Raphy @ 33

Celebrated my 33rd birthday at the Badiangon COld Spring resort with Rhon's family. One of my most unforgettable birthday celebrations. I wont get tired going back to this place.

Tiklas Falls

Cold Spring Swimming Pool: One of nature's amenities aside from the falls itself.

I think this was the day wherein we're already out of ideas as to where to go and we're about to leave in a couple of days. We've been dying to go to this place but we don't have that much time and going there takes a lot of guts and energy for there were rumors that rebels lurk within its vicinity. Well anyway, due to our persistence, we still paved our way through the mountains going to this destination. Thanks to Tatay's trustworthy motorcycle coz we got there safe. The falls, the view, and the bountiful nature were simply breath-taking.

One More Month before our 2nd Year

We prepared some food for this special day though we got dismayed about the customized special cheese cake coz its topping/frosting melted, i guess the hot day is to be blamed for that, but we all had fun of course.

with Michelle and Pao, two of Rhon's closest friends in his place....

OMG, there's a real JOHNNY bRAVO!

Badiangon Cold Spring Beach Resort

These water pipes are connected underneath this water bed and from it comes the refreshing mountain cold spring water 

Malayo ang tingin...wala namang tinatanaw. Hehehehe, emote lang..

Awesome threesome: Tatay Rudy, Nanay Rosie and Rhon

You can see from here how shallow the water is coz its already 4PM

Floating cottages lined up with the marshes. The wooden support of these cottages can be visible during low tide at late afternoons. And during low tide, you can go walk as far as you can in the middle of the beach, so shallow that you can walk a mile from the shore to the middle with knee-deep water only. Amazing!

Wondering why there is a mini stairway here? It used to be part of a cottage about 20 years ago which got washed out by fierce waves during a raging storm. And only this staircase survived it. That's according to Tatay Rudy.

The Oblation ba 'to???
