Hi, my name is Reynan and I am the author of this blog. In this article I will share to you my life experiences in my journey through the Power of Nature, Leisures of Life and entering into the Peace of Mind through the Pilgrimage of Garin Farm Inland Resort. "but first let me take a selfie" -- here is our selfie picture before we start walking.

this was our selfie picture before we start our journey in the power of nature-Farm

April 28, 2014, It was my third time visiting this resort because I have noting to do at home. It was so hot because it's summer and it is best going to the beach; but I decided to go to Garin Farm. I invited my girlfriend with me and she invited her cousin. So we arrived at Garin Farm and start taking pictures also selfies of ourselves. 

As we journey into the power of nature-in the Farm. We found many breed animals like different kinds of chicken, pigeons, birds and plants such as herbs and spices to name a few. As we continue our walk and we also knew a lot of information regarding how plants grow and its benefit. --- we came to a point where we saw the bahay kubo also called Nipa Hut-a bahay kubo or a nipa hut is a native filipino house, along with the bahay kubo are plants that can be heard on the famous filipino song Bahay Kubo--here are the following pants, Jicama, eggplant, winged beans, peanut, long beans, hyacinth beans, lima beans, ash ground, sponge ground, bottle ground, squash, radish, mustard, onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger and a lot of sesame plants. To show you what is a bahay kubo, here is a picture I took with my camera.

  

After walking and knowing all about animals and plants in the farm, next in Garin Farm is to enjoy with the pleasures of life-the leisure part. Now what will you find in that part will take you to the second part of the chapter in your stay in Garin Farm.

The Swimming Pool Area

The swimming pool area is located along the hillside of the resort, guests swimming in this pool will give you breathtaking experience and a wonderful view of the China Sea in the horizon. It has a kiddie and an adult pool so that both young and mature people can enjoy the swimming experience in Garin Farm. Cottages are design uniquely with cave-like structures to adapt the uniqueness of the resort.

The Lagoon

The lagoon is where you will have to most and best experiences in the resort. Located and man-made along the hilltop with a wide of 5,000 sq.m. The lagoon can give you a great ride of kayak and boating, with fishes you are able to o fishing and cook it for dinner, try a horseback ride on the islet. One thing I like most in Garin Farm, is that eveytime you will go back there is always something new to try. Like their new Water Ball where you're going to step inside a huge sphere of ball and have fun rolling and rolling inside it.

There ore more things Garin Farm can offer you than just a lagoon experience, they also have a 300meter Zip Line for you to better view the hilltop from the air, also will feel you like flying.

After enjoying your life with such pleasures at the leisure part. The next is the Pilgrimage part where you will go up and up the stairs with 456 steps. This Pilgrimage will complete your life in Garin Farm and will make you stay become the best stay and make your experience the best experience ever in your travel.






The Pilgrimage will offer you a journey from creation to ascension of Christ.  On completing with 456 steps towards the cross a beautiful panoramic view of nature can be seen from the above. The nature and all of God's creation-Even though It was a 456 step and it was very tiring "for me" at the end you will surely feel how glad you are to make into the top.

Here is some of our pictures in Garin Farm Inland Resort it is my pleasure to tell you of our experiences from the past until now in Garin Farm Inland Resot. Hope you enjoy.

September 13, 2013, Firday. They said Friday the 13 is a bad day and you need to keep watch of yourself every time you are going to do something. But for me it's all false. Why? because in this day all of our exams are suspended and transferred to Monday next week. It's my lucky day.

It was afternoon in the same day around 6 o clock. I found out that I have no load anymore. I went to Robinson's Mall Iloilo to buy some load. Along the way, I want to drink some cold delicious Milk Tea just near the store where I purchased my load.

I bought this Blue Berry Milk Tea by BubbaTeaLicious. It cost me only for 70Php (Philippine Pesos) for one large size Milk Tea. Although the store has many costumers and I still need to fall line, i never doubted to fall in line.

Blue Berry milk tea is also available in Small, Medium, and Large. 

Small = 50Php (Pesos), Medium = 60Php (Pesos), and Large = 50Php (Pesos).

I went home and enjoyed my Blue Berry Milk tea, while i was writing this post.

Magical : Magic Island Resort at Guimaras

The Magic Island Resort Guimaras 
located at Sitio Dungcaan, Brgy. Lucmayan, Nueva Valencia, Guimaras

What's my first impression of Magic Island Resort Guimars?. My first impression is that, the island is so good, even though it's far but it's worth to go. You'll have to ride a small boat and pass through the mangroves and into the island. It was a hell of an adventure. I like Magic Island Resort, it's so magical. It's a place where I want to go back to have a relax mode; and you'll be truly be relaxed. 

It was Wednesday morning 8.29.2013, I woke up late in the and open my facebook account.
Upon a successful log-in, a friend posted on one of my joined group that he'll go to Guimaras Magic Island Resort to be specific. It's been a while that i haven't visited Guimaras, so I decided to join.
.

We first took a Pump-boat ride going to Jordan Guimaras that will cost you 14 pesos. After that we took a ride by jeepney to Brgy. Lucmayan, Nueva Valencia, Guimaras, your jeepney ride will only cost yo 30 pesos. The travel may take a while, but I am sure we enjoy every moment of it. 

You can also go directly to Magic Island Resort  by hiring a Pump-boat. It depends to the boat owner how much will it cost you. But it all depends on how you contract the owner or its Captain.

We went to Guimaras in a group composed of four people. Three photographers and one model.

Before going to the Island, we still need to take a ride at a Flat Boat. During our ride, we are able to witness how mother earth formed nature, the place is like a swamp but at the end of it you will witness the magical transformation of the said place.

Welcome to Magic Island Resort Guimaras

Wow it's magic. Yes! this is the end of the swampy river where you gonna have to take a ride from a flat boat and experience the nature and its beauty. The sea water from the this island is clear, magical things do happen when the night falls. 

During low tide you will witness how the water disappear leaving only the sand, stones, and corals. Sometimes fishes are trapped and you are able get it, cook it, and enjoy it. Magic Island resort is one of the place I really want to go back, and experience more magical things to happen during my stay is the island. You will enjoy the place because of its quietness and it's peaceful hearing no other sound but the sound of the sea water. 

Here are some more photos and views from the island.
