Just before I open up my eyes
Remind me of my purpose and forget the lies
You filled something the world can't satisfy
When I think of your love, I'm like in the sky
In this agonizing world, you are the joy I won't dare replace you for any boy
I am not perfect, I am a mess
But you still have loved me nevertheless
My heart was broken, nobody knew
But you replaced it with something new
I always make mistakes, I need your grace
I am not longing for anything else but to see your face
Pinipisakan Falls is located in the town of San Jorge /San Hor-he/, island of Samar, Philippines. A few meters behind it is the Sulpan Cave, which is full of exciting adventures. San Jorge is just 30-45 minutes away from my hometown, Catbalogan. We used to go to Blanca Aurora Falls in San Jorge when we were kids, but Pinipisakan is hardly visited by the locals due to its distance and perilous passage route. It is not recommendable if you will visit with children. We had to climb the mountains, and the path was steep and slippery. You have to be extra careful when going there because there will be a tendency for you to fall many times. I accidentally slipped on a huge rock, but I was fortunately able to stretch my hand and only my chin was hit. I guess I was lucky, but my right hand and leg got very painful during the entire trip. Hence, I had difficulty in going up and needed assistance from the porter whenever I had to climb the waterfall and step on large boulders. Moreo...
SAMAR TO LEYTE From Samar, I have to go to Tacloban so I can ride a bus going to Liloan. BUS COMPANY NAME: Bachelor Tours Schedule: 7 am, 11 am Location: Palo, Leyte Fare: PHP 370 (regular), PHP 300 (student) NOTE: You can also ride this bus if you are going to Davao or Butuan. Most public vans stop in Tacloban city. Hence, you still need to ride a jeepney going to Palo; allot thirty minutes for this in case of traffic. Just tell the jeepney driver to drop you off at the station of Bachelor Tours; everyone knows where it is. When you're in doubt, don't hesitate to ask the locals. I highly recommend you to come earlier than the schedule because you still have to enlist yourself and the bus usually gets full quickly. It's first-come-first-serve basis. My friend told me that the bus sometimes departs earlier than the schedule as soon as all the seats get occupied. Tell the conductor that you just want to stop in Liloan so you wil...
People from our island usually go to the cities like Manila and Cebu to study for college so we can receive better education. Whenever I go to other places, they often ask me where I am from because of my different accent. Most of them were not familiar of Samar because it used to be an unknown place. I often get the question, “Samar, saan ‘yun? Anong makikita dun? (Samar, where is that? What can we see there?)” Our island was not a popular tourist spot compared to the other places in the Philippines like Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, etc. I felt embarrassed for not being able to answer their questions because I myself didn’t know what’s in our island. At that time, Samar was not yet featured in any travel magazine, newspaper, or blog. Our local government didn't focus much on tourism until Governor Sharee Ann Tan, the founder of Spark Samar , was elected. Most of us were clueless. I started my exploration in 2015 after I got acquainted with whom we call “cavemaster”, Mr. Joni Bo...
