That Waterfall in Samboan

When a door closes, somewhere there is another door leading to things undiscovered.

So, the original plan was to swim with the whale sharks in Tanaw-an, Oslob. However, after seeing the hoards of people waiting for their turn since 1 AM and the thought that the whale sharks are probably already worn out with the sudden influx of tourists, we decided to ditch Oslob and look for fun and adventure somewhere else.

I didn't know the name of the waterfall, all I know is that there is another waterfall in Samboan besides Aguinid and it is somewhere in Brgy. Bon-Bon. With the help of locals, we trekked to the waterfall (we found out later on that it's called Binalayan Falls but it's widely known as Bon-Bon falls). There isn't a definite pathway to the waterfall and the way up is a bit steep and slippery but as long as you keep your balance and wear non-slip footwear (Thank you, Havaianas!), then you're good to go.

After 20 minutes, a few slips and the occasional, "Are we there yet?" from my little brother, we finally reached our destination.

The waterfall isn't as high as Mantayupan or Kawasan Falls but the fact that it isn't commercialized yet and that we have the waterfall to ourselves is good enough for me. :)

The steep way up. It was actually harder going down. T.T

I can see it now...weeee!!!

How to get there: One can reach Samboan by public buses or by private vehicles. Travel time from Cebu to Samboan is 3-4 hours, depending on speed, traffic and the number of stopovers made.

Hello, 2012!

After procrastinating for months, here I am again, writing about whatever comes to my mind. :) Actually, I just remembered this blog when I received my SSS ID almost after a year from applying for it. Yes, it took a year before I actually received the ID and it doesn't even look pretty. :( Hopefully though, this card (Now known as Unified Multi-purpose ID (UMID)) will make transacting with government institutions easy. Well, not all of them, just SSS, GSIS, PAG-IBIG and PhilHealth.

Once again, hello 2012! I won't make any promises but I will update this blog once in awhile. :D
