<br />
Two weeks ago, I received an invitation from a friend to go on a trip to Legazpi, Albay and see the whalesharks in Donsol. Without hesitation (<i>but just a few questions</i>) I said Yes!
<br />
However, due to unforeseen circumstances, I ended up traveling solo for four days in Legazpi. Haha!<br />
I stayed in Mayon Backpacker's Hostel in Legazpi which saved me a lot of money...
<br />

Since I have no plans, I just googled what to do while I'm there. I managed to visit Cagsawa Ruins, Daraga Church, Embarcadero Mall, Sto. Domingo Church (next town from Albay) and a lot more without spending more. I just asked questions. Also, I was able to go to Donsol, Sorsogon just to have lunch. Lols.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
While I was there, I went to SmallTalk Restaurant/Cafe and tried one of their famous dishes, Bicol Express Pasta. It's a little bit spicy but it tastes good. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I also went to the town of Sto. Domingo where you can see the old church and black-sand beaches. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Although this trip was unplanned, I only spent Php 2000 for the whole trip of 4 days and 3 nights. How awesome is that!</div>

This year is definitely a year not to forget. Being able to travel to different places with different people really amazes me. Finally, another item on my bucket list has been crossed out. Paris!<br />
<br />
Before going back home after a trip in Germany, sure I wouldn't miss this majestic place I always see on the movies and on pictures. It's time to see them with my own eyes. And truly the wonders of these things are hard to forget.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
One day in Paris is too short to enjoy everything but that is the only time we have since we need to catch a train and a plane back in Germany going home so might as well enjoy the best of it.<br />
<br />

It was good and you will the Holiness inside especially when there is a mass... Then we walked to the Louvre Museum. But before that, I think we have a few stops to eat and see the Pantheon, and of course, to take photos. There are buses and trains going around the city but we prefer to walk.<br />
<br />

We had a short tour inside Louvre to see the famous Mona Lisa (<i>not as big as what I expected</i>) and Venus de Milo and some other statues from the Greek times... We also passed the Pont de l'Archevêché and see the lovelocks along the bridge.<br />
<br />
After that, we have a few stops along the souvenir shops to buy some stuffs and finally, we went to see the Eiffel Tower. It was awesome during night. It actually looks better with the lights on. Then we went to see the Arc de Triomphe and it was bigger than what I expected. Haha! To end our night, we walked along the streets of Champs-Élysées and enjoy the rest of the trip.<br />

First trip to Europe! Hopefully not the last... It was one awesome adventure in Rome where I saw all the things I only see in books and from the Internet.<br />
<br />
Went to visit the Vatican and I event saw the Pope. Walked all day within the city to see all amazing places... Also had a great meal on of the restaurants there... My one day trip to Rome (actually overnight stay) is the best so far :)<br />
<br />
Some funny experience I've got is my first time to ride the RyanAir from Nurnberg to Pisa. It was my first time to experience a plane ride where you don't make seat reservation but you get to choose where to seen once you are boarding the plane! How's that! hahaha<br />
<br />
One great experience. Check out my fb profile for more pics :)<br />

Studying Korean Language wouldn't be complete if I will not test myself to go Seoul. I'm not an expert though but still I learned the basics. After watching endless Korean-Novelas (TV Series) and listening to songs, I decided that I wanted the real thing. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Though I'm not a big fanatic of KPop unlike my other friends, it's just it is one of the places I wanted to visit on my bucket list. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Traveling alone has been my challenge to myself and so far I am enjoying it. It's my second time to visit another country alone and it was really difficult because of the language difference but it was fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Despite of all the problems I encountered getting there and while being there, I still managed to enjoy my trip and meet new friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
However, it was the wrong timing when I went there. It was the summer season and it was hot. But it was also fun since I get to visit the places I only see on TV. I must say I will be definitely going back to this place on another season. </div>

