I've read a lot of articles and stories about you
Testimonies from the people who has seen your beauty free
Your growing number of admirers is already a clue
That it's time to go and set foot on your land for my eyes to see

Ok, enough on the poetic part of this story :). For quite some time, I've been reading write-ups on blogs about this place. Thanks to the likes of James BetiaThe Sole Sisters and a lot more. There are already dozens of travel bloggers who featured this island gem :).

Being a corporate person sitting at the office from 9am-7:30pm checking my Outlook mails and sending e-mails, working on the excel files for 5 days a week, I was thinking of a place to have my weekend getaway. During breaks, I frequently read travel blogs and luckily James is organizing a Calaguas Getaway 2! I scan through the details and of course the dates, it has been scheduled from May 10-12. "Sweet !" I said, as I have no prior commitments on those dates plus it's a long weekend. Then with no hesitations or second thoughts I went to the nearest BPI at our office to settle the P1k DP for the event.

This will be my first summer event and I can't wait to start from the crown jewel of Camarines Norte. Bask under the sun and in the fine white sand of the beach. Swim in the clear turquoise waters. Be lazy the entire weekend and enjoy the sceneries of the island. Meet and get along with the new companies. After all, we deserve a break. Don't we? These were the things that pops from my mind when I get excited for this, very rewarding I believe. It is 2 days from now, a little more wait and we will meet at last. 


Too good to be true ?

Know that I'll travel hundred or a thousand miles
Endure the long hours of land travel
To experience the beauty and happiness you made others feel
And when we meet, adoring you will be its final seal



Lovely
