Hello Everyone,

Sharing this calm and peaceful staycation experience we had together with my friends in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato in Mindanao, Philippines.

When we had our hiking and camping at the neighboring town, we did a side trip to Lake Sebu and stayed here. If you are someone like me, who would love to be closed to nature and enjoy the serenity of the mountains, green fresh planst swaying through the air and the chirping sounds of the birds, this is place is also for you!

We initially planned to stay in a "Gono" a local term for a big house of the T'boli, the tribal name of the people living on this community, however the management was very kind to transfer us to a Villa on the next day. We do both experience staying on a Gono which is so traditional, and staying on a Villa which is so modern and comfortable. On the villa, we had a private swimming pool that my friends really enjoyed dipping to after our strolls in the town of Lake Sebu.

The overall experience on this mountain resort is absolutely wonderful!

If you're from the Philippines or anywhere that is coming to Lake Sebu in the future and is looking for an accommodation, you can book here: https://s.happy.com.ph/xP9kmwcc

Hello Everyone,

On the other day, I have shared a short video of Asik-asik falls of Alamada, check it out on my profile to see the stunning curtain falls.

Aside from the stunning falls, the town of Alamada also offers a scenic mountain views as I have shared it on my blog post here: https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@thestrollingmind/asik-asik-falls-the-curtains-falls-in-mindanao-or-alamada-travel-blog-series .

Now, let me share to your scenic stroll to Alamada Coco's Funville with my family during our trip to the mountainous town of Alamada. Being situated on top of the mountains, it has a cool weather and scenic view of the neighboring mountain ranges with giving a curvy horizon. They have a lot of farm animals also that we enjoyed watching during our stroll in here.

It is just so relaxing in here!

Follow me for more travel contents and ideas, and hope to bumped on you in my future strolls elsewhere in the Philippines, Asia or who knows, in your country ;-)

Hi Everyone,

Sharing this enchanting Asik-asik falls nestled in the mountains of Alamada in Mindanao, Philippines.

What's even interesting on this curtain waterfalls is it doesn't came from a river stream but from the mountains themselves.

These ground water, locally known as "tubod" creates the waterfalls and the river of Alamada that also serves as water source of the farm on the community.

We hiked for around 10 to 15mins to get in here, the trail is pretty easy as the locals already installed man-made stairs for accessibility to the falls basin and river.

You can also read my blog about this falls here: https://peakd.com/@thestrollingmind/asik-asik-falls-the-curtains-falls-in-mindanao-or-alamada-travel-blog-series

Follow me for more awesome travels in the Philippines and some of the Asian countries, thank you and hope to bump into you on my future trip!

Hello Everyone!

Sharing you this beautiful video of the stunning mountain ridges of the southern part of the Philippines, in Sultan Kudarat in Mindanao.

Amidst its not-so-accessible location, local tourists would love to visit here for a chill and rest with nature whom my friends here in Hive @ybanezkim26 and @itskareninamoi has their adventurous and funny experience in here.

I wish I can find some time to edit my Mindanao videos so I can share the complete experience in here.

Your Name, our own kind of remake 🥹

I am personally emotionally invested on the movie Kimi no Na wa / Your Name that I have planned to visit the real-life locations of the movie given the opportunity to visit Japan for a trip, and we did make it possible! 🥹

Am still so overwhelmed that we did it! Amidst the time constraints, specially when visiting to Tateishi Park to watch the sunset with the Lake Suwa, catching up both our breaths and the golden hour trekking to the park on the mountain top. Thanks to Nihon’s longer day, the sun sets so slowly that we have caught up the magical part of the day of Suwa.

Filming locations:

📍Suga Shrine, Shinjuku City, Tokyo

📍Tateishi Park, Suwa, Nagano

The height of 600 ft zipline in 7 Falls is one of the attractions in Lake Sebu. Located in South Cotabato, the zipline is one of the highest ziplines in Southeast Asia and the highest in the Philippines. The zipline is overlooking the highest and one of the seven falls in the area. It's a must-try experience!

Hello Everyone,

I just celebrated my birthday last month- February 25, when I got the chance to celebrate it in a way that I want: traveling. Nevertheless, it came in an unexpected way. I just shared a post in my Facebook wall saying " For my Birthday this year I only accept Travel" never thought Frabs will grant it!

Frabs and I were exes, we were together last 2017 but our relationship last for only a year. However, we were still friends even after our relationship ended, and what we had lasted through time until we reached to the point of last year that I can say our friendship relationship progressed into something special (again). And by this year, we made it official to the public (family and friends) that we were coming back together after sharing this trip that he gifted me for my birthday.

This trip was very surprising and special, a milestone in its way, so I wanna share this to all of you here in Hive, in 3speak, as aside from a celebration, I also made it in a way that future travelers can learn some ideas on how to explore Hong Kong in just 4 days.

I hope you like it and enjoy watching our travel vlog.

xoxo,

-Kim, thestrollingmind

I recently traveled to Hong Kong and discovered the best currency stalls along Nathan Road.

Chungking Mansion is very accessible to tourists and visitors as it is only across Tsim Sha Tsui station. When strolling around going to Victoria Harbour, every can definitely pass by on the area.

I hope this helps in your future visit to Hong Kong.

xoxo,

-Kim

On my previous post, I have shared about the fluvial parade of Sinulog Festival in our City, well it was the entire province of Cebu who were celebrating the one of the grandest festival of the country.

After the fluvial parade, we headed back to Talisay City where the ancestral house of the Aznars- a well known family in Cebu, is located and still standing through time.

The Aznar family owns a university in the City, where I graduated, and several companies across the country and even nursing home in the US. But aside from a tycoon family, they are also into sports and watersports whom the young generations are so into it.

As someone who are into watersports, they also owns speedboats and jetskis where they used in participating in the fluvial parade. It was the teens who played along the 5 jetskis into the water, and the titos and the titas for the 2 speedboats to be participated on the said event.

It was fun! Specially on the part when we headed home and the tito literally speeded the boat into the coasts of Cebu. Sometimes, we were almost out of our seats and found our butts dancing up away as we hit the big waves coming from the other boats, lol! It was fun and an amazing experience.

Hello Everyone!

Sharing this first time experience of mine to actually join the fluvial parade in the water on my own city- Cebu City Philippinesas we celebrate the Sinulog Festival. On the previous years, I am only one of the crowd witnessing the goosebumping tradition in the bay of Cebu.

Sinulog Festival is a celebration in Cebu to honor the holy child- Snr. Sto. Niño. As a catholic and a devotee, we begin the feast on a fluvial parade, aside from the 9-days novena-mass, commemorating the arrival of Christianity of the Cebuanos (people of Cebu) when a relic of the holy child was found in a shore of Cebu.

Then, a parade on the street and holy masses then follows on the succeeding day, and of course, the party on the streets. Sinulog is one of the grandest and very-known festival out of the many festivals in the Philippines.

The experience was fun and fulfilling specially when I got to tried it on a speedboat with my cousin and the family of her husband. I have come to see the beauty of Cebu in the waters, we were sailing through the sea of Talisay City down to SRP and to the Piers. The seawater was just so calm and pretty that morning, complimenting well with the sunrise and the CCLEX bridge.
