Puting Bato Mountain Resort

Mount Putting Bato is considered as the highest peak in Island Garden City of Samal. It is located in Sitio Tayapoc, Barangay Alindanao. I went up to this mountain without a better preparation. No sleep and no enough things for the hike just a bottle of water, a camera and a towel. The entire trek was fine since it is easy to get there. I was not just prepared for that bumpy ride from Peñaplata to Sitio Tayapoc. I am telling you the long bumpy ride is much more a muscle pain than climbing to the top. You will pass by grasses and cows, so better wear something that will protect your legs and hands.

Hagimit Falls

It is past noon. As I decided to go straight to Hagimit Falls after my breathless climb and ride from Mount Putting Bato. I cannot explain why it took me this long to finally visit a nearby island's most visited tourist spot, Hagimit Falls. The road going to the falls has been developed by local government which makes it an easy 5 minutes ride from bus terminal. It is a long walk from the entrance to Hagimit rock spring but quite relaxing because of nature's ambiance. After reaching the end of the path walk, I am not that impress because I thought it is all that it can offer, until I roam around. Though it has been developed and a lot of cottages, bridges and even spa are built within the vicinity, the running water and its natural beauty is still preserve. Its waters are bluish and inviting. The strong current of water falling from the falls is simply saying "come take a swim". The swimming area does not have even depth that is why swimmers need to take extra precautions. The lower deck swimming area reaches up to 10 feet while the upper deck is up to 7 feet deep and its layer is higher than the one below. But not only that an interesting view and I call it soulful can be found just behind the cottages where the water is passing to a rain forest. It is a wide area of rock spring. A must see magical place.

Can I write these things up?

Can I write these things up? I kept on staring at nowhere. I do not believe in information overload in relative to how much I have been thinking nowadays. I am not getting crazier each day but I am getting too much of everything I do not know. Or maybe I know but I could not weight which one is much important. As of this moment I am not capable of spending on anything that I don’t have or want to have. I still have to wait two months, but can I sustain and delay my impulsive being? Nothing has changed over the past years I still failed in planning. I was thinking if I did wrong in helping out my family in small way I could and left nothing because of giving chance to the gratitude that I always feel I have responsibility with. Why it is so hard to survive when every little thing you have needs to be shared?

While writing these random thoughts, I was listening to the song “Taking Chances”.

But what do you say to taking chances?

What do you say to jumping off the edge?

Never knowing if there's solid ground below or hand to hold, or hell to pay…

As a confused one, after those lines, it is really strong and right to say, “I just wanna start again…

On the RoAd

I have billion of reasons why I rather stay on the road with all the inconveniences than stay at home with a wandering mind. You will never see how perfect things really are unless you appreciate every beauty that God created. Over and over again, I am blessed to have witnessed these beauties. I know there are a lot more to come as long as my eyes are ok and as long as I can still support this vice.
