Sagada via Banaue, Part 3: Spelunking @ Sumaguing Cave

Sedimentary Rock Formation Inside Sumaguing Cave, Sagada, Philippines

Our second day in Sagada started with a promise of beautiful day. Lovely skies hugged the mountain, giving us hope that rain won't get in our way. Rain was not welcome for us on that day because caving would be cancelled due to the flooding inside the cave that the rain will cause.

We left Manila for Sagada last December 27 at about 9:30 pm. We had several stops along the way but our first major stop was Banaue Rice Terraces at about 8:00 am of December 28. About 11:00 am, we reached Sagada.

From Indian Wells to Australian Open...Dreams of a Tennis Fan

Daniela and Who?, Indian Wells, CA

One of the events in Southern California that I always would not want to miss going to is the tennis event in Indian Wells, CA. I am a big tennis fan, I may not watch a lot of TV, but somehow, when it is tennis out there, I can take some time sitting in front of TV. And whenever there is a tournament here in Southern California, as long as I have free time, I do come to watch.

Sagada via Banaue Part 1: The Banaue Rice Terraces

The Banaue Rice Terraces

Back several decades ago, when I was much younger, my uncle would always test me what are the 7 wonders of the world. After reciting correctly the 7 ancient wonders, my uncle would surprise me, "and what is the 8th wonder?" To his satisfaction, I would proudly say, "The Banaue Rice Terraces of the Philippines!"

Leaving home...... Coming home

My long but seems short vacation is over, sad to leave the place that I always have called home, but happy as well to be coming back to my now new home.
Presently at the airport waiting for my boarding for the very long trip back home. Confusing, isn't it? That I am soon leaving home to come back home.
Picture below is from my cell phone from one of my hikes with my family here in my home sweet Philippines, at Mambukal Mountain Resort, Negros Occidental.

Exploring Home Sweet Philippines

I am still in blogging hiatus right now, exploring my home sweet Philippines. However, am taking a few minutes here in mobile blogger to greet you all Happy New Year and to share some cell phone pictures from my wandering in Philippines so far.

Will be back soon, this is just a simple post using mobile blogger.

     Time is a precious possession. Gifted with ample time I would love to be on a Galapagos Cruise Ship  watching the sunset, looking at the tranquil waters, the marvelous sky, listening to my hubby's sweet nothings embracing me from behind smiling with all the happiness in the world thinking of what we both love nature and wildlife; calling out to turtles and seals and supporting the Galapagos Island conservation like what M/V Galapagos Explorer II offering Galapagos cruises with passenger safety as their main priority does.
