Simply Unforgettable Experience! SAGADA! AAAwww...

I came. I saw. I was conquered. Caving at Sagada way back 2009 was really incomparable. Had so much adventure. I and my colleagues can’t denied that it wasn’t easy, but we’re so thankful to our tour guide who never leave us. Because of them, I never took any chances of going back outside (hahaha). Seeing the unseen was so fascinating. ;D

There, I had beaten up my fear. Dared to step on very steep and slippery cliff-like structures inside. There I challenged myself not to give up, just continue the long walks, and until then I’ve reached up (with so much pamaol nga wa damha, bwahaha..:D). Even the bat’s waste never sleeped…I’d just remmbrd that I simply got its waste on my palm, so ewww..haha..but it’s actually friendly, with no bad odor a.k.a.. One thing I’ll never forget about here was we had hit our ignorance and face our fear to climb and we didn’t jump into conclusion that we can never do it. Caving is really more fun here in Sagada!!! :))))

Damn, I miss those moments we had… like singing inside d van on a very long roadtrip…haha..pro wa pa jd intawn koi dgi cam a2..tsk3x! Missin’ those moment’s we shared with laughter’s, jokes, and adventures in between…LOL!!! :D J))).I’D NEVER MISSED ONE-HALF OF MY LIFE WHEN I JOINED AND TRAVELLED WITH THEM!!!!!

(Sagada, Mountain Province, Summer of April, 2009 )

It's amazing how fast  we got on top of the rocks without even touching the rocks for support.

Our team. The so-called road warriors, yo!  I salute all these tour guides for they never failed to make us feel secure in all those parts until now I couldn’t imagine how I get through. They also colored some dull moments when they narrated stories and humored us.

George Guest House. The place where we stayed and took a lot of activities that made our every night wonderful. So cold here every morn and night.

                                 
                                   Foggy terrains~ I used to catch up with these every morning.

            

            ...felt relaxed with d warmth of this brick fireplace..^,^ IT's always at your service in Sagada!

                                            
                                             The guests with the guest speaker..ahaha!^,^

                                                          
                                                             Enchanting Hanging Coffins

                        

                          Our unforgettable dining...wHat's up with that hair mam socor? ehehe.~.^

            It was cozy enough to eat foods in one of the native restaurants in Sagada even if we just sat on wooden chairs just around d corners..'lami mn gud ghpon ikaun bsta naa tas laing lugar' haha. Cheers to this brown rice! It made our tummy happy and full!:D

                 tHE awesome dudes and dudettes during the trip... They were all brave enough to conquer the wide cave. Honestly, I never knew Sagada until these people forced me to wander to this wonderful place.. BWahaha!!

                                                
                                                 Entrance to Sagada Cave. YES, this is it!

                  Believe it or not?! Even if we're only 13, there's still traffic on the cave! We had to wait for our turn to step on to very steep rocks. 

                  The very steep and slippery rocks. Well, it's not yet my turn. But, oh, there comes the serious guys!!! hehehe.

                     Without this little lamp brought by our tour guide, we wouldn't be able to hang out with the bats, haha...Seriously, it was our most important stuff.

               Guys, Dare to swim here? We can be like freezing penguin here if we stayed overnight. Cheers to my yellow-green hat, it never failed to protect me...bwahaha!

                     What an amazing rock formation! ;D Haven't stopped wondering until now on how great and beautiful formations happened to be here.  Just imagine the great changes this place had gone through. My little knowledge in geology tells me that these kinds of rocks—they fell under the sedimentary rocks category—underwent tremendous pressure, cementing and hardening before they could be the rocks we see now.

We had gone through some very small holes in the caves just to enter to some other areas. We even played hide-and-seek for fun! joke! Until then, we survived cave connection! Hoorayy!!!

~Up until now, I could not help smiling whenever I see our Sagada photos. It was a very unique experience. I could not argue more it’s one of the most beautiful places you could ever be in the Philippines—the people were awesome; the traditions intact; and the places extraordinary. I am not usually the mushy type of person but I would say I was in love w/ ds place. Sagada just conquered my heart.
