2D1N Sagrada Familia in Baguio City

Thanks to Expressways!  Particularly SCTEX and TPLEX, our trip last Saturday (10-10-2015) to the Summer Capital of the Philippines only took us about 4 hours!  Toll fees cost us about PhP 500.00 from Subic to Urdaneta, Pangasinan.

It's our little lakwatsera's first trip to Baguio, and I'm sure it's not going to be the last:-D  She is a real trooper!  No hassles whatsoever during the trip.  Our group managed to visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Manaoag, to pray for the safe trip and thanksgiving for all the blessings.

We had a quick stop over for lunch at a Bulaluhan before finally going to Baguio.  We stayed overnight at the Hotel 45.  While waiting for the availability of a Family room...

Dinner is served!
Ate Kathleen turned seventeen on October 10, Sagrada Family visited Baguio to celebrate with her.  Her dad hosted a dinner for us and her friends at our Family Room.  She is on her first year as Accountancy Student at SLU.

After dinner, we strolled at the Night Market near Burnham Park which is a short walk from our hotel.  Walking from the hotel to the park was a much needed break.  Since everyone was full, it was a bit of an exercise without the sweating part.  Plus the cold weather also helped!

From the night market, we stopped by at a Convenience Store for our supplies the next day.  We went back to the hotel for some more chit chats and then snooze time.

The beautiful Baguio weather greeted us the next morning!  Baby Mikee seems excited  and Nanay, too!  We availed of the complimentary breakfast offered by the hotel and prepared to explore the nearby sights on foot.

Our room accommodation at Hotel 45, thank you Mayor Lim! :-D

After breakfast, we strolled from the hotel to Burnham Park and SM City Baguio.

It's also Ate Thea's first time in Baguio!

I really wish we could stay longer and enjoy the cold weather.  Sadly, though we have to go home as soon as possible since a hectic work week awaits at the office:-(

Till our next lakwatsa!!!

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!
