"Loving yourself allows you to connect to your own inner divinity and to know you will never again be alone". -- Gabriela Kortsch.

One of the most divine, solemn, and heavenly place I have ever been to. It was my third time to visit this place but there is no the same feeling every time I am here. I t always feels the first time. The solemnity of this place, the peacefulness it brings to the inner sense of me, is simply unexplainable. From the people who really are devotees of Divine Mercy, hearing a word from them, they all says closely the same thing that, "it is only when you pray faithfully, when you open thy heart, and receive God, that is when you will find total peace and feel His spirit". I honestly believe I felt His presence when I took the steps upward toward what the call the "Heart of Jesus". As you reach the top, you will find an altar where you can kneel down and pray. Given only a few seconds to pray, with only few words I prayed, it felt as if I have said everything that I wanted to say unto Him. Truly, God knows what your heart desires even before you speak. That was how I felt. Not everyone has experienced such feeling as I had. Thus, lucky are those who were able to find their inner peace. Yearly, I visit Divine Mercy and I have seen how this place has improved a lot. Hopefully, a lot of people will continue to patronize and help this place be preserved and enhanced even more.

THE BEAUTY OF TINAGO FALLS

 ILIGAN CITY : TINAGO FALLS

 " Good shoes take you to good places." Indeed! 

          Situated southeast of the Philippines. Nestled in the midst of spectacular mountains and green lush

forests lies the hidden natural beauty of Iligan City. Well known as the city of Majestic Waterfalls. There are a lot of good things to discover and experience in Iligan City that will leave any visitor captivated.

           It was my very first time to finally have visited this beautiful spot in Iligan City, the Tinago Falls. "Tinago" is a Filipino term which means hidden. It is amazing how this falls was being hidden in a deep ravine. Trekking to the falls requires a total of 500 descending steps to the staircase. Taking each step going down was extremely exhausting but it has really nothing to compare to the breath-taking, fulfilling and refreshing sensation that you will feel upon seeing this majestic falls. You may include this to your list of one of the perfect places to visit, for vacation, or when looking for a place to escape from your mundane activities and to your usual ambiance and views you often see in the city. I truly had a wonderful time in my short visit in this place. And a quality time to know myself even more by exploring to places I have never been. Then I thought to myself, all of the physical pain, sweat, and tired feeling from going up and down the long, rough, stiff, curvy stair was a total sacrifice but was absolutely all worth it. It must be preserved and protected so as for our next generations to see how lovely this God's creation is.
