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.

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.

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.
