Lake Balinsasayao

All of the activities that my friends and I did throughout the getaway were memorable but the Kayaking part was the most fun!

Alex and I partnered up to Kayak for an hour at the very beautiful Lake Balinsasayao. We rowed from one corner to the other in the hunt for monkeys, traitors, weapons and hideouts. No, wait, I'm sorry, I was thinking of the Hunger Games.

Manjuyud White Sand Bar

One of my best buddies, Alex hosted a summer getaway for our friend, Jean and I at Negros Oriental last week.

The highlight of the trip was swimming at Manjuyud White Sand Bar, a must when in Bais City.

Mambacayao Island

I've been asking myself so many times throughout the trip as to why most of the shores in Tabuelan look so lonely. The place was undoubtedly beautiful, clean and safe.  

The turquoise water of the Visayan Sea is a glorious sight to behold. I enjoyed myself to this view for two hours upon heading to Mambacayao Island.

Maravilla Beach Club

A call from a magazine editor took me by surprise one Wednesday night. I was told to pack up by clothes and go to Bantayan (the tip of Cebu) the following day. She wanted me to write the cover story of their May issue. 

The next thing I knew was meeting my photographer friend Ian Javier and make-up artist and stylist Romero Vergara at the magazine's office. We were fetched by a car that took us a couple of hours tracking to a place called Tabuelan.
