Reminiscing the Past

It was late July when I got back to Caraycaray Banderahan and notice it was high tide and so we left our motorbike at the Ilawod church with my brother, sister, cousins and my cute little niece and so we headed our way with a salt water on the road, it was not unusual though because when I was younger the water really filled the road but not too overflowing like what we’ve observe today. We walked not far from the church and the water is below the knee and for some part is above the knee until we reach the Banderahan Islet.

There is really a big difference in the place where my younger memory days is. The Banderahan is the place where the family hangs out together with occasions or no occasions, it depends on any occurrence.

Back to my childhood days I could still remember its almost every month we got to this place with my family and relatives and we all had fun and don’t even matter if our skin gut sun burn or we get really dark brown as long as we enjoyed the day before going home but so sad when its leaving the salt water and we still wanted to swim. Ohhhh!

So if I am going to compare those days from where my childhood days of what had happened today in the said place, of course there is really a big changes. So, the water is overflowing from the last portion of the cemented road (it could not be just the last portion) until you get to the isle. The houses before is far from the salt water with a big distance unreachable by the ocean and a wide space where you can cross not soaking your feet or knees in the salt water, but now, a gigantic difference happened due to getting of sands and gravel in Banderahan, people are too abusive and don’t even think what might happen if they don’t stop getting those stuff.

The houses were moved up of the elevated islet, I kind of don’t know how to explain it but the water is now connected with each other and the islet is almost going to vanish especially in high tide you cant cross the opening area of the islet if you are not going to soak in the salt water because there is no other way for you to get in the place but to swim or to walk above the hips sea water level. It was kinda disappointing because of the what if’s, what if it’ll vanish? So the good memories will be vanished too? Or it will be just a memory? And how about the future kids, are they not going to enjoy and see the beautiful place where my/our childhood fun memories is? Its very disappointing when all of the good stuff will be soon come to an end due to abusiveness of nature.

Well, folks that was the miserable part but there is still a good thing happen. At the last portion of the islet where most of the houses were move up is a nice view and nice clear salt water is and with new cottages is build up for business (government business) for some people, family and visitors to have shelter in.

Let us protect our nature folks!

CARAYCARAY RIVER CRUISE

Finally cruisin the Caraycaray River Cruise which took us for a few months just to make it happen, we've been planning it with my cousin and friends to explore the Caraycaray river for a few months now but luckily find the time at May 22, 2011 which is a high tide, so its good to see the sights of the river. This is the newly discovered tourist attraction this year by LGU where its located in my hometown, so its just a walking distance til you reach the river. Since this was discovered for an ideal cruise, our curiosity knocks and we want to explore it by ourselves too and now that we've finally cruise it for ourselves , it was a priceless experience!

I remember my childhood days where we hang out with my grandfather crossing along the river to his rice fields and swimming carefree with friends in this river until our skin gets dark and don't bother because we did really enjoy the river. It’s so much fun to remember childhood days, the playful childhood and don’t bothered about what’s going to happen next, the happy-go-lucky thing.

Caraycaray Bridge is just 2 kilometers away reaching the Municipality of Naval and this serves as the starting spot of the river cruise and Barangay Caraycaray fits to be very ideal for cruise because of the length, size and location. The natural attraction place was ready to be develop and once its fully develop then it’s ready to be promoted as another tourist attraction.

Well, of course I would be proud that my birthplace would be another destination for tourist or sightseer and for whose looking for a new adventure with friends to hang out; I recommend this cruise for stress free and to explore the soothing beauty of nature.

Scenic Friday

Holy Friday, April 22, 2011 when my friends, sister and my cousins are ready to go on our journey to the white cross. I woke up at 5:30 in the morning because I was thrilled to go to the top of the mountain for the first time for the reason that I am very curious what would it be look like or what experience would I encounter in this day and when I was in elementary days this have been a curiosity to me because every holy week, people would go there for sacrifices & different reasons.

At 7:00 am when all of us are set and ready to go, we start walking... since most of us are first timer, we don't know really how long would it take. It was a beautiful sunny day with so much talking and laughing as we try reaching the mountain, it was kind of not so easy to be climbing the mountain if you get lost and use the wrong way, so it was sort of adventurous without any equipments for climbing but our bare hands.

We didn't feel tired as we go along and even if we are perspiring because of too much heat and struggling climbing some damp land and holding/helping each other to reach the peak but everytime we look what's down the hill, we are so much delighted of the scenic nature and its so worth it to hit the highest point of the mountain and feeling overjoyed as you see the beauty of nature. It took us 1 hour and 5 minutes to be on top of the mountain and there are lots of people who were there and had overnight on that peak, so we find a place where we can sit and just look downhill. We are very noisy when we got there, because we had lost track, so it took us long to get there but we were happy of the experience. So, after finding a place where we can have a look at the beautiful nature piece of art, we just stare at it silently and was so proud to watch God's art.

It was one of great Holy week experience watching the beautiful view of nature and reaching the big white cross at the peak of the mountain. I know people and my companions have had fun and so am I.
