I ♥ Halsema Highway - Baguio-Bontoc Road 01/20-22/12

  Enjoy arriving at the destination, but, by all means, enjoy the journey. Fresh from a long ride from Manila to Baguio we headed to Dangwa Bus Terminal to reserve a seat going to Sagada. It was around 9am and the place were already packed with a large number of tourists. After waiting for almost 2 hours for the next bus, we finally able to board and start our Sagada  Adventure. A fare to Sagad is 220 pesos and the ride is such a fun experience.   We are going to take the Halsema Highway which is the highest highway in the Philippines and is one of the most scenic drives one can experience in the Philippines. I is also considered one of the most dangerous highways in the world. Everyday, commuters, transporters, tourists, and residents coming from Baguio or Mt. Province take this route without a safety guard rail.  The road Was opened in 1930 as led by Engineer Euseibus Julius Halsema of whom this highway was named after. He was also Baguio city's mayor during

I ♥ Sagada, Mountain Province 01/20-22/12

  One of the best place to unwind and get away from stress and be close to nature. The place is very solemn and price is definitely affordable. The roads leading to Sagada seems endless but 12 ours of travel from manila is all worth it.  There's a lot of activities to choose from , variety of good food , & nature of course. Most of the hotel rooms and inns were fully booked? better book a reservation to make sure that you will a place to stay.  Do not compromise your own security because there are things that don't go according to plan. You have to be extra careful with door and window locks and leaving your things behind.  I  would recommend Sagada to all nature loving people who loves sight seeing and very long, long, long travel.

I ♥ Something Fishy Eastwood 06/13/12

It was such a great experience dining at Somethin' Fishy in Eastwood Citywalk , Libis, Quezon City. I was with my friends from PoorMus (jitjit,kate,deb,ken and gracia) when I went there and we enjoyed it a lot.  This was one of the rare bonding moments that we had and I always enjoy every minute of spending time with them. I don't know if they have the cheapest breakfast buffet in he metro but the quality of food wasn't compromised even with pretty low low price.  Their eat all you can buffet breakfast is available from 12am to 10am. The ambience is well lighted. In the wall, there are lots of pictures of a different fisherman that catches big fishes! They offer a lot of choices and will surely worth every penny spent. How did we get there. From McKinley we rode a taxi cab and ask him to drop us off in Eastwood, Quezon City. The fare is just 150 pesos and travel time is approximately 30 minutes or it depends on the traffic. Suggested

I ♥ Sabang Beach Palawan 06/08/12

Sabang Beach is the entrypoint if you plan to go to Underground Subterenean River in Palawan. Its a 2 and a half hour ride, 78 KM from town proper. But the view on your way there will surely make you forget the time and the distance spent. You can hire a tourist guide to get you there or if you're an adventurous type, try to find a Lexus Van for public transport in San Jose Bus Station. Just be sure to book your return trip back to puerto princesa or you'll end up booking in one the many hotels there.  Going to Sabang you'll pass the different tourist spot in Palawan. You'll pass by Honda Bay, Vietnamese Village, A white cross on top of a mountain, St. Paul limestone formation, and Ugong Rock Cafe. Sabang beach reminds me of Puerto Galera in Mindoro without the crowds and busy businesses. Palawan, particularly Sabang, is a remarkably beautiful.   How Do we Get There? The most convenient way of getting to Sabang Beach is via Lexus Van which is a
