mySpot | Early Summer in Baler

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.

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.

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.

Check out some of the pics on my facebook page.

mySpot | La Vista Pansol Resort Laguna

Too late for a summer post entry?? 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...

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...

Getting there is very easy, we just took a bus ride from Manila (Buendia) which costs us Php 87.00 (just tell the bus driver to drop you off at La Vista Pansol.. they know where it is..) Then a 5-minute tricycle ride (costing Php 40.00) going to the resort...

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... promoting?? no i'm not... :p

mySpot | Boracay Trip 2011

Ok... 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.

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.

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...

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...

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

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...

should you want to see my photos, you might wanna check out my fb albums... thanks!

mySpot | Puerto Galera Summer Getaway

It's summer time!!! An one of the things we usually do during these times is go on a vacation trip, swimming, and a lot more things to do...

Last weekend, Finally!!!, I made my first visit to the famous Puerto Galera - one of the hottest (not the temperature) summer destinations in the country. Yes! I was there over the weekend...

Oh well, I got excited, of course, who wouldn't be.. But i was kinda disappointed when I saw the place... A lot of establishments were in place and it's kinda ruining the beauty of the place... But i did enjoy...

It was an another opportunity for me to shoot places, things and people... I just love taking pictures... And once again, my favorite subject.. my usual photo subjects, the boats... that's the only thing I saw there.. well not really, but i enjoyed taking pics from those boats...

I also tried again riding the banana boat.. It's an all-time favorite activity... Unfortunately I wasn't able to do the snorkeling thing due to limited time there but I know I'll be back..

I tried practicing long-exposure shots at night but then I got bored 'coz i saw a lot of parties happening everywhere... I can say this is gonna be one of the best short-time vacation trips I ever had...

I do have more photos on my fb account... I'm just going to share some of the shots I liked from my set... I promised myself I'll be back again on this place... soon.. maybe after i fixed my schedule.. Still have a lot of places to visit.. I want to try diving too...

mySpot | Last Event for Summer 2010

Too late for the post? Nah! I'm just 1 week delayed for this.

Well, before the summer ended, I did enjoy the rest of it on a 2-days non-stop fun and excitement. The first one was the road trip to Tagaytay (previous post) and then we had this trip to Nagcarlan Laguna.

Thanks to Tita Nitz (Rachel's Mom) for inviting me on this trip. I was able to visit and see the fascinating beauty of the Nagcarlan Church and the nature as well.

We went to the market first thing in the morning, and while they were there buying food and stuff, che-che and I sneaked out to visit the church and had this photo taken... Then we visited some relatives of (I forgot the name of the choir member) and had breakfast... Then finally, our destination... (Again, I forgot the name of the resort).. But it was a batis although there are pools, the water still came from the river and it was so cold...

The water was so refreshing and very relaxing... Hmm.. Then we ate a lot, had jump shots and we just swim all day. Lucky for me, i didn't get sunburn. Thanks to ate for the sunblock... Anyway, we really had so much fun....

And before the trip ends. we attended the Sunday mass at the Nagcarlan church. On our way home, we tried our best not to sleep (even though we felt very sleepy) so that tita nitz won't fell asleep while driving. Too bad, I wasn't able to tell che-che the 1001 jokes I had, i only executed 50 of it...

Well, that's how my summer ended. Thank you for reading although it's not very interesting. Thanks!
