A SPECIAL DAHILAYAN ADVENTURE
As I was trying to come up with an article about
wonderful vacation spots here in the Philippines, I remembered Dahilayan
Adventure Park in Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon. It boasts to have Asia’s longest dual zipline. Actually, I’ve
been there twice. I was able to bravely experience the long, longer, and the
longest ziplines in June 2010. Indeed, it was an awesome adventure! I felt like
I was flying! I wished it never really ended... flying then was amazing!

However, my second trip to Dahilayan was more fun and
was more memorable. I was with one of the most special persons in my life--- my
Mom.
Me in Dahilayan on June 2012.
My one and only Mommy posing with the animal figures in Dahilayan.
Supposedly it
was a summer outing with my branch mates. But since we were allowed to bring with
us our loved ones, I chose to bring my Mom with me. (Perhaps I can also again
bring her along during our next branch outing. Haha!)
Hand salute? Haha!
Best buddies
During that
trip, I discovered the childlike nature of my Mom. I never expected her to be
that game and that adventurous. Even though she is hypertensive, she managed to
ride and enjoy the Luge (one of the must-try rides in Dahilayan). She even
raced with me! The joy in her eyes was indescribable. Her ear-to-ear smile can
spell her amusement. Have you ever tried racing with your Mom? It's one of the most fun experiences in life, I tell you.
My Mom is
truly amazing, and simply wonderful.
That
trip to
Dahilayan could not have been that special if not for her. She was my
buddy, my
photographer ( she loves taking "stolen pictures", it amuses her) , my
cheerleader, my playmate, my choreographer, my best friend, my
sister--- my incredible mother. Whew!
Dahilayan
Adventure Park is Cagayan de Oro’s favorite destination. Your trip to the City
of Golden Friendship is regretfully incomplete if you will not be able to visit
there. It’s just around 2 hours away from Cagayan de Oro. The trip in going
there is all worth it when you reach the Forest Park.
Go with your friends, your officemates, your families, and loved ones. Various rides and attractions await you.
Giving tribute to our mothers should not just be done once a year. A mother is a mother 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. I have long realized how blessed I am to
have a mother
like my Mom. She’s simply one of a kind. She’s beautiful inside and out,
and truly special. A
brilliant teacher, a doting wife, a caring sister, a thoughtful
daughter, a
good friend, a perfect mother.
I
LOVE YOU MOM! HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY!
AND TO ALL THE MOTHERS OUT THERE, HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY!
