LAKE RESORT in LAKE SEBU

Its my 3rd time to be in Lake Sebu, Surallah, South Cotabato. 1st was way2x back 2005, when i was still connected with ABS-CBN TV-24 Koronadal, we have a coverage then at Mountain Log Resort. 2nd, was last month and 3rd was just last week, July 7, 2012.

It was indeed a memorable experienced, I'm with my kiddo and we stayed at Estares, Lake Resort, one of the pioneering resorts in the area. They have this 5 in a row Gono or VIP Huts located in a cliff with a very nice view of the Lake, costs only Php800/nyt.

My daughter and I took 774 steps down to see the breathtaking Falls 1, one of the 7 falls in the area. The luscious green surroundings and the sound of the water cascading/falling did took my breath away. You can really feel the breeze and the mist touching your skin. That I cant help myself to took pictures and pictures of the falls. ;-)

And when you're in Lake Sebu, you have and must to taste all their Tilapia Delicacies, highly recommended the Estares Pinaputok na Tilapia, Tilapia Spring Roll and the Tilapia Chicharon.

.....SADNESS AND PAINS.....

why  does happiness always has its sadness? and sometimes coupled with hurts and pains.

do people have to experienced these kinds of challenges in their emotional aspects?

if you broke your heart, how can you mend it without crying those tears?

are we really meant with each other, and live together as one?

or, we have to cherished  every times and moments we shared for us to thank if it comes to an end?

neither myself or any experts can give answers on this...it is indeed ironic that we have to live then sooner or later, we will die and leave everything behind...
