Hugot sa Abang Falls (When in Bangui)

Sabi nila, ang pag-ibig daw ay dapat inaabangan kahit gaano man katagal, kasi ang pag-ibig ay matiyaga, mapagkumbaba, hindi humihingi ng kapalit at marunong maghintay. 

Sabi ko naman, ang pag-ibig ay isang malaking pagsasayang ng oras kung wala ka nang ibang ginawa kundi maghintay. 

Yaman din lamang at nadako na tayo sa mundo ng pag-ibig, ating sariwain mga ala-ala sa Abang Falls ng Bangui kasama ang mga hugot lines ng ating mga pusong sawi.

Para akong bato kasi lagi na lang akong nasa baba mo. Hindi makaakyat, hindi kakayanin ang bigat.

Ganito na lang ba lagi? Hanggan sulyap na lang sa iyong ganda? Hanggang talsik na lang iyong pag-asang may tayong dalawa?

 Pagbalibaliktarin mo man ang mundo, sa iyo pa din mahuhulog ang puso ko. Ang gravity of the earth at inertia of the planets ay walang sinabi sa paghila mo sa katawang tao ko.  (pick-up line!)

Oo na, oo na , ikaw na ang maraming manliligaw! Pero sana hindi mo ako pinaasa kasi ang sakit sakit na. Oo, maganda ka nga sa labas pero iyong kalooban mo, bulok, lanta, inuuod. 

 Pangako mo sa akin noon, ako lang. Maliwanag na sa akin ang lahat. Ako lang ang nasasaktan. Ako lang ang binbalewala. Ako lang ang iniiwan. 

 Ang relationship ay parang ABANG falls -may mga levels. 

Level 1: Infatuation; Level 2: Intimacy; Level 3: Breakup

At sa lahat ng levels, bakit ba favorite mo ang level 3?

Ikaw ay parang tubig sa Abang - nanlalamig. 

Foggy with a Chance of Rainballs (When in Dumalneg)

It was March 26 when we drove all the way to Dumalneg. It took us 2 hours from DWCL to reach the town amidst the rain and under construction roads. We actually rode on motorbikes. (*insert butt-numbing emoji)

Mr. Sun has risen

We initially thought that the rain won't stop but after an hour of eating kakanin and watching our student and his family doing that 'karas', it finally stopped. At around 11, we drove to Brgy. Ar-aro-o and couldn't shut our mouth because of its stunning beauty. (On your way, it's normal to see kids diving into the cali/irrigation or whatever it's called. The water is so clear, I must tell!)

Here you go!

The trip won't be complete without the penetrating cold swim! Let's go!

To tell you honestly, it is the best river I've ever visited. Place is peaceful, has few tourists, windy, you can even jump from the cliff, do photoshoot, current is not strong, behold the mountains around and pick some mysterious stones as a souvenir. Anyway, they charge an entrance fee of Php 10.00. and there are comfort rooms so you can change into your swimsuits and swimGOWNS anytime. I did not ask for the fee because I feel comfortable undressing in public. Charot.

After swimming, we also relaxed under the shady pine trees and if you didn't yet realize, the brgy is called ar-aro-o- because of the pines. Ar-aro-o is the Iluko term for pine trees.

 How are you? I am pine.

 White dress would be better.

To conclude, the weather is not an obstacle rather a chance to be fearsome.
