I ❤️ Siquijor 2024 - Salagdoong Beach - Wet Tour - Day 2 - 09/12/2024

Siquijor 2024: A Journey Through Limestone and Sunshine (and a Little Bit of Rain)
 
Siquijor, the island of fire and magic, lived up to its reputation (at least partially) during our recent trip. While the remnants of a typhoon still lingered in the air, we, the "Sunshine Girls," were determined to soak up every bit of island charm, even if it meant a few splashes of rain.
 
Our next stop was Salagdoong Beach, a place that promised stunning limestone structures and a dose of adrenaline-pumping cliff jumping. But alas, the typhoon's aftershocks had other plans. The waves were a bit too rough for a dip, and even the most daring of us "Sunshine Girls" (a self-proclaimed group of positive energy emitters) weren't quite ready to tackle those churning waters.
 
The beach itself was a sight to behold, though. The limestone structures, towering like ancient guardians, were truly impressive. They gave the beach a unique, almost otherworldly feel, like we'd stumbled onto a set for a fantasy film. The surrounding trees, their branches reaching towards the sky, only added to the mystical atmosphere.
 
However, the resort itself seemed to have seen better days. The buildings had a slightly "run-down" vibe, and the sand, while off-white, wasn't the soft, powdery kind you dream of. But hey, who needs perfect sand when you have majestic limestone structures?
 
We spent a good portion of our time at Salagdoong capturing the beauty of the place in pictures and videos. The rough waves added a dramatic element to our shots, making them feel like they were straight out of a travel magazine. After all, what's a trip to Siquijor without a few photos to prove you were there?
 
While the cliff jumping was off the menu, we still managed to have a blast at Salagdoong. The limestone structures alone were worth the trip, and the "Sunshine Girls" (despite the lack of sunshine) were in their element, radiating positive vibes and capturing the essence of the island.
 
So, if you're planning a trip to Siquijor, be sure to add Salagdoong Beach to your itinerary. Just remember, even if the weather isn't perfect, there's still plenty of beauty to be found. And who knows, maybe the "Sunshine Girls" will be there to help you manifest some sunshine of your own.

I ♥ Puting Buhangin Pagbilao - Quezon (2012) - 09/29/2012

Image
I always pray for good weather when planning an out-of-town trip, as a typhoon can easily disrupt carefully planned travels. Fortunately, when we visited Puting Buhangin in Pagbilao, Quezon, the weather remained clear. I had been longing to visit this place since last year, but unforeseen circumstances always led to cancellations. Growing up in Quezon province, I felt a deep connection to this destination and wanted to appreciate the beauty of my hometown.   Initially, I had planned a solo backpacking trip and shared my travel plans online out of excitement. That's when I received a message from Mac, who expressed curiosity about my travels. I proposed the idea of going together to Puting Buhangin to cut down on expenses. Without hesitation, Mac agreed to join me on this adventure.   On the day of the tour, heavy rain poured down, making me fear that the trip would once again be cancelled. I reached out to Mac via SMS to confirm if he still wanted to go. If he had changed his mind

I ♥ PMA BAguio City 12/12/2010

Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio was the first tourist spot I visited in this humble city. I went there last 2008 with my college friends and I really enjoyed our short stay there. There is no restriction in visiting the area. However, due to its gaining popularity they implemented policies that may annoy some first time travelers.  All visitors entering PMA must have individual valid IDs. A person without a valid ID can't enter PMA. If you're in a group and you don't have ID, you will be instructed to get off the jeepney at the gate and wait for your companions with IDs while they're enjoying the tour. Also, wearing slippers is a big no-no when you wanted to enter its premises. Even though you are wearing your expensive flip-flops the security personnel won't show any mercy and you may be force to await your companion at the gate. They promote wearing shoes because people who wanted to visit the area shou

I ♥ Batis Aramin Lucban Quezon 03/13/2011

  Batis Aramin Lucban Quezon Batis Aramin Resort, Hotel and Adventure Camp is just one of the few resorts near my hometown Tayabas, Quezon. We went there when we visited the well-known Catholic Pilgrimage site called “Kamay ni Hesus” which lies on the foot of Mt. Banahaw last 2011. You won't be lost to find the place because it is just on the other side of the popular retreat camp Kamay ni Hesus which is located in Malupak, Lucban Quezon. We don't have enough money to pay the 100 pesos entrance fee but because we wanted to explore the place we just made an alibi to the security personnel that we just wanted to do an ocular visit and see if we wanted to stay. The security personnel was very kind and he let the 5 of us enter the vicinity we just left our ID's for record updating.  There were a lot of guess that time. I saw a lot of private cars with LaSalle University stickers probably they rented the place for retreat. I never expected the resort to be so beautif
