SKYRIDER @ Eden

Hello upper east side.. Ooops, I know I don't cater to Manhattan elite scandals.. It's just that - - - this is the first blog post since I've seen Gossip Girl... =)

Anyway, back to my travel blog...

There's something new at Eden Nature Park..... SKYRIDER! It was launched last December and has been a hit to adventure-seekers (like me!).

Of course, there are rules, and you need to follow them to be safe...

It's not stated in the rules that you need to be super physically fit to try skyrider. But, I think it would be a friendly note to remind everyone that if you want to try it, you must be at least fit enough to reach the top of the tower! Hahahaha! I was gasping for air up there!

Skyrider was exciting! But, it was rather too short of an excitement... I would say that I still want to try zipping at Camp Sabros (located in Kapatagan, near Digos City).

Anyway, aside from Skyrider, Eden Nature Park is an attraction by itself. This, being my second visit, I wanted to tour around the place so we availed of the Shuttle Bus Tour priced at P55/head.

Let me say thanks to our tour guide, Pottie, and the driver, Crispin (too bad I didn't take their photos for this blog). The tour was around 30-45 minutes covering an area of so much hectares (yeah, I wasn't listening intently..) . But anyway, I've learned that Eden is 95% man-made. If you want to know that whole story, go there and take their shuttle bus tour.. Hehehe!

I've already taken some photos during my first trip. The recent photos below are shots taken from Lola's Garden (At last! I have finally been to Lola's Garden I did not have to walk to get here!).

what d'ya looking for?

hehehehehehe.......................
The Skyrider Package we got was worth P570.00, and it includes lunch buffet. I was supposed to take photos for my food blog but I was too hungry to think of pictorials and I only realized that I missed taking pictures only after I ate. Bwahahaha!

It was really fun (and tiring too)... It was also sunny in Eden that time... =) There's also a new attraction, set to be launched this May, it's called TINUBDAN, a showcase of the tribes living in Mindanao (or is it Davao tribes only? I'm such a poor listener!)...

And of course..... Thanks to PPC for being so friendly!!! =) Ma'am Karen, Adolf, Joy, Kit, Sharon... and also to Debi (ang kilabot ng UC!).... I had so much fun! (--,)

From Koronadal to Alabel

My February-March travel has really brought my mood up despite the hectic schedule and deadlines that have been haunting me...

One thing that cleared my mind from the tax amnesty filing is the PICPA Seminar I had last March 1 at Del Rio Splash Resort. So far, this has been my favorite resort in Marbel and I'm lucky enough to have visited the place at daylight. Below are the photos I've taken during our lunchbreak.

March 2. The traveler-wannabe inside of me isn't just satisfied of Koronadal. Since I was with four other companions, we decided to visit Alabel, Sarangani Province. In going there, we stopped by at Queen Tuna Park in General Santos City.

Next Stop: Alabel, Sarangani Province. Alabel is a peaceful small town in Sarangani. We went to Ladol Beach and did some boating.

We then visited the Provincial Capitol of Sarangani. At first, we were hesitant to go there because it was a Sunday and government offices are supposed to be closed on Sundays. But we were surprised when we were greeted by the accomodating Ms. Zaluma Gampal of the Environmental Conservation and Protection Center. She gave us a tour of their Gallery and we have learned so much during that tour.

The pictures above show how rich Sarangani is. We have also learned that you can also find Tarsiers in Sarangani Province. There are still lots of places to discover in this part of the country.


It was such a tiring day... But we really enjoyed it a lot! =)


Super thanks to those people who have accommodated us during our trip despite the lack of notice. Thanks to Sales Family, Manong Boat Captain (for granting our request to go boating and for showing us the fish cages), and to Ms. Gampal of the ECPC for spending some time with us at their Gallery and for being so kind to show the place despite her busy schedule. Thank you!
