It's One Year!

September 04,2012

HAPPY ONE YEAR BLOGGY!

I can't believed it!(over!) A year had passed since the day I've created this blog. One year of laughter, sadness, failures and success posts I had shared here. And reminiscing such events made me teary eyed, tears of joy dolls, I've been here for this long! One of the greatest accomplishment I've done for myself which I thought I really can't. So, September is a special month for me and opted to make entries this month dedicated to my blog's anniversary. 

Lets go back in time, one year ago.. when I've felt and discovered what was my other passion. I've made this, which I'm calling a "Virtual Diary"- accounts of anything I would love to write. To be honest, I don't have a knack in writing and I'm not pretty good in expressing myself in English (shame on me). A product of pester every time I stutter lol. Whatever it is, I can't imagine myself fit in this world before, but not for now =)

So, whats the ground of making such this? What's the force that pushes me to create one? Adventures and travel epilogues are part of the reason, but it wasn't the major one. It was for DIVERSION, yes, you read it right. 

Last year, I was in a state of emotional anguish. Though I had work before to keep me busy still, It does not amend a painful sorrow (getting emotional here) haha. It was hard to overcome an event such like that and so, I want my dynamism to be burn in a sensible activity. With the help of my friend who is also a blogger, she recommended me this and told me to write all my accounts in travel and adventures or, anything under the sun. And ola! I just discovered that I have talent for this. As time goes by, I'm getting good and becoming a better writer ,and I can express myself well now. What a blessing in disguise! =)

and I want to share this pic - the awesome " I CAN"  =)

Thumbs up for my little introvert self. What a wonderful year it is! Hoping for more years and posts to come!

IGACOS 2: Hagimit Falls

July 26,2012

.......

After the Monfort Bat Cave / Sanctuary experienced (here) we headed up to Hagimit Falls at Penaplata, IGACOS.

Again, we need to ride on a motorcycle grr.. a little longer travel, somehow the road was concrete so it was not butt aching. We paid php 60.00 from Bat Cave to Hagimit :). It was an admirable day and the sun was up and I'm sweating a little. So I'm just really excited to be in the place and to jump off the water :-) .

SOME STORES OUTSIDE

When we arrived at the place, were not anymore shocked. haha What I mean is that, the entrance fee wasn't that very pocket aching lol. Entrance fee was php 40.00 (the price I'm expecting). Anyhow if you want snacks to pig in, you can buy some on the stores outside. 

But before you can go to the falls itself (various ones present) you need to trek a little, don't worry its going down and concrete stairs are present. hehe I love the feeling of nature here. :) I love the greens, all are alive!

DORA, ESTE JOANN F. HEHE

WELCOME LADIES! :)

MY TWINS TIRED

Goofing around the place, we've noticed some bizzare formations and designs. So we let our cameras get busy! I'll let the pictures do the talking here ^.^

A BIT CREEPY PIC HERE

ETO NA MGA PARS AND MARS!

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOT :)  WHAT THEY CALL THE "HYDRO MASSAGE"

Anyhow the water that time wasn't pleasing to my eyes. I have doubts to dive in. The water's color seems extinct. (dead? meh ganun!) So I just spent time wetting myself and enjoying the hydro massage :) A body reviving massage from the motorcycle ride but, cause me at end HEADACHE!!!huhu. Somehow the scenery is great! I can sleep here the whole afternoon! LOL 

One thing that we noticed here is that, the place was divided into different resorts/owner. So you have choices where to stay and pick up cottages (necessary for your things) but you can swim anywhere you like. Mahal Forest Resort was our choice and we've paid the cheapest cottage (umbrella type one) of php 70.00 haha, inclusive used of shower room and any of their amenities.

THE UMBRELLA COTTAGE

 MAHAL'S  OWN EXIT- ONLY FOR THEIR GUESTS

THE TOP VIEW

AND WERE GOING HOME :)

From Hagimit to Home ?? HEADACHE is still present :(

Maybe because of my growling tummy that time. LOL

But, a day after Joann got skin rushes tsk2...

IGACOS 1: Monfort Bat Cave / Sanctuary

July 24,2012

Since the plan for Gumasa didn't come to reality, me and Joann had our plan B, and this is our agenda :

WHAT : Monfort Bat Cave / Sanctuary and Hagimit Falls

WHEN : July 21, 2012

WHERE : Island Garden City of Samal (IGACOS)

Since its weekend and to avoid rushing and queuing people, me and Joann met up at Magsaysay Park, Sta. Ana Davao City to wait for the bus going to IGACOS. Our first stop was Monfort Bat Cave at Brgy. Tambo Babak, IGACOS. The bus fare going to Babak proper was php 30.00 and from there to the Bat Cave is php 30.00 per person via motorcycle. Motorcycle is the commonly used transportation in the city so I have no choice but to ride on it though I was really scared haha.

