I'd classify myself as the average type. I'm not so brave as to try bungee jumping - one of the bravest things, if not the scariest and most hilarious is to ride the white water raft Philippine style. It's unlike the white water raft that's fun, smooth and breezy. This is in the Philippines to set the picture properly, so safety is really 'guaranteed'.

Take for instance the fact that it's down a raging river - and we ride a tire tube, I guess that's why it's called river tubing - an old truck's tire tube to make it sustainable. We go high-speed because the water's fast at the Saub River. For your convenience, handles are placed on the left and right side. Just so you can secure your life as you go furiously fast. Plus there are guides who will go with you depending on your size. So it's you, the tire tube and the guides.

River Tubing at Saub River

Rain or shine, these fearless guides are ready to take you on their favorite trip. As for our case, we rode after the rain. Good move, bad move? We moved - faster than a speeding bullet.

The dips were crazily amazing! The adrenaline pumped like nothing in my life. I was shouting until I have the voice to spare. How can you really describe river tubing in the middle of a rain forest? Amazing!
