Cateel Falls Hopping

Aliwagwag Falls
Who says, adventure needs to be so far away from home... Maybe the same person who said "an ostensible was designed with green mold"... whatever that meant... :D

Anyway, so I'm into adventure and hubby isn't much, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't drag him into it... Well, I'll have to know if he'd find it in himself that it's sooo much fun!!!

Tagolinao Falls
So we joined a group of adventure and photography enthusiasts for a Waterfalls Hopping in Cateel, Davao Oriental, Philippines on April 25, 2010... I was so excited yet a bit anxious that hubby might not be up to it when we get there... But we went through anyway....

The trip costs Php1,600 per participant, which includes transportation, breakfast and lunch, which took my breath away, by the way.... Assembly time was 1:00AM and the trip ended around 10:00PM on the same day...

The group departed at 1:30AM, it was a five-hour trip, so we arrived on our first destination in Aliwagwag Falls around 5:30AM, then took our breakfast and stayed a bit longer enjoying the cold falling waters....whew! fabulous...

Next stop was the Tagolinao Falls, around 15 minute drive from the first waterfall... Great feeling, water is so refreshing!!! But you need to struggle your way up to the highest level, cause it's quite dangerous and steep before you get to relax with the beauty of nature...


Mabuyong Falls
Last but definitely not the least, the Mabuyong Falls... It was the most dangerous stride, climb and crawl among the three, but the most worth it! And no one who went with us would tell otherwise... It was way far from the word amazing...

Aliwagwag Falls
The adventure was a BLAST! And hubby loved it soooo much, he's so excited for the future trips and adventure getaways....

Tarp designs...

Image
Yumi the Snow White - by me Last Saturday, Feb. 12, my niece was celebrating her birthday in advance. Her dad, my brother, is leaving for his work before her birthday, Feb 22, so they celebrated it ahead. My sis-in-law, requested me to take care of the tarp, and I said why not. It will be my gift to Yumi. Fairy barbie Yumi - by Kuya Jer Friday came with the tarp in mind that it will be a Barbie themed, I did not have a design in mind yet. My officemate and dear friend Kuya Jerry is not that busy, so I asked him if maybe he could make one for me. But then he's making one for another friend, so I thought, if he could finish one with a barbie/princess style, that's good, but I'll make one something on a modern rock-in-roll kind, so my niece will have a choice. I sort of don't exactly know what would she really like. Yumi rocks!!! - by me Kuya Jerry finished one and I did one too. So I went home and showed it to my bro and sis-in-law. They're both cute but ...

2013: Laoag - Pagudpud - Vigan - Sagada - Banaue Escapade in 1 (one)Week

Day 1: Wednesday, Sep. 11, 2013 (Hello Laoag!) Paoay Church Our flight from Davao departed at 10:05 AM, Labsy and I were glad we had this schedule. Perfect enough that we don't need to be too early in the airport, we can still enjoy breakfast and just in time for lunch when we reach Manila. We stayed in the airport since we had another flight to Laoag at 7:05 PM and grab the chance to find some electrical outlets to charge our phones. Our first day was spent mostly at the airport and since we won't be staying long in Laoag, I opted to look for a cheaper place to stay. I thought since we will arrive way past 8PM and will leave early the next morning to start the site seeing, a so-so place would be OK. But NO, it wasn't! Our ride to town But, before reaching to that "never-again" place for overnight. Our ride from Laoag Airport to town was free! Yes, free. The Laoag Airport has a free shuttle, using an electric powered multicab (small jeep) for the tou...

My First Dive (Samal Island)

Image
I have been intrigued by scuba diving for a long time but didn't have an open door to make a step towards it. I've always been a fan of the world under and fascinated w/ the whole new universe that sea creatures are having. But, as they say, anything is possible! A day to visit the world under "UP CLOSE & PERSONAL" happened for real! Orientation by Sir Ivan I expected to have a better diving chance on our future travel to Coron, Palawan. But what do you know??? Ma'am Beth, the owner of the boarding house where my father and brothers used to stay while in Manila, visited Davao and stayed in our humble home for a few days. Who happens to be an avid fan of scuba diving and wanted to experience diving in Samal Island to add to her list. Well, as expected, mom won't join us since she's afraid of activities like that. So, despite our persistent request to Mom and Papo to join, but failed, still with all excitement, Labsy & I, coordinated w/ a few d...
