Isla Del Fuego (The Mystical Island of Siquijor

Its been awhile since my last blog, I've been totally hovered with lots of activities (not to mention troubles... special cite - my boyfriend's desperate ex-girlfriend who constantly bothers us) but eventually i opened a new account on http://www.chictopia.com/littlemissdoll that inspires me to start blogging again. =)) although it's not yet jam packed with photos. =))
 As much as i love fashion and photography, i am also in love with travelling. My previous job as a Brand/Marketing Coordinator blessed me with continuous travelling. And now looking at old photographs of my travel -  it truly brings good memories. I wanna share it with the rest of the world. =)


                 Also known as Isla del Fuego or Island of Fire, Siquijor is an island province located in the Central Visayan Region of the Philippines.
It is popularly known for its magic potions, shamans, sorcerers and witches. But for me and 4 other companions that didn’t hinder us from experiencing the excitement that Siquijor could offer.  Being a brand/marketing coordinator my job obliged me to travel to different parts of the Visayan Region and Siquijor being about an hour boat ride from Dumaguete we blissfully include it to our itinerary.
Upon approaching the port of Siquijor we were welcomed by the white sand beaches of the Island. A spectacular sight for me.  We hired a multicab to take us around the island. And here are some of the places we went to.
The Lazi Convent it is used by Friars as a place of recreation and rest. A typical “Bahay na Bato” or Stone House. It’s ground floor is made of thick layer of stone. The second floor is made of hard wood studs and panel. The convent was constructed in 1887.

Rumored to be the single enchanted waterform in the province, the Cambugahay the water is clear and calm and fit for bathing. The surrounding trees provide a picturesque backdrop, coupled with the intermittentbird sounds and the constant gurgling of the water

And our last stop is in The Old Enchated Balete Tree believed to be 400 years old.
Our Experiences in Siquijor is truly mystical. A laid back, unspoiled paradise.
