One at a time

Slowly i am able to tick off one item at a time of my bucket list.

happy to know that as February of 2013 is about to end, i was able to ticked off 3 since January 2013.

First of the list is seeing the mayon volcano up close and personal and having a touristy pose at cagsawa ruins and as a bonus and 2nd item ticked off the list is riding an ATV and it's a bragging experience to say that i have traversed lava flow (well yun tuyo na ha, and the last time magayon spewed a lot was around 2010) on my first ATV ride :)

Bicolandia trip last january was a success and yes I have spent my birthday at the beach - at caramoan islands to be exact :)

And 3rd off my bucket list is watching the hot air balloons fly. Yes! Finally after so many years of wishing and planning to watch the event at Clark, i was able to watch the 18th philippine international hot air balloon fiesta - a weekend where everything flies. :)

Yes, slowly the bucket list is getting fulfilled :)

dreaming of bicolandia

okay. ako na ang excited! just bought tickets to bicolandia for january 2013, oo next year pa, ako na ang atat! but im really excited. this summer i get to experience bicol through calaguas and this time i wanna explore more of bicol. so i actually plotted in google map the places i plan to visit. 1st stop is legaspi and get to see the majestic perfect cone of mayon, and have a side trip to donsol sorsogon to have a close encounter with the butandings. after that will travel by land from legazpi to naga and experience the much talk about cwc wake boarding experience then get awed by caramoan's beauty. sounds like a nice plan eh? lesgow sago :)

calaguas island: truly a virgin island

i have spent this year's holy week at calaguas island. being one with nature, a great adventure, secluded, with no electricity, no internet and mobile signal, there is serenity - with cerulean skies, amazing landscapes, rolling hills, turquoise waters,fine white sand, calaguas island is truly a virgin island! 

calaguas island is in camarines norte and this is also the first time i set foot in the Bicol region (yey got another pink color in my map). here are some of the photos of this amazing island.
