    Busagak Falls: Pinamungajan, Cebu’s Refreshing And Irresistible Cascade

    There are some people who thrive in chaos, and I’m definitely not one of them. Lately, my group hikes seem more of a pageant or a circus than a weekend escape, with all the different faces and wacky costumes.

Thankfully, I found the solution to my introverted needs in Pinamungajan,…

Even though I still had the energy and enthusiasm to hike a treacherous trail or explore a cave, I just felt like it was the perfect opportunity to rest my body. And besides, I’m the kind of guy who easily gets bored when I keep doing the same thing over and over again, meaning I need to spice things up from to time.  Not to mention, I had to spend quality time with my family and loved ones as well as celebrate…

    Toledo City Hike: An Adventure With A Meaningful Purpose

    Devastating hurricanes, crime sprees, racism and endless streams of online bashers – on the surface, the world seems a heated mess. Every time I open Facebook or turn on the television, I see violence, destruction, hate, greed and a whole lot of disturbing images. And sometimes, I feel like the human race is hopeless, with us becoming a serious threat to ourselves and everything around us. Yet, even with all the chaos, there’s an optimistic side in me – the one who loves to hike mountains – that the sees the world as a beautiful and serene place to live in.  And that beautiful side of me has just orchestrated…
