Where My Heart Belongs...Dumaguete

I have been hearing this story from my sister several times and i'm sure that this story of hers can be helpful in my blog. So the story goes like this...


"It’s been almost two years since I last visited Dumaguete—and yet I’ve never stopped wanting to go back. I left my heart in that city. The good memories I have with college friends in Silliman were something worth re-living and the beauty of that place lingers in my mind ever so often. 

The community that Dumaguete provides is no like any other. I have yet to find a place in the country that could match the warmth and bliss that is, in my opinion, only found in places like Dumaguete. It has so many breath-taking and picturesque places, plus, the people are so friendly it would not take so long to feel at home there. It is a melting pot of different races and cultures, that’s why it’s so lovely to see the people live in harmony.

Silliman University would probably be the city’s top attraction. You would want to adapt the lifestyle of any Sillimaninan—laid back and easy going. Shorts and flip-flops are the norm and the stress that the metropolis is abundant with is non-existent in that place. It’s a perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of life. From sun-set walks at the Boulevard, to enjoying hearty conversations in first-class coffee shops, Dumaguete is overflowing with reasons why you should come and spend a week or two enjoying life there."
