Life of fashion, culture and adventure

In our last getaway, it was trekking to Mt. Taal and we were astounded with what our country can offer foreign and local tourists. Which somehow made us think of how was Philippines years ago when we were not so free to travel & take vacations within our own country. So, we decided to refresh our knowledge in history and took chances for a day tour at Corregidor, where huge portion of our history happened. It was one Monday morning of Dec. 12, 2011. We woke up early and went straight to Sun Cruises office to try our luck as chance passengers/participants for their day tour in the Island of Corregidor. Luckily, chances granted for all six (6) of us. Although, we only got the sun deck, non-air seats, but it was a refreshing ride nonetheless. So, we paid for Php 2,064.00 each, boarded the ferry and got excited for another good times with friends in a not so familiar territory. It took almost two hours for us to arrive at the island. As we stepped in and as we saw its front view,...

The boat, Mt. Taal and our excitement! Tagaytay has been one of the tourist destinations in the Philippines. We were able to visit the place last August (29th 2011) and have quite enjoyed the view and the fresh air. But, we wanted to really experience the beauty and prowess of Mt. Taal hands-on. Thus, last December 10, 2011, a Saturday, we put Taal Trek as our first itinerary for a weekend adventure! Eva, Adan, Ada, Labsy & Em-em at the b oat launch point We (Eva, Adan, Ada, Em2, Labsy & Me) flew from Davao on the last flight to Manila (9:50PM) on December 9. We weren't able to grab enough dinner before we went to the airport, so when we arrived in Manila, we stopped by the nearest McDonalds (just right in front of Terminal 3) and took a semi-snack/dinner. Just arrived at the peak When we reached our temporary home in Manila, we slept the night away and prepared ourselves for the Taal Trek the next morning. Morning came and we geared up early and took an F...

Labsy & me @ Isla Reta 2 Last November 26, 2011, we initially planned to visit Pearl Farm , but the turn of events made us change it to an island hopping escapade in Talikud Island, Samal, Davao del Norte. It wasn't our (me & Labsy) first time, but we never really get tired or bored w/ the beauty of the beach & everything it offers... Jun & Labsy @ Kaputian Beach So morning of that Saturday, we woke up early enough to catch the 7:30AM trip bound for Kaputian, Samal. Well, the bus actually arrived past 8:00am which made us stood at the sidewalk in front of Magsaysay Park waiting for quite awhile. Then eventually, the bus arrived and we joined the pushings of the crowd just to get inside and grab a seat. Luckily, we were able to secure seats for everyone and in about 3-4 minutes, the bus took off with all seats taken plus about 3-4 people standing and later some more picked-up along the way.
