Been Busy Doing This And That

My dear blog,

I am so sorry for neglecting you for so long. I've been to many places and done so many amazing things that I wish I was able to share with you but lack the time to visit here and share my adventures.

I've been to Boracay again and Hong Kong for the Third Time, been to the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Angeles Pampangga too and captured so many memories and photographs along the way.

There's so many stories I wanna share with you. There are good and bad experiences but all of them are worth the trip.

Bear with me my deary because I'll be doing more of this and that and will able to tell you I have been there and done that!

Marinduque Philippines

Boac, Marinduque was our destination in Luzon. It is surrounded by the Tayabas Bay and Sibuyan Sea an island located near Quezon, Mindoro, and Romblon.

We went to Marinduque on a Holy Week and it’s the perfect destination to visit because it’s a one stop destination for anyone who would like to go spiritual/ religious , nature tripping and hiking or just the usual fun at the beach.

For the religious/spiritual journey they have the Moriones Festival every Holy week

Island Cove, Binakayan, Cawit Cavite, Philippines

If you want a summer destination where you can do more thing than just swimming then this place is for you.

1) You can go fishing.
2) Have a videoke party.
3) Be a health buff at the gym.
4) Interact with animals like crocodiles, monkeys, ostrich and more.
5) Relax at the spa.
6) Play airsoft.
7) Go biking

Yes it's all here at Island Cove. We were there last March 5, 2009 and did everything I mentioned.

Manila Cathedral, Intramuros, Manila, Philippines

Your travel to the Philippines won't be complete if you don't visit one of the major structures in Manila that was built in the 1950's.

But before this present structure the first cathedral, made of nipa and bamboos, was built in 1581. It was damaged by a typhoon in 1582 and razed by fire in 1583.

Club Manila East (CME), Taytay, Rizal

If you are looking for a quick getaway on a weekend but not want to go far from Manila, this is the place to be. Club Manila East in Taytay, Rizal province is just 30 minutes away from Ortigas Center Pasig and Cubao. They have lots of pools to fit everyone's desire for a dip in the water. Price is very affordable too! But the best this resort has to offer is the BeachWave pool! For more info click here.

Take a quick look at our fun time in there:

Snippets of Tourist Spots (Bicol and Leyte)

If you want to see history at it's finest look no further, the Visayas Region south of Manila offers a wide range of tourist destination to fit everyone's taste.

What's in here:

Two active volcanoes

1) Mayon Volcano, popularly known as the Perfect Cone. Mayon Volcano is an active volcano in the Philippines on the island of Luzon, in the province of Albay in the Bicol Region. Its almost perfectly-shaped cone is considered by some to be the Philippine equivalent of Mount Fuji in Japan. 15 kilometres to the southeast of the volcano is Legazpi City. Mayon is classified by volcanologists as a stratovolcano.

Fun in the Sun at Subic

If you want a quick get-away from the busy Manila for a week-end go no further, Olonggapo, Subic in Zambales is just a two hour (ooops make it 40 minutes, with the new Subic, Pampanga Expressway!) drive and there are a wide-range of beaches and resorts you can choose from to relax.

We were suppose to go to White Rock, but we arrived at a peak time it seems because a three bus full loads of people just checked-in when we went there. But for other resort options you can go at this site: http://www.asiatravel.com/manila/subic.html

So we had not choice but go somewhere else where we will be accomodated and the beachfront is nice. Welcome to Ocean View Park, its closer than White Rock and just a couple minutes after you leaving the Subic, Clark Freezone property.
