Summary of Summer

Before summer touched the shores of the island, I had my plans perfectly laid out. It wasn't extravagant and ambitious. I only wanted to try something other than beaching like trekking, perhaps. And since we only got 2 more weeks left of the summer sun, I thought I'd tell you how did my summer went. ;)

For weeks and weeks in the month of March, I was endlessly thinking about how do I get around enjoying the sun season. For one thing, there's the matter of expenses and since I am but a student, I was worried I would end up in the four corners of my room. Unexpectedly, I pulled a few strings and get on on the first summer escape. yay! 

Osmeña Peak

 The kind of adventure I was telling you about, yes that's exactly it. I have seen posts from my friends on Facebook about how they enjoyed the place as much as I did. I would, however, suggest dawn break as the best time to climb. Nature will give you an impressive show of beauty you will surely never forget. 

Pado Dive Camp Resort

I have been to this place many times before, it was always a good one but sunset dipping was quite another. I rarely go out in the water at sun down. I think it was scary that you just didn't know what's out there. That time, what's out there was a beautiful sunset, fresh sea breeze and inviting waves. I can't help but play with them. :D

Santiago, Camotes Island

My luck went too far this time. This wasn't at all in my bucket list. Well, not for not wanting but I thought this was far-fetched. But I really did set foot in Camotes, the island of virgin waters! It was an overwhelming feeling, I tell you. The island was pretty diverse and almost untouched. We traveled for almost an hour but I didn't see a single building or commercial establishment, except for resorts, that is. What's in there was nature at its purest. 

Kadaugan sa Mactan

What better way to wrap up summer than throwing a huge party?! This annual celebration commemorates the victory of the islanders from the Spanish invaders decades ago. People from different parts of the island meet in a 3-day street party! This year was better than last and I am already excited for the next! :D

From a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your summer? Definitely a 10! ;)

Share your summer experience and make me envy. Hahaha
