Kawasan falls

There's no billion dollar building that can beat the nature! That's coming from a woman who is so exposed in the hustle and bustle of the city. I wanted to make my stay in Cebu memorable so Joy and I, together with her adventurous supervisor as our guide, decided to unwind and went to Badian, it's located in the Southern part of Cebu. What's in Badian? Hmmm, every turista knows it...It's Kawasan Falls!!

People said you have to hike for 20-30 minutes in order to reach the first falls, I think we took more than that! We listened to manong, our guide to the falls, who shared stories about a korean who lost his entire teeth because of jumping and hit his friend and died. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Manong told us not to go too near the falls because of the pressure that was in it. It's a little bit dangerous so we heeded his advice. We've enjoyed its lush tropical view on our way to the first level falls and captured great shots. It was tiring but remember the Delayed Gratification principle? Yea, we thought of that. Inisip namin na matatapos din ang lahat ng paghihirap at pagdating sa taas, we'll be champions, we'll swim up to our hearts' content. Finally, we reached the first falls, took a picture. Then trek again for minutes to reach the second falls and surprise, no tourist, no people, just us and manong.

It's a cozy and calm place. A great spot to bond with a close friend, a loved one or a family member. Again, I bonded with Joy. Tawa dito, tawa dun, goal namin magpahinga pero napagod kami katatawa. It's full of fun, truly unforgettable!

It's a goal accomplished for me. I've known Joy again. There's a lot of new things, amazing things. Also, I've rested and known Cebu in a deeper level. Naks! Thank you Lord for this experience.
