Buhay Forest Magallanes, Cavite  Dated January 15 2021 Mr. Dennis Abrina wrote an article about the buhay forest which is the new Tourist Attraction in Magallanes Cavite especially for Nature Lovers. In his article he shared.  "Cavite now offers something new for tourists, especially for those who are nature lovers and wish to breathe fresh air, outside of the polluted metro. Buhay Forest (life in the forest) is a lush greenery and forest in the upland town of Barangay San Agustin, Cavite, 71.1 kilometers away from Manila – a perfect place to commune with nature, amid COVID-19 "  These are my thoughts and experience when I visited the place. Is it really worth it to visit Buhay forest?  1. If you will be travelling by car or motorcyle, expect that there will be a long waiting time.

Bless the Broken Road This will be my first personal blog on how I met this gorgeous and free spirited woman in Angeles Pampanga that really touched my heart despite we are living almost 100km away from each other. lets's call her by the name of Mira . After my 12 year relationship with my former girlfriend/fiance, I felt so broken. A relationship that just slowly died regardless on how much I kept on fighting it for years, all I've ever wanted is for us to do new things and make new memories. but that opportunity was never given so it's better for us to be apart.  As what they always say " Pinagtagpo pero hindi tinadhana". For most people, drinking alcohol was one of the coping mechanism as a form of a band-aid to numb their feelings but alcohol is not my choice of band-aid but Solo Travelling is.  For 2-3 months, I had visited 69 places and for the month of January 2021 an additional 33 places was added to my list. After 12 years of insanity such as

Tourist guide fee: 300.00 2. Entrance Fee: 20.00 each 3. Cut off for the day tour is up until 3:00pm but they can accomodate you up until 4:00pm. You can ask the Sir Danny who is very accomodating when I visited them. 4. It is a 30 minute treck when you visit the area but it will take you a little bit longer to reach the location since there are some scenery that I want you to enjoy and take pictures as well such as the "Talong Patay Falls" and the "Bilog" in the area. 5. There is a cafeteria inside the resort where you eat. I suggest to try the "Pancit Canton " lf Ma'am Tess which is good for 2-3 person

Talay and Hidden Falls

Talay and Hidden Falls of Luiciana Laguna. December 27 2020 Talay Falls - 30-45 minute treck Hidden Falls - 10-15 minute treck  Hulugan Falls is one of the famous attraction in barangay San Salvador however it was suggested by my tourist guide, Sir Mark Macasinag known as Mac Mac to check the Talay and Hidden Falls first before the Hulugan Falls cause the trail going to Talay and Hidden are a little easier than in Hulugan. It was fine with me , since I already visited Hulugan Falls last December 7 2020, but this time I visited the place with high waters and strong currents due to 2 LPA'S in the country. I was advised at that time that only Hulugan Falls can be visited but since I want a different experience, I was allowed to visit the 2 waterfalls.   So, goodluck sa akin... LOL  Talay Falls of Luciana Laguna as of December 27 2020 The usual trail going to Talay Falls is to cross the man made concrete flooring for tourist. This took months before it was completed, I
