Aguinid Falls

Posted on by sherlockomega

Cebu’s lovely waterfalls may not be as immense, tall, or imposing as those in other parts of the country. But that does not mean that they are less mystical. Indeed, our humble island’s waterfalls all feature a plethora of mysterious rock formations, amazing water compositions, and magical surrounding environments. Aguinid Falls in the quiet municipality of Samboan, which is 150 kilometers away from Cebu City and 4 hours away from Argao, is one of these natural wonders.

Camotes Island Travel Guide

Posted on by sherlockomega

Our travel to Camotes Is. was a memorable experience. It was the second island I visited since birth, the first one was Camiguin. Similar to other small islands I saw in pictures and as I experienced at Camiguin, it is very small indeed. (Yes, that was a joke) But other than being small it is still very rural in the state that there are only few residents and houses.

The travel is somewhat taking an off beaten rocky path with full of mysteries to what awaits. We traveled the whole island within just 1 and a half day. Most of it was travelling on the rocky road with virgin sceneries. Majority of the the island was trees, small houses (except for more populated areas). This small, underpopulated island shouldn’t be underestimated . Even how small it is, its wonders are in the contrary. The whole place was filled with different types of caves, a lake, beautiful beach resorts and of course these resorts won’t be made possible without their fascinating landscape, beaches and sea shores.  .

Respect to be Respected

Posted on by sherlockomega

I RESPECTED “HER” BUT HE DIDN’T

On my way home I was riding a bus.
Halfway to my destination, Someone sat beside me and it was a lass.
I never wanted it. I have always avoided it. But as expected ALAS!
She asked me where I lived,
Without being too much specific, I Told her my hometown.
She proceeded by asking questions like; What school, course and exact place did I live.
I really wished her to leave,
But to avoid letting her feel disrespected
I answered her questions in ways I never wanted.
She asked more and more questions that aren’t commonly asked by a common stranger,
so to STOP HER!
From asking more..

They say “RESPECT TO BE RESPECTED”. yes. I RESPECTED HER.

To avoid causing affliction I closed my eyes and pretended I was asleep.
By then, I thought silence and time was mine to keep.
Still, she missed to understand. My act didn’t stopped her.
Instead of giving questions she started to lean harder.
Harder and harder towards my shoulder and to my hip.

“RESPECT TO BE RESPECTED” then I RESPECTED HER.

Even though she took pictures.Damn right she took selfies with me. YES! I was pretending to be asleep – but I heard her.
I heard her camera’s clicks. It’s clicks getting closer and closer, I suppose getting louder and louder. I could’ve stopped her – But I Didn’t and continued pretending.

“RESPECT TO BE RESPECTED” so I RESPECTED HER.

And allowed that disrespectful deed, thinking that maybe it will be indeed the last thing she would need from me.
I heed and listened as her peers talked about me. They said about posting the pictures and decided to keep them.
While her friend saying “butangi dayung ug #AkongBoyfieGikapoy#GotchNaSha#Ehem”
I made Sigh and hoped it was the end of it.

“RESPECT TO BE RESPECTED” so I still RESPECTED HER.

Suddenly , I heard her friend saying “ Is that musical.ly?”
The next thing, I heard familiar sounds blaring beside my ear.
IS THIS TRUE? Are they really making fun of me by taking videos of me at my “sleep”?
~I HAD ENOUGH OF IT!
Still, I don’t have enough courage to snap out of my act and face them. But I could have..

I respected her, I could have scolded her along with her friends. But I didn’t.
I respected her, I could’ve have humiliated her in front of the other passengers. But I didn’t.
And lastly, I respected her by treating her like a lady which biologically can’t possibly be.
I treated her as a “her” which could’ve been him. But I didn’t.

I don’t know if what I did was right or I should’ve told her what is right but…..I RESPECTED HER. and HE DIDN’T

“DFTBA”

Posted on by sherlockomega

July 5, 2017.

Over a year now, I kept on dreaming on having myself my own active and functioning blog. Now, I can fairly say that this blog is functioning and pretty active. Although, it doesn’t have as much as viewers as other “Active” blogs have. I am satisfied by the status of this blog. I am satisfied that finally I have this medium to express and share my thoughts, ideas and experiences in the society. Which, I guess, is important for me for both having the sense of fulfillment and having this blog as somewhat like a journal.

Thought Spirals

Posted on by sherlockomega

Last year, December 28, 2017, I finished reading the book Turtles All The Way Down. A book written by John Green. It was a good year- ender book. For starters, the title itself could explain so many things in life.

Revelations and discoveries will never end. Throughout many generations, life continues. We are not meant to create something big. We are meant to contribute. Our life is not intended to be lived for an entirety of meaning. But it is only a part of that meaning. A part of a bigger cause. No huge discovery in human history is made by only one generation. It is backed up by previous generations or is lifted by future generations.
