RE: Kim's Quest #40: Tales of Siquijor (Isla del Fuego) - Part I

The place is really beautiful, especially the beach! I'll add this to my bucket list (number 1 is still Batanes haha) but dammnnn I love how it's not crowded too. Did you try putting your feet in the spring? I think I'll get tickled if I do 😂 Also I would buy some souvenirs there especially the voodoo dolls. I'm not planning to use it hahaha but they look so cute!!!

(Late comment kay nalimtan 😂)

Yes! Batanes is still the first! You plan. Let's have a Hive outing there. Let's invite anyone who wants to go. Haha

Okay. Story time. When we went to Balinsasayao Twin Lake in Negros Oriental, just before I wanted to plunge myself into the deep lake, I was told of a story that one man caught a rare disease from a bacteria that's endemic to a certain lake. It's not Lake Balinsasayao, but it triggered a jerk reaction which prevented me from diving the lake. I'm paranoid.

Now, as the fishes in the pool? I didn't dip a single toe. I just took a lot of photos. Why? Because I heard of the story about someone who became HIV positive because of a fish spa. It's not in that Balete tree, but I always avoid any fish spa. I never even tried to have a fish spa in Calawag Mountain Resort in Antique. That's how paranoid I am. I know that chances are slim, but a 0.0001% chance is still much higher than no chance at all.

End of chikka. 😂

Gusto nako ako lang isa sa Batanes para soul searching haha charot! Peaceful man gud sya na place, so I don't think angay ang party2 na Hive meetup hahah. We can do somewhere at the beach or hiking instead! :D

Wow, you've heard too many stories that just discouraged you forever lol why do people even say that. Yeah, it's highly unlikely but I understand why you got paranoid. Even I would be!

Batanes is fair enough. It's really for the soul.
