Another day, another blog.

Today we went to Guinanayan Island. This is located in the province of Albay, Bicol Region, Philippines.

This island is known for its crystal-clear waters and breathtaking landscapes. Making it a popular destination for swimming and photography.

As the sun rose, we packed our bags with towels, sunscreens, and, of course, cameras to capture the memories we were about to create.

After a short boat ride, we finally arrived at the island.

The vibrant blue of the ocean stretched out before us, as we stepped onto the sandy shores.

We wasted no time but raced toward the water.

We splashed and swam as the sunlight danced on the surface of the waves.

We squealed with joy, forgetting all the worries.

After swimming for a while, we decided to take a break.

We took photos against the backdrop of the stunning landscape.

Pictures of playful poses, candid laughter, and the occasional attempt of a serious shot that quickly turned into giggles.

Eager to explore, we ventured around the island, discovering secluded coves.

With each new spot, we captured more memories. Taking turns of one another.

As we finished capturing those memories, we got back to strolling along the shoreline.

We noticed an array of smooth, colorful sea shells and pieces of corals scattered across the sand.

They glimmered in the sunlight, each one unique and beautiful in its own way.

While collecting it, I found a perfectly flat stretch of sand, where I began arranging the corals carefully.

Forming the letters that would spell out "I ❤️ YOU."

It was a beautiful sight. But I'm not done yet. I also decided to spell out my name.

I arrange the pieces of coral side by side to create my name.

Once everything was set, I stepped back to admire my artwork.

Does it look perfect? 🥰

After our camera was filled with memories, we then decided to get back to the crystal-clear water and create more moments and memories without being interrupted by our mobile devices.

We laugh and share stories, giggles, and bonds that made that day so special.

This Guinanayan island adventure is an unforgettable experience.

Until our next island destination... Buh-bye. 👋💗
