Do not know much about architecture, but I am a big fun of NEO Classical Architecture in Churches. Its purest form in style was derived from Classical Greece and Rome – very Baroquish (Baroque in short). At the back of the church, also lies an old cemetery. Blast from the past!
Lovely day spent with my brother…

This post is about Victoria BC- THE BEAUTIFUL!
The city I visited to see a childhood best friend (ANNA)
It’s clean and family oriented town
The people are great and an outdoorsy type of place
There are theaters, restaurants and coffee shops galore
Museums, art gallery and the great EMPRESS HOTEL!
Everything you could hope for………….
Although, I visited THE BEAUTIFUL Victoria BC last 2011
I say, it is a sin not to share this BEAUTIFUL PLACE – Victoria BC

As you know, I love this place so much…That day, I was like in heaven..Total happiness.
Nature is what I crave for..Not really a city and mall person, I much prefer to be close to nature than among-st sea of people . So this place helped me decide where to live, I decided today to move to Bicol instead of Manila.
The provincial rate is a lot lower than Manila. However, with my ingenuity and creativity, I will find a way to triple or quadruple my earnings. I find that I am more creative and energetic when surrounded by nature.
Plus, my second blog will help promote an organic Bicol based product. And by living here, I will be able to help and promote Bicol Tourism too by showing all my wonderful adventures.
So the order from my landlord was really a blessing…This could be my calling.

I would like to extend my gratitude to the owners for their hospitality during my visit. I never forget people who treat me with kindness.

TOY BANKA (BOAT)
As soon as we got down Nato Port from Atulayan Island, I saw these two adorable brothers playing with their toy banka (boat). I just had to take a picture. You can see the innocence and joy of the two brothers showing off their prize toy.

More shots of the volcano….
My trip to Sorsogon was short but a success. Thank God, we both woke up early enough to get there in time. The van driver I hired thanks to him drove nicely…It was my first time in Sorsogon and surprised to see so many trees and lots of nature.
Sorsogon is a province of the Philippines located in the Bicol Region; it is the southernmost province in Luzon. Perhaps every traveler to Sorsogon City will have heard of whale shark diving when they hear the name of the city. The place to go whale shark diving is in the nearby town of Donsol, which has been dubbed as a whale shark capital. Locally known as butanding, these gentle whale sharks can be seen from October to December as they come to feed on krill and plankton.
Will be back next month..On my free time, thinking of stopping by another tourist attraction in Sorsogon name Bulusan Lake…getting there is a trek but all is fine. If I need to ride a carabao, will ride one…No kidding!

Me and my niece left for Daraga Legaspi to see Cagsawa Ruins earlier today. Unfortunately, Mayon Volcano was covered with clouds so I was not able to have a good shot of the volcano. Because of the extreme heat and humidity, we did not stay more than an hour in Cagsawa Ruins…
The church of Cagsawa was built after 1724 by Franciscan friars under Fray Francisco Blanco in the small town of Cagsawa. It was supposed to replace an earlier church built in 1636 that had been burned down by Dutch Pirates. It was destroyed during the most destructive eruption of the nearby Mayon Volcano in February 1, 1814. The eruption killed an estimated 1,200 people in the surrounding areas and buried the town of Cagsawa (among others) under several hundred million cubic meters of ash.