If there's one thing I learned on this recent trip that I had with a few friends, it's that your itineraries should be flexible and interchangeable if possible.<br />
<br />
Me and my friends went to Davao and Surigao del Sur to check out some jaw-dropping spots in Davao and Surigao del Sur. Also, it was my first couchsurfing experience.<br />
<br />
We (<i>they</i>) already had planned our activities ahead of time, though I arrived earlier to spend a few days in Davao City (<i>that explains Day -1 and Day 0 on the itinerary</i>). Unfortunately we missed our bus and suddenly everything changed <i>(except the destinations</i>)...<br />
<br />
Good thing we have a GPS-enabled phones, a few contacts on some places, and just enough pocket money to move from one place to another. It was pretty hard at first but the experience and the adventure was priceless.<br />

An unexploited piece of paradise waiting to be found.<br />
<br />
Crystal clear water and fine sands awaits you there. Plus you also get a chance to swim with a few jellyfish... :P (<i>Don't worry, they don't sting</i>) I also got a chance to climb up on one of the islands to get a nice view on top.<br />
<br />
We stayed on La Entrada Resort and Restaurant though there are other lots of nice resorts to choose within the area.<br />
<br />
It is easy to get there whether you're coming from Davao or Butuan, or Surigao... just take any bus or van that will pass San Antonio in Surigao del Sur... make sure you tell the driver you need to get off at Salvacion (<i>sure they know that</i>) and it's just one tricycle or <i>habal-habal</i> ride away...<br />

A few weeks before the holy week, I received an invite from a friend asking me to come with her on a trip to Kalinga. Without even checking where exactly to go or what to expect, I said yes told her that I'm okay with it.<br />
<br />
A few days before trip, I browsed some of the stuffs from the blogs on the internet but I really didn't paid much attention. I just want it to be surprising.<br />
<br />
We took an 8-hour bus ride (not sure if it was longer due to traffic) to Banaue. Then from Banaue, it was an hour or more going to Bontoc. I'm not sure if it was the last trip but we took a jeepney ride from there going to Tinglayan. I guess it was the longest three-hour-ride I had since I wasn't sitting comfortably going there but instead I was standing, hanging on the edge of the jeep under the burning heat of the sun.<br />
<br />
We arrived late in the afternoon so our tour guide decided not to push through going to Buscalan since it would get dark very soon. He said it might be dangerous. Instead, stayed overnight in Tinglayan. We decided to go and swim to the river and on our way back, we drank coffee on someone's house. It was very sweet. Perfect drink for the weather.<br />
<br />
We woke up early next morning and prepared to trek to Buscalan, the place where Fang-od lives. We got on a jeepney going up there and then trekked for more than an hour (<i>with our bags.. heavy bags</i>).<br />
<br />
I won't get into much details on what happened there as it was pretty much awesome. We met the locals, others got their tattoos, I took a lot of photos, met new people and friends, enjoyed the view and other stuffs too.<br />
<a name='more'></a><!----more--><br />
Unfortunately, we didn't get to stay overnight at Fang-od's house since it was already full. Lucky for us, we stayed at someone else's house (<i>related to Fang-od</i>) who was very welcoming and hospitable. Thanks to Ate Evha (<i>with 'h'</i>) who prepared us a very delicious dinner and breakfast which she didn't shared the secret ingredients why it tasted really delicious.<br />
<br />
We met Fang-od, the traditional tattoo artist who seemed to be quite famous there. We also met her grandchild (grandchild of her sister), Grace, who happens to be doing the tattoos also. It's good that she is working to maintain their culture and traditions.<br />
<br />
I didn't get a tattoo. I'm just happy to be there and happy to take pictures of almost everything. That's all I wanted.<br />
<br />
Life there is very simple. Before you get there you have to set your expectations aside, leave it at home and just wait for whatever comes in front of you. Though it might be very hard because of the language barrier but you'll be surprised to meet a few who can speak Tagalog or even English aside from your tourguide/interpreter.<br />
<br />
We gave matches, candles, canned goods to our host and candies for the kids. I love it when kids comes near and they only speak one word, "Candy". Though I'm not sure why but they pretty much appreciated matchsticks up there. But be sure to bring a lot if you are planning to get up there.<br />
<br />
The most memorable moment there when Fang-od asked me if I got a tattoo (<i>though I really didn't understand what she said but her actions showed what she meant</i>). When I said no and that I didn't get any, she just laughed and smiled at me.<br />
<br />
When we left, we trekked down for (<i>I'm not sure if</i>) more than two hours to get to the main road and good thing we quickly got to a jeepney going back to Bontoc. We had our goodbyes with the people and friends we met. It was a really nice stay there.<br />
<br />
I like travelling. I like to travel to get a lot of pictures and meet new people. But this is nothing like travelling to go on a vacation. This one is different, immersing yourself with the people, the culture, and the traditions. If there was one thing I learned from this trip, it's that we can live our lives with all the simplicity we could have. We don't need to ask for more than anything else as long as we live happily with our friends and family. We don't need to expect more but just accept what is given to us. It's just as simple as that.<br />
<br />
You can check out my facebook page to see some of the photos I had during our trip. Thanks!<br />

