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,...

Wedding Pics Four years ago, on January 25, 2007, Labsy and I finally vowed to a commitment to love each other and be that special person to one another as a husband and wife.

He knew we wouldn't be together on that special day, he was in Dubai then. Earlier, before he left for Dubai, I had no idea he requested a group of kids playing Rondalla, where his nieces Dianne, Dara and Dana are members. Thanks to our Kuyas (Dario and Danny) who made the arrangement for Labsy. It was the only anniversary where I worked in the office...

Labsy's 33rd birthday (Jan 23) was a blast! Food trip was one of a kind and we had a great time spending it in the Underground River and Sheridan Beach Resort and Spa in Sabang, Palawan. But the adventure just kicked off and will continue to the elusive, worth taking El Nido. Heading to Big Lagoon After having that "to die for" and "breath taking" dinner in Sheridan Resort ( http://donandji.blogspot.com/2011/03/manila-puerto-nido-02-birthday-prince.html ), we went back to the van and started the road trip to El Nido. The place we almost given up going to, due to time constraints, and maybe finances too. Leaving Big Lagoon Most of the roads were rough and dark, you wouldn't want to get the wheels yourself. :). But since all four of us was tired from the day's happenings, we were quietly having a good night sleep, despite the humps, bumps and the cold air inside the van. We reached El Nido around 5:30 AM. But before reaching town, we stopped ...
