A few hours at the Cagsaua ruins and Daraga church





Any self-respecting tourist in Legazpi City must visit the Cagsaua ruins and Daraga church.








The Daraga Church exterior is marvelously old. But the inside had extensive renovations that one would no longer recognize it.







The Mayon volcano was really breathtakingly majestic. I just wish that the "pasaway" clouds allowed us to see the perfect cone. I guess, I have to visit this land that bears my name and is home to my mom.




The ruins, lovely ruins of Cagsaua. Good thing it was not destroyed further by Storm Reming. With the constant breeze, the wonderful view of Mayon, and the uniqueness of the place, one has the desire to just sit on the grass and enjoy the ambiance.



We had fun taking pictures! Or having our pictures taken!

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.

Chase the lion.