My mom and dad has been planning this trip so long ago.
Though we had cancelled booked flights to Cagayan De Oro twice already, either
due to bad weather, schedule conflicts and financial issues.. but most of the
time, it's the bad weather... lols... Anyway, finally, we were able to make it.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We planned this trip to Dumaguete since late last year to
visit my father's relatives and siblings in Dumaguete. I really don't know why
I booked our flight to Cebu, but then we still found a way to get there.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our six-days vacation was tiring yet awesome and most of it
were spent on road travelling. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We spent 2 days in Cebu before we headed to Dumaguete by
Bus. I thought we will be staying in Dumaguete City for a while, but after our
5-hour bus ride (including the ferry transfer), we took another bus going to
Siaton, one of the municipalities in Negros Oriental, to visit our aunt and
stayed there for a night.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The place was quite quiet and simple and a typical province
setting. We stayed on this hostel which I found so creepy that later they told
me it was more than 50 years old already and it used to be something else
before it was slightly renovated to become a hotel. I didn't get that much
sleep fearing I'd be eaten by the bed so as soon as the sun came out, we checked
out and went back to my aunt's house.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I know I have to spend time with my relatives but I wouldn't
want to miss the chance to check out some of the tourist spots there. We took a
30-minute motorbike ride to the Lake Balanan which is quite nice... and there
are some other places too that we checked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Later that afternoon, we went to Sta. Catalina to visit my
father's last remaining aunt. It was really nice meeting our other relatives. I
think that was more than an hour ride from the bus getting there from Siaton. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next day, we went to Giligaon, a town where my father
grew up. They told me I've been there when I was four years old but I barely
remember anything except some blurred images of the ocean, and a house. We
mostly visited our relatives and spent the night there. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next day, we have to leave to head back to Cebu since
our flight to Manila is from there. The bus ride was really tiring but the
scenery along the way takes off the stress. I was also able to see the bellfrie
in Dumaguete and Siliman University and also the Rizal Boulevard since the bus
passed through it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our last day in Cebu was spent buying pasalubong and we
visited the Shrine of Saint Pedro Calungsod.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wish I could spend more time visiting more places there if
time permits and if i still have credits, but definitely we might go back next
year.<o:p></o:p></div>

It's only the month of February and I've been to the beach already. Starting the summer early with a group of friends as we head to Baler to visit the beach and to learn and try surfing.<br />
<br />
Great views and adventure awaits just six hours away from Manila. Extra challenges on your way to the Ditumabo MotherFalls, climb the 600+ year old Balete Tree, and some cool places to check out inside the town.<br />
<br />
It's really a challenge to cross the sea and get to the nearby island with your camera and phone but the taking the risk is truly rewarding once you get there.<br />
<br />

