It was so gloomy [and cold] the entire day last Sunday. So we decided to get on our bikes and go to Cantipla, a mountain baranggay near Balamban. We were stuck in Cantipla for a short while because it rained really hard. Fog covered the road [which I forgot to take a picture of] and V-hires taking passengers to and from Balamban had to reduce speed and turn their headlights on.
Cantipla is famous for its sweet corn, very fresh produce, and fog which could easily equal the mists of Baguio and Tagaytay . 🙂
A little warmth
Fresh fruits and veggies along the Transcentral Highway

I’m not sure what “Kuot gyud!” means, but that guy will be squeezing your kalamansi juice later in the afternoon!
We circumnavigated Upper Cebu while I was there,crossing on the Transcentral from Balamban back to Cebu. I was amazed how HUGE the vistas are back there!
How do those people who live down off the road on the ridges get water?

You’ve capture the greatest moment – ku-ot sa lubot! Mura raba’g miingon ang babaye sa tapad nga “Sakto na Dong! Kay mabun-og imong sampot! Matod pa ni hoz49, magpuga pa to’g kalamasi.. mao tingali nga ang ubang kalamasi juice pwerti rang asloma. Sorry, kalamansi! Ambot lang!
Lain pa’y ato. Dili ba ta magkurog sa katugnaw diha? Mura nindot himoong saksi ang lakaw sa mga saad sa gugma sa?
