Love in the islands



I went to Dumaguete and Siquijor with two of the most interesting travel companions.


We spent Valentine's day in Siquijor... the mystical island... the island of fire... la isla del fuego.


And there I got to experience one of the best valentine's day ever.



Being photo enthusiasts, we started this game of putting titles to photos that we take. "Ang puso ko ay parang... *the subject of the photograph*. So for four wonderful days, we kept on saying... "Ang puso ko ay parang dagat, or bangka, anting-anting, etc..."



Siquijor and Dumaguete are the perfect places to spend the day of love in. And since I don't want to do injustice to these lovely islands, I won't write about them. But I will show photos which struck me.



I left my heart in this island.

"Bulaklak ng pag-ibig
Dahon ng pagmamahal
Ugat ng ala-ala
Ipinanganak man akong
Walang kakambal
Mahalin mo ako
Ng walang karibal"
