Dimple & Me at Rizal Park, Manila

Last November, Dimple and I went to Manila for a few days. It's my treat for her birthday at the same time my first long distance travel that year. We paid less for a ticket for two and that is thanks to Cebu Pacific for giving us the chance to fly even on a tight budget.

These  photos were taken when we passed through Luneta Park on our way to Ocean Park. It was a first time experience for her and mine too as I haven't been to this place at day time. The first time I was here was long long time ago with college friends and it was at night.

That is me, in front of the famous Jose Rizal landmark.

The daughter


It is her first time her. Later in the evening, we came back to this place and she took the time to go around the whole area. At night the place got tiangge where they sell just any stuff. She was looking for a particular rubber bracelet so she went around. I did not have the strength to go around with her anymore because I was already too tired.

Spring Fling in Seoul - Arriving at Yeouido Park

Image
The moment we saw this stair with cherry blossom art, I knew this is it.  I was excited to see what's out there to see.  And this is my first glimpse of the cherry blossom in a perfect spring day! I think this is a welcome stage of the festival, but I was somewhat disappointed because I expected the place to be really filled with CB trees.  The trees I can see a bit further was not enough to satisfy my imagination.  I thought ito lang... Then we were told that we have to leave now because this is not the real place.  The place is farther ahead.  The guys with Jacel walked so fast. Not really fast but their strides were bigger than ours.  Since I walked alone, not together with the other 3 ladies, I walked next to the guys. I tried to keep them in sight because I cannot imagine what would happen if I get lost in the crowd. The crowd was quite big. So much people because it was the first day or opening day of the festival. We have to walked a kilo

Surigao del Sur Escapade: Enchanted at The Enchanted River

Image
Yay after a year, it's like I am able to make a summary of our summer 2015 escapade in Surigao del Sur that covered The Enchanted River, Tinuy-an Falls, and the Britania group of Islands. I may forget some minute details but I will try to narrate what I can remember according to the pics posted here. Disclaimer : All photos used in this post are mine, unless stated otherwise . Before coming, I have heard a lot about Enchanted River.  I've seen it many times online (thanks to Google). Many times I have wished that one day, I will be able to see and feel its waters - and that one day happened in July 2015. After traveling the whole night, we arrived at HInatuan before six o'lock in the morning.  We were one of the few who were early birds. We thought we were the first but nah. Never mind though.  The important thing is that we arrived safe and sound and the drivers can take their rest and few hours wink. I feel our faces are puffy after the whole night trip b
