Vista Tala: Home Away from Home

Image
We just recently went to Vista Tala in Bataan. Another place we found perfect to de-stress and unwind from the busy life we all have at work. With just 3 1/2 to 4 hrs away from Manila, Vista Tala is situated almost at the top of the mountain that's why you expect a really cold weather and a very poor if not no signal at all - perfect if you want to get away and relax for a period of time. We went there on weekday so there's actually not much people except for those that are there on a day tour. We were a bit late from their usual check-in of 2pm. Good thing they are not that strict in terms of check-in period. Since we arrived late, we decided to rest for a while and do some picture taking since its nearly sunset and the weather is getting a lot colder we opt to swim in the morning instead. Look at the view <3 You'll be provided with Wi-Fi Passwords but this only works when you are in the swimming pool area and not when you are inside the room. Ever...

Summer in Aquaria Beach Resort Batangas

Image
There is this not-so-new beach resort in Playa, Calatagan, Batangas named Aquaria Beach Resort. It is a 3-hour drive from Cavite.  It is a beautiful place perfect for a summer getaway. If you feel like swimming in the beach or by the pool, you may do so as they have both. This is what you'll see when you arrived in the place, This is the beach place. It is not too far away from the pool so you don't have to worry if you need to transfer from one place to another for the sake of the children that you brought with you who wants to swim in the pool instead. Just be careful because we saw two jellyfish in there, good thing we were not stung. Their pool. This is I think one of the highlight of the place. They have slides too for those who wanted to have some fun. The water is really made to look blue so its really picture perfect. You don't have to worry too because they have many shower rooms for those who are already finished dipping i...

Antipolo's Best Kept Luljetta's Hanging Gardens Spa

Image
Its been more than a year since I last updated my blog. A lot has happened by then. I focused more on my work, my boyfriend had worked overseas and a lot more. So when he came back, okay we're now back to our usual dates and mini adventures. :) Prior to him coming back, I was already looking for places that we can go. One recommendation I got was this place in Antipolo called Luljetta's Hanging Garden. Right after my boyfriend got enough rest and catching up with his family and friends, I booked a reservation right away.  We thought its a bit far knowing its Antipolo, and we're coming from Cavite. However, we got there faster than we thought we would. The place is already a bit famous in the area so no need to worry that they may take you somewhere else. We already paid the package that we got before going there. We were informed that there's really a lot of people who goes there on weekends so we might come there and get nothing out of it if we do walk-in. W...

Things to Remember when travelling to Hong Kong

Image
Hong Kong Trip on a Budget: We went to Hong Kong last November 21-23.; shortly after the APEC happened here in the Philippines. Our flight was 5:30am on Saturday. Thank goodness also our flight was not delayed. Cebu Pacific was our airlines then. We arrived at Hong Kong y 7:40am, it’s just a two-hour plane ride. The obligatory ticket and passport shot. Our passport cases are courtesy of Storage Solutions Okay, so here are the tips that I can suggest when you are a first timer in Hong Kong: 1. Exchange Peso to Hong Kong Dollars beforehand, or even right after you landed at the airport because you are gonna be needing it right then and there, especially if you plan to have your breakfast at the airport, or you need to buy your Octopus Card upon riding Bus or MTR. 2. When you are riding the bus, you sit next to the TV so you can track where you are already and what stop should you get down the bus. There is an operator who would sometimes speak the loading and unlo...

Museum Visit: Pinto Art Musem Antipolo

Image
So yesterday was me and the boyfriend's 33rd, and since it fell on a Saturday, we thought of celebrating. This is the first part of our celebration. We visited one of the becoming more and more famous nowadays museum, the Pinto Art Museum in Antipolo. The place was so beautiful and the paintings and art pieces for me are all very mysterious. If you are really into art, then you'll appreciate this place as much as we do. As you enter, you'll be directed straight towards the registration area where you should also pay the fee. P180.00 for the regular price and P100.00 for the student. When we got there the weather is starting to be in bad mood. The sky is already dark and the thunders are already roaring up there. Here are some of the photos that I can share to all of you. See for yourself how beautiful the place is. This is the second hall that we visited. There are a lot of art galleries in this place located in different places that's why th...
