This would be the last part, the story of my adventure- an exploration of love and inspiration. Uniqueness and the ability to learned other culture in my country. It is an adventure of realization,how much knowledge must be valued.

Staying there for 2 days was not easy for me. I need to learned to be brave of facing the water every morning, it was such a stupid thing that happens to me by not taking a bath every day. A whole 2 days of my vacation. My body cannot resist it, it was really cold and think cannot even move my hands to touch the water. By the way people there were not using any DASURECO supply,and not using and drinking DCWD water, so meaning people there were using really from the nature and there is no chemicals on their foods.

All people lived just a simple life, some had given a chance to have their own motor cycle(men) woman used to be a farmer as well. Struggles each day, you can observed- but kids were so affected. Most of them were farmer, their source of income.So meaning even young children who had not given a chance to go school or finish it,they were young farmer helping their parents to feed their siblings.

I think it was rubbish to think how sad their situation,but they don't have any choice but to do that. Dreams was sacrificed and do the duties were not really intitled for them. I put it my mind, that this is not just an adventure but a lesson to learn about life. Being responsible and good enough to make my dreams possible.

Those magnificent views of nature were all useless,the mountains with fogs, brooks, fish and all those stuff is not worth it to remember if there were no lesson and no reason why you did go to that place- it is not just an adventure but a realization of life. The situation will wake you up and the reason of life will gives you the clue what are we facing now. It is all CRISIS.

Well I did enjoy with that adventure, and lesson of life will be more important than just an adventure. Know how to comprehend-
A zigzag road,from Davao to Malita we will travel for 4 to 5 hours it depends on the bus driver. If he drove fast then that would be okay. On the road, riding a bus was really crucial,if your immune system is weak I think you will be feeling dizzy and somehow vomit. But thanks God I am not,so all those zig zag road was just really easy for me,no harsh, along way of travel makes you sleepy and your 2 bumpy mountain will felt numb, I think it is because of sitting down for how many hours. One,two,three, we arrive in the small but a cute town called Malita. In this place you can only use your cellphones and any gadgets that needs network support, and as well you can only charge your phone.

It is not my destination yet, after Malita I need to travel for an hour to reached the mountainous place of this town, will be riding a motor cycle,upgraded one, why I called it upgraded. Most of the way was really rough,drivers must do something to make their motor cycle resists this rough way. And the is a habal habal ( a motor cycle which can carry 5 or 6 people just one ride). How awesome is that huh. And that is also a means of their living their.

So now,the real challenge was one step ahead,I have to ride a habal habal to reached the peak and see the great place. On my way reaching the place, I was really afraid that might be we will gonna die,because of those big stones and the way. I am not wrong, I expect a great challenge when were gonna be climbing the mountain just to reached the place, and the driver was good enough I guess expert. So we crossed those hilarious and nerve wracking way,a little mistake of the driver,we will gonna be seen on the foot of the mountain. That would be terrific if we can made mistake so bad. Climbing and climbing like there is no end,rough road here and there,we are in between of those colossal mountain. The virgin forest is good,but afraid of its silence. Don't know what are those creatures living there.

So at last we reached the peak. And so enticing the beauty of the nature if you reached the peak,cool and a flower for the eyes,but we are not done yet,still need to go forth to reach the place where we will gonna slept,at this time I can say it would be soft and clean,though it is not the smooth one,but it will be okay. We reached the place a small village,where I will gonna stay for 2 long days. I am alone,but never afraid. No body can beat me when it comes in asking for help. They assist me and a warm greetings. A good smile. Well people here were good! But one thing I noticed was the children were rampant on the place. Ages 1 to 12 think hundreds of them. Whoah,some has no slippers,shirts, pants, and some of them don't wash faces yet. Still have those dried mucous on their faces. Such innocent.

Innocent of what is going on with our country and a hard situation of our politics. All eyes were innocent.

The last part-
Mountains,creek,hills,ocean,stream,brook,zigzag road,muddy way,fogs these are just few things I saw in my trip alone in a very deep place in Davao del Sur. A place of nowhere but a treasurer able moments that I experienced and cannot be paid. Those moment will remain on my heart, a part of my journey in this world.

Traveling far places that with out any relatives nor friends was such an awesome thing I love to do every time I got money to travel. Don't care if I am with friends or alone, always on my mind was the experienced that I cannot forget and would be a sweet great memories to be kept.

Conquering DAVAO del SUR, this is one of the farthest place in Philippines not saying with in the city of Davao but away from it, a hidden treasure and a marvelous place to live, a paradise and a peaceful place to dwell. I guess I am introducing this magnificent place so great huh. LOL-
Let me share you my once in a life time experience in that place.

It started with a non clear plan of where to go, it was friday afternoon me and my colleagues were having a coffee at one of the restaurant here in Davao,I my self a goofy guy always thinks adventure if I got little money to go. Well thanks God i have it. We planned about our shows and how to gain money from it. At last the meeting was done, and have to think back all those stuff that was bursting on my mind. And that was conquering Davao del sur. I am just conscious about how wonderful the place, since many of my friends used to tell me how awesome it is- hmmmmm, sounds interesting huh. Then later that night still never get the real answer on what would I gonna do,either would I travel or don't. Still strooling to convince my self to travel there were hesitations and doubts,might something wrong will gonna happen to me or what ever it is.

4 am,God I decide to travel alone! Well as an adventurous guy,I don't have fear of everything when it comes I come up with a good decision a plan and a steps to do when I am facing disaster. (Thanks God never happened at all.) The excitements and the extreme feeling of adventure cope up my world,think I was lost. At exactly 5 am, i went to the bus station and start traveling.
Cool, my plans succeed now,let conquer that place!
