Life Lately √ 02

ASEAN visit here in the Philippines Again! So it is another time of the year to relax from the hassle and bustle of workloads.

Thailand 📍Cartoon Network Amazone Water Park

If you are a child at heart, you can never go wrong in visiting Cartoon Network Amazone while you are in Thailand. For me it is one of the cutest things to visit especially if you want to chill in and enjoy the colorful place with family and friends. Aside from the other famous and beautiful temples and places being visited in Thailand, Cartoon Network Amazone Water Park which is properly located in Pattaya Thailand is also the most well-known unique place to explore. Cartoon Network Amazone Water Park is one of Thailand’s largest water parks. The park is themed around the characters of the Cartoon Network TV channel. 

Vietnam 📍Thien Hau Temple in Ho Chi Minh

It was a privileged to visit another temple in other country which recognized its real culture and history. This temple I am talking about is the Thien Hau Temple in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Thien Hau Temple is located in Saigon’s China Town at 710 Nguyen Trai Street, District 5, Ho Chi Minh City. Cholon is the local name of Saigon’s China town; and this place is not only being visited by many tourists for the goods and foods but also commonly visited because of this Thien Hau Temple.

Vietnam📍Saigon’s Night Markets

Shopping for souvenirs is always part for travelers. From key chains, ref magnets and pouches, that are common items to bring at home for good friends and family. Night market is always a good place to find good items for souvenirs plus a good time to encounter the cool weather at night rather than fighting the heat of the sun while shopping. While I and my good friends had the time to visit Vietnam for the first time recently, we never neglected the chance to explore the night markets around Saigon. Well as part of our planned tri-country adventure, we included night market in our lists so stay tuned for more blogs coming up for our recent adventures outside the country.

Life Lately √ 01

Life lately was more about life changing activities which opened my eyes about those things I was so blinded or would I say "vague" to me before. It starts from deep thoughts to accepting the real life situations, which then reminded me so much how to let go and let God for everything. To make things better and quite refreshing I did thought of some important stuffs that could make me feel well and could lift me up.

Cebu📍Terrazas de Flores

There are many things to do in Cebu and they are many to mention it here lol. I got the chance to browse my memory files last night and I crossed with my old files about Cebu City and that then led me to a nice visit in one of the gardens in Cebu City named Terrazas de Flores. This garden is quite new in Cebu that’s why we never heard this a lot compared to Sirao Garden which is always seen in most instagram post. 

Mindoro Oriental📍Things to Do in Puerto Galera

Simply, traveling is the greatest escape. May nabasa nga ako sa social media regarding traveling quoting “Traveling – nagpapatunanay na hindi lamang umiikot ang buhay mo sa opisina.”

Benguet📍Ambangeg Trail of Mount Pulag

When someone told me that I couldn’t do this or that, that’s the time that my eagerness to achieve a thing I really wanted to do gets stronger.

This was happened to me and my co hiker and a work colleague as well, Flori. Negative vibes we’ve heard from people who thought negative to this adventure never hindered us to climb Mount Pulag. Even the unexpected weather condition seemed did not agreed on our plan to conquer Mount Pulag. But it doesn’t matter at all because we have the positive spirit that the weather will be calmed and we believed that everything’s going to be okay.

Zamboanga del Sur 📍First Visit Ever

When I visited the province of Zamboaga del Sur for the first time, what I have noticed first are the huge area of rice fields and those calm towns.  

Mountain Province📍Unexpected Sagada Jaunt

It was like, “Saan tayo pupunta ate?”, “Kailangan ba?”, “Tuloy pa ba tayo?”, “Ayy, ‘wag nalang tayong magpunta.’” Haha sounds crazy. Until, I packed my things, took a jeepney outside the camp and tadah! I've reached the bus terminal. I saw the signage of the buses... “SAGADA”. So, tuloy pala talaga kami! 

Photo Diary Volume. 2: Day Hike

When I heard the place Benguet, first comes to my mind are the cold weather, vegetables, pine trees and beautiful mountains – So Greeny! As a girl who has given the opportunity to be in the place, I could say I am blessed to experience and to see for myself how lovely Benguet is. I am always thankful I got the chance to travel even with a little time. One of the best experiences I have in the place is to do hiking. First hiking experience I had was climbing Mount Ulap, and to tell you the experience was really great. I’ve describe that hiking experience as the Best Feeling Ever!

