Philippine Carabao Center...my new place to visit

I just travel recently in the green lushes of cornfields and majestic mountains of Bukidnon. Well, I can't help to think from that day I passed by the smooth winding roads of Manolo Fortich down to Quezon region. I thought it is just purely rainfall that will sure hit me hard once I get home but time really did define the beauty of true mother nature.....and Bukidnon is one of them. I have one new friend from Davao City and he surely gave me a very accomodating ride. From Cagayan de Oro City, I was really thinking that it will be a misery for me to go for Valencia City and made me undecided but since he has brand new Honda City (whew!! top that!). Well, I say "its a smooth bang!!" So, we started the vigil conversation(dude!! don't be pathetic!!) its an alive reactions and expectations on the road. He's the one who told me about one perfect "MILK farm for rich and wealthy health" and I said " that's unexpected, never thought of that place before". So, when we got to Musuan town, he referred me to the Carabao capital in Mindanao....i guess.hehehe

It was pretty outrageous place that every traveler from different directions either your'e north or from south, definitely!! you'll love to pause your time and have a sweet smile sipping the fresh, mouth-watering, sweet carabao's milk that I admit that I rarely tasted this in my whole life. Well, PCC have various products that you can choose. From fresh milk that comes in different exciting flavors like chocolate, mango and even Ube if you like. I just can't bring it home then because its very far away from my home (whew!!) So, I decided to buy more economical which they the "pastillas" version of thier own.tsk! tsk! Anyway, it was one of a kind experience, Maybe later time, I can do some shooting pictures on my own, I can show it here hopefully.

See you next trip, old friend...................

Hatred.....

My life's thrown into chaos since the day I was born. I've been always dreaming just like everybody, to have merry and almost perfect life (dream house, dream job, dream wife and dream unity etc ). Though, I can't blame everybody, not even my parents who taught me in every little way. It's not easy to feel at ease, no matter what you decide, its just boil down into nothing but regrets. My road doesn't lead me to redemption OR just a confusion that leads me nowhere. Everyday, I'm trying to accomplish things but its just very hard to reach the right goal. Is there anybody listens to me? I guess not!! Hatred really consumes my life. I just wish God can reveal unto me because this is unfair that I don't see any good effect for me..

Please!! somebody correct my life for me?

Mindanao, Philippines..is it really place of paradise OR just another rumor of threat issues

Mindanao, Philippines. It is one of the most intriguing stories that happened on radio, T.V. and internet. Honestly, it sounds amusing but ignorant in a sense of racism between Muslims and Christians. For decades, Mindanao was heard as "fear of culture and government war" and were mislead through several conflicts due to different beliefs and rituals. I understand on every aspect where I met different people in different ways. Recently, I traveled different places here......and that includes, Cotabato Region. At first, I fear of not going home anymore because of wrong information I retrieved. Fortunately, it craves me on my recent job and I have to do it. Well, my hands are shaking and I can't stop thinking cautious looking around, observing unusual stuff and pickpockets if you know what i mean?? Its ironic to see a certain Muslim because I belong here in Mindanao but a lot of people criticize them but if you can only see the true beauty of our culture, you'll definitely love it. Mindanao has several tourist spots to enjoy like the Lake Sebu in South Cotabato, Mt. Apo that covers the North Cotabato and Davao Region; the hot springs in Caraga Region located in Northeast Mindanao; the beautiful rice fields of Bukidnon region; the sparkling waters of Maria Christina falls in Iligan, Lanao del Norte. And, if you're a surfboard enthusiast, try the Sargiao Island which you can truly see the strong waves near the Pacific ocean. But, all of these are surely to discover and will retain its promise if there will be exact unity of one another. See, the major problem here is that the information we retrieved is all mixed up. The people wants to know the real issue. "What's going on the Mindanao today?"

Ever since, the Ampatuans started the "rumored onslaught", everybody wants to think of Mindanao is not friendly at all. I hate hearing those gossips knowing my city is one of the strongholds towards peace.

So, it is YOU who will help me find the answers. Do you know anything about Mindanao?
