Incredible view of “Elemnan Manok Bay”, the undeveloped beach.

Who love the beach? We all love the beach, the blue sea water, the cold breeze, the white sand and the beautiful coral reefs and additional the beauty of sunset.

We spend money to visit beautiful beaches we want just to relax and to fulfill you vacation needs.

There’s one beach in Negros Island that has beautiful view,it has a white sand, you can witness the sunset every afternoon, you can see the beautiful Danjugan island in front of it but no cottages around the area, this place is open for anyone and the place is not developed yet.

The virgin beach of “Elemnan Manok”. Drift woods are scattered around, no man made structure are built and all are natural.
The owner maintain the natural beauty of this place and ignoring high offers from buyers.



Elemnan Manok is located at Cauayan Negros Occidental. This place is known to have a beautiful beach resort like Punta Bulata and El Tzino. There are several areas that are not developed yet and one of it is the Elemnan Manok Bay. So far, it is not yet popular and few people knew this place.

We had a chance to visit the place with the help of our friend and we spent time swimming and enjoying the beautiful place.

White Sand, Crystal water and colorful coral reefs.
Everyone can enjoy the place, you can bring your swimming gear and check the beautiful and natural marine life.



It’s totally free to visit the place. It is walking distance from Punta Bulata white beach resort located in Balaring Elihan Cauayan Negros Occidental. The area is away from the community, going there is a little bit difficult, no transportation and it took 30 minutes of walk.

However, the place is really a stress reliever. You can feel the fresh air, you can just simply find place to settle your self behind those big rocks.

The white sand and fine pebbles will surely attract you. This is the one of the most beautiful things in there. You can pick shells, you can play with little crabs and enjoy different colorful fishes. But careful of sea orchin, a lot of them are scartered anywhere.

You can see the beautiful Danjugan Island.
Danjugan Island is a popular island that preserve marine life and wild life. It is even featured in National Geographic.



While enjoying the place, you can as well enjoy the beautiful Danjugan island view. Danjugan was actually popular island in town. However? this place is not open for public and only for study about marine and wildlife purposes are allowed to dock and visit the area.

Travel blogger story: Random Photos of beautiful sunrise, sunset and greenfield in Negros Occidental

Good morning fellas, it is a cold morning here. Yesterday i visited one of my relative place and spent 1 night with them. Their place is just besides the main high way where you can see the beautiful sunrise and feel the fresh air while enjoying the view of green rice field.

I never appreciated the beauty of this place since i arrived at night time.

When i woke this morning, i saw how peaceful and beautiful the place is. Its a wow!it was very relaxing, away from noisy city, i can feel the fresh air, birds and insects are chirping around it seems like they are happy to see the light of the sun.

Sunrise, Green rice field and peaceful place.

It was taken early morning today at 6am, i woke up early morning and went out from the house and see the beautiful and natural beauty of the earth.

This is what i like in province, away from rush hour, away from traffic and i just simply love the place and the surrounding. The green rice field is really a good thing to see after a long hour of sleep.

Its the best morning, when you wake up each day and have a cup of coffee while enjoying the beauty of the surrounding.

It is nice to live life in here

If given the chance, i would like to live here for the rest of my life. This is what i dreamed, to live life away from stressful place.

This place is located at Sipalay, it is one of the peaceful Baranggay in the City and it is called Kubay. There are few residences in here including my relatives and their number one source of income is farming.

People here are very hospitable amd friendly. Way of living is simply, they just spend most of their time taking care of their rice field and they will have enough supply of foods after the harvest.

No worries for the transportation, buses and passenger jeep are passing every hour.

There place is located newr the high way or main road, going to another city is very easy.

There buses and jeeps are passing by every hour. Going to another city may took hours or more but waiting for a bus is not a problem. Away from the city, no problem. This place is just walking distance from the sea shore where you can buy fresh foods from the sea or you can visit small market nearby to by fish.

Welcome to Dagsa Place where you can find amazing art works and amazing people behind this creative arts and place. I knew Tatay Dagsa way back 2013 when i still a student, they conducted a free workshop and seminar on how to save the earth sharing their advocates. Tatay Dagsa or Tata Felcon made his name when he traveled around Philippines using his home made skate board, with him is his advocacy to help earth by recycling drift woods and other garbages. Dagsa place is referring to a place where most of the recycling process are made. Tatay Dagsa which is his real name is Tatay Felcon Rivera who took the initiative to promote and push through his movements. Dagsa is an illongo dialect for drift wood.

The Dagsa continues until Marlon Ponsoy or also known as @flabbergast-art came in  together with the @walkofhope project to help develop the dagsa place. The dagsa place today is way different from before. New look, new activities, improbements, work shop and new opportunity for the people to enjoy the place.

This is how the Old Dagsa Place looks like.
 It was just a simple native small house made of bamboo, Nanay Dagsa the wife of tatay dagsa used to sell foods and other coffee before.