Finally got my planner for 2013. Hopefully, I could write something on it.<br />
<br />
I got the black one (<i>others are green and white</i>) and a pen which is separately sold. :(<br />
<br />
But the nice thing about this one is that it has a magnetic bookmark, a postcard (which I don't know what to do for now), and some suggestions on activities to do on certain days.. cool huh?<br />
<br />
However, I already have another planner/notebooks from KCC which I wanted to use too for my studies...<br />
<br />
Anyway, just sharing :)<br />

To end the list of my out-of-town vacations this year, Me and a few friends went to visit Sagada up north in the Mountain Province.<br />
<br />
A whooping 11-hour bus ride (6 hours from Manila to Baguio and 5 hours from Baguio to Sagada) to get there and experience the beauty of nature far (very far) away from the city and relax and enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime adventure. But don't worry about the travel duration, you'll pretty much enjoy the scenic view from the bus so you might wanna sit on the window side.<br />
<br />

<br />
And how's the weather in Sagada? Amazing! If you're used to the hot weather in the cities of the Philippines, things are way different up there. Cold breeze, quiet streets, cold breeze (again?), and don't forget the view, sunflowers everywhere.<br />
<br />
We stayed at Misty Lodge Hotel just 10-minutes from the town-proper. (Though according to my sports-tracker, it took us 20 minutes normal healthy-walk from the town proper to our hotel... but still we had a nice enjoyable moment walking there). It was a great place to stay. They have their own fireplace, nice interior, great food, and to sum it up, it's pretty much awesome!<br />
<br />
We also took the different adventures Sagada has to offer. Cave connection, we did spelunking, rappeling, trekking, and a lot of walking. I did noticed that I lost some weight when I got back home. Anyway, it was really great to be there. We also went to some big falls and smaller falls, and the rice terraces, and the hanging coffins, and whew.. there are still a lot on the list... Better check it yourself.<br />

When it comes to food, Sagada has a lot to offer. Aside from walking everyday, one of the many things we did there was to eat... a lot... And I really mean it. No need to worry on your budget because the prices are very reasonable and it's not very expensive.<br />
<br />
Words really can't describe our experience in Sagada. It was such an enjoyable adventure. Riding on the top of the jeepney, took a ride on a motor bike at 11 pm to find some booze, 5-hour cave connection adventure, meeting new friends, trekking, and a lot more...<br />

One of the highlights in my Leyte Vacation was that overwhelming (skin-burning) whole day motor cycle tour to the southern part of Leyte. And thanks to my Nanay Luz for bringing me to what they say now as The Longest Zip Line in the Philippines on the tallest bridge which is also in the country.<br />
<br />
We started our journey in Abuyog riding a single motorcycle going to Silago. Then to Hinunangan, San Juan, passed thru the mountains of St. Bernard, going up to Sogod, then we reached the Agas Agas Bridge where the zip line is located. Check the map screen shot below for the route.<br />

Of course we had a few (<i>actually, there were plenty</i>) stop overs and we have to refill the gas and we have to rest also. Once we got there, it was in the middle of the mountainous regions of Sogod, Leyte.<br />
<br />
Before you can go try out the zip line (and the cable car), you have to pay Php 5.00 (five) pesos for the entrance fee (<i>what?!</i>) And then ticket for the zip line was about (<i>darn, I forgot</i>) 150 or 200 Pesos per ride.<br />

The zip line ride was very exciting, (<i>better than the ones i had before</i>), and it was about 50 - 60 seconds long... and that was very fast... and one of the best part of it is that you'll get to have a nice top view of the Agas Agas Bridge.<i> </i>During the ride, I was holding my phone to take a video and it was very scary but it was fun. I'll post the video soon.<br />
<br />
Since the distance is from the starting point to the end of the zip line is kinda very long, there will be a motorcycle service that will lead you back to the top again.<br />
You'll also find a few souvenir shops selling t-shirts and a few stuffs, snacks and drinks (<i>word to the wise: be careful when buying snacks, foods, or drinks...actually i don't know why, but they just told me to avoid it...</i>) <br />
<br />
Oh. Did I forgot to mention that getting there is not that very easy... Commuting is NOT an option. It's either you have your own vehicle or you can arrange a trip there with the local tourist guides while in the city .<br />
<br />
Attached is the map below where the purple spot is the location of the Agas Agas Bridge. <br />

