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!

Trapped In Oras, Eastern Samar

Image
Oras is a pacific-facing town up the northern portion of Eastern Samar. This town's name is not pronounced like the Tagalog word for time. No, not like that! It is [o'ras] where the stress is in the second syllable. The speed and tone is like how you say the English words "alight", "chorale", "amass" or "awash". Okay, that's good enough, I know you got it! Uu da, oke na da it! Asya it! Yesterday, I was in the area checking on some work-related matters. Stayed overnight in this town as I haven't yet heard if accommodation facilities are available in San Policarpo or Arteche (these are the 3 northern-most towns of Eastern Samar). This morning, I was on my way to other nearby places, but.. I got trapped (happily) by a parade! That long white bridge behind them is the only way out south... A youngish set of town officials, I must say. Oh, the girl in the middle is not a muse. She is THE Mayor! But by the looks of it, she migh...

Hinatuan, A Quick Visit

Image
Happy (and thankful) to have seen the center of this town, even if I did not at all dream of being in the place yet! I only wanted to see Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted River which I thought were both in Bislig ! Only to find out that Enchanted River is even farther away than Hinatuan, from Bislig or Tinuy-an Falls! This place is out of the way if you come from anywhere in Bislig to the Enchanted River or vice-versa! So, how did I find myself here? Nag-detour? Well, I would like to think of this as some kind of a gift! An addition to my itinerary (at no extra cost), for lack of anything else to do and/or any place else to see! Why? Because we were moving too fast from place to place, because: I did not stay long at Tinuy-an Falls or Enchanted River.., because: there were just too many visitors that I did not enjoy it any longer! Whose fault? Mine! Lesson learned: DO NOT VISIT SURIGAO DEL SUR ON A HOLY WEEK! So.., because we were already done with Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted Ri...

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...
