SAGADA: Pangabuan River

The name of this river really gives me headache. I can't remember kasi if it is pangal-an pangal-ab hehehe. Even though the name of this river is hard to remember but once you see it, it will go all along down on your brain cells and will remain there forever.

Sagada Bonfire

It was in our plan to join the bonfire in Sagada but unfortunately all tickets was sold out. I thought there's no way for us to be in that event but thanks to ishie and some of our good fellows there in Sagada we made it. Actually nag gate crash kami hehhe but it's legal. We were with kuya jeff ishie's friend tinulungan nya kami para makapuslit sa loob hehehe.

At first I thought it would be just an ordinary bonfire but i was wrong...

They had cultural dance in which chosen dancers or whatever u call them... they dance wearing only bahag (actually that's the most exciting part of the bonfire hehehe oopppsss i'm being naughty)

I actually don't know the reason why they held such event every year but what I've heard through the grapevine it is some sort of tradition there. The event was being serenade with traditional music and cultural dance and of course the food and drinks. The entrance cost 250 per head, reservation can be settled at the saggas office. they also have mini bar which sells liquors like red horse and beer... (akala ko bugnay wine, rice wine ang makikita ko dun heheheh)

parang pang twilight ang setting ng place hehehe

ang daming mr. right may mr. left pa... san ka pa

Mt. Ampacao

test your strength and mind
tiring but worth it!
nasubok talaga ang endurance ko dito
and my ability to withstand hardship
and to sustain a prolonged walkathon
that moment
I was really at the verge of giving up
pero nangibabaw sakin ung nachachallenge ako
i don't want to go home without reaching the top of mt. ampacao
i keep on telling myself "nagawa nga ng mga nauna sakin who am I to give up?"
napagod, nadulas, kinabahan, natakot but I survived
i reached the top
at bumungad sakin ang isang kahanga hangang landscape ng Diyos.
for me yun ang pinaka magandang form of art na di magagawa ninoman
no words could explain how much happiness and fulfillment
i fl. Feeling ko marami akong na overcome at kaya pang ma overcome.
Life is really a daring adventure..
so we must challenge ourself
to go through and overcome all the
obstacles that comes our way..
BE TOUGH AND BE POSITIVE!!

Although were all tired and too exhausted but after reaching the top.... grabeh! it's all worth it. Thanks to our funny and very accommodating guide kuya aapzz (sorry i don't know the spelling). 

I think this trek was so far the best trek i ever had. It really test my strength and endurance up to where my body can go far.

A few days from now I'll be back to Sagada again for the second time around. This time I'll try to level up my adventures. My friends and I will try rock climbing and other falls there. I'm so excited if only I can pull the time I will. But of course I will celebrate Christmas first with my family. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! BE SAFE!

Food trip @ Banchetto

Want some mouth watering food?? This is the place to be. Try to visit techno hub somewhere along commonwealth avenue.
Don't know how to explain my feelings when i got there basta na overwhelmed  ako sa dami ng food na pagpipilian. I want to taste everything that in front of me. at the end... i ended up with BBQ and taclings wahahaha...

I remember one of my friends after tasting the beef kebab.... well she's not fond of eating Persian food

but me?.... i love kebab ^_____^

This dinuguan i enjoyed eating this... di ko maalala kung san to eh.. i think kanin club ata...

Overnight in Pansol Laguna

I've been in and out in the town of laguna for quite sometime now. I thought it's just a simple and boring town coz i used to visit my relatives their and i can't do nothing but to stay in their house because I've got nowhere to go...
Just this November I've got the chance to explore other part of Laguna. We went to Pansol and to my surprised that place has a lot of private resorts to offer... TAKE NOTE: SWIMMING POOL WITH KINDA WARM WATER oh di ba tutchal!!.. You can rent the whole resort and do whatever you want to...
we rented kuya raswel villa agoncillo resort i think that's the most cheapest private resort there it only cost us 4 thousand pesos overnight (except for holiday and peak seasons). We enjoyed 1 kiddie pool, 1 adult pool, 3 rooms (2 air-conditioned and 1 ordinary room), billiards, videoke, and you can also cook there.
RATES:
WEEKDAYS:
DAYTIME (7AM - 5PM) = P4000
OVERNIGHT STAY (6PM - 6AM) = P5000
WEEKENDS:
DAYTIME (7AM - 5PM) = P5000
OVERNIGHT (6PM - 6AM) = P6000

ISLAND HOPPING AT ZAMBALES

After a super duper stressful months, its time to treat myself.. it's Zambales time. Together with my Friends we will conquer Zambales..

FIRST STOP: CAPONES ISLAND

This is one of the main attraction in Pundaquit Zambales. Aside from Pose and taking pictures dare to swim if you want just make sure that the weather is fine so that the waves that will embrace you will not take you somewhere.. hahaha.. kidding aside.. you can visit the lighthouse but do not expect that you're gonna be walking in a usual steps... be ready for an adventure while reaching the top of the lighthouse..

SECOND STOP: CAMARA ISLAND

well it's getting hot already, the sun rays was not friendly anymore but still go lang... 

As we get closer to the island I can't help but to open my mouth in so much amazement. I'm so speechless.. how can anyone speak if in front of you is a picturesque of a truly perfect God creation. With it's clear water, white but a bit rocky sand, an open view of the ocean with its two tough and mighty big rocks.. kung baga sa guy... soo macho and very manly... hahaha just kidding.. ay naku... visit camara and see it for your self.. you'll be astonish and charm by its beauty

THIRD STOP: ANAWANGIN COVE

Probably when you heard the place Zambales the first thing that comes on your mind will be Anawangin. This island is perfect for those campers and wants an overnight stay just don't forget to brig tent and other equipments. With it's Pine trees surrounds the whole island.. akala ko nasa Baguio ako...

For Island hopping conquering 3 island (hahaha) it cost us P350 per head but its sulit nman the bangkero will keep you safe and they will not push through the island trip if it's not safe.. (well, that's depends on the weather)

Speaking of weather, heaven blessed our first step on that island.. dueing our stay umulan and we just rented a table because we dont have any plan of staying there for overnight... OMG so we stole the empty garbage bag to cover our things... wahahahaa... good thing we did not bring a lot of things...

It's getting late we need to go back to the resort where we stay... sad but we need to leave

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE

The following morning after eating our breakfast... take note we just ate... no time for bath... we're all excited to go to Potipot Island...

On the Van we kept on asking manong driver ( I forgot his name) about Potipot Island, we can't wait to see the island eh... so from Iba Zambales we need to go to Dawal Resort and From there we will transfer to a boat which will take us to Potipot Island.

This Island is... I could say that it looks like bora because of its white fine sand... but the good thing about Potipot Island... It's not over commercialized not over populated and the water is so calm and clear that you wont be afraid to swim... You won't regret visiting this place and you will fall in love with this place just like what happened to me and to my friends.. the place is indeed magnificent and perfect for honeymooners and overnight stays... haizt... sana next na balik ko dun may special someone na ako.. hahaha

I really enjoyed this swimming trip of ours unlike before... di kasi ako marunong lumangoy... but i know how swim now... thanks to t. Izel.. she's truly a great teacher in a short span of time naturuan nya akong lumangoy at tinanggal nya takot ko sa water... well so much for this gala... sad but its time to go back to Manila... I actually I hate going back to Manila coz it means going back to work and paper works which I hate the most... Hopefully, I will have the chance to visit Cebu, Bohol and Batanes in the following year...
