WELCOME TO CHATEAU DU MER BEACH RESORT

If this is your first time in my site, welcome! Chateau Du Mer is a beach house and a Conference Hall. The beach house could now accommodate 10 guests, six in the main floor and four in the first floor( air conditioned room). In addition, you can now reserve your vacation dates ahead and pay the rental fees via PayPal. I hope to see you soon in Marinduque- Home of the Morions and Heart of the Philippines.

The Different Meanings of the Word- Chongo

In Puerto Rico "chongo" has multiple meanings. It can refer to a weak horse, a haul of low-quality bananas, or a blunt knife. In Argentine slang, "chongo" describes a casual romantic partner. In the Philippines, people will call you a chongo in a joking manner. It meant you are a monkey! I have been called a chongo during my younger years when I misbehave and act like an idiot.


Meanwhile, here's a latest posting from CNN, I love sharing with you!

If you’re constantly tired, that could be a sign of an underlying health condition such as anemia, chronic fatigue syndrome or a rare blood disorder.

 

Your job could be making things worse. Sedentary work has been linked to a 37% higher risk of insomnia-like symptoms.

 

• Body clock: Are you wide awake at night but tired in the morning? Your circadian rhythm — the cycle that regulates sleep, hormone release and temperature — might be out of whack. Experts offer advice on getting things back in sync.

 

• Worry and anxiety: Rising prices. Political turmoil. Wars in Gaza and Ukraine. Change and uncertainty breed stress, which of course can disrupt sleep. Don’t let the world’s problems ruin your rest.

 

• Digital detox: Some people have developed an unhealthy obsession with their sleep trackers. Here’s how to tell if you have a problem — and this is why it’s not a good idea to use your phone as an alarm clock. Plus, a trend called “sleepmaxxing” gets mixed reviews.

 

• Booze before bed? The tradition of enjoying a drink to promote better rest — known as a nightcap — dates to the early 18th century. Alcohol might seem like a helpful sleep aid, but it actually disrupts your body’s natural sleep cycles.


Lastly, Did you Know that.....

The largest cave in the Philippines is the *Calbiga Cave or Langun-Gobingob Caves*, located in western Samar. This massive cave system spans over 2,968 hectares, making it not only the largest in the Philippines but also the second-largest in Asia and the third-largest karst formation in the world.¹ ²
The Langun-Gobingob Cave system has multiple entrances, with the Gobingob entrance being the oldest and largest part of the cave. Its main chamber is enormous, measuring 340 by 140 meters at its widest points. The cave is also home to unique formations, including giant chandeliers and a "Football Field" with a blind fish species found only in Samar's caves.

Exploring the Langun-Gobingob Cave system requires preparation and caution, as it involves navigating through narrow passages, climbing, and crawling. Visitors are advised to wear protective gear and follow guided tours to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
