Simple Life

Life in the province is very simple. It is extremely different from the life in the city. Though there are many job opportunities in the city, but, every move you will make needs money. Unlike in the province, the lifestyle is so simple. Even though there is a scarcity of job, yet if you only persevere and use your resourcefulness, then you will never get hungry. Just like these few people in the picture, they are not there just to enjoy but to look for shells or anything that can be served for dinner. You do not need to look for an employer, everything needed for meals are just there around the corner all you have to do is to be an industrious, work hard and be contented.

The moon

Many times I tried to take picture of the moon specially when there is a star near it. Of all the moon's picture that I took, never did I get a clearer one. But this time, I would say I made it. It was as early as six in the evening, the moon showed up. That was a twilight time where there was still a blue part of the sky that can be seen. I was able to have a timing. I took my camera with me and stood up between the fences trying to get an angle of the moon. I was so glad of the result. At last, I've got it.

Sea Weeds

There are different kinds of sea weeds. They differ from color in shapes and in purpose. There are sea weeds that can be eaten and there are some that serves as a nestling place of sea urchin. Some are attached in the stone and some are not and they are just simply floating like those in the picture. Though the water is crystallize but it is being messed up with sea weeds that are floating. There are times that the crabs and fish shelter themselves in the floating weeds. This will also serve as refuge of some of sea creatures. They even lay eggs in there

Para-sailing

Last Sunday we went to the beach to celebrate our thanks giving for the newly conceive life of our friend. The name of the resort was Rendezvous. We chose that resort because it is more peaceful, not so crowded nor noisy as the other Resorts are. A minute later we saw a couple enjoys in Para-sailing. Watching them made me look forward to such kind of adventure. I've never been into that ride. My flesh shiver seeing them almost fell down the water but I also felt relieved when they move high. This is one reason why tourists get attracted to come here in my country because of these beach events.

Valley

During our adventure ride to Dalaguete, I was expecting that we could only see mountains and no other land formations due to the scenery along our way. But when we arrived it took me a big surprised, it was not purely mountains at all. In fact, there is a beautiful valley in the midst that can be over looked from our location. You can see a rice field and a rice terraces at the side of it. I have seen there are few houses situated down the valley and they are quite distant from one another. I would say that the valley is inhabited by few people. Though it looks near yet it is a little bit farther. That white thing in the picture is a narrow road into the valley. They said that there is a short way to go there but you have to pass through the weeded area in the forest. I wanted to go there to explore more, yet we did not have enough time. Maybe next time, I will.

Adventure ride to the mountain of Dalaguete

My nephew met a girl from Bulak, Dalaguete in the Southern Province of Cebu. He went there to propose and meet the girl's parent. Before he goes, he and his father agreed to follow him to ask the girl's hand. The next day, Sunday we went up there in convoy bringing foods the way Filipino tradition is done. It was a good adventure because we do not know the place. The road was narrow, dusty and rough. When we passed on a very steep slope, the multi cab that was ahead of us did not make it, so the passengers jumped out and pushed the cab. We cannot increase the speed due to the narrow and rocky road so we need to slow down. It was funny because we passed by the cows along the road and the color of our car is red. The cows reacted against the color and the other one attempt to chase us. We shouted and laughed. My heart beats fast. Along our way we saw high mountains.The view was terrific and fascinating. What an adventure.

Sea urchins in my province

For a nature lover like me, would really enjoy visiting in a places like my province. Though it is at the foot of the mountain, yet it is also near the seashore. But I prefer to be in the shore than to climb up the mountain. In the seashore, you can see a lot of fascinating things like sea urchins. There are many kinds of urchins but I was not able to take pictures to all of them only these two. The black one is very painful when those tiny black strands pierce into your skin. It usually stays in the sandy area or under the rocks.The stripe one usually found beneath the sea weeds wrapped by them. It is not dangerous because the tip of every strand is not as sharp as the black one.Only its secretion is very itchy. Even though these two differ in many aspects yet, both of them are delicious.

Tranquility of the sea

Early six in the morning, this is what I've seen at the back of my sister's house. I hurried in to the house to get my cellular phone because I wanted to take picture. The sea water copied the color of the sky . The tide is moving high thus, the water is rising up. The breeze is so calm and the water is so serene. The water is as flat as the ironed cloth and the movement can be seen only if there is an object touches into it. The one down the water is my cousin. He is there catching small octopus in the water for meals. That is what we used to do when the water is as peaceful as this.
