Vacation in P.I.

Wondering where to go while visiting your loved ones in P.I.?
Here some hints and let me share to you my recent escapades from our native land.
I arrived in NAIA 16th of Nov.2009 with fear na baha pa ang dadatnan ko,but to all my surprised I was wrong.Unang sumalubong sa akin ay mga kababayan natin na parang di nakaranas ng devastation ng baha at malinis na kalye na fully decorated pa para sa pagsalubong ng pasko..As always mga excited at masasayang mukha ang makikita mo at very lively ang paligid.Sila yong mga taong they always make peace to the past so not to ruin their future o mga let bygone be bygone baga. Amazing character ha?
Ang problema lang as expected ay ang traffic at init.Compared naman to the country I just left (Canada) na -1 celsius ang lamig, mas gugustuhin ko ang init na nadatnan ko pansamantala.
Unang pinuntahan ko pagdating na pagdating…Kaymig sa may Roxas Blvd.,,mamimili ka muna sa wet market nila (stone’s throw)of the restaurant ,you can select like alimango,hipon ,tilapia ,isda na maraming klase at karne.liempo ang famous doon.then ipapaluto mo ..while seated(airconditioned room) and waiting for the food to be cooked you can have a sip of buko juice …hay sarraap.mga 3500 pesos lang for 8 people ang damaged ..may take out pa.
The next day na pinuntahan ko ay Hundred Islands ..o by the way my hometown is Lingayen Pangasinan. The price ng motor boat to rent is only 1000 pesos drop off and pick up bago mag sunset..2500 pesos naman if you want the operator and the boat.. of course to be with you the whole day.The islands are one of a kind ..blue water na parang pelikulang blue lagoon..for sure ayaw mong umahon kahit maghapon ka sa tubig..this is the best place to have picnic ..beers are allowed pa..
Marami pang mga seafood restaurant akong napuntahan while I’m in Pangasinan..Soratos seafood sa may Binmaley.. famous in inihaw na Bangus at Hito..
Matutina Seafood .heto yong nasa Bonoan white sand beach.. in Dagupan, na kung saang kumakain madalas si Pres.G. Arroyo pag nasa Pangasinan..specialty nila, lahat ng luto ng Bangus,crispy pata at talaba (oyster)..the price is very affordable i tell you…
Marami pa akong napuntahang beach na magaganda while I’m in Pangasinan in just 2 weeks time.
andyan ang Lingayen and San Fabian beaches…
Before going back to Manila (Lagro).The last but not the least na binisita ko ay Baguio City.
Going to Baguio is very exciting ..Taking Kennon road is really breathtaking at ang makikita mo while on your way ay mga sari-saring waterfalls .The city is now congested but, the simoy ng hangin is so refreshing ..you need a sweater for sure habang gumagabi..The best location to stay is near Burnham park ..I stayed in Prime Hotel for 1800 pesos a night.. along Session Road ..This is situated sa hilltop and beside SM Baguio overlooking the entire city.Here you can wake up as early as 5:30 in the morning to jog sa Burnham Park and join aerobics with others at malay ninyo makasama niyo pa sa pagjojogging si Manny Pacquiao..While I’m in Baguio i managed to visit Camp John Hay,and Mines View.Though medyo congested at modernized na nga ang Baguio andon pa rin yong fresh na hangin na malalanghap mo and the beauty of Mt. Cordillera is still there..no doubt, Baguio is still the summer capital of the Philippines.
Kaya for those planning to spend weeks or month in the Philippines don’t forget to visit the 2nd famous city and the summer capital of our country which is the home of the rice terraces.

    at parang gusto kong umuwi ng Pinas at
    kumain ng sinigang na tiyan ng bangus,
    lechon kawali (bagnet) from Laoag City,
    sizzling sisig sa Pampanga,
    bulalo, kare-kare, cebu lechon,
    etc, etc, etc. and don’t forget
    the macapuno pie.

    e ano kung hindi healthy food.
    life is short, bow.

    Happy New Year!

    Pwede mo namang iburn kaagad doon dahil maiinit..
    I just jog everyday there para makain ko ang gusto ko…
    but if you have no time pagbalik mo na lang…just measure your kanin…
    Happy New Year to all!!!
