White Water Tubing

They call this white water Pinoy style coz instead of raft they are using tubes that's why it's called white water tubing. Gay Carillo showed us an online photo album of her friend who did this and being an adventurer (OWS!!!) ourselves we told her to arrange for our group...


... and so here we are posing at the bridge, the start of an adventure ride along the Cagayan river


part of the adventure is to jump off this bridge to go to your tubes below


and as I've told you, we are a bunch of adventurers (or should I say crazy people)


so, we jumped.... threes a company in every jump


there, happily posing with our assigned tubes and tubemates including the guide who will paddle for us


just starting the adventure ride yet we are already having so much fun


woooooooooooooooooooooooooo




there I am with my tubemates Tiny and Bing


the adventurers proudly pose for surviving the Cagayan river rapids, but it's not all rapids, there are portion also where you can relax and just enjoy the scenery, you can even have a dip in the river at some portion.

Posing at the jeepney that will take us back to our hotel and after this we had a taste of CDO's pastel...yummy =) check out destinations-cagayan for more information.

WOW Cagayan de Oro

Welcome to the golden friendship city, Cagayan de Oro aka CDO, the gateway to Northern Mindanao....copied from cagayan de oro official website.

Another sort of sponsored trip of IRRI, I love my workplace =). We attended the yearly conference of Crop Science Society of the Philippines and going around Del Monte farm is part of the educational trip for the participants.


Lizel and Naidz posing before the Del Monte logo


touring around the production area of Del Monte where the packaging of fresh pineapples is seen


from the packaging earlier to where they plant their pineapples


Tiny, Tita Y, me and Tita Miner supposedly showing the pineapple but it's so tiny that you can barely see it..sorry for that =(


the pineapple pickers in their full battle gears


took photos of their tricycle coz it's quite different from what we have here in Laguna, ours is smaller


trying out restaurants for seafood galore


a wok for sink and an old faucet....interesting things in the restaurant


another gimmick place


girls and some boy just want to have fun after a long day in the conference


the Water Science boys with Lizel


our CDO tricycle experience


they have an Ukay-ukay (U2) plaza, amazing!!! this street is close to traffic, they set-up their U2 stuffs in the street and on the other side of this U2 plaza are street food galore, maybe we stayed too long in this area that we forgot to take photos of the other side or we had too much food already....well I kinda drop my jaw at the sight of this so many U2 things around me


so glad the jaw dropping was not shown in this shot of mine =)
