- Old Balete Tree- omg the tallest tree I've ever seen and it's massive too ! Like it takes me 3minutes and so to walk around it. And you should totally try their summan so cute bc it's violet and so tasty. And may mga vendors there sa tabi tabi that sells Coffee Nuts (which is so good ! I tried it bc their signage says "Masarap...sige na !" Haha)
- Mother falls (Ditumabo Falls)- (I'd like to think meron ding daddy and children falls haha waley) when you're in Baler please do not go home without seeing this marvelous cascade ! Sobrang ganda nya and napaka taas (I've no picture bc mas pinili kong mag landi at mag tampisaw sa napaka lamig nyang tubig haha)
- Museo de Baler and Baler Church -located at the town of baler walking distance lang from museo to baler church. The museo have a lot of paintings and stuff then there's this "BALER" thing at the center of the town where you can take photos.
- Ermita Hill- before it was called Mt. Castillo I don't know (or I just didn't ask) where Ermita came from. Well anyway, this is where you can see the beauty of Baler. It's scenic panoramic view of the main town and Sabang Beach is just so breathtaking ! Sobrang chill lang and super nakakarelax.
- Diguisit Beach and Rock Formation- is one of my favorites here in Baler. The huge rock formation just makes me wanna climb up there and make sigaw all my problems char haha unfortunately it's too dangerous so instead I transformed myself na lang into a mermaid haha
- Baler Hanging Bridge-the famous foot bridge was made of steel and cables and it is safe naman. It sure is one of the scenic spots here in baler to conquer ! Sadly when I was in this trip I have fear of heights pa so I wasn't able to enjoy this part.
- Sabang Beach- the heart and soul of Baler. It is dubbed as the "Birthplace of Surfing in the Philippines" Where you can ride your surfing board up and smash into the enormous waves ! Truly is a traveler's paradise! This could be the most exciting part for me if I just wasn't too afraid to try it (huhu I cried like a river afterwards kse hindi ko sinubukan but what can I do ? Hindi ako marunong mag SWIM !) one thing I can't do talaga. Kaya some of my friends calls me "The mermaid who can't swim" bc I love the waters, being in the beach is my thing yun lang talaga hindi ako love ng dagat huhubels haha.

ISA. parang d ko ata kayang simulan to mag-ISA.
I've been quite busy this past few months. Yes nag hahike pa rin ako, chasing waterfalls and pabalik balik pa rin kung saan saang mga beach. (soon I'll post something about my recent travels wait lang mga bes) But tonight, something out of my usual trip drives me to write up again. An ordinary day that has an extraordinary night experience for me.
I have been staying at home lately. Eat, sleep, surfing, eat, sleep was my usual routine. A lazy cat social media addict. Though I'm not the typical netizen na "scroll, browse, and click" lang ha ? I was really checking out Indie films and music. It fascinates me how ingenious filipinos are. Their imaginative films and sensual music makes me feel nostalgic giving me all the feels and chills down to my spine. Unfortunately and I dont really understand is why these films isn't showing nationwide ! I mean come on ! Taga probinsya ako and kelangan ko pang mag byahe from my province to the nearest mall na may mga Indie films na showing which is sa manila pa. 4hours-freaking-drive. So yeah to those people na makakabasa nito please enlighten me bakit ganito sa pilipinas ! Haha kidding.
ISA. Isang buwan kong pinag pray na sana i-show tong film na to nationwide and it did !
DALAWA. Dalawang beses ko atang nasipa yung nasa unahan ko kakatawa !
TATLO. Tatlong beses akong nag cr para di ako matulad kay Lea at kay Tonyo. Ayoko kasing may miss na kahit tatlong minuto sa film na to.
APAT. Apat na rolyo ata ang nagamit kong tissue after. I was shookt !
LIMA. Limang beses kong pinaulit ulit sa utak ko na ito ang realidad. Hindi laging masaya. Hindi rin habang buhay na malungkot ka. Life is fair and unfair. Yin and Yang. Balancing lang yan.
ANIM. Anim o higit pa ata ang tawa ko kay empoy "Tonyo" sa film na to ! Like grabe unang scene pa lang nya, muka pa lang nya tawang tawa na ko !
PITO. Pitumput pitong tupa. (shet sabi ko na di kayang mag isa to e. Nasa pito pa lang ako nauubusan na ko ng words at napupuno na naman ng halo halong emosyon ang puso't utak ko dahil sa movie na to)
WALO. Walong beses kong pinag isipan kung kaya ko bang panoodin to mag isa (it turns out hindi ko pala kaya. Buti na lang talaga nag pasama ako)
SIYAM o SAMPOng beses o higit pa ata ang iniiyak ko sa movie na to. Too much feels. I can't really describe how great this movie was without being so emotional. The characters truly captured my heart. Relate much talaga (I love travelling, I love making paper cranes, I love to visit Japan, I love cabbage, I love beers, lahat !)
Now I ascertain that every single thing that happens to our lives has a reason. And an act of random kindness might change your life completely. So live and give love. Follow your heart and for sure di mo lang alam si banana nasa likod mo lang pala haha (watch the movie and you'll know who's your banana *wink emoticon)
So watch #KITAKITA para maintindihan nyo yung 1-10 above. Predictable if youre feeling movie critic like me (haha) but all in all great movie. *hands up emoticon