Last week, I went to visit our province in Abuyog Leyte. The last time I've been here was about three years ago with my family and this is my first time to go alone.<br />
<br />
Thanks to my titos and titas, I am able to visit different places here. Of course, I enjoyed taking photos of the scenery and some other stuffs.<br />
<br />
You can check out more of my photos on my facebook page. :)<br />

One of the highlights on my Bangkok Vacation is going to Ayutthaya, a city in Thailand, somewhere north of Bangkok. This old city also has a lot of historical parks.<br />
<br />
Going there was also challenging too since I am not familiar with the place and the language and I only have a printed instruction on how to get there plus GPS on my phone.<br />
<br />
There are several ways to get there.. I almost got lost trying one of them but I think this one is the best way to reach Ayutthaya City. From Bangkok, go to the Victory Monument and the station where mini vans are parked... (<i>somewhere north east part if you are holding a map)</i>. These mini vans go straight directly to Ayutthaya though it has a few stopovers along the way, don't worry because your destination is the last stop. I paid around 60 Baht. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Then from there, you have a lot of options to choose since the city is quite big. You can ride tuktuk to go to different places, rent bicycles or motorbikes.. and there are some who offer private tours in cars.. (<i>i choose the private tours in cars since i'm only traveling alone.. though it was quite scary at first, i think it's safe...</i>)<br />
<br />
After the tour, i asked my tour guide to bring me to the Bus station where I can take the bus going back to Bangkok. Going back to Bangkok is just the same as how you get there...<br />
<br />
I only had a few photos in my album because it was sooo hot when i got there.. almost past 12 noon.. So I guess it's better to visit in morning or in afternoon.. :) <br />

When you ask me what are the places that I wanted to visit, Bangkok would probably be on the last of my list... Maybe because of the movies that I watch or from the stories that I heard.<br />
<br />
Well I don't know what happened but it seems my perspective about Bangkok changed.<br />
<br />
Last June 5, I went to visit Bangkok for vacation... It was a challenging vacation because I know I'm going to a place where people speaks a different language... They speak English too but I really don't know what happened to my tongue and ears... lols...<br />
<br />
Well it was kinda similar to where I live except for the different fonts (lols) on posters, billboards and ads... plus the weather is too hot... The food is great and the people are very friendly... I was also able to ride tuktuk, and the motorcyle ride was a little bit dangerous driving around the high way, but it was awesome!<br />
<br />
And did I forget to mention I went there by myself... Yes... forever alone.. lols.. that's why it was kinda difficult but still I enjoyed.<br />
<br />

