SIRAO: MORE THAN JUST THE FLOWERS


The wind that blew her hair that holiday afternoon caused her once neatly-fixed hair looked like it has never been combed at all. Her sweat has been dripping for quiet sometime caused by that late afternoon heat but she didn’t care at all. The gentle breeze that brushed through her sun-kissed skin and the euphoria brought by the magnificent sight behold in front of her was indeed worth all the struggles of hanging through cliffs, trekking down the slippery trails and drenching into the rushing waters of the rivers and falls. The tranquility over the place and the sweet scenery of the warm embrace of the luscious green mountains to the surrounding calm waters of the island was achingly marvelous. Too marvelous that she felt like crying her heart out.



Why can’t people see that there’s more to life than just hovering over their gadgets all day?

Why can’t people see that just a few distances from the busy life they have, is a peaceful place for those who are in doubt?



Why can’t people see the importance of keeping the gifts of God as great as it has been?

\
Why can’t people see that they don’t have to spend so much to find happiness?

Why do we have to spoil it with consumerism?


Why can’t progress and care for the integrity of creation work hand in hand?



Her thoughts were filled with inquiries that dried up all her juices. Probably she’s overthinking. But she couldn’t help but think that if people were as eager as they have been in looking for that minute Celosia flower farm and in becoming responsible stewards of God’s creation, we could have lessen the destruction, disasters and disruptions we were experiencing right now.

Imahe
Summer is not just the time to go to places to relax, unwind and soul searching. You can have all the days you want, all the time you need and all the places to visit. Since I was in college, I always wanted to visit some bigger islands here in Cebu. Human combustion isn’t real. At least, that’s what my science professors in college and high school said. Yet, somehow, I felt like I was on the verge of bursting into flames as the dry season was about to officially kickoff. With Metro Cebu heating up environmentally and politically, I had a craving for a refreshing escapade to get away from the hot spell. And, as I was going through a multitude of options, a beautiful idea flashed into my mind. Why not take a plunge at the famous beaches and trendy places in Camotes Island here in Cebu? So, I, together with my laag buddies, ventured into the neigboring town, Camotes Cebu, and released our happy hormones at Lake Danao, Paraiso Cave, Busay Falls, Buho Rock Resort, Santiago White ...

Alicia Hills: The Gleaming Rolling Hills of Alicia, Bohol

Imahe
                      Every adventure connoisseur needs a little spontaneity in their getaways. In the age of Facebook, Instagram and Google, we rarely take a hike for a simple exploration adventure. Nowadays, everything is researched, planned and even rehearsed. Of course, we all know the thrill of hiking somewhere awe-inspiring is still there. But, wouldn’t it be better or more exciting if your escapade started the moment you chase the 5:00 a.m. boat trip to Bohol?

A life without adventure is likely to be unsatisfying, but a life in which adventure is allowed to take whatever form it will is sure to be short. Once again, we've ventured another stroll of our life. But this time is a touch with nature. Quite different yet we have a fulfilling day . It all started when one of my colleagues decided to plan a trip for May. Besides, we're all adventure-seekers and we're all nature lovers. Actually, our group was supposedly composed of 15, but some did back-outs. Only 7 continued, well, not bad at all. Even if you are with the same fellas you used to be with, but the longing for friendships will  surely bring out the best in each trips and ain't boring at all.

So, I was the one then who found Catmon a convenient place. During my search for places to visit in Catmon. I found out that ...
