TOday I made a trip down to memory lane... checking various photo albums of each of the trips I made either with family, friends and especially with my hubby... I came across this clip where he took a big leap on one of the most famous dive area in Siquijor... in Salagdoong beach...

An unforgettable trip This should be my 2nd trip to the wonderful island of Bantayan. I was here 2 years ago and we just stayed in Sugarbeach. However, now I am travelling with another group and we stayed on one of the renowned beach resorts called Marlin. Although the trip to the island is tiring, it was simply incomparable when I set my eyes on the placid aquamarine seawater...the long stretch of powdery white sand...and the overtowering coconut trees on all hues of green... simply breathtaking Never forget the following when travelling to a splendid place [View Full Entry]
