A Breath of Fresh Air : The Bukidnon Tour

One good thing about staying in Bukidnon is its cold air even during noon time.   We happened to visit and tour around the Bukidnon Forests, Inc. located at Sayre Highway, Malabay City, Bukidnon.

Bukidnon Forests, Inc. (BFI) is a government-owned and controlled corporation (GOCC) under the National Resources Development Corporation.  It was funded by the national government of New Zealand until it was terminated as a foreign-assisted project of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in 1998.

Widgets : A Blogger's Must-Have

Instagram's been a useful online tool in photo-sharing and a social networking service that allows us to take a photo, apply digital filter and share it to other social networking services such as Facebook or Twitter.

Now that Instagram has over than 9 million active users, might as well have an Instagram feed directly to this blog site.  How did I do this?  Again, I searched for an expert partner in dealing with this task.  I have come up with a widget showing a slideshow presentation of the photos posted in my Instagram account.

A newbie to blogging, I am determined in making my page to be nice looking, if not perfect.   I have been trying to understand codes that some sites were offering but it seems that those codes were so technical that I could not grasp even on its first how-to steps.

10 Things You Should Not Miss in Boracay

Summer is finally coming!  With the temperature rising, the beach always comes first in my mind.  And with the beach in mind, BORACAY is the coolest summer vacation one has to try.

I have been in this beautiful island for so many times already, yet, I am still considering this place to spend a summer getaway every year.

Seasons on this island are classified into three :

                         LOW SEASON : June 1 - November 30

                         HIGH SEASON : December 1 - May 31

                         PEAK SEASON : December 21 - January 10, Chinese New Year, Holy Week

Each season has its good and not-so-good points, yet, irrespective of the seasons, Boracay has so many thing to offer to its tourists.

Here's my list of 10 THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT MISS IN BORACAY :

Rejuvenate : SIRA-AN HOT SPRING & HEALTH RESORT

This is considered as one of our spur-of-a-moment trips.  My husband and I have been talking about out of town yet inexpensive trips.  We already went to this place sometime in 2010 yet I wasn't able to enjoy the whole time we were there since I was still pregnant.  However, I thought of this one when asked by my husband where to spend our weekend since Kaizle, our daughter, was having cough at that time and a bathe on the sulfuric water of the spring can help ease if not cure her cough.  I remember during our 2010 trip there that my nephew was suffering from bronchial asthma however, after a day's bathing and swimming on the hot spring, his asthma was gone immediately that night.

Sira-an Hot Spring is situated in Anini-y, the southernmost part of the province of Antique, Western Visayas.  It is 43 kilometers from the capital town of Antique and two hours travel from Iloilo City.

Didn't miss the chance to have a pic on its welcome sign. Everybody did this.