Bukidnon📍Quezon's Overview Nature Park

Quezon Bukidnon is not just the sugarcane capital in the province of Bukidnon. Apart from its capacity to supply goods in the region the municipality has its own unique beauty that aspires travelers to come. From mountains, natural resources and humble people, the place also has this Nature Park that became a famous tourist spot.

Benguet📍Mt Ulap Eco Trail

“When you think you can? YOU can! Nothing’s Impossible”

Palawan📍How to Explore El Nido

Among all the places in the Philippines, El Nido is one of the best. My visit and stay in the place was quite unexpected, reason why I was able to explore this heartwarming place in Palawan Island. The place is widely known for its white sand, beautiful beaches, gorgeous coral reefs, crystal clear water and warm people. Currently, El Nido has been included as one of the beautiful beaches in the whole world according to CNNgo! To give you some background, the succeeding are my ideas on how to explore the place.

Palawan📍Safest Taraw Adventure

Palawan an island of Philippines is no wonder one of the best islands in the world. You can appreciate both those small and big details of the island if you’re really into exploring the place. My visit and stay in this island brought me many realizations, not only about the place but what is really meant by wandering – a word usually associated to travel. In this post I’m sharing to you one of my adventures in El Nido Palawan. This diary is not about island hopping which is the place is famous but a sort of trekking adventure that you never thought also well heard in El Nido, so here it is!

Palawan📍Postcards: Sunset of El Nido

Sunset is one of nature’s creations that I truly love about our Mother Earth. As the sun sets, it makes me feel calm and easy. Like, worries and problems are setting down together with the sun and a new promise is about to come.

Palawan📍Amazing Subterranean River Park in Puerto Princesa

“Take nothing but pictures, Leave nothing but footprints, Kill nothing but time, Keep Nothing but memories”

Yes indeed, I’m a solo adventurista this time but I fully enjoyed every moment being one, just to see the Underground River!!!

Korean Palace: Kung Jeon

Annyeong-haseyo!

In just an hour of driving from the project site at Itogon Benguet, I and my officemate arrived in Seoul! Isn’t it amazing?

Photo Diary Volume 1: 2016 Unexpected Journey

Life is full of surprises and this is how I picture life's beauty through my lenses! Proudly presents to you my first volume of photo diary. These are my unexpected travel journey that taught me how to wander, how to be strong and how to find real happiness despite of these life imperfections (the first batch 😘). So here it is the sneak preview of my memorable journey last 2016.

Malaysia📍272 Steps Batu Caves

Lord Murugan

When we arrived in Kuala Lumpur (a city in Malaysia), first question of my travel buddy Shyne was “Inday, what’s our first destination?” and I responded, “Batu Caves”.

Benguet📍Postcards from the Project Site

Overview of TSF3

Little by little I begin to appreciate how uneasy to be on a naive site, I mean far from the city, trees are everywhere, goats and cows are many and the project itself. But opposite to it, seriously the surroundings I’m in now let me appreciate the beauty of simple life in the province even on its being naive.

Singapore📍Last Day in Lion City

Singapore is one of the nice and best cities I’ve visited outside Philippines so far. It has a good transportation, to mention their MRT is very efficient and fast and honestly I got amazed to it plus no traffic. I also like Singapore’s clean and organized environment. And I think these are the other reasons why this Lion City is highly visited by tourist around the globe. There are a lot of good things to do and to visit in Singapore and to name them all is not my expertise lol. This post is going to be our last day travel diary in Singapore last April. And it was a short and memorable travel journey with Love and Shyne. Aside from visiting the beautiful city, it was happened to be a chance to meet up our good friends that are based in Singapore. It was a total packaged of YES thing because I and my travel buddies completed the itinerary we made. And this was our journey goes like!

Malaysia📍Explore Kuala Lumpur in One Day

Petronas Tower

When March Falls

This travel journey was a history already but I love to write it down here the summary of our visit and adventure in Cebu last March and what my base off got. It was two (2) weeks of being off in my work and the time gave me the chance to do the things I really wanted for my birth month.

Singapore📍 China Town: Jampacked with Countless Things to Do

Let say Indians, Koreans, Filipinos or Chinese name them all they are many in the famous Lion City – Singapore. It is a city jam-packed with different cultures. That’s why if you travel in Singapore it feels like you’ve been into different places with different cultures at the same time.

Singapore📍Little India's Colorful Side

As part of our itinerary, from Changi Airport I and my travel buddies headed directly to this vibrant side of Singapore – Little India.

Explore Singapore & Kuala Lumpur: 3 Day Sample Itinerary

“Go! Go! Go out in your shell!”  - I always heard this phrase when I was younger. Maybe because people noticed me as naive and always have own space that’s why they thought I have too. Like, Go March and explore!

