Ilocos Tour (Vigan, Laoag, Pagudpud)

I always told myself that I want to travel and explore the world, so to start the adventure me and my friend went for a three nights two days tour in Ilocos last July of this year 2014.

It is an eight hours or more travel by land from Manila to Ilocos region. It is good to hit the road at night to avoid traffic in the Metro area. So basically, we just spend the whole ride sleeping to save energy and strength for the real fun. We arrived at Ilocos around six or seven in the morning.

Book Review: Fifty Shades Trilogy: The Depth of the Story by E L James

I am a book lover, a book worm. Most of the books that I have read are fictional, more on mystery side, detective stories sort of when I am still studying. I have passion in reading but when I got a job and divert my attention to something else I stop reading. I want to retrieve my hobby in reading so I started reading again.

Out of curiosity I started reading Fifty Shades of Grey. I ask my office mate if I can borrow the book. Yes, the book genre is not the type of book I usually read, but here is for a change. It is erotic romance, yes, at it says on the back cover it is for MATURE AUDIENCE. 

Book Review: Three Wishes by Barbara Delinsky

Three Wishes

Barbara Delinsky

Are you a wish maker? Do you wish upon at the first sight of evening first star, on pulling on the long end of the turkey wishbone, in secret notes written on birch bark and tossed onto campfire, and of course, over birthday candles?

If you have three wishes what would it be?

"Touching and delightful"

February 22, 2013

Start the week with a blast. We found a great deal to spend our Friday going places. We travel 10:00 pm of Thursday going to the pick up point in Greenbelt 1. Time of departure is exactly 2:00 am in the morning of Friday. We arrive at Greenbelt 1 at 12:00 midnight and spent the rest of the time at McDonald. It is a rainy night, we wish for a clear sky but the rain did not stop. There was no storm reported in the area but the weather did not cooperate. So yeah it is a rainy getaway. The travel time from Makati to Clark is quite long it took us 3-hrs to arrive at the venue, good thing there is no traffic. Our group is compose of families, group of friends and mostly couples since it is a post Valentine deal.
