2015 Island Adventure #2 Sta. Cruz Island

April 12, 2015

My second trip to the Pink Sand Beach/Sta. Cruz Island in Zamboanga City this year was made even more memorable because of the presence of the Remot fam bam.  The beach get-away was sort of part 2 of the Royal Family Reunion.

Mi hermano Rustan and Auntie Amy just arrived at Sta. Cruz Island.

Still can't get over the amazing beauty of Sta. Cruz Island
Picture perfect beach

Fun fun fun beach bonding:-)
Remot kids having fun at the beach!
The natural beauty of the island is enticing! The beach area is always clean and the crystal blue water is inviting you to swim despite the sun's scorching heat!  Anyways, the trees are abundant and there are cottages if you want to shield from the sun.  Always remember to bring shades and hat for sun protection:-)

Hubby and moi and our sun-kissed faces :-)
Guests are reminded to maintain cleanliness and bring their own garbage once they leave the island.  No wonder the natural beauty of the Pink Sand Beach is preserved for future tourists and guests to enjoy.

Red corals such as this one are the source of pinkish sand
Personnel from the city government of Zamboanga constantly reminds visitors about the prohibition of taking corals and sand as souvenirs.

There is no shortage of beautiful views on the island, so snap a picture whenever you can and keep them as a remembrance...

3D2N Food Trip in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental Philippines

Image
Time really flies when you're having fun:-) Just like our recent trip to Bacolod, the Capital City of Negros Occidental last weekend Oct. 11-13, 2013, time flew fast:-) Dubbed as the "City of Smiles" and home of the MassKara Festival, held every 3rd week of October. Although our visit fell short of one week prior the actual festival, it's all good! We have great reason to come back next year. We took advantage of Air Asia's Seat Sale as well as Go Hotels promo. Our airfare and hotel accommodation was a steal for a little less than Php 2k each:-) As soon as my good friend Panx sent me a message via fb about the seat sale (that was around first week of September), I immediately told hubby about it. After booking, I did some research from blogs on the internet to help me prepare our itinerary. It's great to know that it will be the first time for all of us to get there, we're so excited esp. after reading the reviews about all the food and the amazing p...

Beach Getaway: White Rock Water Park and Beach Resort

June 6, 2015 Saturday How quick time flies, it feels like just a few days ago when we said hello to summer via my post on the first week of March 2015 . There was no shortage  of water activities this past few months, I must say Summer 2015 to date, has been the busiest! And the hottest!  I personally take a bath 2-3 times a day! So when schedule permits, we are either at a swimming pool or at the beach on weekends! And since we said hello to summer, it is but fitting to say goodbye! Last Saturday we did! Hubby and I were invited by my friend Anne and her family to join them at White Rock Water Park and Beach Resort for a beach getaway. Welcome to WHITE ROCK! Waiting at the Lobby of the Hotel While waiting for the others, I roamed around the lobby and noticed that White Rock Hotel is spotless/very clean! Staircase to the rooms upstairs Sunset Cafe near the lobby I fell in love with the ceiling! We took advantage of the amenities...