Baguio City📍Glance To Our Short Trip during Panagbenga Festival

Upon checking my facebook page today, I realized I never made a blog post yet for our short trip during last February’s Panagbenga Festival, so to account our little spree with Baguio's Flower Festival I wrote this one. Its better late than never right?

Cebu📍Fort San Pedro

It’s never too late! These are the best words I could describe to our visit at Plaza Independecia and Fort San Pedro in Cebu last March. Quarter to four in the afternoon when I and my family decided to have a quick visit at Fort San Pedro. We were dropped by our relatives at Basilica of Santo Niño after they had toured us to some part of Busay Cebu. Kenneth, a good family friend of us who worked in Cebu City told us to visit Fort San Pedro. And since my father was still up to going somewhere in the city we visited the said fort.

Ilocos Sur📍Travel Back in Time at Vigan

I and my friends had a great time visiting Ilocos Norte last February. It was an unexpected travel adventure. It was an escapade with no planned itinerary to check but we were still so blessed because the unplanned adventure did succeeded. To make the story short it was not your typical travel trip, but spell out the word happiness? That’s what we truly felt. We really enjoyed the trip and for me that was one of the best travel experiences I had last month.

Palawan📍Island Hopping Escapade in El Nido

      Small Lagoon

Cebu📍Temple of Leah

One of the best for me about visiting Cebu City is that it has beauty both within the central district and even in provincial areas like adventures found in South Cebu; a good example is the Whale Shark in Oslob that you could see personally and swim with them and those whales are so lovely. If hugging them is not an offense I would love to hug them like teddy bear.

Baguio City📍Mt. Cloud Bookshop

I’m not a bookworm but I love books as much as it gives me leisure opportunity to go out on my shell for some time especially those times of overloads like workloads, life problems and love life. LOL!

Cebu📍Swim with the Whale at Oslob

I’m going to swim with the whale!!! Yell by an excited sister with me who’s really up to go to Oslob. Oslob is one of the municipalities in the province of Cebu that became famous because of this Whale and other interesting nature’s beauty that made Cebu a province full with interesting adventures both within the city and in provincial area.

Cebu📍Colorful Sirao Garden

It’s always been a blessed day. Lucky us we we’re able to visit Sirao Garden with a free ride from a close family in Cebu.

Cheers for 25 Years and Beyond

When I was younger I thought to myself, life would be the best if I grow older. But reality check, when life goes on and on, it throws me different challenges like yours.

Ilocos Norte📍Cape Bojeador Lighthouse

We ended our Bagui adventure  with a visit to an old Light house named Cape Bojeador Lighthouse. This 20 meter octagonal stone tower was established during the Philippine Spanish Colonial period. That still functions as a welcoming beacon to the international ships that enter Philippine Archipelago. We got there through a motorcycle from Kapurpurawan Rock Formation, another nice place to visit in Burgos, Ilocos Norte.

Ilocos Norte📍The Beauty of Kapurpurawan Rock Formation

Ilocos Norte a glimpse of bygone days, a province that has a lot to offer from natural resources, falls and cave of Pagudpud down to those giant wind mills of Bagui to Kapurpurawan rock formations that capture wanderer to drop by and experience its unique beauty.

Ilocos Norte📍Paoay a Touch of Antiquity

Welcome to Paoay, Ilocos Norte the hometown of the Marcos

Happiness Comes from Within

The real happiness really comes from within. We can truly find happiness when we truly embrace positivism. It’s actually hard for us to engage to real happiness especially when hatred, insecurities, jealousy and bitterness are all within ourselves. So to start engaging the word H-A-P-P-I-N-E-S-S just within ourselves, we have to let go all those negativeness inside us. Remember that we ourselves are only responsible for our own happiness not anyone else. Don’t depend your happiness to anybody ‘cause there are many ways to indulge ourselves to it.  It’s up to us now how we can rock it.

Pangasinan📍Patar Beach in Bolinao

It took me and my colleague 6 hours from Baguio City to reach the little paradise of Bolinao Pangasinan. It was really way too far as I imagined but to reach such hidden beauty of the place, long trip doesn’t matter at all.

Baguio City📍Places to visit and things to do

Baguio City is famous as Philippine’s Summer Capital, and the freezing temperature is one of the reasons why people really wanted to visit the famous city of Cordillera. While you’re in the said city, there are many nice places to visit and things to do while enjoying the place. The following are the well visited and explored so check this out.
