My Journey in Isabel;
Natural Falls Edition
(Isabel;Leyte, Philippines)
( This picture was taken in Isabel, Leyte, Philippines)
Its my picture perfect moment. The road represents my journey 'til I reached its end.
My ever refreshing moment in Busay Falls in Apale, Isabel, Leyte. Nature is within my reach. It feels like your in a fridge when you are in the water. I still remember that time I was afraid to swim into the pool at the bottom of the waterfalls because I thought that was deep down under. It was so funny that some of the kids swimming in the water that time got deep down easily. Later that moment, I gave myself a try, then I found out that the water is only on my shoulder line level. Then I made all the jumps, swimming on my own style, feeling like a duck on the water. Obviously, I don't know how to swim so I made all the checking before I jumped in. What a nature!. I had my moments in that heaven with so full of excitements 'till the next time I will be swimming in that paradise.
Swimming Shots; well, it took a minute before I jumped in the water. Congratulations! I made it! :)
I can swim? PERHAPS, breathtakingly!The next nature waterfalls destination was the Hunan Falls (some called it AKAY waterfalls). This is different from Apalle, because it has a space that you can hide into the falling water. The best thing you can do in here is to have a water massage depending on the water pressure you can catch at your back. Everything here was for free that time.The government in Isabel should have to develop the place for a tourist destination. Together with my friends and relatives, we were having a hard time reaching the falls for it has lots of bushes covered on our way, we're afraid of snakes, and I'm sure you're afraid of that kind of creature too. I myself had lots of complains about the path we took to reached the falls, but when we were there all that non-sense complains fade away for at the end I saw the paradise.
Down this waterfall, there are still lots of giants waterfall stations to choose. This one is the best for someone like me who are afraid of deep and hollow bottom and so with the rest of my companion. In fact, during my first time visiting this paradise I realized that was too short so I made to came back here three times. Its colder here than in Busay Falls, because it is covered with giant trees. Aside from experiencing the cold water, it has lots of interesting creatures surrounds it; such as different kinds of birds, small reptiles (no crocodiles and alligators) and insects.
I enjoyed climbing on the rocks formation which I thought at first that its slippery. Well, perfect smile on camera to have a picture perfect which serves as a souvenirs that I was here in this paradise and I can share to others how perfect and interesting the place was when I had my moments. It made so happy for me when I had my loved ones enjoying that once-in-a-blue-moon moment. The pictures I have here is my second time visiting the falls. The first was a bit scared for me to get into the water. Still have the mind of checking first before I do the swimming. Indeed, that was so amazing which made me kissed the water. I even forgot that time it was just a vacation and silly am I to think of not going home.Few hours I've stayed was a full of enjoyment to burst as the water pressure that made by the waterfalls. At the end of this second visit was another plan of going back. I felt happy to hear about it, but that was a farewell party. Some of my relatives are from Manila, like me they were having a vacation too. As the day ends that day, I'm still excited to come back again even if that was a long day of enjoyment. Well, It only means that I love the place so much.
On the third time, I made all the moments. Sliding on the water flow that made my shorts torn on each side. I jumped on the low cliff on the side of the pool. I feel the coldness of the water since that was a farewell and I don't know when I will be going back again to experience the place which I already called "a paradise". The best happening that time was that we were merrier since some of our friends joined us. And also, not to forget the native foods as our ''baon''.
The happiness I made that moment was priceless. As that day ended, I made a wish on the water that when I come back to that place, I hope that it will be preserved as the way I had my moments. I wish that it is still a paradise for the years to come. I can resist the lively songs of the water and its pressure which gave me a perfect massage. A nature full of life. I can't wait to see you again. (All of these memories happened on August 18 - September 3, 2012)
Its hello Cebu again, living my life with lots of adventures to face. The adventure about life.
Thank You ISABEL! 'till we meet again.
