Most people spend their money on the latest gadgets, expensive clothes, bags, shoes etc. But I get my fix on travelling. When I become rich, I shall conquer the world one continent at a time. But since I don't have the moolah yet, I'm starting in our own beautiful country. The Philippines has 1,707 islands waiting to be explored and discovered. It's beyond the usual. Why not experience it? Don't be a foreigner in our own land. I've crossed out some places in my bucketlist. Here are some snapshots of my favorites (so far).
MALAPASCUA 2005
When Daut and I were so called berks. I know, we look so baduy! HAHA. This was an "awhhhhh moment" for us. Going up the lighthouse was the highlight of our trip then.
BORACAY 2005
When we were too shy to party in our bikini. We thought we looked so COOL with our shorts! HAHA.
CAMOTES ISLAND, CEBU 2007
Because my friend's dad was the mayor. VIP treatment, yewww! Camotes has beautiful beaches and many spectacular sites.
BANTAYAN ISLAND, CEBU 2007
Since I graduated high school
, it became a tradition for my friends and I to spend Holy Week in Bantayan every year. Blue skies, warm sunshine, white sands, cool water..aaaah I love the island life!
SAGADA 2008
I was absolutely enchanted by the charm of Sagada when we went there. The peace and quiet, the friendliness of locals, the glorious rice terraces, the cold breeze, the amazing hanging coffins, the refreshing waterfalls, the adventure of trekking and caving got me!
BAGUIO 2008
Afternoon delight in the city of pines. Enroute Sagada-Manila.
CORREGIDOR 2009
Funny enough, I never knew much about Corregidor till we took the tour. I greatly appreciated the way the structures were preserved, in all it's raw beauty.
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY 2009
Whitewater rafting with my DDG's. Yup, that's me! Always accident prone. OOPPS!
CAMIGUIN ISLAND 2009
Aaaahhhh a taste of Tahiti :)
ILIGAN CITY 2009
L-R Ciarra, Ina, Molly, Loura, Kymoy, Le, Tantoy, Nivien. Ma Cristina falls behind us! WOW! The current of the great twin falls was very strong.
ANAWANGIN COVE 2009
Went camping because we turned 4 years old. Secluded beach surrounded by pine trees, volcanic greyish-white sand from Pinatubo's lahar. No electricity, no resorts, no establishments, no potable water. Just us and the sea :)
SUBIC 2009
Surely we were able to quench our thirst for adrenaline rush in the Treetop Adventure. And I was like a kid with a new toy in the Ocean Adventure. Happiness up to the roof!!!!
HUNDRED ISLANDS 2010
Couldn't pick one island? Daut took me to hundred islands for my 24th birthday. Wooooot! I was pretty amazed to actually be there coz I've only seen them in postcards and learned about it through our elementary textbooks.
BOHOL 2010
All in one day: Danao Adventure, Chocolate Hills, Manmade Forest, Loboc Floating Restaurant, Baclayon Church, Tarsiers, Pythons. With the added bonus of Panglao troplical villas overnight. Thanks for tagging me along Zsa, Eugene and Brit. Til your next vacation!
VIGAN 2010
Calle Crisologo is perhaps the best place in Vigan. The look and feel from the Spanish colonial period is simply amazing!
PAGUDPUD 2010
Surf's up in Kapuluan Beach Resort! My first wave, yewww! I'm a surfer wannabe.
BANGUI WINDMILLS 2010
The windmills are simply AWESOME! We couldn't help but jump for joy! These giant electric fans are used to generate electricity in the province and at the same time serve as a major tourist spot in Ilocos Norte. I voted for Bong Bong Marcos because of this! Haha.
PAOAY CHURCH 2010
Part of the UNESCO World Heritage List. This uniquely beautiful church stands wowing people with its majestic structure of oriental, gothic and baroque influence.
ANILAO, BATANGAS 2010
♫♪Magdiving sa Anilao.... Met the Philippine Surfing Team. Really cool, down to earth people.
CORON, PALAWAN 2010
Trust me, it's paradise. Beautiful. Amazing. Awesome. Stunning. All those adjectives and more! :))) Here's to our fifth, dawg!
CALAUIT, PALAWAN 2010
Who would have thought we have giraffes, zebras and other African animals in the Philippines? HANDS DOWN TO PALAWAN!!!!
DONSOL, SORSOGON 2011
Get high with the Butanding! We did!
LEGAZPI CITY 2011
What better way to experience Mayon than an ATV ride towards the lava formation. View was MAJESTIC!
SUMILON ISLAND, CEBU 2011
This is the life! Hammock hanging in our own lil paradise. Celebrating Lai's birthday/ 2nd year anniversary as a nurse in CCMC.
See how beautiful our country is? Like a halo halo mixture of different flavors that makes up a greater whole. If I could just write BATANES in my travel resume, I will feel COMPLETE and ready to travel the world. As for now, I'll daydream and hopefully it will turn into an actual trip one day.
