Biyaheng Sorsogon

How many beautiful beaches does our country have? Do you ever vow to visit atleast a new one each year? Well, I do. Although I love visiting other countries, I also make it a point to travel locally. Last year I got acquainted with the Burias islands of Quezon as seen here and last weekend, as you may have already seen in the previous posts, got to see the beauty of Sorsogon – a province located at the southern tip of Luzon.

The name has always been associated with the gentle giants/ whalesharks (or butandings) in Donsol but I was particularly after their pinkish beaches in Matnog island (you can see the crushed red corals that are responsible for the rare pink sand color) because I want something that’s slightly out-of-the-radar for most tourists. Being the last point of Luzon means you can get there by land and so we sat in a 12 to 13 scenic ride from Manila after which we took a 30min boat ride to Subic Beach. Basically, we covered only Tikling and Calintaan islands and the Juag Lagoon Fish Sanctuary as you will see below. And they were all worth it.

And since this is a style blog (lol!), I will take this opportunity to plug also my partners and the swimwears they sent me. The very ones I should’ve worn long ago during the cruise (see here!) but received them late because of the very efficient postal system. Ugh.

It turns out, I love myself a print on print number in swimwear too! ;)

Beach Campin'

First summer getaway for 2016, check! Yaaaaay!!!

It is duly acknowledged that I should not flood photos that focus only on one angle but this place is so crowded already. Eight or ten years ago, we used to have this lovely island all to ourselves only. Tourism changes things. I'm all for sharing and for others appreciating its beauty but what about control and such things? Ever heard of Sagada province's devastation after it was featured in a local movie? Sigh.

This place is now called Kwebang Lampas in Pagbilao, Quezon whereas before we just used to call it our very own "Pulo" (island). We made a lot of memories in this place after finishing our degrees and it's just a good time to go back and reminisce considering another friend is leaving for US for good. After all these years, it still feels good going back to basics and cowboy living (sleeping in tents, showering in makeshift toilets and eating by the humble nipa huts *wink*).

Stay tuned for more summer updates soon in this blog. :)
