#iLuVRapIds!!!

Rafting:MoreFunManyTimesAround...

Water Rafting is my all time favorite water sport. Where else would I do this? Nowhere else but in the place full of adventure, Cagayan de Oro!

I've done water rafting with my friends and colleagues a total three times now. And every experience that I've had was completely different from the other. Every "whoooaaa!" and "aaahhhh!" were all accounted for.

The Ranch Resort: A Trip to the South

Who would've thought that such beauty ever existed in this secluded place? The Ranch Resort is truly worth your while...

Approximately 3 hours ride from Cebu City going to Bato, Toledo City is what we have endured before finally arriving at this hidden resort. My friends and I were supposed to head straight to the beach  but a friend of ours living close here in this place suggested this to us and that this resort would really exceed our expectations.

Siargao Island: The Cloud 9 Waves

A visit to the best known surfing waves in Siargao Island... 

More fun under the SuN!!!

Cloud 9 is very famous not only in the city and country where I came from but also the place is very prominent internationally. Surfing competitions are held here which are participated by hundreds of surfing enthusiasts all over the country and the world. The waves at Cloud 9 are so inviting and you just want to keep going. 

The waves never stops and anytime of the year this can be enjoyed.

Siargao Island: The Surfer's Paradise

Ohh yess!!! I visited the Surfing Capital of the Philippines!!!!And I'm so ready to learn how to surf!

The warmest sun, the best waters, and the finest sand all of which best describes the island. There was no dull moment, just pure fun and excitement. And of course surfing was the top priority but the island itself was too rich to be focused on one single activity, that's why me and my bunchies explored the island to our heart's content. 

Sinulog 2014 Celebration - On The Streets

The Sights...   The Sounds...   The Vibe...   

One week before this prestigious festival, the streets of Cebu already becomes vibrant and lively. The Sinulog beat can be felt just about anywhere: inside the malls, in the restaurants, private establishments, public offices, bars, in the streets, etc. For me, this was a good time to explore the city since it has lesser crowd and you can also appreciate more the beauty of Cebu without any undivided attention.

THE GIGANTIC DISPLAYS

The most awaited attraction in the heart of Cebu, Fuente Osmena Circle, was these gigantic displays featuring the image of Snr. Sto. Nino. Penshoppe and Bambi Oil were among the biggest companies in the country who sponsored the said displays. I'm always excited to photographed these beautiful designs every year because each year was always different. It's free though, no payment needed. These huge displays were just right to add a little stir to the festival.

Sinulog 2014 Celebration - the Mother of all Festivals in the Philippines

Yeebah!!! It's this time of the year again. Celebrated every 3rd Sunday of January, the SiNuLOG FeSTiVaL in Cebu City is considered to be the Mother of All Festivals in the Philippines. Woooahh! That's a lot to take in.

The Sinulog Festival has greatly evolved. During my childhood days I remember seeing the colorful parade without any hassle on the streets as well as going to the church, Basilica Minore del Sto . Nino, very smoothly. Now lots of things have changed. 

Exploring Surigao del Sur: The Gigantic Tinuy-an Falls

Tinuy-an Falls is probably the biggest and the widest waterfalls that I've ever seen in my existence. 

It is measured at 95m wide and 55m high and is more likely compared to the famous Niagra Falls.  The moment I laid my eyes on this magnificence it made me realized how glorious nature was. Everything was in the right place. My Surigao adventure never ends and surely there's more captivating sights yet to be found.

Exploring Surigao del Sur: Sibadan Fish Cage

From the enchanting Enchanted River in Surigao del Sur, this popular floating restaurant/fish hub/floating lodge known as the Sibadan Fish Cage was just a few minutes away by an outrigger boat. Sibadan Fish Cage can be reached by first passing through the Enchanted River, so while we were already there me and my berks decided to visit the famous place.

Exploring Surigao del Sur: The Enchanting Hinatuan Enchanted River

This was the first time I've been to Surigao del Sur. I don't think I would ever be here without my beautiful friend who resides in this place. The wonderful places in Surigao del Sur I would say were really hidden, cared under the embrace of mother nature. I've never realized how big and well known the place was until that moment.
