Malajog Leisure Park Resort


Because I was in Calbayog, and (unfortunately for me!) a friend knew about it, she requested that I go check-out this resort for her. It wasn't clear to me (I didn't ask much) if this resort was just opened or about to open or some parts refurbished. I just went in, looked for the contact person given - at 7AM!
And I said "okay done" then sent those pictures above to her! For my comments, I said "good enough", the rooms are "basic" nothing fancy nor elegant, and they're dull concrete boxes viewed from outside.

Oh this was also requested, so I added: the swimming pool is wide and looks great! I said I have to go!

Unbeknownst to the requestor, I did not actually leave immediately! I stayed a while for a one-on-one interview and photo shoot with the only living thing I saw at the pool area! Remember, 7AM pa lang e!
Can you see him? her? it? If you can't, focus on the first step of the stairs to the jacuzzi! Brown & Cute!

Ahhhw, it wanted to go up, but could only manage to clamber up to the first step. I did not dare put it up to the jacuzzi's rim as it might jump unto the water. I instead kept talking, as if it would respond :)
Of course I knew this was a one-sided interview, all I could hear as response was some yelping. Arrgh!

I could see in its eyes, it was sad and lonely and disappointed and just not happy at all...
Driver said "sir, tara na, magsisimula na meeting nyo, malayo pa ang city" (that is about 16 kilometers away). I said "anay nag-iistorya pa kami"! He laughed saying "bumaton ngani iton, malilisang ka gud"!

After minutes of our "one-sided interview" (eh it wasn't responding at all, or just letting out sporadic soft yelps), this cute cuddly puppy stood up and walked to the side of the big and ground-level pool.

Sinundan ko! And it seemed not bothered by my presence at all. It paused and looked at the water...
OMG! Me and driver were alarmed the little thing might actually jump into the water and drown haha!

But no it did not! It instead went to the pool's foot bath and drank the water from there, with gusto!

Relieved, driver and I understood, that it wanted to drink water from the jacuzzi, that's why it tried to climb up the stairs. While we were talking, the little one was looking at me as if to say "ito gusto ko"!

Then it contentedly rested and snoozed-off beside that foot bath... oh a little bundle of softness!

I was still shooting some more pics when the driver, as if alarmed, called out to me saying "sir sir sir, atras atras, aadi na an iya iroy it nga sigbin"! The mother dog looked as if sizing me up. Aw, atras ako!

And to the city hall we went for my 9AM meeting!

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Image
Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d

Balantak Falls

Image
I haven't heard about this waterfall until I was already moments away from being there! And I have no regrets whatsoever. Ah, sometimes, beautiful surprises do happen to my itchy feet. Sometimes haha! For me who had seen many a waterfall, this one would seem nothing to shout to the world about. But being there was mesmerizingly refreshing enough. How tall is it? I'm not sure, but see my habal-habal driver on lower ground and compare his height to that of the waterfall. You should get a hint, at least! Discovering Balantak Falls How I found-out about Balantak Falls ! I was in Brgy. Guirang (pronounced gi-rung) in Basey Samar, for another round of "work-related work"! While walking-around by the entrance to the barangay's main residential area, I happened to see this: A fairly new hut and open on all sides, so I asked them what it is. They said it's a waiting shed. I asked further 'who would wait here' since I knew there are no commuter jeeps in t

THE Ride from Tuguegarao to Sta. Ana

Image
Alrightee folks! I traveled from Tuguegarao to the northern-most town of Cagayan Valley, that is, Sta. Ana. And, Oh My Gee! I never expected this "mode" of transportation! It was a van, yes. The type and style that we call "UV Express" all over the country. But not the usual that I have seen, even in the more remote areas of the Visayas and Mindanao. This ride was on a piece of "flying junk" hahaha! It started like this... the night before I check-out at Hotel Roma, I asked the friendly front desk staff if there was a better way to go to Sta. Ana. than riding the bus. The very helpful suggestion was, I ride the vans instead of the bus, because, they are purportedly faster and more comfortable. Okay, I thought I would do just that. Staff even told me to remind them during check-out that I'm taking a UV Express commute to Sta. Ana. I did just that. The eager staff went out with me to front of the hotel. He hailed a trike for me and gave instructions t
