GAAAH, I’ve only managed to post one entry for May and it irks the hell out of me. May was the busiest month for me so far, and not just because of my birthday, but also because of the several events and summer outings I had to setup and attend. I also hosted our company’s summer outing which is why work has been hectic as hell. Anyway, I know it’s the rainy season but I would love to share one more destination you may be able to squeeze in before summer ends!

I recently saw a meme on Facebook saying most people probably don’t have vacation leaves anymore because of all the beach trips they’ve had throughout summer, lol. Hopefully, you guys still have some left for my next destination is not to be missed! I took this trip last year and sorely forgot about posting it because I was too busy with my new relationship, haha! Disclaimer : this set contains more awkward photos of myself than the place we stayed in. Just putting it out there, in case you came here expecting mostly photos of the place, hehe. 

Magalawa is an island lying 6 km northwest of Poblacion. Surrounding the island is the China Sea. Beyond the north is the San Salvador Island of Masinloc and on the east is Sitio Luan, Lipay. It is known for beautiful beaches. Magalawa is 56 hectares in area. Magalawa Island is now one of the newest tourist destinations in Zambales. An eco-tourism resort, Magalawa Island Armada Resort, a privately owned resort, has been developed since 2009 and now continually on its rise with its back to basic and nature trip settings. Just recently, to be able to provide and generate livelihood to the island community, management of the Armada Resort have come up with packages which include meals, snorkeling, rafting, boat riding, mangrove trekking. These help the community in providing livelihood and help generate income for its barangay and municipality. (via)
