the Wanderess from the South

Situated around 5000 ft above sea level, you'll find the chilly Sagada, and it's one of the closest thing to heaven (literally. haha) HOW TO GET HERE: Disclaimer: I was kidnapped and didn't know we were headed to the mountains, hence, I was only wearing a cami. (Thank goodness, I decided to pair it up with a jacket tied to my waist for the sake of fashion!) Do bring jackets or thicker clothes when you go here during wet season, which is from November to February. Breathtaking, spine chilling view! haha PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION Via Baguio - You can ride a bus from Pasay, Cubao, Sampaloc or Caloocan,which will take approximately 5-6 hours and costs 450 ++ pesos per way.

Who's up for some fun?  Now I've been bugging my boyfriend for so many months for him to take me to this place.  I think this is seriously the best place to get wet on a valentines day *wink! wink!* Laresio offered a promo for Valentine's Day, and we took advantage of the "All Wet Activities" package. Altho we only went there a day after Vday, which was actually great, since the place wasnt that crowded, as it usually is. That day, we basically owned every spot we wanted (except for the rooms, of course). and so we had kayaking for warm up.. Kaya-queen! Hahaha and this trapeze (vine swing) is so much fun, it'll remind you of the good ol' days when you would sneak out of your house to join your friends sa tabing ilog. splash! the place also offers 2 cliff dive spots - 13 and 32 ft jump; the slip and dive slide, a water polo, basketball in the pool, a swing where you can jump straight to the lake, a balsa rafting, and a spot

This sanctuary is a protected area opened back in January 1991 to help preserve and manage marine resources. Looc is from the Filipino word "look" (pronounced as lo-ok), which means "bay". It is located in Tablas Island, which is actually the largest among Romblon group of Islands. Here's our suggested itinerary, with day 1 coming from Romblon Island: READ:  Marble-lous Romblon DAY 2 TABLAS ISLAND 06:30am - 07:30am breakfast 07:30am - 08:45am boat ride from Romblon Port to San Agustin port Once you get to San Agustin port, you will be met by locals offering tours and transpo around Tablas Island. If you're planning to go DIY, you can wait for a jeepney bound for Looc, which will take more than 2hours since it's a public transport and cost you P100. Option 1 aka the cheaper option  08:45am - 09:00am wait for jeep headed to Odiongan, merienda (there are stores near the port) 10:50am - ETA Odiongan jeep terminal        

I luckily had the chance to take advantage of 2go's "5piso fare" (however you wanna call it) and managed to grab round trip tickets from Batangas to Romblon for just 560 pesos! And if you manage to snag a deal as great as that, here's a few tips so you can fully enjoy this awesome island... Romblon is an archipelagic province in the Philippines that belongs to MIMAROPA Region, and has 3 main islands: Romblon , Tablas , and Sibuyan. ( See also:   Blast in Tablas!  - DIY travel guide ) How To Get To Romblon By sea. Aside from 2go, Montenegro Lines also has Batangas-Odiongan routes via Batangas Port. There are other smaller shipping lines that offer trips, and you can just check it once you get to Batangas Port. People coming from Roxas or Caticlan may also ride ferries. Manila to Romblon Ride a bus bound for Batangas Port which should take more or less two hours and would cost you somewhere around 130-150 pesos depending on the bus line and your location

So the gang decided to chill out and head to Rizal this time, because duh, puro nalang Laguna. Haha! HOW TO GET HERE You may ride an FX with Tanay route, then alight at Tanay Public Market Transport Terminal and look for the tricycle terminal for Batlag/Daranak Falls. They should be easy to spot because the tricycle terminal is just beside the FX terminal. That’s Php 200/trip, min/max of 4pax. (that DEPENDS on the driver; my friends went there, composed of 7pax, excluding the driver, and they managed to squeeze their butts in just 1 tric!) (im going to update this once I get to know how much they paid!) Tricycle drivers will drop you off at the main entrance. BATLAG FALLS ENTRANCE FEE: Adults: P100 Children: P50 You’re gonna have to cross a hanging bridge, then start trekking on a cemented footpath which should take around 15 minutes. i came straight from night shift and didnt bother to change clothes, excuse me 😊 True or Falls? You’ll be surp
