I do not like reading articles that are too verbosely written, I did not even realize I have written one with so much verbosity after reading my last post here in my blog. I do not have any intention however to edit my post. Just leave it as it were. It’s up to the reader if they’ll find it amusing or painstakingly boring, although I would hope it would always be the former.
So we enjoyed our little time with the cute harmless Tarsiers. They have names actually but, the introduction was so fleeting, I couldn’t remember their names anymore. I wonder how a person would react if we were just introduced and after less than a week I’d forget his name! It would be too rude… but they’re not human so I’m excused.
The best thing Bohol could offer to its visitors is not those that I have already described in this journal actually. I know, those who had been in this Island would somehow agree that the best thing we can enjoy viewing here is the numerous mounds that are randomly sitting on the landscape of the municipality of Carmen now known as the “Chocolate Hills”.
This view is something to behold! Seeing this site would make you be amazed at how nature made this possible. Well I’ve read how the tectonic plates and the fact that the Philippines is on the path of the earth’s Ring of Fire does not actually sate my curiosity. The ‘how this nature made this into what it is now’ is something that can not be explained easily by science. This is maybe a part of the divine universal design and this is not what I think as something to be considered as an accident done by nature. Well, whatever! I know there are other things on earth much more magnificent and tremendously fascinating view than this, but this is definitely one of a kind that is accessible to my place and I’m so glad I’ve been here to experience this view!
The view from where I stood is definitely breathtaking. It would had been better though when you would spent time here alone, but I was with a big group of tourists and other than us there were also some noisy chinks (sorry for the word and slang…) chattering at my back. It is true that you can appreciate nature at its best when you are alone with it, confronting the capabilities of its forces and beauty, and conquer whatever it is that makes you think you are less noteworthy than the creation around you…
Here though I was trying hard to focus, trying to make a connection with the spirits of the environment but only got so distracted, not just by several chattering creatures at my back, but by some hunks which happened to be around during this tour. Kenneth definitely just as he normally does, was busy again taking pictures of himself and to some random guys… LOL…
After here we went to the last destination of the tour, back to Panglao Island where the Dauis Church can be found. Similar with Baclayon, it was built around the 17th century and mysteriously has an interior spring situated right at the nave of the church. Local people believe that the water is miraculous and so visitors would somehow think it is so, and they would line up to ask for a bottle of agua bendita. I had collected too and I brought it with me here in Surigao. Perhaps I will use it to gargle everytime I would commit oral abuse, you know what that means!... LOL!…
