Yesterday we officially started summer 2012 as a family by giving ourselves a treat to our favorite and secret beach in Kanlungon. We made a few stops on the way though. For the longest time, we revisited Alona Kew Beach Resort and its neighboring resorts. The place has transformed over the years to a Boracay-ish kind of feel with the addition of restaurants, bars and resorts. We just scoped out the place and found a shade while my sister and I did her levitating attempts.

Afterwards we found ourselves famished so to Bohol Bee Farm we went and gobbled up some pasta with fresh greens on the side. Seafood Pizza, Carbonara, Lasagna and the Garden Salad topped with flowers. Yes, flowers.

The garden at Bohol Bee Farm has quite a few unique herbs and spices, it was a cook's haven.

Finally, we arrived at our destination. Actually, we started from the end of Panglao Island and made ourselves way back and saved the best place for last before heading home. This particular beach in Kanlungon has all the desired ingredients to be called a secret paradise. With all the newly opened expensive resorts boasting of a great beachfront, nothing beats Kanlungon.

We came running down to the beach and splashed all over ourselves like little kids. The video below sums up our first official day of summer 2012! Hope you had a blast starting your summer this year, we had ours!
Philippine Flag Symbolism Let's be honest now. How many of you did not know behind the symbols of our national flag? Just so you know, it is a fact that everybody lies. Anyway, probably you are wondering why I am posting in such a nationalistic tone when independence day was almost three months behind? Well, that makes us both. A thought just struck me when I saw the commercial segment of Juan Time in discovery channel.
I'm pretty sure you've read James Soriano's infamous article " Language, Learning, Identity, Privilege " which garnered him mostly criticism from people who live in front of their keyboards netizens. I know some of you are probably making or joining hate pages on Facebook, seriously, grow up. I have edited this post for the nth time because there are still thoughts and ideas that need to sink in. Also, I made a decision not to post or react when I am angry or pissed. Sure, I was pissed when I first read the article. Who wouldn't be? But I just officially turned 28 and I need to act, you know - civilized. You've got filter the facts and try to address the issue on how personally you can change for the better as a person. I only found two response articles via Twitter: " Editing James Soriano " and " Coming Home to the Filipino Language ". If you have any article or known any worth-reading article you can message me here or ...
Discover places you'll love! Rating: ★★★★☆ looloo is a must-have app for anyone who wants to explore Metro Manila and visit all of its best places! It's the best app for foodies, spa junkies, nightlife lovers - anyone who loves going out! When this was announced some time last year by the same guys that brought you TrafficDito (I think), my interest died down when I read the line "who wants to explore Metro Manila". Why? Because I am not based in Makati anymore and I thought I could not use it. I told myself though maybe I should try it but never really came to the point of tapping the FREE button to install the app.
Lovely. I miss Bohol..
