Missing Home

I grew up going to this place. It used to be just another stretch of beach where anybody can go swim for free. Located about an hour from the town proper of Virac, Catanduanes, Puraran Beach is known for it's waves. Surfers from all over the world visits the island and experience big waves when it's surfing season along with the beautiful and less crowded beach, not to mention the great food! There are also public transportation that travels to Puraran from Virac terminal or hiring a tricycle will do too. 

Love the clear water!

My family loves to cook so whenever I get to visit they make all my favorite food! I love the fact that I can get fresh food everyday and devour it to my stomach's content. We have fruit bearing trees and vegetables in our backyard and we don't even have to buy them most of the time! Between the food in Manila and in the province, I will still choose the latter.

Afternoon delights

Before Ipad, Nintendo DS, Xbox, PS 3 was invented, this is what we used to play.

A match between Papa and Ate :)

I also miss Catandungan Festival held every October showcasing every municipalities' uniqueness and talent through dances. Our island came a long way from what I used to remember it. Today, it continues to strive and progress for the betterment of Catandungenos.

Simple living, great food, spending time with family and gorgeous beaches. No matter how long I've been living abroad, I will always find time to come home.




Until next time. Cheers!
