Picture Perfect: Catarman Shoreline

During our Earth Camp 2014, we had a coastal cleanup activity in the beach fronting Camiguin National High School and Catarman Central School. I was captivated by their crescent beach line. It must have been great for the the people who live here to take a walk along the beach. I imagine many young ones having a stroll or beach party or just look at the wide expanse of the sea.

The water is crystal clear too. Another thing I love about it is the pebbles. In Sagay where I grew up, we have big stones all over our coastline.  Here the pebble are just the right size for swimming and having a good time at the beach.

Picture Perfect: Camiguin Convention Center

One of the goals I have for this blog is to find picture perfect places in Camiguin where tourists can take their photos and say "I'VE BEEN TO CAMIGUIN!" If cities  have various man made skyscrapers, in Camiguin Mt. Timpoong is the highest peak we have.  I've tried various locations but the best so far is the one taken at the pool of Camiguin Convention Center.

What I love about this shot is how it captures the essence of what I feel Camiguin is about. The pool reflects how one can enjoy the various tourist destinations in Camiguin while relishing the verdant rural view.

About the pool of Camiguin Convention Center:
Entrance to the pool is absolutely free but you have to write a letter to the governor's office if you wanna take a dip. The pool's water is not chlorinated because it's flowing. But because of that algae grows fast. So a letter to the governor's office is required to have it cleaned right before you use it.

I hope you come to Camiguin and take your photo here!

Macopa Flowers

On my way to school, I passed by this macopa tree that has she'd it's flowers creating this surreal enchanted scene.

Around this time on year, you'll find this pink flowers all around. I wish you could see them. You'll be transported to the land that only exists in your imagination at least for a second.

I love Camiguin!

Here are the flowers up close. Aren't they lovely?

Back to the Island

Maupay na adlaw injo an! (Good day to all!)

I'm Moira and I'm back to the island of Camiguin where I grew up. I have lived here for almost 10 years since I was six years old. I didn't get to explore the island then because my family was overprotective and I was scared.

All that's about to change because I'm exploring every bit of this island and I'm documenting everything. Years from now I'll look back and I won't have any regrets. YOLO!

Come, let's explore Camiguin together!

Back then I have always wanted to visit Mantigue Island,  an islet of Camiguin.
When I got back I finally did.
