Tinago Falls

Tinago Falls,
one of the main tourist attractions in Iligan, a city known as the City of Majestic Waterfalls. Tinago is a Filipino word meaning "hidden", the falls being hidden in a deep ravine. And true enough, so hidden that you really have to find your way to see its beauty! Trekking to the falls is approximately 500 descending steps called the winding staircase. It is said that Tinago Falls is a sanctuary for weary souls seeking to commune with nature. The trip to the falls actually exposes you to a variety of wildlife. Today, the trail they say is refurbished into a wildlife park hosting different species of wild animals. But when we got there, we only saw Cats (as in stray cats) and Dogs.

The falls is approximately 240-feet high, its very cold waters cascading beautifully into a deep and calm basin-like pool which appears like a blue-colored lagoon. Under the falls is a small cave where you can enter and listen to the rumbling waters. The foot of the falls is a very ideal place for swimming. The place also has man-made swimming pool for kids. It is truly a majestic place that resounds an atmosphere of serenity, a perfect escape from the noisy metropolitan.

You should consider checking it out to see our Nature's beauty =)

salute to the BETTER Pinoys

few months back, i posted an entry in which i talked about My being a Dentist at a young age. at that time, frustrations rush in meeting new people that comes in and out of my profession haven. but as i continue on with the confidence i try to build, with the help of the rest of the lovely dentists around me, especially my Mother, i now feel blessed that i'm in this field of practice at a very young age and there's really nothing i should worry about. as of today, i've been in the limelight for 8 months, barely a year. but i've been to almost all the seminars conducted here in Cagayan de Oro, in Cebu & in Davao City. i've also equipped myself with the Orthodontics preceptorship. and i've been involved in various conventions, including the main event last May in Manila. all those blabs as i try to recall, gave me a better strength of character not to feel inferior to the older ones. in fact, i feel so blessed to become the Baby.

i just got back from Iligan City, as we had the 1st National Convention - Mindanao, the first one to be held outside Manila. i had a vacation from my daily routine of going to school (i'm a school dentist too) and scratching my butt off by working hard at my own clinic (at CUMC)... and, had a leeway off with my "internet" life. so i missed a few things. the kids in school. the patients im suppose to work on. and yeah, the blogs and updates and such.

excited and thrilled, i first checked my Multiply account. it made me smile. invitations, new messages, new replies. after reading all the new stuffs, i checked my gMail account. "wow.. new emails.." i sighed. then i got more excited as i read the "subject" New comment on PDA invades Boracay! for my Blogspot. so i clicked on it right away. and sadly.. some anonymous envious fool wrote a comment which he/she stated these uneducated/unethical words.:
"24 and a Dentist? thats EXACTLY why the Philippines is so messed up. I've made the mistake of going to a few dentists, (locally respected no less), and found nothing more than a chop-shop for teeth.

Now, I leave the country before getting my grill messed up by uneducated hacks that had the common sense of a tic-tac at the obscene age they were allowed into college at." (from MORE THAN MOST)

a big lump on my throat. such hurting words! and to think, i just got back from the PDA Convention wherein i sacrificed my work hours just to sit-down and listen to lectures, and to feel & experience the wet clinic workshops for continuing education.

such a fool! as i have thought this person is.. so i rest my case on people like you who can't be good enough except to retaliate on people who YOU are most envious of. so here's for you! you envious fool!

well im not of your kind. some "uneducated hack that had the common sense of a tic-tac at the obscene age they were allowed into college at" as quoted from such an envious fool. i'm one of the blessed kind. unlike some people who try to prove themselves by escaping the reality of life. so go, get out from here! we don't need your kind. we're better off without you, trying to pull your "own" men down. crab mentality as they say. and yes, a bitter truth for Filipinos. but not for all, just YOUR kind. you, ENVIOUS FOOL!

i don't care if you leave the country. for what? AS WHAT? do whatever you can do to prove yourself that you work ABROAD. so what!? go ahead. working abroad doesn't mean your high above the rest. a better pay? so you may think. i'm happy with my earnings here. and.. i don't feel the need to sacrifice the emotional separation anxiety.. im staying with great friends around and a loving family who would always be there for me.

i hope you'll be successful in your endeavor! good luck! and i wish you stop pretending.

i salute the Pinoys who work hard abroad, the ones who never fail to put their feet on the ground. the better Pinoys who are proud of whatever they have gone through. the Pinoys who's out there to help in watering the seeds of faith. the ones who loves their family more than anyone else. to you! to us! and for our country! cheers!

marriage BLUES

im not getting any younger. but i still feel so young though.. maybe im just a little bit confused of many things..

everytime people ask me about me getting into the world of marriage, i honestly do not know how to react properly.. i feel so sad about it, deep inside.. i dont know where to pick up my heart. my partner of 3 years and 10 months hesitate to talk about it.. i know the reason why though. and that's so sad to think emotionally.. *sigh!*

for many nights/days.. im still up even at LATE dawn. i dont know why.. but maybe because a lot of my friends are stepping into that world.. and a lot of people are rallying over my mind about my own wedding bells.. and i could not tell my partner about it, because i dont want to pressure him as well.. *sigh!*

Lord, please help me.

ixus75

i got myself a new camera. it's not one of the front liners with 10 MPs but this will do =) i actually don't have any problem with my previous one (ixus50) but i just wanted to get a newer model. it has almost all the same features as my previous one. but i love this screen better. its 3inches =) LOVELY! and i guess it's a lil lighter too. my boyfriend opted to get the ixus900Ti or 950. yeah, i'd love too. but at 7k higher, i think i'd go on with the practical way.
