The spectre

It was not of cash issue- have I become a monster?  Now, I am setting in a large toilet boil and every time I tried to flush the dirt on it, the bowl fights back with its pungent splashes. It is like walking on a path with thousands of eyes are starring and just waiting for me to falter. Such, have I done the unjust? 

And now they have judge me like I am someone who burnt down the whole world?

Have they not done damaged on me before,  have not I save their conscience from damnation? 

Oh, yes! I am a man who values money, but I have not forsaken the values I have gotten from them. 

Welcome chapter 24

The last paragraphs are now on its final notes, so much for the metaphors and irony of chapter 23. To a brief summary it has been full of twists and turns from the expected short comings and the unexpected roads that I have taken (though I did take part of the way doesn't mean it was all the wrong way).

There were dreams that were accomplished some are not met and some are on the verge of failing and on the one side of success. It is like one of  the arch enemy of batman, (two face) as if we only have to directions in life either the head or the tail. It is only when we toss it on the air we could know our fate. Some dreams where unplanned with out any proper nursing intervention but with all the luck in the world it was reached with colors and laurels.

As to my career, I certainly am trying to fulfill a subconscious impulse, being a teacher. Is this what I really want in life? As of now, it is a maybe? who knows I'll be in the hospital again, giving IVF medications and mending the souls of the ill fated individuals grasping their last breath as they are about to depart to the unknown.

But if there is Something I cherished this year is her, the one that defied the laws of physics and psychology. When Newton's universal laws was inapplicable with her. She took all my sanity in a good way and now I am madly in love. For sure, Keepler and Galeleo would not agree if the world revolves around her and not in the sun.

So, As to the dawn of chapter 24, I would not expect to write stories of butterflies and paradise this year. But I know it would be something new and fresh because she is with me now. I know there will bitter sweet experiences that lies ahead.

But I am not afraid, because my ink of spirituality and my paper of aspirations are ready to be filled with stories waiting to be unfolded.

Teaching life.....

I have taught in a night high school for a month now, though it is just a practice (prerequisite  for a diploma), I  have felt to be a real one(heads up and proud)....
Though a li'l bit far from what people expect of me(bound to be in the wards of ta hospital giving medications  and taking Vitals signs of the sick and the depress), now I here in a preppy classroom with children whose mind are empty as the blackboard with out writings on it. My sole responsibility now, is to help them fill it up with the knowledge that is not only found in the books but the learning they will get when they are now in the real world and how they will use them.
So I as teacher don't just teach about the structures of the cell or the different organ system of a human being but it is now about life and the constant struggle we face every day....

Uwan Init Pista Langit

Here is heaven and hell.....

"Ana si Tatay ang langit na a ra kilid sa amung balay ug ang porgatoryo kani akung ge barugan karon" 

I have seen this movie when I got a chance to spend some time in the grandeur CICC two months ago. I just remembered this indie Cebuano film as it was literally raining while the sun is up flashing his heatwaves....

I could always relate  this metaphor to our everyday life; it has always been hard yet we continue struggling with our existence. Truly Zoren Keirkegard was absolutely right when quoted something like that this, human history was but all a struggle a struggle for the truth and struggle for its insignificant existence in this universe of uncertainty.

Bohol: second leg

Bohol: Loboc River

What could possibly be more beautiful than this?

 My Second visit to Bohol, although this time it was only a one day tour with some Japanese. So I will just give some few highlights of this trip as this not the first I time,

The above picture is a good friend of mine in her background the chocolate hills. Hmmm,Chocolate hills? It is green, well September is a rainy month so most of the grasses and plants on the hills are alive and kicking.

The cruise would be much more wonder if you have someone special  while
satisfying your gastronomical gravings.

The Loboc River Cruise...

Located in Barangay Loboc, these floating restaurants sure satisfy your grumbling stomach. A variety of dishes offered worth 300 peso you would have a lunch while listening local bands and children playing the rondalla.

 The Loboc River, one of the pride of Bohol, this was also

 the main setting f the Visayan film done by Ceasar Montano which featured the wonders of this river and the enchanting f bohol.

Basically, the cruise lasted for an hour it was a floating restaurant. The food are just the same with the ones in an ordinary carenderia. What makes it unique is the beautiful sights an the panoramic view of nature in its pure essence.

As every journey comes to an end so was ours. The guy in white was our  tour guide he arranged everything  from  the pump-boat we rode to the Van we rented for the country side tour we had. 

The plan was orginally to go to Kawasan Falls....

But we found out too late that it was still close, not to be sad about the news we opted to find

other ways on how we could still have fun on this trip.

Misadventure: luckily there were some kin-hearted drivers who suggested to bring us to Canlaob river the upper part of Kawasan falls.

1. From badian church you should ride a habal-habal for 100 peso each(haggle-haggle) to bring you to the place.

Credits to my Sister for making a slide show on this trip......

Take a plunge to cool and crystal clear water of Canlaob river....




Warning:

I considered to be my Old sisters. Tim and Noellee.... Obese mermaids... hehehehehe

The Canlaob falls is a bit smaller than the Kawasan Falls. Nonetheless, it has its own unique charming that is distinct from Kawasan falls.

We found a nice cottage we rented for just 50 pesos(hangyo mode). Perfect for safe keeping while enjoying the beauty of nature.


One the best thing in traveling is meeting new friends. Pedro  with his new found allies. (Nice kids)

Every good start would always a better ending.....



We are about to get home, the rains starts to pour on us.
It was long trip but at the end we had a good time....





How to get there:
From the South bus terminal find a bus bound to Badian or Alegria. It would cost you 132 pesos and the route would take you 3-4 hours long.

In alegria, find a habal-habal driver that would take you to Canlaob river.... Remember don't hesitate to do the hangyo mode. hhehehehe
