La la la la Mesa Adventure!

Spent my holiday at the La Mesa Ecopark with Dwight and Aia. :) Super saya! If you are looking for a cheap alternative place within the metro where you can commune with nature, dito kayo pumunta. The entrance fee is very affordable, P50 lang.
There are trails for biking, jogging and hiking.

And a more than a hundred steps stairway leading to the dam reservoir. More than a hundred din ang calories na-burn namin sa pagakyat!

There are also food stalls where you can buy food and drinks! But I suggest you to bring your own baon since hindi ganon kadami ang stalls at medyo may kamahalan ang ibang stalls.

What Aia and Dwight enjoyed most was the zipline!

While I almost cried trying it!

Me: Kuya ayaw ko na pala. Natatakot ako.
Kuya: Natatakot din po ako para sa inyo Ma'am, kaya umayos na kayo.
Aia: Go na! itutulak kita.
Me: Kuya ayaw ko na talaga, alisin mo na tong harness kase nagtitinginan na mga tao.
Kuya: Thank you sa 100 Ma'am. (mejo pikon na si Kuya)
Me: Ok lang. (with trembling knees)
Aia: Itulak mo na Kuya.
Kuya: Madali lang yan Ma'am, parang ganito lang. (sabay tulak!)



And there I go! Sobrang hawak sa tali! masaya pala sya, haha! Being an altophobic, sobrang proud ako kase nakaya ko! Hahaha!


Sobrang enjoy!A more healthful alternative to shopping malls.

Beach!!!

My first for this year...and maybe the last kase biglang tag-ulan na :(

Our 'team building' sa office at Munting Buhangin Beach Camp in Nasugbu, Batangas.

Aia definitely saved my day! Thanks! :)

What I like the most is that the beach is not too crowded compared to other public resorts.

I Love, Hate Summer

Huhuhu sobrang init na ng panahon. Kapag lumabas ka ng tanghaling tapat, dudugo ilong mo sa sobrang init. Di mo na alam kung saan ka magtatago lalo na pag weekends. Nakakatamad naman na magpunta lagi sa mall para lang magpalamig. Pano naman kung gusto mo lang magpahinga at humilata maghapon? Hay, I miss Baguio tuloy.
l
Hindi ito sa Boracay...
Ito, ay sa loob ng room namin sa apartment. Summer na summer talaga!!!
Sa kabilang banda, yey summer na!!! Beach, beach, beach, beach, beach and more beach!!! I can't wait to go the beach. Sana may loooooong vacation para makapunta ako ng beach. Pag wala, magli-leave ako sa work. Yey!!!
