Sumilon Bluewater Island Resort

Sharing my adventure trip on the beautiful island of Sumilon, home of the Sumilon Bluewater Island Resort. I was lucky to be one of the chosen bloggers who were included in this free tour of the island. Everything is free! Although I have been to the island last year, I am still excited and was looking forward for this trip. Whenever I appreciate a place, I never fail to sell them to my close friends. This time, I'm showing off what Sumilon Bluewater Island Resort offers to my friend Ed.

The travel to Sumilon takes 2 to 3 hours. We passed by the South Reclamation Project to avoid traffic in the downtown area.

Then went trekking. Tried to go to the lighthouse but due to the time and the bad weather, we headed back and checked out their lagoon instead.

Caleruega

I Went to Manila last May 1st. Our agenda was to go to Enchanted Kingdom in Laguna. My friend, Cecille and her boyfriend Titus, drove all the way to Manila to fetch us. She is based in Laguna. We went to Caleruega before heading to Enchanted. As what Cecille mentioned, Caleruega is located on the border of Batangas, going to Tagaytay.

“Caleruega is a house of prayer and renewal. It is open to activities like retreats, recollections, prayer, and renewal workshop, study, research, youth camps, marriage and family encounter celebrations, skills training, leadership seminars, art, music, and liturgy workshops, and environment and agriculture-related activities.”

Because of the beauty and serenity the place brings, it is considered as one of the most sought after places to hold church weddings. As of date, the place is fully booked for weddings till January of 2009.

Blue Lagoon

A must-see when one happens to drop by Ilocos Norte. The place is simply amazing.

Untouched and Unspoiled.

It was really windy this time of the year and the tides were unmanageable yet a surfer may view this place as its haven.
