SUMMER 2013 (CANIGAO ISLAND)

If you have read my previous post (here), I have shared to you just a bit of information of our little escapades by my friends in Leyte. Let me just share to you some of my selfie pictures I took in Canigao. This island is on the southern part of Leyte. Going there from Ormoc will take 2hrs ride using van. We only stayed half day at this island since we need to vacate early so we can still catch up the van that will take us to Kalanggaman for our next itinerary. So here guys, hope you all enjoy my little selfie pictures. 

SUMMER BLASTS

Just to share to you guys my little adventure in my hometown leyte. Two virgin islands in my province that are untainted and very pristine where on our top lists for this summer escapades. We weren't disappointed by what we saw in there. Thou the travel was a bit tiring since one island is far from the other, it was all worth the sacrifices. Our effort was paid hundred folds by the beauty of this two islands. We were mystified by its beauty that we promise to revisit this soon. I've been to Borocay and I can proud to say that these two islands (Kalanggaman and Canigao) are almost close to this known and top beach in the world when it comes to its whitish sand and crystal clear water.  Here are some of the photos I took:

Canigao Island is uninhabited, featuring a lighthouse as its only significant man-made structure. The beaches are white sand, with tropical sea creatures and extensive coral reef in the surrounding waters. The climate is tropical and similar to that found in other areas of the Philippine islands. These natural features often attract tourists and scuba divers, who arrive at the island by traveling fromMatalom (in the province of Leyte).^[1]

The western and northern part of Canigao island is placed under nature protection as a sanctuary. Due to this, activities such as swimming, diving, fishing, snorkeling, and boating in the protected areas are limited by law.^{[2] - wikipedia}

This is Palompon’s paradise.  Kalanggaman is considered the most beautiful beach  the province of Leyte has to offer.  The postcard-perfect virgin island with its powder white sand, clear waters, and cool breeze is certainly a virtual place very close to heaven.

What makes this island unique from others is its long sandbars that are stretching on both sides of the island.   The one hour boat ride to the island may be a bit challenging bur it is all worth it when you finally set foot on this paradise. If you want to forget your troubles for a  day or if   you want to have a quick getaway with your loved ones, Kalanggaman is definitely the place to go. - Palompon government page

BEAT THE HEAT

Im just so ecstatic for our summer escapades tomorrow. Me and my friends decided to spend our summer here in Leyte, my very own hometown. And don't worry guys I'll be posting my 4days summer trip in this blog. Last year, I spend my summer in Boracay (top destination beach in the world) together with my sister and her husband. Unfortunately I wasn't able to post it here due to time constraint, if i have time and if I can get hold of the copies of our pictures I swear to post something even it's too overdue. But anyway for now, I just want to share some few tips on what to bring when heading for the beach. (Some are only copied from the website, I only added some which I know essentials for me and for everyone)

1. WATER - Clearly your best friend for summer. You have to at least drink 1 gallon of water if more the better. This is to keep you hydrated and combat the top enemy of summer "Heat stroke."

2. SUNGLASSES - not only they are one of your top beach fashion accessories but they will most likely protect you from getting crinkled eye when you age. 

3. CAMERA - wants to document your summer, keep your camera ready. Memories are worth a thousand pictures. (don't know if this is the right saying..LOL)

4. SUNBLOCK - the ultimate top list. Should never be forgotten when heading for the beach and most likely the important beauty regimen everyday. Talk about combating wrinkles and other spots you might get when you age. It's better to preppy at a young age than to be sorry later. 

5. WONDERFUL HATS - Ideal on bad hair days, perfect when it’s windy, & invaluable when you actually don’t want anyone to see your face! Plus it's sun protector. 

Hope you all enjoyed my post. Don't forget to stay happy and enjoy your summer. BEAT THE HEAT with the important essentials I mentioned above. 

CIAO!!!
