We went on a day trip to Guimaras yesterday. I have been to Guimaras countless times but this was the first time that I was able to go island hopping, snorkeling and see/touch turtles in Lawi! We went to Ave Maria Island, it had a white sand beach though not as white as Boracay’s but much better because it was quieter and ideal for relaxation. After a couple of hours of lounging at the beach we went back to Raymen’s Beach Resort (that’s where we ate lunch when we arrived by the way). Before going home we went by Trappist Monastery. Of course we didn’t forget to buy Guimaras’ super sweet mangoes! I really had an awesome time with Eric, Junnjun and Nang Ethel! Til next time!
Villa Igang, Guimaras
Early summer vacation with the family (minus Toto & Papang lang galing) Tim, and also along with Tita Pearl and Bon-Bon at Villa Igang, Guimaras.
Papang used to come to Villa Igang every summer. The place was very peaceful man gihapon because we went there on a Friday before the surge of Holy Week bakasyonitas. It was a refreshing experience.
Tim loved the place even though he was a little skeptic at first. But he did enjoy his weekend!
We also went to Trappist Monastery where Papang and Mamang spent a weekend together for a retreat last year when he was diagnosed with the disease that took him from us. We miss you Pang. Tani upod ka man gihapon namon. Pero we know you’re happy now. We love you guid!
