As I defined my bio in Instagram (ladzkie11).. I consider beach as my holy place, it’s the sphere where confession happens, as crazy as it may sound but it’s the only place that will cater-suck-cure all your dementia, stress, pain as well as rejuvenates your mind.

         The beach has always been a part of my soul which I consider as my resting place.  It was later this year since I realized that beach has done something to me that I subconsciously didn't knew. So I hook up my laptop and research ideas what these waves, sand and salt has done to me that I manage to live life well.  (Photo above: Punta Elai Resort)

2. Salt water and sand exfoliates your skin and improves your skin complexion, talking about DIY it’s a practical way of beauty regimen though! (Photo above: Riders Inn Resort)

3. Swimming and water sports can help you tone up, too. "Water-skiing works the arms surprisingly hard, as well as the back, shoulder and abdominal muscles," says Matt Roberts.

4. Some beach goers think the ocean breeze improves their breathing. It's commonly thought that beach air carries negative ions that help recharge the body and improve mood.(www.sun-sentinel.com)  (Photo above: Riders Inn Resort)

5. "When you look out at the beach, there is sort of this infinity, this sense of perspective to get some distance from your everyday problems," said Dorfman (Photo above: Kaputian Beach Park)

6. Research concludes that the ocean offers opportunities to de-stress, secure a sense of balance, relax and recharge that helps your mind to practice focus and flexibility. (Photo above: Punta Elai Resort)

7. Sun exposure causes the body to produce vitamin D, which helps with bone strength and calcium absorption. .(www.sun-sentinel.com)  (Photo above: Blue Waters Resort)

 8. When you choose to hang out with your friends and family at the beach, the bond and enjoyment is there resulting to most strong connection among your group.  (Photo above: Villa Amparo Resort)

9. Personally, I am not mall/movie goer person. I rather incline my errands and spend my day at the beach with my husband/photographer, believe me it will strengthen your connection through conversation; planning and the essence of diversion increase your potential as a person and as a partner.  (Photo above: Precious Garden Resort)

Try it! We all need it for ourselves after all; every hard work we spend for our job…..we deserves a break.

(Lake Mainit, road to Surigao...we thought we are passing on a beach side, but were not)

             With all these stress and busy schedules with work and other responsibilities banging around your marriage/relationship, couples tend to neglect the one thing that makes a relationship strong which is “being in-love together”. Can we blame ourselves? We can’t help! we are in a process of adulthood who would agree with me?. 

Maybe this article may help you rejuvenate what once solid connection with your partner. Ready your necessities and leave your desk for a day and let’s hop in with a ROAD TRIP.

Road to Lake Danao

1. A good view means new plan

               The good thing about seeing nice view along the road is that it makes you appreciate life more, what you have and what have gone far to reach what you have right now. NOW that’s what you call appreciating.

               No kids!, no gadgets! no phone calls Just a pure breeze of air. What could be romantic to see all these view while you hold his hand and fall asleep on his shoulder. Put that headset and tune your favorite music.  Kiss her forehead, kiss her hand, there’s nothing to worry guys! your co-passengers were sleeping too, savor that few hours of sitting to each other and just be teens once in a while.

Lake Mainit Fresh Catch Clams

               Road trip is no trip without food trip?! Eat where the locals do, give that freedom to get what they want, put together in one table and discover how scrumptious or bitter your choices are. Free your tongue to taste and exchange your ideas on what you eat. Nevertheless, you might not realized but both of you are exchanging conversation then.

               You may assess your values together on how you come along with others. If your partner is able to render her/his smile then your marriage is still on a right track. Talk to people, ask for information, learn new labels, hear others experiences, you may not realized it but you become a better person for doing that.

               Photo brings back memories when our brain forgets. What you had from a certain place brings back emotions like happiness, excitement, hope, as well as your laughter together. So when the worlds give us a miracle of a non-stop capture machine! go for it and take whatever selfies with your partner. Make it unlimited so by the time you came home you take those feelings with you.

               Don’t be afraid to get lost and be afraid ladies!! This where our husband/boyfriend becomes the knight in shining armor (Nagging is a big NO-no ladies!) When we get lost we suffer an anxiety where we tend to rely on the masculinity of our husband. It’s a bonus factor for men out there, after all men is a psychologically calm creature, when it comes to adventure. Yup! Your read it correct, ladies so nagging won’t help! Don’t worry they can make it knowing you’re with him

               Come home happy heart though tired, thank each other that you are together even if it was a long ride. Make some coffee or bring that wine out, sit together and just reminisce what a good Road trip you had. Scan your photos and discuss how lovely the day was it will truly help you to bind together.

I hope this blog helps you out. Thank you

Photos you’ve seen was a road trip we had with my partner.
Guess where these photos taken? Don't forget to leave comments.

Kalanggaman Island raised its popularity few years ago. It is a two hour car drive from Baybay, Leyte. We had a less stress in finding this beautiful island via google map, it is accessible every locals can be your guide. We were amazed when we saw photos of this place from social media and since this is the highlight of our trip so let the adventures begin!

First stop office: the tourism office in Palompon, Leyte. Here you need to pay 150.00 

for the entrance fee.

Few walks from this photo is their main jumpstart to the island, it is a 40-50mins travel but hey! Those flying fish will never to fail to amazed you with their skills. (haha)

Hack #1: If you can make a reservation via online feel free to  do so, why? Aside from early reservation for your boat your entrance fee covers an open cottage but it is a first come first serve basis.

This is the charter that will take you to the island. You got to pay 3000.00 (back and forth)

Yes! I know I know it is a bit pricey. But hey! You see that 3 gallons of potable

water? it yours free.

Hack#2: Don’t worry about the price if you are travelling alone, you can opted to hop for other group or Travelers. You may just inform the information desk to mix you on group so you can pay less, but of course you need to be watchful for time.

And so Hello Kalanggaman!

You will never regret the sand bar on this island. As well as the crystal clear water and powder sand.

Hack #3: Yeah I get it! Its beautiful, but let me remind you how’s the sun can burn your skin so what better way to betray Mr. Sun.

Hack#4: The island has only few cottages, to avoid the hassle you may rent tables and chairs

Just approach the care taker. No corkage for food and drinks and good for overnight.

In this island, it is normal to see foreign tourist walking at their bikini’s

Don’t worry about the security you guys!…….. Army, Police and few “bargy tanod” is at your service.

Bored?? This island offers few water activities too (kayaking, rent snorkeling, and bicycles too)

  

  

To sum it up, our experience was fun and amazing, people are good too, the water is hell yeah-amazing. We don’t want to stop swimming.

The sandbar on this island is wider when low-tide. We didn’t get to walk on the island tip due to too much sun. But ill recommend you to go farther, there you’ll be surprised for a good diving spots.  

Thank you for dropping by!
