2015 Island Adventure #1: My Dream Come True---> Sta. Cruz Island, Zamboanga City (Jan. 3, 2015)

Been dreaming of coming to this island since 2008. After half a dozen years, it finally came true! Indeed, good things come to those who wait...patiently!


It was a fine Saturday, the weather was perfect for a beach escapade!  Although the boat ride back to Paseo del Mar was a bit rough. It's all worth it! I thought the photos didn't do justice to the actual amazing beauty of the Pink Sand Beach, Sta. Cruz Island.  You have to be there to experience it yourself! 

 First off, be at  Paseo Del Mar early!  Next, register at once and pay the necessary fees and wait patiently:-)  Since we were there on a weekend, there were already a number of people waiting when we arrived.

Listen to the Tourism Officer during the orientation.  Trust me, it's for your own safety!  Yes we want to enjoy but we should also remember our safety!   So wear life jackets, shades and enjoy the boat ride:-) We just did! Also, take tons of pictures when you can.

Finally after 30 minutes, we're stepping on my dream island! Yeheyyy!!!  Dreams do come true!!! Hehehe! I couldn't contain my excitement.
Sta. Cruz Island, finally!!!

What a beautiful day for swimming!

3D2N Food Trip in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental Philippines

Image
Time really flies when you're having fun:-) Just like our recent trip to Bacolod, the Capital City of Negros Occidental last weekend Oct. 11-13, 2013, time flew fast:-) Dubbed as the "City of Smiles" and home of the MassKara Festival, held every 3rd week of October. Although our visit fell short of one week prior the actual festival, it's all good! We have great reason to come back next year. We took advantage of Air Asia's Seat Sale as well as Go Hotels promo. Our airfare and hotel accommodation was a steal for a little less than Php 2k each:-) As soon as my good friend Panx sent me a message via fb about the seat sale (that was around first week of September), I immediately told hubby about it. After booking, I did some research from blogs on the internet to help me prepare our itinerary. It's great to know that it will be the first time for all of us to get there, we're so excited esp. after reading the reviews about all the food and the amazing p

Beach Getaway: White Rock Water Park and Beach Resort

June 6, 2015 Saturday How quick time flies, it feels like just a few days ago when we said hello to summer via my post on the first week of March 2015 . There was no shortage  of water activities this past few months, I must say Summer 2015 to date, has been the busiest! And the hottest!  I personally take a bath 2-3 times a day! So when schedule permits, we are either at a swimming pool or at the beach on weekends! And since we said hello to summer, it is but fitting to say goodbye! Last Saturday we did! Hubby and I were invited by my friend Anne and her family to join them at White Rock Water Park and Beach Resort for a beach getaway. Welcome to WHITE ROCK! Waiting at the Lobby of the Hotel While waiting for the others, I roamed around the lobby and noticed that White Rock Hotel is spotless/very clean! Staircase to the rooms upstairs Sunset Cafe near the lobby I fell in love with the ceiling! We took advantage of the amenities inclusiv

March 8, 2015 (Sunday) Welcoming Summer 2015 with a trip to the beach/food trip!  Some of hubby and moi's friends from the office decided to plan a trip to the beach with our families and kids to relax and beat the summer heat.  Our call time was at 6AM however with a few glitches we we're only rolling at 10AM... I always enjoy road trips to Zambales because of the smooth ride, no traffic, plus no toll fees! Roadtrip:  On the way to San Felipe Zambales We arrived at San Felipe Zambales around lunch time.  With the sun, the sea and the sea breeze we feasted on a sumptuous lunch:-) Pork barbecue, Korean Pancit, CPA and fruits for lunch:-) Double thumbs up Kuya Joe! A beautiful sunny day for swimming! Life is a beach:-) Hubby and me:-) I didn't get the chance to swim though because I had sniffles...better luck next summer trip!
