Saturday Sunday Funday @Osmeña Peak-Kawasan Falls

Its a great Saturday Sunday Funday Celebratation
  with new friends to share the experience with. 
 DAY I

Last April 28-29, 2012 me "Shnen" and the Ligid Lapok Gang went trekking to Osmeña Peak which is the Highest Peak in Cebu and is approximately 1042 meters ASL. Trivia: Do you know that the Osmena Peak is named after President Sergio Osmeña, Sr., because the place used to be his favorite horse-riding destination. hehe Now we know :)

So to get there we first rode a Mini-Bus to Brgy.Mantalongon, Dalaguete. We went to the terminal which is located at a Petron Station just a few walks from USJR-Main Campus near Freedom Park.

Me and Ate Dan(my new tagalog friend) while waiting for the bus to be full.

 The view i got from the bus that tells me we are nearing Brgy. Mantalongon.

 We arrived there at 9:30 am, the bus still waited for it to be full so we departed at 11:00am and arrived in the Mantalongon Market at 2:00pm.

Thats me with the Neon green arm warmers haha.. :D

We ate our lunch there, then started trekking to the  Mantalongon Barangay Hall to get registered or log.in / this is really important in case there are emergencies.

You see the little guy with the white cap. That is Kenneth our guide.

Then we started trekking to Osmena Peak.

just look at how luscious those greens are..haha

my fellow trekkers who look like ants with this view.

Water Break/Picture Taking Break haha

Me posing while waiting for the others hehe..

 After 2 and a half hours of trekking , we finally made it to the base camp where we instantly set up our camps before sunset.

almost sunset.

Me and my cousin Kuya Christian(the guy wearing blue) setting up our tent.

While we still got some time before sunset. We climbed up the peak and took some wonderful pictures.

Me and my lovely cousins, Ate Christine and Kuya Mark(the couple with same shirt and cap) and Kuya Christian. And my Tagalog friends Ate Showbiz(Yes, that's her real name) and Ate Dan.

A group picture except some weren't able to join because they were afraid of how high we were.

There were some unexpected happenings that happened that night which almost started a Search Party but things went well and nothing bad happened. Before bedtime me and some of the trekkers played this game with cards called Detective/Killer which made me remove my jacket and socks in the cold freezing night. Then when it was about 10pm, the stars were blocked out by the clouds which means it was fogging or it would rain so we went to SLEEP! ZzzZzZzZZZZzzz...

.Saturday Sunday Funday Celebration.

Day II

We woke up like 5am. Well actually i woke up like 3am in the morning because it was so damn cold. haha I slept in a tent with Ate Christine and Kuya Mark so i was in good hands in case i would get sick or something haha. We ate our breakfast then picture taking time again hehe..

Our Base Camp, this photo was taken from the Peak and Yes, there's a fog in that picture.

After packing up at around 8:00am we took group pictures first before starting the 7hour trek to Kawasan Falls in Badian.

The Whole Gang!

that Orange point is our Starting Point.

Then the TREK BEGINS!

Enjoying a Pit stop with Ate Dan and Ate Showbiz.

Pit Stop with them at the Coconut place.

 After 6-7 hours of Trekking i think,
We Finally Made It!

Just look at how blue the water is. This is the 1st waterfall by the way because the 2nd and 3rd waterfall is closed by the government to restore it back to Nature which is a really marvelous thing. :)

They are climbing up there through the stones to get to the Jacuzzi Part which is a really nice place to relax after that whole day of trekking. Of course we waited 10-15minutes before diving in so we wont get cramps.

 We took off from the 3rd Waterfall in Kawasan at around 6:00pm and it was already starting to get dark. We actually saw/experienced some mythical creatures there but i don't wanna talk about it, it gives me goosebumps.

We arrived at the waiting shed at around 7:00pm but the next bus arrives at 8:00pm so we waited for a while for the bus. We where actually planning on camping there in case we cant hop on a bus back to the city hahaha.

Look how tired i am.

 The Bus Finally arrived around 8:00pm and we arrived at the city at 11:15pm. When i sat at the Bus, i immediately went to sleep knowing it would take 3-4 hours before we arrived.

Me and the gang, at Chowking Banawa eating a well deserved delicious meal after 2 days in Nature :)

Well that Ends my
