Communing with Nature in the “Tourist Spots Filled” Province of Albay
Communing with nature is something I have been doing since I learned to recognize the value of it. My definition of it translates to what I call “nature therapy”. That is to recharge and reconnect with myself through the abundance of nature. I do it in a multitude of ways such as watching the sun…
Nofa Farm and Resorts: A Private Oasis of Tranquility and Restful Retreat
The Hiker’s Maxim: “Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time (J.K.).” I am a nature lover.

Bagolatao Trilogy’s Part 3: Dipping In The Seawaters
Amidst my now urban life’s constant uproar, I refuse to forget how nature nourishes me. There is a big difference between watching the azure waters and plunging into it.

Bagolatao Trilogy’s Part 1: Basking In The Natural Scenery
When we hear the word “beach”, what usually comes to mind is an expanse of sand along a shore. Until I came across White “Pebbles” Beach at Brgy. Bagolatao in Minalabac, Camarines Sur. I had been to several beaches in the Bicol Region but it is only when I had my vacation a month ago…
