Our Philippines: Camiguin Island

" Camiguin Island, the island of your imagination"....



natural cold spring


of course, eating in a banana leaves with the family was great! :)



there's no other sun set like in Philippines ;)









"Badjao" are people living in a small fishing boats, taken in Cagayan de Oro



leaving the island, goodbye! see you again!




White Island is one of the high lights in Camiguin, it is a paradise for divers


Two months holiday in my homeland is finished, i'm back now here in Wolfenbüttel, my second homeland :) to be with my family both in Cavite and Camiguin was wonderful, " there's no place like home" as they say. My eldest son Romar is now graduate in college in Computer Science, he made us all so proud and happy specially me and Michael :) again to my son Romar, Congratulations! :)

I grew-up in Niog, Bacoor, Cavite, just a few kilometers away from Manila. But unfortunately, i didn't had a chance and time to explore my hometown, and we are far away from everything like beaches and nature, so no pics from there. Anyway, i had some photos from Camiguin Island our second home in Philippines. I only lived there for 1 year but fall in love in this small island as i fisrt saw it. I'm proud to say in this small but beautiful island is where my children and nieces grew up.


In our group in Salitype Society, we are doing this "Our Philippines" meme and me as a Filipina is proudly presenting to you Camiguin Island for "Our Philippines".


Please visit http://www.salitypesociety.com/ for more pictures of Camiguin Island, thank you.

"my bestfriend" and me alone...




my backpack is "my bestfriend" in travelling, this backpack is already more than six years old, and together we had been into many places and of course with my hubby-bi Michael ;) in every country that we went i stitch a flag of the country on my backpack, and hubby says it's like a "trophy" for a traveler like me ;) can you tell which flag is missing?

the Lorbeer (it suppose to be olive leaves) are from Mutti, she always give us this leaves as a beliefs or tradition from the bible that any one who's going or traveling, this leaves will keep the traveler safe on his journey.

this will be my last post for the month, Michael will drive me to Frankfurt on Saturday, i will see you all after two months..... have a wonderful day to everyone and have fun blogging, hope to "see" you all again ;)

er.. sorry guys if my backpack is bit dirty... never washed it for six years hehe ;) and don't ask me where's my flip-flops... i'm wearing it right now ;)

*hugs* to all muaahhh!!!! ;)

Camiguin Island





























Camiguin Island - a small island in the Northern Mindanao, with four volcanoes (officially, but they say there are seven volcanoes in the island) you can get there through Cagayan de Oro by bus and then take the ferry to Balinguan or Benoni. From Manila you can take the plane like Cebu Pacific or through ships like Super Ferry.

i don't have so much pictures of the high lights of the Island, maybe when i come back from Philippines in May i'll have more photos. This beautiful Island is for us our second home, next to Cavite, my children grew up here living with my mother for more than 15 years, and they speak the local language more or less,

and finally i can eat again with them in the banana leaves ;) no spoons, no knifes just with the hand ;) a traditional way of every Filipinos when the family are all together :)

i'll see this wonderful island again... very soon... can't wait anymore ;)

the shell house








we only stayed for a while in this city somewhere in Denmark, the city is dead but the shell house is interesting and unique, have you ever seen a house like this?
