Fell In Love with Balete Falls

One of hidden paradise that can be found in the country is the Balete Falls in Amadeo Cavite. At first glance you’ll see a mansion (specifically the door’s wood carving) in the middle of mini terraces that will bring you to places where movies such as Hunger Games and Peter Pan do exist. 


However, what’s more to see is the beauty of  Balete Falls that makes it more even because of the quite and peaceful environment. 

Definitely it  is a place for relaxation, the caretaker himself admit that most of the visitors came just to hangout, enjoying the cool ambience of air and the ranging waterfalls crushing the river. It is a fine place to unwinnd and meditate, taking time to relax and even do a soul searching activity. 



When in Ocean Adventure…



            Ocean Adventure is a home for animals where people can enjoy watching different animals as they perform and trained by professionals. They offer activities and certain programs to their visitors that will surely inform them more about nature and wildlife. Usually their focus is more on sea creatures like dolphins, sea lion, turtles and more, but there are also domestic animals that are ready to perform on stage.

            
              Before roaming around the place, you’ll see stage performance featuring a “Kuya Kim like host” of the program presenting stories and information about the environment. Though it is a friendly entertainment show for kids, it is worth watching for any type of audiences because the content of the presentation really talks about saving the environment and how to be environment friendly at all times.



            What most exciting about Ocean Adventure is the presentation of different animals showing their skills trained by professionals. Pet/animal shows really never failed to hook the attention of the audiences. Like a sea lion who can do tricks, I never knew that they were so friendly until I saw them kiss one audience. Also dolphins were so great in their shows.The environment seems convenient and clean, also giving strict reminders not to litter and to observe cleanliness in the place, which is really a good thing for a theme park like this.



            Ocean Adventure will take you to a place where you will see that animals are learning as well as adopting in the environment. It is really a nice place to see especially for kids.

            Most of the time we often see flowers which is something that is always present in most of the occasion in our lives. Technically used for decorations or presence to someone special to us. They offfer more to our planet than just removing carbon dioxide and toxins in the air. To most people, mflowers carry enormous symbolism providing empathy to people’s life.

Some flowers are also good remedies however some of them can trigger allergies, so a person should be more careful this kind of circumstances.

            Flowers are meant to express gratitude towards someone, it can be a family member, a friend and lovers. Flowers are meant occasionaly.. 

A Place called Wild

It has been four years since I went to Zoobic Safari in Subic, a place for a so called wild animals. Zoobic is a place that will expose you to wild life and will let you know more about animals that we consider harmful that we can see rarely.
Here are some places/activities that Zoobic Safari offers to their visitors:
·         Animal MuZOOeum
Get ready to experience a long walk inside a dark cave while seeing relics and fossils of different wild animals.



·         Croco Loco
Want to see crocodiles, not just one but maybe hundreds? Well, Croco Loco will bring you a terrifying but exciting experience where you will be able to see alive crocodiles.


·         Tiger Safari
Tiger Safari is a must try kind of adventure. A ride from a tiger-proof jeepney plus a chance to see tiger closer will give you a jampacked thrill and fun.

Indeed, it is really a great adventure. It’s nice to see animals such as Tiger, Crocodiles and Monkeys that are being cared by responsible people in our society. 



Taal Never Dies

One of the most impressive volcano in the Philippines is the one and only Taal Volcano that can be found in Batangas. According to Volcano Discovery, it is one of the most active and dangerous volcano and recorded some of the countries largest and deadliest erruption. However, its beauty remains exeptional that’s why it is consider as one of the finest tourist spot in the country.
            Taal volcano is sorrounded by a lake and Tagaytay is also a perfect place to see its view even from afar. A place to relax; a phrase to describe the feeling when you’re in Tagaytay. A combination of cold temperature and greeny environment brings an ultimate comfort experience. You can do walking sesh, sightseeing, photoshoot, picnic, adventure and fun.  Also, a lot of parks offer different kind of “gimik” or activities to enjoy like zipline adventure.

            There are so many beautiful places in Batangas and the rest of Cavite where you can see the amazing view of Taal volcano.


A Trek to Cabag Cave

If you’re the type of person who loves to explore caves and to try a breathtaking hiking experience, then Cabag Cave is a must visit place and I guess you should have prepare yourselves for an extraordinary adventure you’ll never regret in your whole life.

Let’s say, our trip to Cabag Cave is a sudden trekking experience. It is my first time to let go of my umbrella for a walk under the sun but I have no choice but to wear my jacket though it is really hot. We had a 20 minute walk amidst the middle of the jungle plus another 20 minute crawling down the mountain to reach the Cabag Cave. Only five among our group including me accepted the challenge to go down to a muddy, steep and a bit risky path on the way to the cave. I admit it I was nervous at that time but I know that I’ll be miserable if I will not be able to see the Cabag Cave.



Half way there and the path gets more complicated, my shoes got dirty and my hands are muddy for I was holding the soil itself, I was sweating like I had  a 30 minute gym session. Half way there, when our tour guide told us that the following steps would be more difficult, I was thinking of backing-off but because I see the courage and the concern of my group mates with one another, I find it more inspiring, altrough the hiking I was praying to God for our safety.



Finally, the tension went down after hearing the water rushing down the cave. It was a relief to see the wonders of Cabag Cave, seeing the water falls down to the brook, looking and wandering what’s inside the cave. It was like a cave of secrets that is yet to unveil. Until now the depth of the river is not yet measured and it seems that only few had witnessed the place. We rested for about 20 minutes, and then prepared ourselves to climb up back to the top.



Calaruega Experience





"Close to Nature; Closer to God", this memorable quote tickled in my mind when we had a retreat in Calaruega, Nasugbu Batangas.The ambience of nature, mountains, landscapes, flowers, plains and gardens will surely give you the perfect peaceful experience. Wherever you look will remind you how great is God’s creation, letting you realize that you’re a caretaker to watch on his works. 

                                   



The retreat house is also a perfect venue for wedding. The place will take you to paradise like of eternity, especially when lights are open at night. Calaruega is also a nice place for the whole family, where they can relax and have great bondings, giving them a perfect time for them to have good conversations. 

                                           


                                    
  One of the favorite spot is the landscape garden that thrills for you to reach the place. Everything is sorrounded by green, and there is a pond with koi and other fishes, for you to enjoy the scenic eyeview of the garden, you may just sit at the bench and relax yourself a bit.
