Why spend summer in the gripping Virgin Island?


I am so excited to share the pictures I took when we had our early summer getaway in Virgin Island.  Although some were already uploaded in my facebook account but I saved the most fine-looking picture that will leave your eyes stick to watching it and will make you want to experience being it that place.


The statues of Saint Pio, Saint Jospeph, Mary Mediatrix and Jesus are there. The place is quite perfect to meditate during Holy Week. The island is also called “Isola di Francesco or Island of Francis”. According to my friend who is a good-friend of the owner, the island is now owned by an inhabitant of Baclayon. And the reason why statues were made is to give thanks to Saint Pio and to the Lord God, wherein their aspirations were granted.

Why spend summer there? Simple, Virgin Island is an awe-inspiring place. While going towards the Island riding thru a boat, you could see from afar the beautiful island surrounded by the water as blue as the sky. The long-white-sandy beaches will make you awe, wanting your feet to walk until the edge of it. It will also make you marvel the unending swimming pool-like white-sandy sea-floor. The clean and clear water will keep you swim and swim till eternity. The smiles and laughter’s of the beautiful being enjoying  in the beach under the heat of the sun are strikingly pleasant and attractive.

While others are busy wearing there life-vessel, I took a pose sometime.

It is my favorite picture. I just love the blurring-effect as well as these lovely ladies.

Since I was the acting-photographer, I grab the opportunity to take my turn.

I was amused by these korean people while watching them took pictures.

I had the chance to sit and relax.

Don’t let this summer pass without experiencing the island escapade. Bring with you your camera, go pro, eyeglasses, sexy swimsuit attire and a perfect smile.
