Bulusan Lake

About 630 kms south of Manila, 350+ MASL and at the heart of Bulusan Volcano National Park (BVNP) lies the Green Lake Bulusan. This is one of Ravenlock's fave place since its just a few kilometers away from his home town, a place where he can relax and escape from the tiring urban life. It’s a nature trip, tropical rainforest surrounds the lake, you can hear bees humming while they collect nectars, you can hear sounds of “duli-duli” (cicada) all over the place and from time to time, different kind of birds can also be seen flying around the lake. A cement path is built around the lake for visitors who want to trek and enjoy the scenes.



Kayaking is also available in the lake.



The lake is currently managed by volunteers from Aggrupation of Advocates for Environmental Protection or locally known as the Agap-Bulusan.

From Sorsogon City, the lake is accessible either through the town of Irosin, passing the towns of Casiguran and Juban. From Irosin, it is another 10 kms to the site. The other is passing through a very scenic route overlooking the Pacific Ocean through the towns of Gubat, Barcelona and the poblacion of Bulusan town.

Update

Toinks! It's been almost 8 months since I last updated this blog.. been lazy. Anyway, today I decided to put some stuffs here.. wait for it.. :)

Driver's License Renewal

Ravenlock went to LTO Sorsogon today to renew his expired driver's license. When he was about to pay the registration fees, he found out that he needed to pay to MMDA for some traffic violation he committed dated Feb 2007. That was crazy and he can't believe it coz as far as he know, he doesn't drive around Manila that time and he don't own a car. It was so unfair.

Anyway, he was oblige to pay to save any further trouble, and will have to wait for 3 days to clear his name and proceed with his license renewal.

Domain and Web Hosting

Ravenlock’s been thinking a lot on registering his own domain, so he’s been browsing the net looking for local, cheap but good and reliable web hosting service for starters. He’s been considering philhosting, but found out some bad feedbacks regarding the company.

A few days ago, Hostingphil added Ravenlock on facebook and it looks promising. So he looks for reviews about the company through “google” and found few (and it doesn’t have negative feedbacks) so he just assumes that it’s offering good service. For now, it’s his top option.

One of these days, surely, Ravenlock would go buy his own domain and build his own website that is within his full control.

Back to Bicol

Ravenlock is back here in Bicol. He just spent his new year at Lucena City, at Sheki’s place then went to Manila to attend Chyi’s (a college org sis) wedding at Mango Farm, Antipolo.

On his way home, he watched “Ang Panday” at Ali Mall, Cubao to kill some time while waiting for the bus going to Bicol. The film was ok and Iza Calzado looks great!

Bought some upgrades for his M4 CQB (a 145 spring and spring guide), needed more power for airsoft wargames (plans to buy more upgrades). Hungers for M4 Stubby Killer.
