Week 6 - Dahon Challenge "The hardest challenge ever!", that's what they've complained about as they prepared their next getup. Well, for me, it is! When i saw them really struggled in crafting different kind of foliage to transform into one leafy gown, output is deemed to be 'rejected' again. But no! Not this time. An hour upon knowing this week's challenge, many plants had been 'amputated' as they've tried leaves from kapayas, saging, kaimito, talisay and kolo - but all went "epic fail" because most of them are easy-withered leaves which will slowly shrivels from time to time right after detaching from its main stem. It is also a challenge for me for i am racing against time before their leaves' soul leaves.

With the coordinates of 11°08’47”N 124°25’52”E, the Bondari Peak is located southeast of the municipality of Villaba Leyte and lies 3,756m away from the main barrio of Abijao. With an elevation of 341masl, the place got its name derived from the English word “boundary” because the place is located precisely along with municipalities of Villaba and Matag-ob, Leyte. And later was changed to Bondari as there’s this story where three hikers asked for the name of the place, but the children they met along Tolingon trail pronounced it wrong. Instead of ‘boundary’, they said the word ‘bondari’, and from that time on, the place retained the name Bondari. The place is a wonderful destination with 360° breathtaking views and landscapes. Here, you’ll get a chance to see the popular Kalanggaman island, the historical Buga-buga hills, nearby towns, and the steaming Tongonan mountain range. . I usually climb to the top through the Hubasan, Butnga, and Tolingon trails, but th

Week 5 – Mananap Challenge Zebra, tiger, koala, leopard, jaguar or cheetah? I don’t know what animal they are depicting to but this week’s surprise challenge, Jessa and Kenneth amaze me with their dexterities in making ordinary materials into art. With a limited time of 30 minutes, the challenge requires a skill from getup transformation, tribal maquillage to ‘buwis buhay’ anthropomorphic poses in a location filled with driftwoods along Linao river in Abijao. Can anyone guess who’s wearing a pajama and who’s wearing a table mantle? plus of course the skills in putting their own make-up to turn faces into one unrecognizable alien – I mean ‘mananap’ is remarkable. So what can you say about their mimicry? Is it depictive or defective? Tell us why.

Week 4 - Pukot Challenge The bubbling waves developed from monsoon winds and the setting of the sun behind the haze adds a little drama in our challenge this week as we dared to step into rumbling waters which made me and these two takers, Jessa and Kean, struggling just to stand firm in order to get a fine snap. And despite their heavy costume, a fishnet, every 'slapping splashes' that took them down did not stop their drive and still managed to get up in turning both 'frustrated dreams' into that reality. Whose craft stood out the most in our Abijao 's Next Craft Model Challenge today?

Week 2 - Basura Challenge In an open yet illegal dump site here in  Abijao , Jessa and Kean were given only 30 minutes to create a dress out of trash. With a few items like plastic wrappers, diapers, flower pots, trash bags, and bottles, they turn a seemingly useless garbage into a quite 'hmmpressive' costumes. So with this week's theme, whose picture portrayed the most? Drop your comments below and let us know who slayed the challenge. Thanks!  😂

I thought Gibitngil is among of those usual islands where sand and sea is only the thing it can offer. I was wrong! The island surprised me with towering walls of rock I haven’t seen before plus with their thrilling facilities like waterslide, swing, and ziplines did certainly make my day so fun and splashy! It stole my heart. I would highly recommend this awesome destination in Medellin, Cebu especially to those laagan who don’t just love dipping in the sea but also taking off extreme challenges like: 1.) Ziplining from cliff to cliff where you can glide over beautiful turquoise water and enjoy the vast backdrop of Bantayan island from afar and 2.) Cliff diving on their 40ft above water suspended platform (well, height varies depending on tide level which in our case last Sunday, it was only 38ft on a 1.75meters tide.) which is not good for a fainthearted human! At the top, unease felling will engulf your soul but once you’re in midair, a priceless feeling o
