That is, as people age, they wander into the trees, nature and grow more united with God — they pray much, appreciating the nature… But i believe Im young.. why is it i better off with Zen Garden Spa and nature trips?… you could see my recent camping beside the falls…. :)Reply Vic saysJuly 19, 2011 at 1:07 pm@mur2s… i had similar dream actually i been living there for quite some time :) hahaha nice to be back … i got lot of bruises and got tanner …Reply mur2s saysJuly 19, 2011 at 8:59 ami cant help appreciating the views. one stunning photographer can only do this. i could dream living in there for the whole eternity.Reply mur2s saysJuly 19, 2011 at 1:19 amnice shotsReply james saysJuly 18, 2011 at 12:02 pmboulevard is stunning, want to spend the rest of the day xa babaw…galling uso linog now a days daw ka dilikado… nami kung mu free slide pakadto xa dalum…para d kapoy panaug..Reply james saysJuly 16, 2011 at 3:29 pmmarcos ka sulod man kamu xa harpa cave? gegante has alot of stories about treasure.Reply Marcos saysJuly 16, 2011 at 4:26 pmNot yet. Yes, the locals (or Giants, as they sometimes like to call themselves) have a lot of “treasure” stories to tell. Bilog nga gab-i (or maski pila pa ka nights) nga sturya lng about sa bulawan, pwede. Siyempre nalingaw man ako sa pamati :) We only went to Pawikan Cave and this smaller cave near the “boulevard” (forgot the name) but I was told there are many interesting caves in Gigantes.Reply midnightclubPCL saysJuly 16, 2011 at 10:47 amist.
