...all my life, I am searching for the missing piece of my soul, I had been to places trying to find the missing particle of me... how I couldn't see that all the answers to all my queries pointed straight to you... and indeed, you are the other half that makes me whole...

...buti pa sila...

ang tagal ko nang di nakapagpost at wala sana akong balak na magpost ngayon, kaya lang masyado akong nadala sa napanood ko kahapon... alam ko na marami sa ating nakapanood ng wowowee kahapon, naiyak ako sa segment ng willie of fortune, pero hindi dahil sa naaawa ako sa kalagayan nila sa buhay, bakit ako maaawa eh halos magkakapareho lang kaming mga hikahos, naiyak ako sa inggit sa mga kasali... mga ina kasi sila, pero hindi sila basta mga ina, kundi mga inang may malasakit sa kanilang mga anak, lumayo man sila sa kanilang mga anak iyon ay upang hindi takasan ang responsibilidad nila bagkus para harapin ito at ng mabigyan ng magandang buhay ang mga anak... sa kabila ng hirap at pagdurusa, hindi nila tinalikuran ang kanilang mga anak...

nakakainggit sila, pinaparamdam nila sa kanilang mga anak na maski malayo sila, mahal pa rin nila ang kanilang mga supling, kaya nilang tiisin ang hirap mailagay lang sa mabuting kalagayan ang mga anak...

masarap sa pakiramdam ng isang anak ang malaman na ang kanyang ina ay malayo man ay malapit pa rin, na kahit anong mangyari anak pa rin ang laging una sa kanya

ako kasi, di ko naranasan yun, kaya buti pa sila, alam nila ang pakiramdam na mahalin ng isang nanay

i survived the sagada challenges






first banaue, then bontoc then at last our main destination....dandaran....sagada!!!

the town of sagada, is what we called a special place, hahahaha, it is because of the atmosphere, the climate, the people and the beautiful spots

being in sagada is a combination of a modern style of living and the traditional ethnic practices, people will welcome you with warm smile

foods there were spectacular and will make you forget your diet, hahahahaha

but the best thing about sagada are the caves, and speaking of that, i experienced the what they called cave interconnection, huh, we spent 4 hours of cave adventure full of sweat and endless treck

but despite of that body ache that i got during that little adventure i enjoyed it, whew, and now i can truly say that "i came, i saw and i conquered the sagada challenges"

bontoc: the city in the mountain



yeah you read it right!!! bontoc is a city in the mountain, (although officially it is not yet a city), but bontoc is an amazing place. it is a prosperous town in the heart of the mountain that it can be mistaken as a city. as we were in road going to bontoc, i am expecting to see another rural town, but what i saw is a town with combination of cultural heritage and modern comfort of life...

bontoc is also amazing because of it's rice terraces which is part of the "rice terraces of the philippine cordilleras". it's fine climate also made me feel at home... i was also fascinated by their foods, specially the pinikpikan, hahaha, and hey, i also love the friendly people there, their warm gestures and welcoming smiles, well, for sure, i gonna comeback to bontoc...
