ISLAND OF SIQUIJOR ESCAPADE!

Last summer, my family decided to go to Siquijor; hometown of my father. My brothers and sisters got very excited because we've never been there before even if it's the hometown of my father and we have never meet the relatives of my father. So when my parents decided to go there, we're very glad. We woke up at dawn and rode the bus together with my aunt and uncles via Ozamiz. We we have our pack lunch at the boat and it's very relaxing. It's just a day trip so not so scary.(hehe)While at the boat, i can now see the beauty of the island upon arriving. The white sand beaches, the massive acacia trees, the mountains, the clear waters, it's just perfect. As I've learned, Siquijor is the magical and mystical island of the Philippines used to be part of Negros Oriental. Siquijor is said to have magic potions, shamans, sorceres, and witches and a lot of filipinos will not stay overnight in the island because of this superstition. For me, i have no worries because my father is from Siquijor and a person will not be bewitch as long as you'll not do any fool things to the place and the people. It just makes my trip more exciting.
We arrived in Siquijor around 5:00 pm, my uncle accompanied us to their home, to the town of my father and frankly, as we arrived there, i realized that i came from a big family. It's my first time to see my aunts and uncles, my cousins, relatives in the side of my father so normally, me and my siblings were quite. We kiss the hand of my aunts and uncles and they kissed us back asking us their names. I was very blissful at that moment.We almost slept over because of the non-stop talks and laughs.
At the morning, it was very invigorating, so cold. It was fiesta, so we attend mass at the San Antonio Chapel then after the mass, eat, eat, eat. In our third day, we went in Salagdoong beach resort, a perfect resort found in Maria, Siquijor. Crystal clear beaches, white sand, the sceneries, it's exquisite. On our fourth day, we went in the simbahan ng Lazi, the oldest church in Siquijor and in the front of simbahan ng lazi is the old convent. I missed Siquijor, I missed my relatives, the beaches. Our stay in Siquijor was very remarkable, hope i can go there again.
