    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. While I admire my tribe’s diversity, youthfulness and relentless pursuit for happiness, I’m an introvert, and sometimes, these things drain my energy and curb my creativity.

    Laposlapos Cave: Venturing Into Carcar’s Magnificent Caverns

    There’s never a dull moment, when you’re with like-minded people who’s up for anything. Even in times when things seem bleak, these folks simply go with the flow, move on and see brighter side of every situation. And, with their undying positive spirit, they can ultimately uplift your mood, and make your adventure even unforgettable. For that reason, I always carefully handpick the people joining me, whenever I explore an unheralded and relatively unknown treasure, like Laposlapos Cave in Guadalupe Mabugnao Mainit Hot Spring National Park, Carcar. And though we didn’t have a plan beforehand, I still had a swell time in Carcar City, thanks to my charming and energetic…
