Candidly, I got shocked when I saw the new look of Mag-Aso Falls while comparing what it looks like 5 years ago. I still remember the beautiful twin cascades of it with a beautiful backdrop of well grown trees. And seeing Mag-also falls with its new look, I feel happy since I got the chance to see its beauty before and now. Presently, Mag-aso falls has now own a wide catching basin, which looks like a big ravine with a natural pool. The falls may look smaller now, but Its beauty is still worth seeing and its natural pond is truly tempting that you’ll definitely love to take a dip in its cold water.

Personally, going around this Coral Garden was like walking around during Autumn season in another country. Likely because of the stunning color of this ground creeping plant that makes you feel like you’ve unlocked your bucket list of experiencing autumn. Truly, it’s a rare sight that offers a breathtaking view. It’s probably a nature’s way of letting us know that they work mysteriously and amazing. #CoralGardenLoonBohol #LoonBohol #BeholdBohol #TatakC3 #ig_philippines #ig_philippines_ #pinasmuna #tuklas_pinaskalikasan #shareph #travelph #choosephilippines #wanderlust #ForumSession #fotografiaunited #welivetoexplore #traversePhilippines #goph #grammerph #VPinoy #goprojectph #vscophilippines #instatravel #knowcebu #gphwander #whatstoloveph.

I came to a point in life where I realize that happiness is not just a thing, but everything. It moves mysteriously, which makes us feel complete and whole. If I were to ask again, what would I want to become in 5 years from today? I would still feed you my honest answer, and that is to always choose happiness and "Be Happy". Truly, the world might be that chaotic to live in, but when you embrace happiness; you'll come to realize that the world you lived in, is not the chaotic world you knew about. Hence, today, as I celebrate my 27th birthday, I won't be asking anything and celebrate grandiosely, but knowing that I'm genuinely happy, it's more than anything I could ask for. More than any gifts I receive from the people I love and for those who loved me without hesitation and doubt. I'm really grateful for all the greetings I received in advance and even for the late greetings. Bear in mind that your greetings are such a precious gift that money can't buy. Thus, allow me to thank you all for simply caring and thinking about my special day. May we all choose to be "HAPPY" despite the battles we are facing everyday. Above all, I want to thank God for everything that He entrusted me with. I know that without Him, I wouldn't be the person I am at present. Kahibaw ko nga tiguwang nako, ug angay na mag minyo kuno. Unya ug Kinsa to manungog nga mag minyo nako, Hala minyuan gyud teka basta sabot ta, ug na ah ta anak tabangi ko palit ug gatas hahaha. #thelittlelai #27thBirthday #Happy #Blessed

We started seeing the perfect sunset hue as it reflects on a vast rice terraces which welcome us as we nearly get to the base of Mt. Tres Marias. #thelittlelai #BiliranIsland#MountainClimbing #RiceTerraces #TatakC3 #ig_philippines #ig_philippines_ #pinasmuna #tuklas_pinaskalikasan #shareph #travelph #choosephilippines #wanderlust #ForumSession #fotografiaunited #welivetoexplore #traversePhilippines #goph #grammerph #VPinoy #goprojectph #vscophilippines #instatravel #knowcebu #gphwander #whatstoloveph.

Tinago Falls is peacefully situated in the Municipality of Linamon, Lanao Del Norte, and very close to the City of Iligan. This waterfall might have been fanning out its name around and outside the Philippines, but still left in its innate state. Its name is inferred from the Filipino word “tinago”, which means “hidden”, because the falls is hidden in a deep ravine and surrounded by lush scenery green forest. But since it has been accessible to many, this waterfall is no longer a hidden jewel. But before you can finally see its astounding beauty, you have to go down by treading on the 500-steps winding staircase, which made it easy, but going back would be a real challenge. As we reach down, I was amazed because it is naturally destitute of any sign of commercialization, which made me happy. There were a bunch of travelers during our visit, some went swimming and some just took some photos of the Falls and leave. There are also cottages built near the waterfalls to accommodate visitors. #thelittlelai #TinagoFallsIligan #IliganCity #TatakC3 #ig_philippines #ig_philippines_ #pinasmuna #tuklas_pinaskalikasan #shareph #travelph #choosephilippines #traveleverafter #wanderlust #ForumSession #VictosGuild #snopinas #fotografiaunited #welivetoexplore #traversePhilippines #goph #grammerph #VPinoy #goprojectph #vscophilippines #instatravel #knowcebu #gphwander #whatstoloveph.

