Hello Hivers 😊 Another day for a new blog! I hope everyone has a great day 😊

Memories are treasures that one person can keep for a lifetime. It could be vivid or faded and pleasant or painful. It could be shared with others and a learning that could help us shape as a person.

Now, let me share with all of you our good memories together with my colleague from a private school way back three years ago.

To Bantayan Island, we went. Upon hearing it from our school principal, what instantly came to my mind was the beautiful white sand beaches. I was a beachgoer but not a good swimmer. Hahaha! Sounds ironic, though!
Bantayan Island was reachable via barge.

We were in the barge with the co-teachers, heading to Bantayan Island.

It was a two-day and one-night faculty outing. We rented rooms in a beach resort and one of our itineraries was going to the Virgin Islands.

Virgin Island is located on the northern tip of Bantayan Island in the Philippines. It is accessible via boat from Bantayan Island.

We were on our way to Virgin Island. Life jackets were important as part of their safety precautions. I was quite nervous during this trip thinking negatively about, what-ifs! The worst part, was the boat engine stopped in the middle of the sea, it good thing the boatmen were able to start it again. Our school principal at that time was just positive but my heart pounded rapidly. Thank you, God, we arrived safely at our destination. Hehehe!

Look at that friend (the one who was wearing sunglasses)! Always on the smile whenever a camera clicked.

After thirty minutes of sailing, we were here at Virgin Island. Wow, as in wow! It was a torn emotion, thinking about how to enjoy this amazing paradise with an extremely hot atmosphere. However, there were limited palm trees and an oceanfront cabin that offered a pocket of shade from the sun.

Virgin Island is one of the popular destinations in the North. It is known for its stunning sandbar and crystal-clear water. It is called "Virgin Island" because of its pristine and untouched natural beauty. This is a remote and idyllic island that still preserves its natural charm and beauty. It has no big establishments and houses, thus not crowded with local people too. Some international tourists visited and enjoyed the place but only a few during the time that we went there.

The entire place was a paradise with the natural breathtaking natural wonders that captured the hearts of the guests and visitors. It is where we can see the most pristine blue hues and turquoise merge harmoniously with the sky creating a stunning visual masterpiece that looks almost surreal.

Amazing, look at that narrow strip of fine, powdery white sand that extends far within the entire place into the crystal clear water during low tide. In addition, I looked at the array of tropical fish that mesmerized me to take this photo.

The sense of tranquility and joy embraced us in this place. Tall palm trees swayed in the gentle, balmy wind, providing shaded areas where we can relax in these serene surroundings.

Indeed, Virgin Island is a great place to unwind where our worries and doubts can be replaced with genuine waves of laughter and our body and mind are recharged. We can connect with the sea and bark in the splendor of this unspoiled tropical paradise.

In here, we can fully enjoy the beauty of nature in its purest form.

(P.S. This was based on my experience three years ago. All the photos being used were captured by yours truly. As of the moment, I don't have any updates if there are some changes made in the Virgin Island.)

That’s all for my blog today. My sincerest thanks for taking the time to read and support my blog, until next time. See you!
