Last Saturday, while I was nursing feelings of getting left-out of the graduation ceremonies going around, my mom, sisters and I got invited by Tita Lea (the mother of France) to go to Pagsanjan with her and her daughter. And so, we woke up at the crack of dawn the next day, and went on a 3 hour roadtrip with the end goal of shooting the rapids! XD
It was great! XD The scenery was great, almost straight out of a safari movie or something, and at the end of the boat ride down the river, we even got to ride a raft under Pagsanjan falls!!! I swear Vigile, you have to try it sometime! It's for nature lovers, definitely. We saw the prettiest dragonflies too! It had a plain black body, with opaque black wings. And then, when these wings fluttered open, they were the brightest green and blue color. Nice. And we also spotted some really cute birds, one with the brightest blue color, and another colored orange and gray. <3
Anyway, shooting the rapids was great, and so was riding the raft under the falls. (We even saw the cave underneath the falls. XD) We then took the three hour trip back to manila and we were home before the sun was gone. ^^ Unfortunately, we were unable to stop by any store to buy pasalubong. T_T And ironically, Pagsanjan is one of those places where my family LOVES the pasalubong food. (Which isn't very common.) There's buko pie and special Pagsanjan bibingka and espasol, etc.
So moving on, I'll try to upload some pictures in my multiply (imagine, I actually braved using a camera while shooting the rapids. Hehe...). Try it guys! The boatmen working there need tourists. There are so many of them, about 950, that they can only take out their boat once a week (cause they have a number waiting line system). So in the meantime while waiting for their turn, some drive tricycles, while others have no other jobs. Kawawa sobra.