I slowly open my innocent eyes; it was very dark, and what a dim light there was seemed to be radiating from your skin. I couldn't see your face, just your back as you walked away from me, leaving in the blackness of your mystery. Persistently chasing you with my bare feet on the ground. And No matter how fast I ran, I couldn't catch up to you; No matter how loud I called, you never turned. I was troubled - I couldn't figure out what had just happened. Then, I heard something strange. It was a high - pitched screech, and it was fast becoming painfully loud, I try to cover my ears to pacify myself from a sudden fear I felt at the moment. I looked up, startled. Moment after, I saw various things simultaneously - wrapped in semblance that gives me confusion. And, nothing was moving even in a slow motion, everything was seemed to freeze, the way it does in the movies. At that time, the adrenaline rush seemed to make my brain work much faster, and I was able to absorb in clear detail several things at once. But, I felt tired, very tired. I was breathing laboriously, it seems like I had a long walk for quite some time. I saw myself standing in the middle of nowhere, and I knew deep down - something isn't right at the moment. Opposss - I will continue the story soon 😍. Lemme know if you want to know what happened next 😀. Yay, I want to write a Novel lol 😄. #thelittlelai #ShortStory #Dimlight #Novel

The Lake Danao Natural Park is peacefully situated in the lush scenery green forest which makes the place cold when you get there. It is stunningly hiding at 650 MASL and known for having a guitar-shaped lake when you try to capture an aerial view of it. The lake actually serves as a source of water to at least 7 towns in Eastern Leyte, and also an irrigation to some of the rice lands in some of the Municipalities of the Province of Leyte. The Lake naturally owns a cool environment, stunning view and clean waters which makes it a postcard perfect picture of serenity and peace. #thelittlelai #LakeDanaoNaturalPark #OrmocCity #TatakC3 #ig_philippines #ig_philippines_ #pinasmuna #tuklas_pinaskalikasan #shareph #travelph #choosephilippines #traveleverafter #wanderlust #ForumSession #VictosGuild #snopinas #fotografiaunited #welivetoexplore #traversePhilippines #goph #grammerph #VPinoy #goprojectph #vscophilippines #instatravel #knowcebu #gphwander #whatstoloveph.

When trees drop their leaves does it always mean the end of their natural beauty? When winter approaches toward them and they barely receive sunlight accompanied by the growing coldness of the space that surrounds them, does it always mean - trees worried as well? We humans are like trees; when we get old, we leave the things that make us whole, our outside appearance and what makes us confident are slowly fading like a thousand bubbles floating in the air while tardily losing their natural and distinctive beauty. #thelittlelai #OldTree #TatakC3 #ig_philippines #ig_philippines_ #pinasmuna #tuklas_pinaskalikasan #shareph #travelph #choosephilippines #traveleverafter #wanderlust #ForumSession #VictosGuild #snopinas #fotografiaunited #welivetoexplore #traversePhilippines #goph #grammerph #VPinoy #goprojectph #vscophilippines #instatravel #knowcebu #gphwander #whatstoloveph.

Mandahunog Cave and Spring is located in Brgy. Tabuan, Antequera, Bohol which consists of flowing water and a fresh water. It is alleged to be a local favorite place for summer season since the water is cold enough to mollify someone’s body from the clinging heat of the sun. The spring is actually coming from the inner part of the cave that flows down to the river, which appears to be really magical and awe-inspiring sight to behold. #thelittlelai #MandahunogCaveAndSpring #AntequeraBohol #BeholdBohol #TatakC3 #ig_philippines #ig_philippines_ #pinasmuna #tuklas_pinaskalikasan #shareph #travelph #choosephilippines #traveleverafter #wanderlust #ForumSession #VictosGuild #snopinas #fotografiaunited #welivetoexplore #traversePhilippines #goph #grammerph #VPinoy #goprojectph #vscophilippines #instatravel #knowcebu #gphwander #whatstoloveph.

I wasn't able to see the street dancing and the wild crowd while shouting whenever there are artists passing by the streets. Merely, I'm glad that I was able to experience Sinulog 2019 the other way. I met new friends, and never did I find it drudgin' the whole time I'm with them. It was also my first time to experience Sinulog Festival with a boat load of food to enjoy. From one house to another household, and it's all about food on the table to ingest. Truly, it was literally a feast not just for the eyes to enjoy, but for my stomach as well. And to perfectly surcease my Sinulog 2019, I went to Cebu Business park to watch the beautiful festival of lights. Indeed, it was another memorable Sinulog Festival I've had. I thought that I would have ended walking around entirely by myself, but the heaven has sent angels so that my Sinulog Festival experience wouldn't be boring at all. Shout out to my newly found friends yesterday, you guys are more than just amazing. #thelittlelai #SinulogFestival2019 #PitSenyor
