"The heights charm us, but the steps do not; with the mountain in our view we love to walk the plains." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Still fresh from a great weekend getaway at Gensan's Tuna Festival, another weekend after that was spent at the stunning highlands of Kapatagan in the City of Digos located at the Province of Davao Del Sur. This time, I was with my equally adventurous friends - the RTours.

Arrivals at the Rest House |
At the top of the hill, the place was covered with darkness. There were playful fireflies at the nearby trees that catch our attention. At the house, there was no electricity, hence, the kerosene lamp and the some candles served as our main light for the whole evening. Since it was dark, I could not entirely see the four corners of the house. But what I notice was the house was entirely made of woods. Somewhere, I felt I was in a log cabin. Cool and peaceful.

The Cold Evening Outside The Rest House |
The Food Preparation
Inside the house, few of my audacious friends started to prepare our dinner. And in the coldness of the night lit plainly by lamps, we feasted our scrumptious dinner full of laughter, stories-telling-a-lie and fun that heat up the freezing evening. It was a convivial dinner.
THE CASTS
The Never Ending Evening Fun
But for me, the funniest part of all was the melodramatic "Confession of Love and Let Go" that turned to be a comedic act of unstoppable contagious "Dugtungan Ng Kanta". My very good friend Lilian Bahay was the star of the night. She will always be our star. Our lovable sweet star. A woman with deep substance - a definition of real woman in love!
"Just Another Woman In Love - The Photo Anthology"
Minutes Later....
And she sings: "Just another woman in love, a kid out of school
A fire out of control, just another fool
You touch me and I'm weak, I'm a feather in the wind
And I can't wait to feel you touching me again
With you I'm just another woman, just another woman in love"
A fire out of control, just another fool
You touch me and I'm weak, I'm a feather in the wind
And I can't wait to feel you touching me again
With you I'm just another woman, just another woman in love"
Carried away by so much fun and gaiety, we didn't realize it was already 3 in the very morning. Time to settle the night, rest and get ready for the big day at stunning nad thrilling Highlands of Kapatagan.
