The Beachgirl goes Trekking.

A wonderful experience it was spending my weekend with my sister Geezel and family friend, Kuya Mac. :) Last week, I went to Laguna to accompany my sister getting the keys for our new house in Sta. Rosa and then we also dropped by at our cousin's place, had dinner and little talks. It was already dark when we drive to Los Banos. 

The original plan is to go to Enchanted Kingdom but the weather did not agree. I arrived in Balibago at around 11am and the rain starts to pour. In that very moment, my EK excitement disappear. So change of plans. The next day, Sunday, Mr. Sunshine is so up and we decided to go to Ambon-Ambon Falls, in the heart of Pangil, Laguna. It was like 2 hours drive from Los Banos. We ride a bus, a jeepney to Siniloan and a tricycle to Panguil River Ecopark. Definitely a nice place to stay if you want to relax your body and mind.   

As the famous cliche goes, The best climber in the world is the one who's having the most fun. (Alex Lowe). Well, I did have FUN! It was my first time to do trekking coz you know, I'm more of a beach girl. At first I thought I can't do it but I was wrong. I proved that I can also climb a mountain!! ;) 



READY TO CLIMB!!! ;)



ON THE BRIDGE.









Now, I can say that I am no longer a beach girl only. I can also be a mountain girl. :))

Mt. Talamitam: My Mother Mountain

Image
Sitting at the top of Mt. Talamitam last Feb. 2016 It was February this year when I finally said "yes" to my friend Toni's invitation to hike a mountain. After several invitations that I declined in the past, she was able to lure me in (and it's something that I did not regret!) I was actually scared as it is my first time to climb a mountain. Thoughts like "What will I do?", "Can I do it?", you know the usual "what if's" that you can think of when doing something you never did before. But all of these were gone when I started my journey with the mountains and then fell in love with it. :) With my friend, Toni. :) Mt. Talamitam is my "Mother Mountain". This is the term that mountaineers use to acknowledge the first mountain that they have climbed and reached the summit. Honestly, I joined the climb out or curiosity, to understand the enthusiasm that my other mountaineer friends have in climbing mount...

This is the last part of our last trip to Quezon. We visited the famous Kamay Ni Hesus in Lucban, Quezon. Its like a 30 minute drive from Tayabas. I did not count how many stairs we had to climb before we get into the top. Next time I'll count them.  Its been a great trip to Jesus' Hands! :) Feel blessed!

El Nido: A Paradise Part 2

Image
Welcome to our second day of Island tour in the beautiful place of El Nido in the heart of Palawan. :) We stayed there for 4D/3N but still those days were not enough to explore all the islands of El Nido. Maybe next time will book for 5 days. Our guide and boat operator at the first day told us that El Nido alone has 150 islands. I'm still verifying that information as of this writing.  An escape to paradise. :) I can say that this trip is the highlight of my 2013. Indeed it's MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES!!! :) The travel time is so worth it. We visited several islands/beaches that El Nido is very proud of. During our stay, we were able to visit these breathtaking sceneries. In our first tour we visited the Small and Big Lagoon, Shimizu Beach where we had our lunch, Secret lagoon and the 7 Commando Beach.  On our second day of island tour, we came to see the Cathedral Cave, Matinloc Shrine, Helicopter Island, Snake Island, Cudugnon Cave, Secret beach and Pangulasian ...
