Quick Escape & Hike: Budlaan Untold Tales





When you know people who are passionate and driven to hiking and climbing, there's no other way out but say yes. This seemed to be the cause of why my newbie bukid buddy had to be with me on the journey to Budlaan River Trekking one fine, quite sunny day of November 12. We don't really planned it but perhaps, a day off and a break from all the stresses at work could be a common reason why she needed to be out from the metropolis. Apparently, the itinerary went well even though we just communicated through chat a night before that day. 

Actually, it was one of my goal on my birthmonth (to finally pursue someone to get out from the reality) harharhar. :D My goal was to trek again with someone I could share with my experiences or the life I had encountered in the boondocks. Thankfully, it was memorable though we don't have much time. Very thankful also because the weather was nice and favorable to us. We were panting, our breaths uneven, maybe because we lack exercise. Much so when the soil got muddy, prone for sliding which was caused by the heavy rain the other night. I managed, we both did. We reached Budlaan river and falls with hungry stomach but satisfied grin. The trail was way easy and the falls was just spectacular. I was a breathtaking sight and we could not look any more happier. As we went back to our jumped-off area, we trekked an uphill trail on a different path that became manageable for us. Later on, while the sky was still doing its job, some sticky wild plants had cling into our legging pants and our shoes got muddy, but that's just fine 'coz we were able to wash it when we dropped by a water faucet. 





Finally and wonderfully, not later than 12 pm, we were riding on a straight road of dirt. We went back directly to the mall where we started to find a jeepney that is bound for talamban (where Brgy Budlaan is located.) Lucky to quenched our thirst and fed our hungry stomach in a fast food chain. Thank God for it. Had ourselves settled in the back of a small multi-cab as we headed back to our homeland. 

Oh. It was fun. Great fun. Till next time! :D ♥

Camotes Island: Our Trip to the Lost Horizon of the South

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 ...

The Cafe Hopper!

Imahe
Apart from being workaholic person, I also set my another businesses into pleasures which I'm always counting on. Because I believe some things should not be taken for granted for those have been around for a long time.  What I'm talking about actually are the simple pleasures that also gives meaning to life. And some of these might be new for me because it's more indulging, like my newest passion, "photography." But recently, I'm into hops and fun! Particularly in a place called Cafe.. So, yes, I'm now literally called a cafe hopper even if I'm too occupied with work-related activities. It's another new simple pleasure and a new temporary "humble abode" for me (just fondly called) because there's no place like home, anyway! hehe.  Needless to say, I'm overjoyed when I'm in a cafe, considering it's as odd as before. I guess, this started when I've experienced and learned so many things from all the travels, adven...

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? Wouldn’t it be more rewarding and fulfilling to go somewhere barely touched by tourists like Alicia Panoramic Hills? Alicia Town Proper                              And, I get it – most of us don’t like the feeling of uncertainty. We are all scared of exploring the unknown and not having a clue on what’s going to happen. We are afraid that things will not go as expected or t...
