Caunayan Falls Of San Luis
We left Mama Nene's transient house to proceed to our next destination. The original plan is to take us all in the white sand beach of Digisit and then experience crossing the hanging bridge (also in Baler). We were also aiming to visit the Ditumabo Falls (also known as the Mother Falls) but we encountered something unexpected that changed our plans completely.
The bridge that supposed to take us to our destination was unfortunately utterly damaged by the recent typhoon making it non-passable. We were all dismayed but our tour guide (Sir Efren) took us to a hidden gem of Baler which is equa ... -
Baler Escapade
I started availing those package tour online last February when I attended the Panagbenga Festival and went to Baguio with no family or friends to accompany me (Check : A Trip to Baguio : Panagbenga Festival). Although I cannot consider it as a solo travel since I am with other groups, I still consider it a huge milestone on my end since I was able to conquer my fear to travel outside my hometown. Since then, my feet are always itching for adventure, I am always craving for a new journey and I am always eager to explore anything beyond my expectations. I became a weekend traveler but I only li ...

Exploring Baler Part 2
As I've promised on my last Baler blog post, here's the story on our second day on Baler!
DISCLAIMER: This post is going to be long, better take your comfortable chair and enjoy!
Ever since I was a kid I always love to watch sunrises and sunsets. So I didn't let this trip passed without seeing one. But unfortunately, I woke up to the sounds of roaring waves of the ocean and waited a little longer for Mr. Golden Sun to show up but there's no sun that day.
Instead of being gloomy myself just like the weather that day, I asked my friends to take a photo walk at the beach that morning.

Kuli kuli Adventures
A couple of weeks ago I got a tip from fellow photographer Jaymar about this other waterfalls in L. Pimentel, so we planned to go there and take pictures. I also decided to have a brief detour to Banju Springs in Brgy. Real, a tourist destination with very few online presence. So I posted an announcement in the Aurora Camera Club FB page about the trip and some group members responded. The date was set to Sunday, September 1. The meeting place was at the Quezon Park and I went there early to chek what's new at the Museo de Baler ??" nothing. I saw Von and Mato waiting for me when I got out of ...
