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

Pundaquit Beach Zambales Pundaquit, or Pandakit is in San Antonio Zambales, a small fishing village on an attractive bay with a long white sand beach. It is a small barrio next to a glorious South China Sea and surrounded by paramount mountains. It is home to many fishermen as several boats lined their beach. The sun was glaring as I tried to take in the striking surroundings. The beach was very clean, unlike some of Subic's beaches I visited before.   I was really confused if Cove and Island is the same but according to my research A cove is a small type of bay or coastal inlet. Coves usually have narrow, restricted entrances, are often circular or oval, and are often situated within a larger bay. So definitely, we are not going to ride a boat just to get there.  It took us four hour of bumpy ride to finally reach Subic Olongapo and another hour to get to San Antonio Zambales with just 2 hours of slow traffic and the difference is our total travel time. We don't

  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