This is the old Dagsa Place, it was an old native house where Wife of Tatay Dagsa used to sell foods and coffee. It is still the place where the recycling of drift wood are being made. It was just look like a simple small store, nothing special in it, having no life and not so attractive.

The last time i visited the place, we used to sleep in that small native house. It was just small that can accommodate 5 person. But the place is cool, it is just few distance away from the sea shore. Besides of that little house, is the road going to the end of the boulevard.

Today's food trip: Halo2x and Burger with Fries at Cafe Filomina

I had a quick break after my morning class. I was craving for a "Halo2x and Burger" since yesterday. I was thinking for having a food trip next week since my @bobiecayao will be here but i cant wait enough. So what i did, i grab my vehicle and went to "Cafe Filomena ", its a popular restaurant that is located at the first floor of Bethel Guest house.
This is an awesome place indeed. They have the best hotel and they have affordable yet recommendable Delicious foods for everyone.

Cafe Filomena, where delicious foods are served.

At the first floor, you can find the restaurant named Cafe Filomina. They have a lot of delicious foods anyway.

Just to stop my craving, i just bought these delicious foods. You can actually look for the best foods in their menu but Halo-halo and fries and burger is my choice. Oh, one best thing. This place is facing near the sea port and boulevard. You can find good scenic view in there.

Pinoy Style "Halo-Halo"

I just love Halo-halo with different mixed fruits and sweet ingredients. Its tasty, juicy and sweets.

Halo-halo is really good during hot season especially summer is fast approaching. Most of the restaurant here in our place are serving "Halo-Halo" to bring happiness to people who are "hot", haha..What i mean is, those people who are suffering from hot weather condition.

I ordered one serve of Halo-Halo and burger with fries, but i waited for for 10 minutes to serve. However it is all worth it after seeing this food in front of me.

Fries and Egg Burger, my lunch meal

Fries and burger all in one serve, its kind of wow. Yes, i love fries but i love burger more. But they are all in one serve, Awesome right?

Burger! Burger! this what makes me hungry every time i saw it posted somewhere else. I saw one of my friend in facebook posted it in her wall, so asked here about it and if where i can buy this delicious burger. Its actually bigger in size comparing to burger in fast food chain. It has the same price actually.

Whenever you got the chance to visit Dumaguete and want to have food trip, just beep me in. I can bring you to Cafe Filomena, but you have to treat me as well. =)

Me and the beautiful world to see!

This gonna a wrap up post from my previous travel adventure way back years ago. I just want to share to the world that there are places in earth that you have visit and experience the beauty of nature. In Philippines, there are lots of beautiful places to see, this post will help you and guide you about the places that you could possibly visit here in Philippines.

When you heard about Philippines, you might familiarize with Boracay, Underground river and Chocolate hills in Bohol. These places are just one of those recognized by international because of its beautiful and unique features of land scape and nature formation.

However when you explore the Philippines you can see a lot of beautiful places that are some of it are not being recognized by many and not being developed. Below i will share to you some of my travel experiences from different part of the Philippines.

Oslob, Cebu City

This is one of the spot where you can stay and relax for while from your travel. Its an over viewing deck where you can see the blue sea from a far and the Somilon island.

If you are heading to cebu from Dumaguete or Negros, you can passd by this place. Good thing, when we had our travel adventure going to cebu we ride in my motorcycle and we had a chance to stay and have some photo shoot as well. This over viewing deck was actually made just for those traveler, it has table and benches, terrace and a place where you can set down and relax. No entrance fee.

Simala Shrine of Lindogon Cebu

This is another unique place to visit. Simala Shrine was actually one of the most visited place in Cebu, its a huge infrastructure that looks like a castle situated in the middle of the mountain

.

I was featuring this place form my previous articles but its nice to have it featured again to let the world see how beautiful it is. Simala is a place where people are coming in to offer their prayers and thanksgiving. It seems the place where miracles and testimonies are being granted. People who are taking board exams, those are applying for a job, those who have sick and ill are coming in to have their wishes granted.

Over viewing Elemnan Manok Peak

This is actually not so popular, it is not yet developed by locals. The place is accessible by transportation and need to walk 30 minutes from the main road.

The owner of this place was still holding on its land despite of many offers from rich people to buy the area. Its really a potential place for a resort. Its a wide flat land surface behind of it with water sources. Today, it still free for anyone who want to visit. However, there are no place to stay like benches and tables. Its a good experience when you get there.|

Little Santo Rini of Janay-Janay Negros Oriental

This place is situated 30 minutes from the high way where you need to travel in an elevated place to get there, however its accessible with transportation.

There is place there they called Santo Rini, however its just a small portion with white small houses painted with white. The overviewing island of cebu is very visible and its a nice place for a short break. There are restaurants, motels in there as well if you really wish to stay over night.
