mendoza's bucket list: Skydive alone

By Gia Allana Soriano

Maine Mendoza stepped out of her comfort zone when she tried skydiving for the first time during her trip in Miami.

She wrote on her Instagram account, "I have always wondered how it would feel to fly. How do birds feel when they soar through the sky. How it feels to see everything from up above. I was fortunate enough to experience this in the magic city— Miami."

She also elaborated on her overall experience. She sad, "Funny thing, I almost cried while sitting inside the aircraft– incredibly nervous and happy– because DAMN I cannot believe I am actually doing this! (There is nothing more nerve-racking than the anticipation; from signing the waiver to the plane ride up; and when they open that motherfriggin door mid-flight! Jusko ang puso ko!) But when we jumped off, I felt nothing but absolute bliss. For the most part, it felt unreal to me. It was breathtaking– literally, too. It was amazing. Best part is I didn’t pee my shorts! Seriously though, I cannot believe I actually did it; I took the ultimate plunge! I was so freakin scared but still I made it alive. Lol!"

The actress then told her followers what her next goal is. She added, "Next on my bucket list is to do it alone. (Charot, semi-not charot!) It made me realize most of the things worth doing starts with being nervous or terrified. You just gotta take the leap and make it happen. You might just be amazed at what you could achieve and how far your jump can take you ONLY if you take the chance. Sabi nga sa Nike, “just do it”! Some things are always worth a try. At the end of the day, chances are you'll be thanking yourself for taking the risk because it made you happy... or at least alive."

Maine also urged everyone to try new things this 2018. The actress said, "I hope we all get to experience new things and collect wonderful memories this 2018! Happy New Year, everybody!"
