Witchcraft. Slightly spoilt beaches. Refreshing waterfalls. Mysterious sanctuaries. Exploratory caves. Interesting forest walks in hilly interior. These are the words-of-mouth from people who have just visited Siquijor, which made my wandering feet dream to step foot one day. Several plans penned mentally yet none happened until a group of travelers, Destination Dream (DNDM), posted their … Continue reading A Glimpse of the Mystic Island of Siquijor

Yeah, … Continue reading Letting Loose at Olango Island: A Budget-Friendly Weekend Getaway
Adventure is… Leaving Your Comfort Zone for Mt. Talinis (Apolong-Bediao Trail)
Barely calling ourselves as mountaineers with our few years of hiking experience, we ever dreamt of leveling up. What happens next was really an epic – somewhat a failure for not reaching Mt. Talinis’ summit but an overall success for our safe descent. Admitted to having not properly prepared for the climb, this serves as … Continue reading Adventure is… Leaving Your Comfort Zone for Mt. Talinis (Apolong-Bediao Trail)
Exploring Alegria: From Mt. Lanaya to Cambais Falls
Would you dare to have an overnight stay in a place known for supernatural stories? Trying to be brave, the team - Tribu Adobo (adorable bonding) - with some joiners explored the mountain of Lanaya in Alegria. I can somehow attest to that as I’ve been there once this year. Everything was set and we … Continue reading Exploring Alegria: From Mt. Lanaya to Cambais Falls
Traverse From Kandungaw Peak to Lugsangan Casino Peak: When Avatars Invade
Discern on what you think and how you feel. For words outspoken can either break or make a reputation. You shouldn’t judge books by their cover because, in the first place, they are not books but avatars. Kidding! Belittle your self-inflicted instincts or you will just end up recuperating from the excruciating … Continue reading Traverse From Kandungaw Peak to Lugsangan Casino Peak: When Avatars Invade
A Road Trip to Bukidnon: Heading North With the Family
“How much have you traveled your hometown?” A random person messaged me once. That very question left me pondering for some time. Later did I know I was actually a tourist of my own hometown.

Quenching My Thirst for Nature: Mt. Capistrano Day Hike
As per request by a friend. Here’s my first climb experience in Bukidnon more than a year ago. Enjoy the read. 🙂

| Mt. Capistrano |
 |
| Jump-Off Point |
Knowing Bukidnon as home for famous mountains and mountain ranges, I would be depriving myself of what it can offer me if I’ll go back to Cebu without climbing one of them. Who would have thought they were awaiting for me in my own hometown. Since I would only have limited number of days to stay, I will take the challenge one at a time, and Mt. Capistrano is a good start for this year. Lucky enough, I have a friend/schoolmate who’s also into outdoor activities.

| With my friend/schoolmate who serve as one of my guides |
I have learned that rocky Mt. Capistrano is notable among the small mountains in the province, which is visible in the highways of Malaybalay City. It towers an average of 2,000 feet above sea level and humbly crowned with…
