Happy Halloween!!!

Saturday Saved The Best For Last #2

Horror movies, scary documentaries, weird costumes, candles - these are some of the manifestations of Halloween. It's that time of the year that people like scaring themselves.Here in the Philippines, most Filipinos pay tribute to their deads. A lot of them are flocked in cemeteries and are busy cleaning up the tombs and celebrating. Yes, you won't see them grieve over there. In fact, you will even see disco lights in some cemeteries. People bring buffet of foods and candles and flowers. This is also the time for family reunions.

I don't participate in such chaos because I am scared of getting suffocated in a crowded place. I would want to visit my loved ones' grave but definitely not on Halloween. I'd rather stay at home and watch movies or horror flicks. Or work, as the case may be.

I remember when I was a child, me and my friends gather in one of our neighbor's house and tell scary stories about ghosts, vampires, supernatural creatures like maligno or aswang (Filipino mythical creatures) . While we were focused on discussing and scaring our butts off, one would boo us (especially the older ones) and everybody screams! hahaha! Childhood days were really fun!

Trick or treat is not that common here in the Philippines especially in rural areas (well, not in our province). It would've been so much fun if we have that when I was a kid. I can stay up late gathering assorted candies and wear costumes with friends. I would've enjoyed some more scary times with my buddies. If I will have kids in the future, I'll let them do trick and treat! Hah! Wishful thinking!

Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Saturday Saved-The Best For Last #1

The Zip Line Experience!!!

My life seems to get boring lately. All I did this past few months is work and sleep and do movie marathons. It seemed like I've been trapped in this polluted city.

I miss breathing the fresh, clean air in the province. I miss doing outdoor adventures with friends back home.

It was a year ago when I went home to recuperate from tuberculosis. A week after feeling sick and bed ridden at home, me and my friend Nimfa along with her sister and friends decided to do an outdoor adventure in Camp Sabros which is located in Kapatagan - the Summer Capital of Digos City. It is where the longest Zip line in the country was built.

It was a nerve racking experience! Imagine? I was able to zip my way from one mountain to another! The Zip line was 380 meters long. And while you're zipping your way to the other mountain, it felt like flying and you're actually 180 ft high across the forest right below.

I paired with my cousin Jayson when I decided to zip! And to show you guys how it was, here's the video of our zip line experience!