After visiting the beautiful place of Coron, Palawan, now I wanted to go back there again.<br /><br />In just 4 days, we enjoyed the breathtaking views of Coron and wonderful islands during our trip.<br /><br />I've been in Puerto Princesa too and although both are in Palawan, there's a very big difference between the two. PPS is more like commercialized than Coron, which makes me like Coron more...<br /><br />For nature lovers, you can have your best times to be spent here... Watch the sunset at the top of Mt. Tapyas... Relax in Maquinit hot spring... Eat fresh sea foods and enjoy the place... You can also do diving at the shipwrecks and enjoy the view underwater.. Don't forget the camera so you won't miss anything...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9OL9prCCBeEK2CfEkjF9unPhFwgCjNv4tFbyIZ-qIzX424FnFgj925aIQtb08f9OcT8hhkz94XH4zaNHz1TIio4Wqd8sW-r-d-NS_8c5wnYLqKQF2q-YIRlayIQjdjt_4m1r7fH8tg3bA/s1600/Coron+Palawan+%252810%2529.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 0px 0px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 159px; height: 114px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9OL9prCCBeEK2CfEkjF9unPhFwgCjNv4tFbyIZ-qIzX424FnFgj925aIQtb08f9OcT8hhkz94XH4zaNHz1TIio4Wqd8sW-r-d-NS_8c5wnYLqKQF2q-YIRlayIQjdjt_4m1r7fH8tg3bA/s200/Coron+Palawan+%252810%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679296245681566354" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3EIP5hqQt2N5R7ir_pYNklD1PoqrPrykz2lCZJa5HQ3sW5P_URKR9OK9EaSjf4mS74jDTrEm-QxyIJYGyyAuW56rJOHBL-fMyotPF303nPjZn1Dcr9jxQvlDX4P_nJuupaKHqqRZ2ARvy/s1600/Coron+Palawan+%25281%2529.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 0px 0px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 159px; height: 114px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3EIP5hqQt2N5R7ir_pYNklD1PoqrPrykz2lCZJa5HQ3sW5P_URKR9OK9EaSjf4mS74jDTrEm-QxyIJYGyyAuW56rJOHBL-fMyotPF303nPjZn1Dcr9jxQvlDX4P_nJuupaKHqqRZ2ARvy/s200/Coron+Palawan+%25281%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679296243040438866" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgrprzDitV5KD-Dr9FzHUyocScTz-Ru4SIC8pcZ3OnK_1IuDB0eY9Xq4445TyG-MaR39lTdSTAXAa6q9wudm0MLzrvF103omN2V6HiMKQ7P06hVBk0RTRFBokdNa2RDCj2ELVDBt-DwZKv/s1600/sunset+at+coron+palawan.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 0px 0px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 159px; height: 114px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgrprzDitV5KD-Dr9FzHUyocScTz-Ru4SIC8pcZ3OnK_1IuDB0eY9Xq4445TyG-MaR39lTdSTAXAa6q9wudm0MLzrvF103omN2V6HiMKQ7P06hVBk0RTRFBokdNa2RDCj2ELVDBt-DwZKv/s200/sunset+at+coron+palawan.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679296242918442306" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Now I really don't know what to write here..

Well, not really... This is just where I went during the long weekends for this month of October 2011. Me and some of officemates went to La Vista Pansol Resort Laguna to relax, have fun, and enjoy...<br /><br />It's been years since I visited a public pool and this one is kinda different... Since it's not summer, there are only a few people in there. The place is also big... lots of spaces everywhere...<br /><br />Getting there is very easy, we just took a bus ride from Manila (<em>Buendia</em>) which costs us Php 87.00 (<em>just tell the bus driver to drop you off at La Vista Pansol.. they know where it is..) </em>Then a 5-minute tricycle ride (<em>costing Php 40.00</em>) going to the resort...<br /><br />The place is so good and very perfect for different types of events, like team buildning, company outing, they also have multi-purpose halls. Plus they have their own zip-line and a mini-zoo if you want to see some live animals :p The rates are not very expensive and they have different types of rooms to stay... <em>promoting?? no i'm not... :p</em><br /><a name='more'></a><br />It also has a nice view of some mountains and if you're a nature lover, you'll definitely enjoy the place.. There are a lot of trees, there are some quiet areas if you seek peace and relaxation...<br /><br />Unlike my other posts here, i'm not saying i'm definitely going back here.. There are a lot of places i still want to try visit.. But if you haven't been here, you should try it IF you are looking for some places just to spend over the weekend or just want to swim, or relax.. i don't know.. it's up to you.. i'm just saying this place is a good one..<br /><br />Unfortunately, I didn't brought a camera with me so some pics here were just taken from my Phone.. :D<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYAw7SQnJWSisw8wPMGzfRvbxLay8DWJKM6HT37rEqdsmWSEMhzCHM5MrqpbWNoV3Xr50OnZqB1QE1DLgnmnQXiQnE1dp7d7kxLcDCrd1K5i07VZKYrd_b1SmSAcayYisIfm5eRR4rkRrR/s1600/la+vista+pansol+2011+-+05.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669980334440413154" style="FLOAT: left;

