Breathtaking Virgin Island in Cebu

We leaped out of bed as early as 5:00 am because my hubby and I were so excited for our island hopping to Virgin Island. And not only that, we will catch the sunrise. It was a cool refreshing morning as we walked on the shore of Budyong Beach Resort and a little later we stepped into our neighboring resort, the Kota Beach. The tide had just receded and what was left was the fragmenting sandy stretch. The creamy white sand was very fine. We had the beach all by ourselves.

It was a gloomy weekend when we visited my in-laws in Binangonan, Rizal. After lunch,  we indulged ourselves in eating ice cream for a cool treat. Still can’t resist the noontime heat, my hubby suddenly enjoins everyone to go to Daranak Falls in Tanay for a swim. To my delight, everyone agreed. At last, my longing to get there will finally happen any minute from now! Yahoo!

Dhio Endheka: Dip into a Refreshing Natural Spring

It was so rejuvenating to revisit the Cagsawa Ruins and the Mayon Skyline (formerly called Mayon Resthouse), with our first time at Busay Falls this morning. We ended our day in a cool refreshing dip at Dhio Endheka Spring Resort located in Barangay Buang, municipality of Tabaco. We were so thankful to my uncle, Tito Jaime for providing his jeepney and his driver Danny on our road trip to my humble hometown, Albay.

Cagsawa Ruins after Typhoon Reming

We saw traces of typhoon Reming’s aftermath when we visited our relatives in Albay this Lenten Holiday. It was so pathetic as our uncle, cousins, and friends told their stories during and after the catastrophe. But somehow, they were slowly recovering from their losses.

Mayon Skyline, Albay: Heaven on Earth

Summer heat hits the entire region so off we went for a sojourn in my beloved hometown Albay. We’ve been told by our relatives that it was raining the past few weeks. But I was so thankful because the weather was very cooperative the moment we arrived at our vacation house in Malinao.
