tuesday travels: graceland, quezon

graceland, quezon

I went to Graceland in Quezon a few years back (it was my 2nd time to visit this wonderful province, the first time was really first love, I wished I can settle there for good, we went to Lucban that time along with my officemates from my former work) together with my teammates + I just so love the place. The beautiful villas look as if you were somewhere in Europe.

graceland, quezon, travel

There are loads of things to do there, we strolled around + explore the many features + amenities of the place, we took turns in the swing + seesaw. Some took a dip in the pool (I did not, the weather is a tad colder for a swim Grin) We drunk (I was still drinking socially at that time, I gave it up entirely not too long ago!) + sample the local delicacies!

The view is simply breathtaking + the place is just heaven on Earth! We took loads of photos, of course + took home loads of wonderful memories! I truly had a great time there, I really wish I can go back! Smile

tuesday travels: i heart baguio!

The view in front of The Mansion

Baguio is probably one my most favorite places here in the Philippines, I have only been there once + I fell head-over-heels in love with it. It will really be ideal if I live there. I love the weather, I love the people, + most of all I love the veggies + the strawberries! Wink

I went there, together with my teammate December of 2006, we’ve stayed for 2 days if I remember it clearly. We did not get the chance to see most of the place, though, as it was raining a lot most days  (there was actually a typhoon around that time!). It was really freezing cold, but I just love the weather! It is perfect for just lazily chatting with your good friends + catching up on the latest buzz. + most of all, the weather is just perfect to whet once appetite and go out + sample what Baguio cuisine has to offer. Now, no amount of rain can stop us from going out + eating!  We had our first meal at those eateries near Session Road which sells barbeques!

We’ve also managed to visit SM Baguio + go to the market to buy some souvenirs + stuffs. We also did not forget to swing by the series of Ukay-ukay stores in downtown. I was able to buy a knitted, turtleneck long-sleeved top + a purple jacket (or is it a windbreaker) for Jared’s dad. We also stopped by grotto + the butterfly farm, + bought some knitted stuffs from Mine’s View Park, too!

If given the chance, I’d definitely love to go back there. I want to go to the Strawberry Farm + visit the place that sells those yummy Ube jams, too! Or maybe we can venture farther + pay a visit to Sagada as well (oh well, that probably has to be in a separate post altogether!)

tuesday travels: my favorite beach

by // 5 Comments

the beautiful me sunset

For this week’s Tuesday Travels, we are to write about our favorite beach destination. I have only been gone to the beach a few times in my life, the first time was when I was just 6, I think,. I went to Matabungkay Beach with my sis, Bel, + my Papa, + I must say I really love the beach + if given the chance I’d love to settle somewhere near, so I can be close to the surf, the sun, the sand + the good vibe the ocean water brings.

the lovely ocean

My favorite beach destination will have to be the Coco Beach (see my other posts about it here + here). I just love the place, the greens, the beach, the food + just about everything about it! I went there in 2007 with my teammates (it was part of our incentives for being team of the year), it was also the first time I have even been to the beach in long while + I simply love the experience!

If given the chance I’d love to visit that place again with my family. I know my son will totally love it there, he simply loves the waters ;D

green monday: plants at coral view

by // 1 Comment

I took this photo when we went to Coral View, in Subic for our family summer outing a few weeks back (I know, I was not able to post about it yet, I am so guilty for all the backlogs + all + I intend to make up for it by updating this blog very, very soon Wink)

In front of Coral View resort are these plants in the pigeon house, greeting the visitors and welcoming them into the place. I fell in love with these plants so I took a photo. We were just strolling around, Jared in my arms + waiting for Jared’s dad, just before we head back home after a day’s fun at the beach Wink