I should have written this post while I was still there. That's why i brought a laptop with me so that i could sit in front of the beach and write this blog entry.<br /><br />Anyway, ok.. finally, i was able to set my foot to this place I always wanted to go. And all I can say is that the place is so beautiful, great view, nice beaches.. Perfect vacation destination... Oh yeah.<br /><br />And oh! By the way, before I forgot, I came here alone... yup.. only me and no one else... and what's interesting is that this is my first time to visit the place and also my first time to travel alone.. oh well.. I did survive the trip...<br /><br />It didn't bother me whether I walk alone in the white beach or eat meals by myself 'coz I'm used it to it. and besides, i just came here to take pictures and spend some time alone... lols...<br /><br />The place is so filled with foreigners, and most of them are Koreans. And while I was there, I thought I was somewhere else like in Jeju Island and felt like a stranger in my own country. But it was ok. It's like a practice if ever i decided to go international.. :p<br /><br />Oh well, I don't have anything else to say in here... to sum it up, i enjoyed, i took pictures, i had fun, i met new people, the experience is awesome... and like i always say, i'm definitely going back to this place too...<br /><br />should you want to see my photos, you might wanna check out my fb albums... thanks!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe_MGFtKRAaXROnGT137o8JhChjAW_-Q201LrSsNxEFEnJaueuZSGPTcXVkQS_4rPMxr6DioIHjVx0A5pWHJQ914WF69nrQPADjSMA2eOwJEpaH3Wf0uJuTN97LxzR1Ktntk2c6Nqwfypb/s1600/7.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 0px 5px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 159px; height: 114px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe_MGFtKRAaXROnGT137o8JhChjAW_-Q201LrSsNxEFEnJaueuZSGPTcXVkQS_4rPMxr6DioIHjVx0A5pWHJQ914WF69nrQPADjSMA2eOwJEpaH3Wf0uJuTN97LxzR1Ktntk2c6Nqwfypb/s200/7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655918503712339602" border="2" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYISc6lC2zrfEdIq0FaTH6oF1x8Rn8cuqWI78QBzgKfIg8Y_f82aYvlsCIuCaH_UO3g7xBunKOtaFn9Y9fzfvrctZ8rqeDItA3haqK2M1Oiumt2DuSU0j99q7B8OkwH6W5_8VBIkYTPtny/s1600/6.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 0px 5px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 159px; height: 114px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYISc6lC2zrfEdIq0FaTH6oF1x8Rn8cuqWI78QBzgKfIg8Y_f82aYvlsCIuCaH_UO3g7xBunKOtaFn9Y9fzfvrctZ8rqeDItA3haqK2M1Oiumt2DuSU0j99q7B8OkwH6W5_8VBIkYTPtny/s200/6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655918499725786258" border="2" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwB8HtNSMuW6-dAM6sFlVa9Ie0ASBO82QTSlLl-9fpralP5smVchcIzqpRsXkC_nDtiIfaQHUXc3knc2biYt7_lwvugqO33mrTyYqSnF9RuHB1s1sSl0ZE2OdrfdBxoDn25YNXtQjAFJ3o/s1600/5.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 0px 5px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 159px; height: 114px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwB8HtNSMuW6-dAM6sFlVa9Ie0ASBO82QTSlLl-9fpralP5smVchcIzqpRsXkC_nDtiIfaQHUXc3knc2biYt7_lwvugqO33mrTyYqSnF9RuHB1s1sSl0ZE2OdrfdBxoDn25YNXtQjAFJ3o/s200/5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655918494791414034" border="2" /></a>Rachid Ianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02190278611720623479noreply@blogger.com0
