hello Pam! 

still looking great!

we arrived at 11:30am and ate lunch and yay off to the inviting 

cold water for a swim.

 ice cold water, so refreshing for a very humid day!

enjoying the water rush~ 

trekking back was really tiring. 

we called the motorcycle driver to fetch us and told him to 

drop us at Hoyohoy. 

I'am a beach lover! 

last bond for the next few months with the lover :/

Love for Cats

 

I was inspired to write a blog about my cats 

because of Kai Darul's post about her lil' cute kitties.

I love cats ever since, I could still remember we 

had 15 stray cats back then.  As of now I have 5 stray cats

 1 Siamese and 2 half Siamese cats.

Upper Left: Sugar & Santana; Upper Right: Santana & Pokemon

Lower Left: Misty; Lower Right: Quinn

Samantha "SAM" Jones

Lower Left: Luna; Lower Right: Bianca

If some names are familiar to you, well, I'm a GLEEK! :)

I got their names (Quinn, Sugar & Santana)  from the TV series "Glee". 

Also I got the name Samantha Jones from the 

TV series  "Sex and the City".

And if you happen to see the TV program by GMA 7 got the idea Luna, Bianca

since Luna is all black like the kid from the show. 

I love them all, but our favorite are Sam and her two babies (Luna & Bianca)

Sam was just a gift from the owner of the Resort where I stayed in Boracay. He can't 

really take good care of Sam since he has 3 dogs in the resort that really hate cats.

If you want a quiet cat, well, a Siamese cat isn't for you.

they're very noisy and loud. They are really playful and demanding of attention.

And lastly, if you want to sleep with them make sure your pillow

is big, cause they want to sleep on it too. :)

 

Playtime with her cute kitties! <3

Dodiongan Falls

Dodiongan Falls

Located at Brgy. Bonbonon, Iligan City, 14km away from the city proper.

How to get here?

1. Ride a Dalipuga/ Sta. Felomina jeepney, tell the driver to drop you off to 

Barinaut crossing. ( Fare: 7php)

2. From there you can see lots of single motorcycle/ "habal-habal", tell the 

driver that you want to go to Dodiongan Falls. (Fare: 30php/head)

* NOTE: you can tell the motorcycle driver to pick you up,
there is no cellphone signal
so be sure to tell the time you want the driver to be back.

first glimpse of the way will be trekking, honestly i'm a bit nervous.

it's like a disaster thanks to Typhoon Sendong for the damages!

We just followed a tip from a blog about Dodiongan to follow the

river path to lead us to the falls.

and yes we did, it's a ROCKY ROAD i must say!

many of our friends warned us that the way is dangerous because

of the damages of Sendong, but it didn't stopped us...

at the end of the river, yes a beautiful site awaits us,

it was a breathtaking view, in my mind i was like

"it's all worth it"

we ate lunch then after we took some photos,

yes these are my adventuremates LOL!

highschool friends and of course the boyfriend.

our background is so lovely!

it's not easy to climbed that rock! 

well for the sake of the beautiful waterfalls.

hahaha! 

Ending the Last Day of Summer RIGHT! 

Lesson Learned about the Experience:

"Don't be afraid to take an unfamiliar path,

sometimes they're the ones that take you

to the best places" ♥

Pampam Falls

Pampam Falls

Another best way to enjoy summer is to visit one of the 

23 waterfalls here in my home town, Iligan City

Pampam Falls is located at Kalubihon Brgy. Dalipuga, Iligan City

you can take a jeepney ride and just ask the driver to drop you off at the

crossing of Kalubihon.

(motorcycle ride)

from there you can ride a single motor / "habal-habal"

just tell them you're going to the falls, automatically 

they will drop you off near in the Kalubihon Elementary School.

Then just ask some locals there where you can pass to go to the waterfalls.

Lucky for us, one of the locals is so kind to be our

tour guide since it's our first time.

It's a 15-20 mins. walk from the school crossing.

Though it's tiring to walk for 18mins.

but it's all worth it. 

The beautiful nature welcomed us

with a very nice view.

Guys, meet Pampam falls. :)

isn't she beautiful? 

the falls is very inviting and it's really cold! 

it's a very nice place to relax!

really, just enjoying the gift of Mother Earth.

of course we couldn't not just go home 

without taking some remembrance 

to that place.

It's my boyfriend's gift/promise to take me here

for our 3rd monthsary.

yes.. it's our 90th day! LOL 

Happy Day! <3

Divine Mercy Shrine

Divine Mercy Shrine

It is located at El Salvador, Misamis Oriental

the city is just near in Cagayan de Oro and an almost 2 hour buss drive 

from Iligan City.

It's easy to locate just tell the buss driver to drop you off to the 

Divine Mercy shrine, from there you have to ride a Singe Motorcycle or "habal-habal"

for 20php and you can text them to pick you up.

It was my boyfriend's idea to take me here,

since I was too busy with my online job.

(the reason why I haven't blogged)

Girls have to wear skirt, well you can rent a skirt at the 

main entrance for only 10php.

This is a perfect place to Pray, Meditate and to escape from reality.

The best view here is the 50ft. statue of Jesus Christ.

JESUS I TRUST IN YOU!!

Lawis River

in a sunny afternoon my boyfriend took me to this place..

cause I was demanding that he will look 

for a place that is peaceful :))

well, there it is! 

Lawis River.. yes the place is not yet that developed,

but its perfect place for nature lovers!

enjoying each others company in cold breezy afternoon <3
