Travel Diaries: Ilocandia Tour 2013

One item down on my Life List. Conquered Ilocandia and I'm seeing more possibilities that I am going back to the beautiful place. It's been weeks since the tour and I was such a slacker for not being able to do a blog post about it. So, here we go. Will be doing separate "technical" reviews for the Three Kings Travel and Tours (not so recommended) and for Hotel Asuncion (recommended).





First stop was in the Bell Tower Church. Just a trike away from where we've stayed in Vigan. Met up with the group there.





At the top of the bell tower. It was creeky and all, but we managed to take some pics.





Next stop is in Vigan. Trodded its most popular street -- Calle Crisologo. 




Remembered how I used to say that I would take interesting pictures in Vigan? Well, I failed. For one thing, we don't have our own camera and I found out that I was very camera shy. Tsk. 'Till my next travel. 




We also got to visit Baluarte and I saw my favorite pet - the tiger. Took a picture with it. Here.


I wish I was Princess Jasmine. 


Last stop was in the Paoay Sand Dunes. We got tons of pictures taken just to pass the time while waiting for out turn in the 4x4 ride. Too bad we haven't tried sandboarding though.



All we saw were stars, the vast expanse and the headlights from the other 4x4s. So Hollywood, I know.



The next day we went to take our pictures with the Bangui Wind Mills. One can supply power up to 1.65 MW. Went to Kapurpurawan too. 


Ended the day on the beach. ;) Not my first time in Hannah's. Been here days ago with his family. 


@ Marcos' Palace.



Last Day. In front of Paoay Church. This is after having our disappointing lunch buffet. Tsk. Got some happy travel memories to cherish. That's worth all the trip and exhaustion. 

*I should do a  better travel post next time. Sorry, I have tons of work to do. Online/Offline and I got a date with Tony Stark tomorrow!!! :)

The Magic of Falling in Love with A Reader

Image
So, I was torn between doing my critical article review for my Economics class, working online and blogging earlier. School assignment triumphed, blogging won the second place. Side hustling is for later. Congralute me, loves? Tumblr photo credit But before that, this sneaky article entitled,  Why Readers, Scientifically, Are The Best People To Fall In Love With caught my attention and while reading, I can't help but feel kilig for my boyfriend because he got a reader as a girlfriend. Haha. See, I like reading. I love reading way back in elementary. Dad got me a basket-full of books when he goes home (from working over the sea). The only thing that I have regretted is reading Sweet Valley Kids because it has poisoned my mind in finding true love and first kisses when I was just ten or eleven freaking years old. When I have kids, love story books should be out of their shelves. Real novels only, soon-to-be-babies. I am not claiming that I am this notorious r

In Case of Housemate Disputes, Smile

Happy isn't really a word to describe my day today. Today is like one of those bad hair days, made heavier by bitter longings and ended by irritating conversations. Back then, having a bad day in school is tolerable since I know total peace and quiet is waiting for me when I go home. My home scenario: Play with my dogs. Hug my mom. And eat a home-cooked dinner. Now that I am older and working, I have nothing to pour my days’ negativities on to but the internet. I am lucky if everything is smooth-sailing in the apartment. However, apartment life with fellow young professionals isn’t glam. It isn’t about house parties and beer anymore. You saw unwashed dishes on the sink this morning. You have gone home from work, yet they’re still there. Tomorrow morning, those unclean utensils are the first ones to greet you good morning while you brush your teeth. Nevertheless, smile. It’s a Saturday and your sleeping hours are extended. Finally, a 12-hour sleep, but, knock knock. Oh,

Weekly Wishes { Week 4 | May 2014 }

I am such a sucker for lists and goals that my brain does the forward trick, making me think of soooo many things at one time, making my body dead tired to do anything. Lol. Or maybe that is just my slacker excuse for being such a lazy ass. Now, I am going to tell you all about my failed goal tracker systems.  FAILED GOAL TRACKER SYSTEM # 1 - Wordpress Daily Tracker Blog Anyway, I did a temporary blog on my goals. I called it, "How Did The Dame Do Today?" . I was only active for three months there. Hah. I had a following though. Wordpress can really get you readers. Makes me think of migrating my personal blog in there. But again, I am toooo lazy to do it and I am quite afraid I might lose some posts. It's an abandoned blog now. Oh, well. FAILED GOAL TRACKER SYSTEM # 2 - Monthly Goals Last month , I started this monthly goals. Complete with typography if I may say. It went well for... a day? Yeah, just with the goal-setting part. What a shame. The poster
