Mich’s birthday last June was a blast. It was a sunny-windy trip to Tagaytay with the usual great food, great sites and great 12-hour++ long, quality, and unforgettable sleep.

We stayed at the Royal Taal Inn with the accommodation courtesy of the birthday girl. Since it was just an overnight stay, we don’t have that much in our itinerary. Surprisingly, when we got there, we implicitly agreed to do one thing… and that is to sleep the entire day. Hehe. That is of course after we grilled our lunch and had Mich blew her birthday cake bangus. haha. We had bangus, super-salty pork, red egg *yum*, rice and ripe mango.

After that bountiful sleep,

The Anawangin Cove is one of the famous destinations of mountaineers a while back. Since it’s easy to get there, with no trekking and less danger, it’s now being frequented by mountaineers and “common” people alike. We, as “common” people, went there to enjoy what the cove has to offer. Unlike the others (some of them are my friends), we did something different in Anawangin. We tried to take different photos and we tried to experience it differently as opposed to what the others did. To tell you the truth, almost every other day, a new blog or a new set of photos are being posted on the Internet about Anawangin. So, we brought costumes and did a glam shoot. Yup, “E” for effort. haha

My friends didn’t do this either: we visited the

We just had this awesome trip to Sagada, Mountain Province. The 12-hour trip from Manila was really exhausting plus our bus broke down in the middle of the mountains making the trip a non-pleasant experience.

We ate in the famous Yoghurt House (food? Not that good! hehe), also in the Lemon Pie House (food? I like the lemon pie. Yum! However, the menu says “longganisa” and it was just a frustrating 1 thin slice of it. haha. I ate a lot of cherry tomatoes here though. Loved it! Haha) and in the Masferre Cafe (food? Kinda the best.)

We went spelunking in the famous

Before going to the 2008 Pahiyas Festival in Lucban, Quezon, and after going there as well, we stayed in Liliw, Laguna. Liliw, is known as the “tsinelas” capital of the Philippines and every time I go there, I don’t buy any “tsinelas”. hehe

We visited the “orange” church, ate tons of food like siopao, siomai, palami (palabok + mami), puto-palabok, mangga’t bagoong, pansit, fried chicken + chopsuey, Arabella (not this time by the way), my favorite liliw-tokwa, and swam in the icy-cold spring pool.

Here are some of the pictures we took:

Lucban, Quezon is the home of “pansit hab hab” and giant “kalabaws”. The municipality celebrates the Pahiyas Festival every May 15 which showcases houses decorated with fruits, vegetables, rice products, food and “kiping.” (wikipedia.com)

It was raining during that day that it became an umbrella festival. We weren’t able to see a lot of “kipings”, just like what they used to have, we thought maybe because of the rice crisis. Most unforgettable part? It’s when the giant carabaos swayed their tails on us sprinkling us with we-don’t-wanna-know fluid. Well… it was raining then, so maybe,

La Luz Beach Resort in San Juan, Batangas is one of the best RnR places I’ve been to. With white-pebbled beach, buffet lunch, dinner and breakfast, very nice accommodation and relaxing activities to do, there’s no reason why I shouldn’t go back. However, one thing we really really hated about them is that it’s so hard to contact the resort. Their numbers are always busy and unattended most of the time.

Potipot Island, Zambales
private property, crystal-clear waters

We had a beachy fun last weekend in Potipot Island, Zambales. It was a rough 5-hour direct ride from Manila to Dawal Beach Resort but it was all worth it.

We did the itinerary below because some of my friends have to do a graveyard shift before going there.

The banca ride from Dawal to Potipot Island is just around 5 minutes so you don’t really need to worry if you’re afraid travelling by sea.

Fortunately, we brought a loaf of bread which we used to feed the fishes by the shore to make them join us while swimming.
