When in Ilocos

March 14, 2018 Ilocos Region, Philippines

Together with my office mates, last October 2016 we planned for a trip to Ilocos.
We spent our 3 days and 2 nights in Ilocos and it was one of the unforgettable experience that I had together with my awesome friends.



Since it's been years before I post a blog of our trip, this post will end up as a photo diary.
I'm so sorry but I will do my best to have a detailed blog for some of my travels soon.

A dream-like place called Calaguas Island

Camarines Norte, Philippines


Year 2016, I'm so into travelling because it help me to relieved my stress and being tired during my work days in the office.

So I took again the opportunity to search for some new place that I've never been to. That's the reason I found the beauty of Calaguas Island that was located in Province of Camarines Norte.

For the 2nd time around, I searched up for a travel agency that cater trips to Calaguas Island.
I found one on Facebook and booked with them dated October 7-9. Our expense for that trip was around 2,300php all-in.
  It was a very long, super long drive before we got to witnessed the astonishing beauty of Calaguas Island.
Amazing emerald-like water, and pure white sand it has.



There's nothing you can look for in Calaguas Island, it has all the amenities your looking for an island, except for aircon. :D

We also hike to another island near in Calaguas. The place was so good and I recommend it to you to be even more relaxed.

A sweet escape to Fortune Island in Batangas

Batangas, Philippines



My cousin and I planned for a beach vacation last 2016. Upon searching for beach that are not yet fully discovered by many, we found "Fortune Island" that was located in Batangas City.

I searched for some information (more on photos on what it looked like) about the island.
Fortune Island was known for it's Parthenon inspired view on it. So it really excites me after knowing that it's like that.



I searched for a travel agency, for us to give more easier in accessing the island and also to have a prepared food when we go there. Luckily, I found one and immediately booked for it dated March 5-6. As far as I remembered it only cost less than 2,000php with food included on the trip.

We leave our house at 2AM on that day that we have scheduled to go to Batangas.
And after the long hour drive, we arrived safely on the island.
The sun was scorching hot that morning (it's only 10AM that day). The water that the island have was as clear as the blue sky above. There's one thing that really bothered me by the time we came to the island, I noticed that the sand on it was not like the sand of some islands that I went. The sand there, yeah it's white but it's like an artificial one (I really don't know, but it's different).





And the island itself doesn't have electricity and also running water that can use after you soak yourself in salt water. Most of the tourists that come to the island just stayed for only 2 days and 1 night, for the reason of not having clean/running water and also comfort room there. For my opinion, the island was only good for doing pictorials/photo shoots, not for relaxing yourself through your stressful days.


On the other side, we make good friends with the other who also joined the travel in Fortune Island. That was one of the unforgettable part on our travel.

And also thank you to GoPH Travel and Tours for the memorable trip and tasty foods to Fortune Island.

Thank you for dropping by! See you on my next travel post!

Random Thoughts #1

March 08, 2018


It started the way it should be.
What is friend?
Someone you have trust into, the one who can always got their back for you in times of trouble and also the one who will understand you the most.

Things in life don’t always go as to what we’ve dreaming of. There’s always and will always be people who will act friend to you at first and soon become your worst enemy but not all of them. Years past, days past and times past, they changed. Why? This one word question is too hard to answer, not because you don’t want to talk about it anymore but because you really don’t know the reason behind, “why they change?”. 
Once the friendship took part ways, do you think it will come back the way it was before? 
I think it will, if that one person who changed took responsibility on how it will be solved, I personally think it will. Because all problems comes with solution and we’re just the one who will find a way on how to conquer it.

Friendship:
  • Eat together, more likely eat your food
  • Have fun during your free time
  • Talk about your own life
  • Listening to each other’s problem and opinion
  • Giving a piece of advice when needed
  • Doing dumb things together
  • Laughing at each other’s embarassing moment
Life will not even be complete without a friend. Treasure it the most like they were a family to you. Don’t do things that you will regret sooner or later, everytime you and your friend have misunderstandings. Those are the things come in our life to test our faith and trust with our relationship to them.

There’s this saying:
Our phones fall, we panic. Our friends fall, we laugh.
Definitely, that’s true! It happens all the time! 

Friends for keeps, hi there! I’m so thankful that I found you, please stay as you are! ❤️
Thanks for reading my post!
