The Forest Camp in Valencia

By Leave a Comment

‘Mangadto ta sa Forest Camp’, this is the line that slips through my tongue every time I go home to my Lola’s hometown. The Forest Camp is a mountain spring resort located in the modest and quiet town of Valencia, Negros Oriental, less than an hour drive from Dumaguete City. Valencia is dubbed as the “Little Baguio” in the Visayas because of its cold climate.

Forest Camp is one of the most famous resorts in town. The spring resort is a perfect place for weekend family picnics and reunion with friends or even if you just wanted to take a break from work. They have quite a number of pools filled with the cold running water from Mt. Talinis. You can enjoy unlimited swimming and picture taking, which I know will be a lot, of course, for Php 90.00 entrance fee per head. There is no corkage fee so can bring food, but if you want, you can just order from the restaurant in the resort. Read the full post..

Visit Siquijor, The Island on Fire

By Leave a Comment

Siquijor Island is a paradise away from home. Called by the Spaniards as Isla del Fuego or Island on Fire, this mysterious island is a perfect getaway if you want to take a break from the busy streets of the city. Siquijor is a small island of 6 towns. The island is a favorite vacation spot for foreigners and beach lovers because of its fine white beaches.

I left my heart at Siquijor. Yes, despite the mysterious rumors about black magic, I fell in love with the island. I fell in love with its people, the white sand beaches, and most especially the places that I get to visit.

How to get there?

There are many ways to get to Siquijor but as for me, I prefer taking the bus to Dumaguete from Cebu South Terminal. I just love the bus ride despite the 4-5 hours of traveling compared to taking a plane to Dumaguete. From Dumaguete City, there are RORO vessels that can transport you to the island. You can also take the other option which is going there via Lite Ferries. Their sailing schedule is 1 PM every day that will dock at Larena Port in Suiquijor. The fare rates would be Php350 for economy and Php440 for tourist accommodation. The travel time would be much longer compared to taking the bus. Read the full post..

Arlo the Good Lab: Man’s Best friend

By Leave a Comment

How is it possible to love something or someone entirely, with all of your heart? That question has always been lingering in my mind every time I looked at Arlo.

Arlo is a black Labrador Retriever that I got as a valentine’s gift from Nick. He was 2 months old when I started taking care of him. Arlo is quite jolly and temperamental, not normal for a labrador who is known to be loving and friendly. But anyhow, I love this pooch very much.

Dogs are truly loyal and faithful. They will never betray their human. I grew up with dogs in the family and maybe, that is why I am so in love with them. I even call them cute, no matter what the size is. haha. Arlo has been my crying shoulder and most of all, my happy pill. I can’t imagine how dogs do that but they have the ability to make you smile whenever you feel down. It feels like they sensed it once their human is not happy at all. I guess that is why they are called man’s best friend. It is because of their big heart, their ability to love us unconditionally. Read the full post..

Temple of Leah – A True Love’s Promise

By Leave a Comment

Temple of Leah is one of the newest attraction in Cebu. Why is the temple built?

The temple was built by Teodorico Adarna, a known business tycoon, owner of Queensland Hotels and the grandfather of Filipina actress Ellen Adarna, out of his undying love for his wife Leah Villa-Albino Adarna. Love definitely conquers all. Teodorico’s love for his wife stands by the vow, ’till death do us part’ thus, the 7 stories greek inspired mansion was built last 2012. The temple is not finished yet but it already welcomes visitors. Read the full post..
