Manjuyod White Sand Bar

The Sand Bar is a 7km stretch of white sand in the middle of the sea. You can see the sand and actually walk on it during low tides; (noticed the greenish part of the water?) This is a good spot for Dolphin watching too. You can stay overnight on the huts, they have power cells to provide electricity at least for a bulb or two. The spot is owned and maintained by the local government.

Misamis Oriental

The Nature Front of Mindanao – Misamis Oriental

Anybody who loves nature will surely love the beauty of Misamis Oriental. The province that used to be a district of Cebu and referred to as “Partido de Misamis” then and until it became one of the district of Mindanao by the 19th century.

Misamis Oriental Seaside:

Misamis Oriental is not to miss any of its festivals. Like most provinces in the Philippines, Misamis Oriental celebrates its own festive days such as the Kagay-an Festival for Cagayan de Oro during August 26, Kaliga Festival for Gingoog City in July 23, and the ever popular Hudayaka Festival.

Misamis Oriental Festival

Truly, Misamis Oriental is the one of the spots in the Philippines where nature lovers and tourists alike can enjoy again and again. A breathtaking marvelous relaxation.

Taal Volcano : A sight of Tagaytay

Last Sunday August 18 2009, we went to Tagaytay to celebrate the 36th Wedding Anniversary of my Mom and Dad (In-law). The whole family was there, from the eldest of all five sisters (yes all of them are girls) down to the youngest grandson, in the car seat. It was an all day family fun bonding. And I can say a time off from the jammed city to a nice cold fresh windy place to relax and unwind.

First stop. The "Palace in the Sky". Oh yes there was a palace built there about 20 years ago, but sad to say all you can see now are ruins of it. Along side the Palace you will see this big statue of Jesus Christ over looking the horizon,as if saying "I am watching over you".


Second stop. The Souvenir Shop. Well, there are several items you can pick from the market, nice and really cheap. Seeing my daughter so excited to pick something for herself, priceless!!! hehe


Thanks for reading .. :)
