The Farm @ Carpenter Hill, City of Koronadal, South Cotabato

Our annual planning was held at the Farm @ Carpenters Hill, City of Koronadal South Cotabato. It was my first time to visit The Farm in Koronadal. It was located beside the National highway on the right going to General Santos 10 minutes away from the city proper of Koronadal.

As I entered the gate of The Farm. I felt the cold atmosphere there are lots of trees (more like a tropical garden setting) and the place is clean, and silent perfect for someone who needs focus and relaxation. There are a few staff that I encountered as I walk towards the venue of the said planning. They are very warm and accommodating.

The facilities are well maintained it seems that everything is just purchased. They have a beautiful array of bonsai garden. the bonsai are well cared. It also has a beautiful butterfly garden. it was full of butterfly's off course. The place is well landscaped. They have a children's play ground where they can run and play.

Midway White Beach Resort: Initao, Misamis Oriental Philippines

An hour away from Cagayan de Oro City. We travelled 30 minutes from Naawan the next town after Initao. Its like a paradise hailed as one of the most treasured gems in the Philippines and may be one of the top most visited tourist destination in the Philippines.

This was taken using a very expensive camera, I think its a slr camera.

Midway Beach Resort is located in Tubigon, Initao Misamis oriental, an hour away from Cagayan de Oro. It is a beautiful beach with light-colored sand and beautiful aquamarine water. A perfect place to laze on pristine white sands while watching the panoramic view of blue coastal waters, plus too many amenities to choose from rolled into one package.Experience the Midways Beach water Sports: Kayak, Aquabike, Snorkling, Canoe, Glassbottom boat, discover scuba, swimming pool session.

We witness how this perfect hideaway can wash away our troubled minds and spirits as we had summer getaway last May 2011. My family, relatives and friends enjoy the beautiful scenery ans refreshing air that carressed your face in the early morning. We stayed in Midway Beach resort over the night after my brothers wedding in Manticao.

In the early morning you can really enjoy the blue-green waters, that is very refreshing and cold as if mixing with the morning dew.

Mantigue Island, Camiguin, Philippines

I travelled to Mantigue Island on September 2009. The weather condition was so fine, you can feel the warmth of the sun. Around 8 am in the morning we rented a small "banka" or boat to go to the island, the rent then was 500 pesos for 6 people. The person owning the banka will wait for you until you all return to the mainland of Camiguin.

As we approach the island, you can see the very white sand, that enveloped the area. It was sooo white. It was surrounded by a gleaming white beach of powdery coral sand. I hope I had then my expensive slr canon camera.

Going into these island is not on our plan, but stories of its beauty has made us wondered and explored the island. It was all worth it.
