MT. DARAITAN,TINAPAK RIVER AND CAVE IN TANAY RIZAL

It was our second time to visit Tanay,Rizal as I said to my previous blog Tanay is full of marvelous nature attractions "at hindi nya talaga kami binibigo" tanay is not failing us so thumbs up :) 

We traveled for 1 hour and 45 minutes to Tanay,Rizal (I recommended to depart in manila early in the morning to avoid the traffic)  and another 2 hours to Barangay It wasn’t a smooth ride as well as the road going to Brgy. Daraitan was not yet paved. It was bumpy and butt-numbing and there were times wherein we need to go down of the tricycle and walk just for us to get through steep parts of the road. We haven’t reach the jump-off yet and we already felt the challenge. haha :)

we visited the Barangay hall for registration, requiring us a fee of php20 each.

The price of the hike is the view of the Tinipak River. The view was regrettably foggy when we were at the top as the rain started to pour down on us. But minus the fogginess, I'm sure the view would be lovely.

Climbing  became a bit difficult because of the weather. The steps were muddy and slippery and it was a really a challenge for all of us. 

Thankfully, the weather got better when we finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

its almost lunchtime when we reach the foot of the mountain we are all exhausted and hungry so we decided to have our brunch in eatery located at Tinapak river.

Lomi is their specialty here must try it guys :)

after we eat we visit Tinapak Cave so we started our trek yes you read it right wahahahah walang katapusan na paglalakad actually im really super duper tired because its my first time and wala akong exercise so i suggested to do your exercise before climbing for a first timer like me hehe :) adventure seekers will definitely love this place  On the way to this enchanting Tinipak cave is Deathtifying wall climbing, rappelling and rock climbing. Really, this place is packed with adrenaline rush activities :) back to tinapak cave unfortunately I was not able to take photos inside the cave beacuse its too dark and may camera is too cheap cant capture photos in the dark haha :)

after our long trekking heres our price swimming in tinapak river yehey relax time :)

BAYBAY LEYTE (DISCOVER THE BEAUTY OF LEYTE)

BayBay, Leyte a place of Discovery, Beauty and Serenity 

My boyfriend and her ate(big sister) invited me to visit their home town in Leyte ayoko sana sumama kasi magbubus lang daw kami sabi ko mag airplane na lang kami para mabilis yung biyahe and my boyfriend rejected me mas maganda daw magbus para mas exciting sus if I know nagtitipid lang sya haha :) imagine 24hours from Manila ang travel time and pwede pa magextend yun so I'm quite hesitant if i will go with him after a month of thinking I ended up coming with him hahaha and I didn't  regret it , I will tell you why :)

On are way to BayBay, were so lucky because we are able to take some photos to the famous San Juanico Bridge lol I know medyo malayo kami sa bridge hahaha because nagBustop lang kami and fortunately malapit ang signboard :)

every time we travel hindi pwede na hindi kami makakapagvisit sa church and super lucky namin because we are able to attend mass but unfortunately I was not able to understand most of the priest sermon because the mass is using Visayan Dialect but its ok I understand naman the summary of gospel :)    

Here are some photos taken in the seaside Promenade or Boulevard one of the landmark of Baybay 

who doesn't love cotton candy :) 

after the mass we took some photos on the boulevard and had our breakfast in Ciudad Coffee and Bar, here in coffee shop you can enjoy your meal with a touch of nature because in-front you can view the beauty of boulevard parang nasa Mall of asia ka lang hehe pero mas malinis syempre and hindi mabaho :) 

here in Baybay I found interesting mode of transportation like this tricycle that looks like a jeep haha hmmmm and Potpot(its like pedicab) I was able to ride but I was not able to take photos of it beacuse I forgot hehe cute pa naman :) 

Ancestral houses :)

                                                               

In front of my boyfriends house actually madami kang pwedeng gawin sun bathing, learn how to make dried fish ,watched sunset, swimming, boating and ect.:)

We also visited the famous VSU(Visca/Visayas State Collage of Agriculture) it is the only campus in Visayas accredited by department of Tourism as Tourist destination 

One of the best experience here in Leyte is to celebrate an advance birthday celebration of kuya Brian (my boyfriends Ate's husband) we really enjoyed it because bukod sa super ganda ng place super saya pa kasama ng family ni honey(my boyfriend) they treat us like their own family kaya super duper ako nagenjoy sa one week bakasyon na to super worth it ang 24 hours na biyahe kaya hindi ko talaga pinagsisisihan ang pagpunta namin dito :)

since hindi ako sexy picture na lang ni ate ilalagay ko hehe meet my beautiful and super sexy ate hehe :)

where in Aqua Azul Beach Resort pala located in Brgy. Bunga, it is the newest resort in Baybay hindi pa sya tapos pero maganda na sya :), their infinity pool boast a commanding view of the famous Baybay Sunset 
entrance fee: adult P40 kids P30
cottage P500
picnic table P200

SEA BREEZE RESORT & RESTAURANT IN TAGUIG BY COUPLE KURIPOT

Last Saturday April 25, 2015 My Aunt invited us to My cousin's birthday celebration, because it's already summer and it's super hot here in Philippines they decided to take us in one of the best resort within metro manila to beat the heat of summer.

My super cute cousin Ken Ken

My aunt decided na night swimming na lang because last holy week nasunog yung skin nila hahaha they dont want to happened it again :)

here are cottage :)

because we arrived late at the resort we don't have choice but to stay here in a cute cottage but its ok :) because we don't need a large cottage naman because we stayed at the pool area most of the time :) ,the cottage is a bit pricey because its peak season originally it's P500 but they charge us P800

entrance fee:

7am to 5pm adult P250 kid P200

7pm to 5am adult P300 kid P250

but again they charge us higher their rate siningil kmi ng P350

I'm a little bit disappointed about their pricing :) LOL even though hindi ako ang nagbayad :) 

for more inquiries visit their facebook page Sea breeze resort & restaurant

or call landline: 837-38-37

cellphone # 0922-834-26-833

The resort had 4 swimming pools (wavepool, kiddiepool,and 2 slide pools lol hindi ko alam tawag basta 2 pools may slide haha) however yung isang pool na may slide was scheduled for maintenance and chlorination and we are not able to use the slides during daytime lang daw pwede gamitin.

we enjoyed so much yung wavepool kahit di masyado malakas yung wave nya and may oras lang yung wave every one hour tapos 15 minutes lang sya hahaha but but but we really enjoyed it because wala lang that night kasi ang saya saya lang namin magpipinsan hahaha the secret para maging enjoy ka sa mga lakad  is maging masaya wag KJ (killjoy) just enjoy your trip, I enjoyed SUPER yung swimming namin we played pool games and nung nasa wavepool kami kahit may hindi kami kakakilala parang magkakakilala na din kasi tulakan but in fun way kulitan sobrang daming kulitan hindi ko alam kung paano ko sasabihin but one of my happiest day of my life thank you tita jeny and Kenken for inviting us :)

every Friday and Saturday night may Live bands sila na sobrang naenjoy ko rin not so powerful band but I don't know I enjoyed it also may be because we dance, kulitan unlimited and sobrang kulit ng mga ibang tao na nagswimming din that day and Im with my family kaya siguro sobrang enjoy :)

kahit na maliit lang cottage namin nakapagrest pa rin kami ng maayos nakatulog nga ata ako dito hehe :)

Based on our experience, the venue was good. It was nearer for customers located in Manila, actually much better than travelling to Laguna. Shower and comfort rooms were fine too, but Im a little bit disappointed about their pricing :)
