Hello lovers! Once again, again and again, I am apologizing for a month of blogging hiatus.

Well, let me share to you a quick getaway of mine with my closest cousins last holiday. See where spare days could bring me. Lol. That’s the good thing of holidays, it brings surprises, if not dramas.

Sagpulon Falls in San Isidro, Jasaan (My hometown, yes!), Misamis Oriental is one of spots tourists in this side of the region flock. It’s just sad that during my visit, the blue waters transformed into mocha brown. It is because it’s raining for days prior to our getaway. Hence, I just apologized to our swimming attires and orange vests.

But you know what’s surprising? I can say that the last holiday is somewhat a blast for Sagpulon. […]Though it’s not its original condition, a lot of tourists came. In fact, I heard there were more than a thousand of visitors came on the first day of the holidays. And I tell you, the time when we went there, there are a lot of people that we haven’t availed cottage nor table for our things. As you will see below, the flooding did not even prevent swimmers to climb on the falls’ vicinities.

Guys, I will just let my photos speak for more. I promise to pose blue green waters of Sagpulon soon. Yeah, I am one proud Hasaanon, so I am going back there soon.
