The Small But Proud Island Of Siquijor

Siquijor is the smallest island province in the Central Visayas Region. Siquijor is the third smallest province in the country both in terms of population and land area. For a time it was called Isla del Fuego or the "Island of Fire" by the Spanish. Siquijor is considered by many Filipinos to be a mystical island, full of mysterious and other supernatural phenomena. It is a famous travel spot for tourists and locals alike because of its vast coral reefs that are just ideal for scuba diving and snorkeling. White sand beaches make up most of the 102-kilometer coastline of the little island of Siquijor. Beach Resorts is the perfect island getaway. One can make use of the amenities and services that the resort offers including package tours around the island’s historical spots – a century old house and equally ancient cathedrals and convents. It has a total of six interesting caves, the most popular of which is the Cantabon Cave – a cavern filled with stalactites and stalagmites, tiny waterfalls and pools. It also has rivers and springs surrounded by dense mangroves and an undisturbed tropical forest. Siquijor is also well-known for its festivals that focus on primitive healing rituals where incantations are sung while the old folks make potions out of herbs, roots, insects and tree barks. In hushed talks, locals would share a story or two about folk legends pointing to the existence of witchcraft and witches in the island.

Suiquijor may be reached from three vantage points in the Visayas: Dumaguete, Bohol and Cebu. The boat ride to the port of Larena is fairly short depending on the weather conditions.

Keep Dancing

Who among you loves to dance? Who among you dances well? Who among you love's to dance, but cannot dance well? I would always consider my self under the third choice. I always love to dance, but unfortunately I am not good at it. I am taking up my P.E. 2 right now, which is totally about dances. I partly like the idea of dancing, but I wonder if, will I ever be able to pass this. I'm gonna tell you about what happened to me during my P.E. class yesterday, when I had my practicom in dancing. My class starts at 7 am and ends at 9am. I was 10 minutes late when I entered the class because I woke up late. When I saw them lining up in the gym already, my knees began to shake and I feel a little nervous. Then I rushed to my line, and I looked for my dance partner. My classmates were rehearsing already during that time. After many rehearsals, our teacher decided to start grading us, thanked God, it is a group activity, and not by individual. One group started, then another, and finally, our turn came.

I just don't know why, but every time I sing or dance in front of many people, my heart beats fast, then I feel as if cold winds are rushing through my veins, and worst, I feel like I'm gonna faint. What's bad is that when we started to stand in front of everyone, those symptoms slowly appeared yesterday, piece by piece. I can't help it. Then, I tried hard to convince myself to be calm, as calm as I could. I tried to destruct the odd feelings I had by thinking of different things. Then, the music starts to play. I did my best to recall all the dance steps our teacher taught us, and in my surprise, I am hitting on. I am getting the right dance moves and positions. We were almost done, when suddenly I noticed a familiar face staring at me from the other class. Sadly, I was distracted and I was lost. Then I ended up by hearing my dance partner yelling at me saying "keep dancing".

First Time

Hello everyone. This is my first blog post in this site. I don't really know what to write, but I just feel like writing. All the things in here are so new to me. I've never experienced bloging before, at least not from this site. I do have one on friendster and many on facebook, but being in here is way too different. I am pretty sure this will be a lot of fun, thanks to our teacher! This is very interactive, I do hope that you will keep on following me, and you will never get tired of sending comments on my blog posts. I am very open to any comments and corrections. Please feel free to correct me with my spellings, grammars, etc. considering that I am a pure blooded Filipino, and English is not my primary language, so it literally means I am not good in it.

Thank You:)

God Bless You More. . .
