I Heart Travels

Talisayen Cove Zambales  It's been two years already since I last saw my college friends and I guess the last one was during our graduation. So this trip to Talisayen Cove was a great time for us to mingle and catch up with everyone. We’ve decided to meet in Cubao Terminal around four in the morning. I texted all of our friends for the said get together. However, not everyone showed up. We decided that even if we were not complete the trip will still push thru rain or shine. We rode the Victory Liner air-conditioned bus bound to Iba Zambales and just asked the conductor to drop us in San Antonio Zambales - the jump off point going to Talisayen cove. I never thought that Zambales have a lot of beautiful beaches to offer. The infamous tragedy that happened here in 1991 when Mount Pinatubo erupted drastically changed the geological face of Zambales. Who would have thought that something remarkably beautiful will emerge after the tragedy? Today, tourist and adventurers are tra

  Batis Aramin Lucban Quezon Batis Aramin Resort, Hotel and Adventure Camp is just one of the few resorts near my hometown Tayabas, Quezon. We went there when we visited the well-known Catholic Pilgrimage site called “Kamay ni Hesus” which lies on the foot of Mt. Banahaw last 2011. You won't be lost to find the place because it is just on the other side of the popular retreat camp Kamay ni Hesus which is located in Malupak, Lucban Quezon. We don't have enough money to pay the 100 pesos entrance fee but because we wanted to explore the place we just made an alibi to the security personnel that we just wanted to do an ocular visit and see if we wanted to stay. The security personnel was very kind and he let the 5 of us enter the vicinity we just left our ID's for record updating.  There were a lot of guess that time. I saw a lot of private cars with LaSalle University stickers probably they rented the place for retreat. I never expected the resort to be so beautif

Sunbloom Resort is just one of the many resorts in Potipot . It is located along the shoreline of Barangay Uacon in Candelaria, Zambales. The resort is very charming the offers gentle hospitality and tranquility for that perfect escape that you’ve been longing for. One thing I notice is the Spanish influence in its architecture. I think that it’s an old Mansion turn into a resort hotel. They don’t allow pets unless it’s caged. They also have a huge parking space so its good for groups that will bring private cars. I feel so secure in the area and It feels like home. They have picnic tables for rent for day trippers but free for those staying for a night. Their view deck gives a perfect sight of Potipot Island.    With rooms at Php1200 good for 4 pax, their rooms have a/c and fan, two double comfortable beds, rattan sofa-bed and really clean toilets with complimentary towels & soap but without hot & cold shower though.  All rooms look the same, with same amenities,

  There is nothing more satisfying than to spend an entire weekend on a beach with the company of some great friends. That's what we exactly did when we went to Subic. It was Jitjit’s birthday when he invited us to go to their place in Subic, Zambales. He’s been away in Manila for a year already and we really wanted to see him.  Gracia, Ken my sister (Badet) and me met in Market Market and went to Victory Liners Pasay bound to Olongapo. From Manila, we took the bus going to Subic. It was roughly a 3-hour trip. We weren’t bored the entire trip. Thanks to music; traveling long hours on the road is not much of a struggle. It’s touchdown in Subic Bay Freeport Zone at around 5pm.  We bought a birthday cake for Jitjit and met him in Goldilocks. Jitjit introduced Tomtom to us, his current love interest that time and we headed straight to their house to meet Jitjit’s family.We sang happy birthday before eating the food that was served to us. After dinner, Gracia wanted to go nigh
