It's CAMIGUIN ADVENTURE TIME! :)

Have you been to Camiguin Island? Well, if you have gone to that island I bet you know already my experience and adventure.

Camiguin Island is a small island in which you can tour around to the whole island in just a day. If you have limited budget but want to tour around the island, well I bet you can do that! Amazing!

From Balingoan, Misamis Occidental to Port of Binoni, Camiguin Island.

From our place in Butuan City it's a three and a half hour of land travel going to Port of Balingoan. It's 3 and a half because the road along the way is not yet done with their road widening. When we got there at the port of Balingoan, we rode a "roro" going to port of Binoni. When we got there, my mom has a friend who's a multicab driver and rent him and his car for a day to tour us around the island. 

Inside the multicab with Paul's stolen shot. :)

Now not a stolen shot with Paul and Myrtle. :)

Sorry for the blurry picture. As you can see we go up to our first stop in Camiguin.

Along the way going to our first stop, all you can see around is trees, small population of people, Lanzones trees, it was amazing because it was my first time to see a cluster of lanzones. (I tell you, their Lanzones is soooo super duper sweet) This goes to all nature-lovers out-there. And along the road is a sea.

And our first stop: Katibawasan Falls.

uh-uh! That big tarpaulin will face you before you can enter.

From left to right is Paul, Jazzie(me), Myrtle, Vimvim and Mario.

Katibawasan Falls before going down. :)

In Katibawasan you can eat there as long as you want to and anytime you want. Just pay 20 php for the entrance fee. It's so nature and you can swim there but I think it's not advisable to swim under the falls. It's tall so it means there's a great pressure in it.

It's freezing cold in here I tell you. You can taste the water but I think it's not advisable.

 And the next stop is: White Island here we gooo! :)

Of course before going to the White Island we have to pay around 480 php to their tourist desk which is good for (6) six persons to ride in the boat. It's in their rules and regulations that they only allow six to seven persons in the boat including the owner of the boat.

Safety first of course. :)

It's a seven minute drive from the seashore of Paras Beach Resort going to White Island. :)

We enjoyed the waves. Heavy waves actually that we shouted whenever big waves are coming. :D As you come nearer to the white island you can see it's very crystal clear water. It only means it's still a virgin island. :)

Background view is the Mt. Hibok-hibok.

Mario and Vimvim for their "shooting in White Island" . oh well when vanity strikes.

View from the White Island. It's Mt. Hibok-hibok. :D

I really had a good time here.  with Myrtle.

Well, I think this is it for today. Fun is not yet done in Camiguin. :) Check out my future blogs for the next tourist spots we had in Camiguin Island. Hope you enjoy!

Life at its best!

Being a not-so-ordinary-teenage-girl is not a hard thing to do. No expectations. No commitments. No pressure.
But being a good-daughter-wanna-be, is the hardest and tiring job to fill in. You have to do everything just to please your parents, your relatives and all those people that surrounds you and those all eyes on you.

A perfect daughter? :)))

When I got eighteen, I didn't expect to have a luxurious debut party because I always thought of the expenses of my parents, especially my mother. Many people asks why, many agrees to my decision and many goes with the flow. It has always been expected that if your parents have a stable job and you're the only son/daughter, you will have the outstanding event. But I always wanted to have an adventurous one. I wanted to travel anywhere because for me, it's the memories with my mommy, my loved ones ( I think you know who am I referring to. LOL.) is what I will always keep forever.

yeah. and this is the man that I am referring to. :) haha!

And so as expected, we travel together with my mommy and friends from Cebu in the beautiful island of Camiguin. :)

I was standing for another souvenir picture in Katibawasan. :)

Me and Myrtle wanted to swim but the water is so cold. 

From left to right is Jazzie (Me), Paul, (boyfie), Mommy Joy, Vimvim, Mario, Myrtle and Ate Lalay in Camiguin's Katibawasan Falls. :)

It was indeed a great place. Sabi nga "ang sarap balik balikan." :) Me and mom went there when I was a kid to do her Thesis about Lanzones, and Family Reunion as well. When thinking, I told myself "Pauli-ulit nalang." But when we went the again for the sake of my friends who wants adventure, (and also me) I said to myself, there's no place like Camiguin Island.

A jumpshot taken by Paul at White Island, a seven-minute ride from Camiguin. Thank you for this Paw. :)) Background the ever famous Mt. Hibok-hibok

Now, I hope we'll realize that it's not about how "bongga" your debuts will be. The most important thing is that you're happy with your family, loved ones and friends and of course, thanking God for all of the blessings we received everyday.

My little salo-salo in our house at Butuan City.

Trying to pose how 18-year-old ladies looks like. 

I am eighteen now, though I'm not getting any younger, life has to go on. Every year is a new beginning, a new chapter in my life that I have to face. :) I am now part of the "Major People" hahah! I'm no minor anymore.

My eighteenth year has already started and I must face it with sobriety and maturity. As we go on life gets harder and gives you maximum responsibility. And I have to say, getting older is not a problem but it's a blessing because Life will always be at its best!

thanks for your time in reading my blog. If you want more pictures of ours in Camiguin or just want to see the places where we go, I'll put it in my new blog soon. :) Have a nice day ahead.
