Tinuy-an Falls, Surigao del Sur, Philippines – Photo Tour : Tourism – Week 03, Day 07

Tinuy-an Falls is like this during summer. But you can see its full mighty force during the rainy days.

 .

Tinuy-an is a 3-tiered falls. As you can see in the photo, this is the way to the 2nd tier, located at the right side of the falls.

 .

 This is the 2nd tier.

.

 The 3rd tier, can be climbed with the use of a rope at the right side of the falls. The floor was quite slippery and it’s advisable to go barefoot or wear rubber shoes. My girls were invited guests for picture-taking which they obliged readily.

.

This is the view from the third tier looking down.the 2nd. Looks like a wide pool.

God’s Trial

San Juan de Sahagun Parish Church or Tigbauan Catholic Church,
Tigbauan, Iloilo, Philippines

when drops of liquid leaked out of my lamenting sobs

coming from the deepest echoes of my  suffering soul

i’m drowning in the river of my own weep

going blindly against the  flow like a black sheep

fighting it out and conquered what i feel

the world on my back too heavy my ordeal

aching bones loaded eating all the gained fame  

overweight bundles are too much but given the same

i dug up my faith to reach the far and thorny finish line

my skin bursting, knees were trembling i didn’t mind

i dropped on the ground where my sweat and blood meet

the nearer i got, my strength i have to compete

a stone’s throw, strength depleted i’m not in vain

several times the ground kissed my knees in pain

little of my psyche remained but never retreated

   as i won God’s trial my faith remained undefeated

–oOo–  

I pissed on my bed last night…

i dived into her life

i was met by a splash

i thought it was my prize

only to realize

i pissed on my bed last night

.

because i was dreaming

of a beautiful girl

i asked something routine

as i kissed her on her lips

she swallowed me whole

.

but i struggled inside her

to free myself soonest

she freed me at last

only to find me out

from her chicken ass

.

so i shouted at her

why did you let me pass

from your sewage of broth

i’m supposed to be out

from  your busy bad mouth

.

so i have awaken

from this lake of urine

i wanted to dive again

to be swallowed back

and exit in another opening

.

but the sun has risen

and i’m late for work

tomorrow i’ll sleep again

and i won’t forget something

beside me is a metal bin
