San Rafael River Adventure

            We found a beautiful paradise in our province, San Rafael River Adventure. I came here with my colleagues and we pretty much enjoyed a lovely day not too far from our home in a quiet, relaxing haven.

Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar: A Place of Historic Beautiful Houses

                This is where my father-in-law's been suggesting we go. Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar. A place of historical century-old houses brought from its original place to this park of beautifully restored ancient homes. Filipino elders would love visiting here, but of course the younger generations must also go because in an hour of heritage tour they are offering, one will see how our ancestors lived during the old days.

Great Time with Good Friends

         You know how it is when you stopped for too long and you want to be back. It's quite hard starting the first few lines and afterwards it gets natural already. That's how it is I suppose, when you really love writing, you will always come back to it. My husband actually asked me how my blog was because I suddenly stopped, lol. I guess when you've got too much in your hands, you'll get to spill a few then just pick it up later.

          This is quite a throwback since this happened sometime March when summer was just starting. T'was a birthday treat from a good friend spent at a condo overnight then we came malling the next day.

           This was a fun-filled day with my two bff's. Because we are girls-at-heart, we enjoyed swimming, malling and chatting 'til midnight.

Summer of 2016 at Phi Phi Beach Hotel

     We went on a beach trip at Morong, Bataan last March. There are several beach resorts and hotels to choose from but I was lucky enough to have chosen a good place to stay at PhiPhi Beach Resort and Hotel. I have a short memory and I can't remember what they call the room we slept in, but it was just near the beach front though it was not our view, but it was only a few steps away to see it. It was good for four and we just added Php500.00 for every additional person. We were like seven then.

 

   

         There's one big swimming pool and the other is a kiddie pool or you can choose to walk in the sand for a much larger swim at the beach.

        There's a place in the hotel where you can eat and bring food, and I highly suggest you bring your own because it takes forever for a plate of food to be served though there's a corkage fee of 100 per head, it's still "sulit." Our view here is the beautiful beachfront.

     This beautiful sunset has taken away all my stress.  I wish to be back at any beach right now. I swear.

The Beautiful Sunset at Morong Bataan

Summer is the best time of the year! Living in the tropics becomes paradise during this hot season. Everyone's packing up during holidays and weekends for a lovely road trip going to the Philippine beaches. Turned out it was my father-in-laws birthday last mid-March and my husband and I treated him and the family for a two-day, one-night beach trip. The beach we went to in Morong Bataan is situated where you can witness a sunset too beautiful, I wanna stay for a week of sunsets. lol.

 The fine sand is gray when dry but becomes black when wet.

I played sand with my two nephews while waiting for the sunset.

 The lovely waves of the beach during the afternoon was very inviting.

 Finally, the orange ball is now coming down.

 I captured the jump of my nephew making it looked like he's surfing.

Even when the sun has gone down and black has eaten the sky, we went back to the beach just sitting at the sand after dinner. We were there with other groups too and one has a big bonfire. Sadly, my camera can't capture darkness. But it was a refreshing experience, hearing the waves, the warm ocean breeze on our faces and the big bonfire in front of us. I regret not bringing my favorite mallows there.  I will be back, the long drive is always worth it!!

Flowers in the Mountain!

My last trip has filled my eyes with gorgeous flowers everywhere. But I didn't pick anything I swear! What I have with me now are photos and colorful memories.

 I adore this wall of plants. Surely these little things produce lots of oxygen while filtering our air by inhaling carbon dioxide.

 Dual Colors Petunia.

 Petunia bed.

 White and Dark Pink Petunias.

 Pink Petunias.

 Navy Blue Large Petunias. Just lovely.

 Colorful Petunias loving the cold weather.

 Dendrobiums circle this tree trunk.

 These are arrangements displayed at the Burnham park. The park was crowded when we were there because the yearly flower "Panagbenga" Festival was just a week away.

 I photobombed this beautiful heart shaped Poinsettias, sorry!

 Recycled materials used at the wall. Some are old cans painted in different colors, croc-like footwears and even a pair of old denims.

The old shoes turned into little pots are new to my eyes.

Sending kisses to ya'all! I had a lovely time. Flowers are my weakness.