THE ADVENTURE STARTS HERE! (ON THE MOTORCYCLE HUHU)

It was a bumpy ride en route to the site since the road was under construction. So it heightened more my anxiety riding the motorcycle and we didn't used helmet LOL. My butt and my legs was really stressed that time :( anyhow, not more than 20 minutes you'll be there. 

ENTRY ^.^

JUST ARRIVED- PAYING MOMENTS (SHOCKED MODE!! WHAT??!!)

Arriving and upon paying the entrance fee, we are really shocked because of the php 100.00 fee! Darn. We thought it was just php 40.00- 50.00 hays, we have no choice or else.. haha . They've increase since November last year due to lack of government support/ funds since it was a private property spot. Thank God, I brought extra cash huhu.

WITH TWIN SISSY JOANN F.!

Anyhow moving on, the place was big ( I never thought so ), and I was amazed to know that MBC/S is a Guiness Book record holder due to the number of  rousettus amplexicaudatus the kind of bat that stays there. 

Last 2006 the sanctuary was awarded and during that time the estimated number of bats was 1.8 million how much more now??! So how did they came up with that 1.8 million? According to Emerry one of the staff there, the way of getting that number was to count a number of bats in a one square meter multiply it to the total square area of the cave cool!  hahaha :) 

THE ENTRANCE TO BATMAN'S HIDING PLACE LOL

A LITTLE TREKKING

I was overwhelmed with what I saw! super dami nila! That little color black hanging in the walls of the cave give me goosebumps! LOL. eehh

 The place was noisy and smelly due to the bat's population and poos (that is used as fertilizers also) Though I really want to touch and hold that little batman but prohibited. 

However, sightseeing of bats is not the only activity we've done there. Because of the php 100.00 entrance fee that caught us off guard we made "sulit nalang" the payment. We took pictures galore, went on to the bat exhibit hall, chill time with Emerry who is very talkative and even got to see and know the owner Ms. Monfort, and of course enjoy the beauty of nature. 

THE JUMPSHOT TURNS OUT TO BE SERIES SHOT HAHA IKAW NA!

AT THE BAT EXHIBIT HALL

BABY BAT LOST IN THE C.R. 

IN AWE.. HOW BEAUTIFUL HAYS :)

:) After all the things we did here.. we now bid goodbye and went on to our next stop!

so, do you have any memories and experienced at Monfort Bat Sanctuary?

Taking Dare on Indoor Golf

 June 8, 2012

 It's already June! Time changes so fast-thus we started the first day of the month trying another undertaking.

Out of boredom strikes the idea of meeting up with my adventure bud Joann. It was the 6th months of Singles Club (our Single-hood awareness day =) )and celebrating the event come up the concept of trying the "INDOOR GOLF". I'm not a fan of of this sport, but I knew some famous international and local celebrity who's playing this- Of course the famous Tiger Woods comes first to mind :)

This thing was endorsed by my friend Mechel who's working at that Golf shop- name was Malgosh Inc. located at Acacia, Davao City just in front of STI College. It was a Golf shop selling different Golf materials but upstairs, they're offering Indoor Golf with the rate of  Php 100.00 / hour :)

Not to keep you waiting , I wanna share to 'ya all some pictures =)

Meet up the Iron's with specific numbers and the golf balls

Joann with my friend Mechel, teaching us how to handle properly the Iron

My turn then.. @.@

hahaha. I was concentrating here. Thinking the face of the person I hated the most

as being the golf ball and making sure hitting that ! LOL

the striking moment! I'm pretty sure, and as far as I remember - I haven't hit the ball. FAIL! 

With my twin sissy adventure bud Joann! The person I'm closest as of now- 

since we've shared the same "LIKES" in life ^.^

do we look like the same? HAHAHA

Tournament! :P
Not to make Joann feel so "magaleng" in this post haha but to tell you,

she is so good at this! :) it was "addicting" she said .

 Kudos twin!

we also tried the PUTTER :)

This is what you call a PUTTER, designed primarily to roll the ball along the grass, generally from a point on the putting green towards the cup.

And here's the main event, my super blooper vid! hahaha

titled as " THE RABBIT is TALKING"

credits to Joann for this vid- mwah!

anyways.. trying golf seems so easy right? but to tell you it was really difficult at first!

nah! I can't hit the ball and the target and the Iron is so heavy.

That's why a day after I got muscle pains. =(
But then, It was worth the try dolls!

Loving advice? do stretching first hehe

Had a great day that time =0

betcha you try Indoor Golf soon

See you soon on my next adventure

Godbless you all!
