 Tiklas falls is located at Brgy. Lawit Of Gingoog City. It is 7 km away from the National Highway and can be reached by riding skylab (modified single motorcycle) or multicab for hire from the Poblacion of Gingoog City. If you have your own car you can just drive your way towards Tiklas falls. The road is well cemented thus transportation is not really a problem. It was father's day when we decided to celebrate it away from home. We visited Tiklas Falls for the first time with the whole clan, and by saying that our grandpa and other relatives were with us. 

Sto. Nino Cold Spring.  Camiguin island is not really something new to me. My mom was born in Sagay, Camiguin Island. My mom's ancestors and relatives are living in Sagay. Having said that Sto. Nino cold spring is not really that foreign to me. We have been here quiet a few times already. And since in Sagay we live near the river, we know how cold the waters is.  Recently, I visited the Sto. Nino cold spring in Catarman with the CFC-Singles For Christ North Eastern Mindanao Full time workers. So this is how it is today.   It now has a decent bathroom and comfort rooms for the guests,  open cottages , landscaped surroundings and a number of stalls outside selling pasalubong pieces and people offering meals to the tourists or visitors. 

The Divine Mercy Shrine in El Salvador City in Misamis Oriental is a go-to place for Sacred Heart of Jesus Devotees. We would have to set it straight that this is not a tourist destination at all. For Catholics like me, this place is sacred and must be treated with utmost respect and love. The shrine was built quite some time now, but I only got to visit the church last November of 2014. My second visit and the first visit for this year 2015, just happened last January 3, 2015. It's my grandpa, and my two (2) siblings first visit.

I have been coming back and forth Medina, Misamis Oriental because my relatives lives here. I have been enjoying the beauty of it's white beach and cold springs for almost few decades now. Since birth, we've been coming home to Medina every Fiesta, grand parents birthdays and anniversaries, family special occasions, Christmas or new years celebrations. 

It has been almost 10 years since my last visit at Midway White Beach Resort . While I was searching the Internet I found out that Midway White Beach Resort is a budding Aqua Sport Resort here in Northern Mindanao. Though I have seen some pictures about the new amenities, it's really different when you try them. While planning for the gathering, majority wanted a wet adventure gathering and so we topped Midway White Beach Resort as our best choice. And indeed, the right choice! For only Php 1700.00 each minimum of 12 persons (fees may vary, please contact the Operations Manager for the right quote) you will already experience Borge's Aqua Sport Adventure . You will be able to test/try all the rides and most of all, Aircon accommodation , 3 meals (3 course + dessert) and 2 snacks  included.  That's a great deal! Here's a glimpse of what we had.
