The Wonders of Camotes Island

The "Lost Horizon of the South" as it was once known is a beautiful island in the northeastern side of the province of Cebu. I was so curious to roam around the island. I've been here before but I only stayed at the resort and didn't went around the place. This time I was very excited since finally I would have the opportunity to discover the wonderful place with my berks!

"Camote" is a Cebuano word that means sweet potato. This was how the place got its name.

Christmas Eve Nailart 2013

HAPPY NAILS THIS YULETIDE SEASON

This Christmas I have been so fond of doing my nails. Having a Christmas themed nails just made the season more fun and exciting! I have been inspired by watching nailart videos on youtube and I wanted to try 'em all out. The designs were so cute and artistic and really very easy. Good thing I have a steady hand 'cause there was no one here to help me out with my nails, just me. 

Christmas have always been the ultimate year-end holiday. Gifts are everywhere and it's amazing how people become so loving and generous although here in the Philippines we don't get to experience snows, snowball fights, and making a snowman, the Christmas spirit will forever be in the air. We in fact have the longest Christmas holiday in the world beginning September and ends after the Three Kings celebration.

THE CITY OF FUN AND ADVENTURE

I was so excited to finally set foot in this wonderful place, Legazpi City, the "City of Fun and Adventure". Me and my berks enjoyed every moment of our stay here. A marching band was set-up at the airport to greet arriving guests. We really don't have a fixed itinerary when we got there. Good thing a tourist info center was readily available within the vicinity.

Exploring Dumaguete City: Siliman University, Dumaguete Belfry, and Gastronomic Wonders

The "City of Gentle People", as it is named is the capital city of Negros Oriental. Why nicknamed as such? Well, from the name itself, it's the people and maybe it is! The folks here were very warm and friendly. From the airport personnel to the cab drivers, and from the street officers to the store/hotel staff, they were all very accommodating. This was the first time I've been to this place with my closest buds and our stay were indeed memorable.
