El Niño Phenomenon

Last year my country Philippines was hit by typhoons that caused floods in some areas of Luzon. Many families lost their homes. Many lost their loved ones.

And now, it was totally the opposite of what happened last year. The Philippines is experiencing now the El Niño phenomenon.

What is El Niño Phenomenon?

El Niño- Spanish for " The Christ Child" - was originally used by fishermen to refer the Pacific ocean warm currents near the coast of Peru and Ecuador that appeared periodically around Christmas time and lasted for many months.

At the presents times we use same name as large scale of warming of surface water in the Pacific Ocean every 3-6 years, which usually last for 9-12 months, but may continue for up to 18 months, dramatically affects the weather worldwide.

Here are some photos of the effects of El Niño phenomenon.

Bohol Adventure

Of all the places I've been visited in the Philippines. Bohol is the best for me.

I've spent one month vacation in Bohol with my boyfriend and his family.

I love the beaches in Bohol. Especially the beaches in Panglao Island. You can see the fine and white beach in Panglao Island. You can really relax and unwind.

I went to visit the worlds known beauty spot in Bohol which is the Chocolate Hills. It was a great experienced to be there. I can not believe that I was there having pictures with the lovely hills as our background.

Then I went to have an unforgettable experience in Danao with there Suislide. I was really scared at that time but it was so great. That I wanted to do it again.

I want to come back again in Bohol. Not just for a vacation. But I want to stay and live there forever!

Do I looked scared?
