Lamierda#1: Misibis Bay and Cagraray Eco-Energy Park Part 1 (April 2012)


Funny it is how I am very much fascinated seeing beautiful places I had discovered through internet and wished that one day, I would be able to visit all of those if God permits. I have lots of pictures on my Pinterest account and soon, I want to add more. Calaguas Beach in Camarines Norte, Pinamuntugan Island in our town Bacacay and of course, Donsol Sorsogon, are just three of the hundred amazing places listed on my "dream place to visit someday.."

First on my list, Misibis Bay, which is  an hour away from my home in Pili, Bacacay.
Lamierda #1

Few months ago, I got to visit Misibis Bay Resort and Cagraray Eco- Energy park with my best friend Catherine. It was summer. Our unplanned visit to our other best friend, Rosemarie, turned into a very memorable four-day escapade.
We actually didn't expect visiting the Misibis Bay Resort. Our only purpose of coming to the place was to grant our friend's wish. She lived in Misibis with her husband, a local of the barangay, and her daughter, Aliyah. She asked us to visit her and stay there for a night or two. But the visit was extended to three nights and four days. We were permitted to experience some of the resorts amenities FREE OF CHARGE.


Our tour guide, first brought us to the zip lining area then to this white chapel on top of the hill. (I'll upload the other, like zip lining, photos on the continuation of this blog:)) It is facing the sunrise. The air conditioned chapel is an ideal place to pray because of its solemn ambiance. When you're on the place, you can feel, as if you are very close to God.

I captured this photo when we reached the White chapel. Down there are the theater and the resorts mini port.



Cagraray Eco-Energy Park - An open Theater by the sea: This one really catches my attention. The scenic view of the sea was breath taking. No wonder, Kris Aquino fall in love with this spot.






Man-made Cave at Cagraray Eco- Energy Park




Before we enter the poolside, a man-made hanging bridge was waiting for us. And one of my friends, who worked at Misibis, was proud that he was one of the creators of the bridge. It added the thrill.





Swimming pool inside the Eco-Energy park: The local government of Bacacay already owned the park. Another source of income for the tiny town.

And those are rest rooms.. ---------->

Jaehan: Our new Angel

I had been very busy for a long time and almost forgot that I have this blog. Anyway, thanks to Ry for reminding me. I have a lot things to share!






Fifteen days ago, when our family was blessed with a new angel. He was named "Jaehan Erish". My eighteen year-old sister, Irish Joy, gave birth to him last December 12, 2012 (12-12-12). She told me, she was not expecting that the baby would come out that day because her doctor said she might give birth on 20th of December.

Around six in the morning that day, she washed their laundry since Jake, his husband, was out for his work. Past eight, she went to the market to buy some vegetables for lunch. Exactly, 12:24 pm, she felt the water flowing down her legs. She was alarmed, and called Mama Edith, her 'byanan'. That's the sign! They brought her to a lying-in at the Centro. Then, at around 5:00 in the afternoon, Jaehan came out.

Though we didn't expect my sister's pregnancy and wedding, the moment she gave birth to a healthy baby boy changed our lives before this year ends. Now, the grateful feeling of having a new angel inside our home never vanished. We love you baby Jaehan.

MY New Blog!


Hi all! I’ve been thinking about this for several times.

I already had a blog entitled BeautyFull Me and it is all about, well as what the title itself says, beauty. I made it for the sake of passing my Search Engine Optimization (SEO) training last May and yes, though I am not really that type who loves to make myself prettier in front of many people, I continued writing posts for that blog. But, hey, I realized, what's the use of making a blog if what I am posting are not really in line with my passion.

Now finally, I came up to a decision and make another blog, (thanks to Ate Mitch and +Ryan Balasulla  for their encouragement J lol..). I created a new blog that will trully show the real me.. With this blog, I can now share and tell all of my “LAMIERDA” moments with my “antique” and “new” friends, forever and “syota (means short time)” friends, as well as with my cousins, colleagues and siblings.

Isn't really obvious, GOING OUT with the lovable people around me IS MY PASSION.

I would be grateful if you too can feel the emotions I had in my journeys.. welcome to my site.. Welcome to Lala’s Lamierda world.
