Life is a Joni

I never thought that my ascent to the country's highest mountain was something to be followed. And this time, the second highest--- Mt. Dulang-dulang ! Part of Kitanglad Range , this mountain is considered sacred by the natives. It is believed to be inhabited by spiritual beings thus due respect must be rendered by those who want to behold its beauty. Our team was composed of almost the same people. One thing that changed, though, was my travel buddy. Vem was already working in Cebu. Fortunately, I found a new one. Introducing In-in ! Although they are somehow different but both girls love adventures and nature escapade, not to mention that they're both beautiful. Therefore, it's totally not a big deal and I knew that we'll surely gel well. Since it was my second time, I was quite confident of myself. Like my Mt. Apo climb, I never did exercises or any physical preparations, hah a. Although I'm not an athletic person but I can say that my ...

One of Davao's pride when it comes to nature adventure is Eden Park and Resort . Located at Mt. Talomo, Toril , this place is not that hard to travel. In fact, if you don't own a car, you can reach it by riding a sidecar motorcycle. There are many of them waiting at the highway. It was Callbox Davao 2nd Anniversary celebration when I first went there. We stayed overnight at their Campsite . It's an ideal setting for group activities and recreation. There are several huts around. Trees are everywhere, birds are still in numbers---definitely a return to nature. We arrived past midday and right after we set up tents and unload our baggage, action immediately started. We had a lot of games and challenges. Group members were randomly selected. Everybody had a great time. By night, after dinner, activities still continued. We had a bonfire and few people were surprisingly put in a hot seat to answer random questions from anybody. I knew I had to save myself...

How many beaches the Philippines has? Nobody knows. With its long stretch of sands, I guess they're too many to be counted. But if we are to name some, who would miss to mention Boracay ? Like, look at the magazines, travel blogs and guide books, this beach is well-publicized that almost everybody knows about it. Whether we are looking for an adventure, exciting nightlife, a luxurious vacation or a simple break during weekend, this surely is the place to be! I was fortunate enough to be part of our company event which brought us to this world-renowned beach for 2 days and 1 night. And take note, all-expense-paid ! Of course, we took every chances we could have when we were there. We did island hopping , banana boating, wall climbing, and everybody's favorite, eating ! As it gets darker, life in Boracay becomes more exciting. More and more people leave their rooms and populate the bars. Dancing lights are everywhere. Nightlife in Bora...
