Owning Property Overseas

Are you dreaming of owning a piece of land overseas? Yes, like a tropical paradise of your own or a private island which you could customize yourself... owning your own piece of property overseas could be very expensive. But if you have extra money, it would prove to be a very good investment for you.

At Experience International, you would realize this dream of yours to come true. They offer the best locations in which you can find overseas properties online. It is the best website for you to look at, especially if you are a picky customer who wants the best properties around.

Someday, I will buy a nice property for me and my family, for us to go on vacations... Until then, I could only dream about it...

Going to Rebucas at Nabunturan Compostela

During hot humid days, people tend to think of cooling off to the beach or take a swim at a swimming resort. That's just what me and my friends did. We all went to Nabunturan, Compostela Valley. It is 1 hour and 30 minutes drive from Davao City. Nabunturan is known for its hot spring called Toyuzu, I will make another post for that in the days to come. But unknown to a lot of people, there is a swimming resort tucked away in the forests of Nabunturan. Rebucas, is a swimming resort, which has flowing water coming from the water falls.

Going there is quite challenging. Me and my friends went there and rode a tricycle. It is a motorized vehicle that can carry up to 6 passengers. The road going there is a bit rocky and filed with lime stone...

As a result, the tricycle cannot go up because of the steep road, they eventually pushed it...

When the pushing obviously didn't work, we all hiked...


Hiking proved to most enjoyable for me because I got to see a lot of plants and lime stones there

It is more convenient to go there using a 4 wheeled vehicle, or a single motorcycle. Going by tricycle is really not advised...:)

Finally we arrived at the site...


The Kiddy Pool is so inviting...

The resort is not yet well developed. The owners are slowly getting funds to develop the place. It used to be a privately owned resort for the family use only, but they have decided to open it to the public...

The resort has little cottages, and a conference like cottage. But there are no rooms for overnight yet. The owners are slowly making plans for further development of the place.

Going to the adult pool.


The pool is very cold. The water came from the falls so it is so cool and it is flowing so it is safe and clean. The maintenance is outstanding. The place is squeaky clean.


Me at the pool...

The only complaint I have of the place is there are a lot of mosquitoes... You have to bring a repellent lotion to solve this... Other than that, I enjoyed my stay there. We have more photos, I will post them later...

Page Rank...

Yes I know this is a bit silly... But I just feel happy that I decided to post it here. Yes, my blog Travel Savvy Chic, already has 0 page rank... :) I know, you guys are laughing. But it is significant. It always starts with something, and zero is better than no page rank... :) I will just continue posting great travel places here... Hope you guys stay stucked...

Amanpulo, A Luxury Island Resort...

Amanpulo, a place you would want to go to if you want serenity, peace and a beautiful beach island getaway... Amanpulo is located on the private island of Pamalican, in the Cuyo group, about 360km south-west of Manila. Seven square kilometres of reef surround the island.



Many celebrities and high society people have spent their vacations there in the beautiful island.

The island is secluded, being private, and offers a variety of sea, sand and tropical island-retreat–pleasures, in exclusive comfort and in traditionally styled accommodation. Amanpulo or, ‘peaceful island’, honors its island host, respecting the natural elements with a profoundly ‘South Seas’ interpretation. The 40 Beach, Hillside and Treetop Casitas are modeled on authentic bahay kubo dwellings, each with its own golf cart for island exploration.

The island is specially good for romantic escapades, where you could spend time together alone, and marvel at the beauty of the white sand, clear blue waters and almost heaven like atmosphere. You can do tons of activities there like for those who seek adventure, there is always the water sports activities, diving, snorkeling and island hopping. The resort has a lot of amenities like a 30 m swimming pool, high tech air conditioned gym, tennis courts and a lot more.

My life now...

I am currently going through assessing my life's accomplishments. What have I done right and what I have done wrong? Have I helped people who are in need? Or just simply ignored them. I have truned 29 last June, and as I am approaching the age 30, I keep on asking myself, What is my purpose in this life?

I know I haven't done much. I made a lot of mistakes and learned from it along the way. I have renewed my relationship with the lord Jesus Christ. I try to pray and depend my life on him. I have a beautiful child that is a blessing to me. Makes me want to live my life more. I am not perfect, and I still make mistakes everyday. But I want to try and make my life more meaningful. Be helpful to others, not to be angry all the time, stop blaming others, remove all the hate in my heart and love the lord more than ever.

Hello Guys...

Been busy at work, haven't found time to post anything until now. My stepdad just arrived from the states. So we're probably going out on a vacation. Will keep you updated. Ciao!...
