The Birthday Trip!

Last year, I really had thought that my 2015 birthday would be a solo trip somewhere. I have not yet decided where. So I booked a back and forth ticket to Manila during the mid-year sale. I was thinking I would go with a group tour to anywhere in Luzon. I asked a friend Harry if he had schedule group tour during these days. He said there is but not yet definite. Then before 2014 ended, I booked a ticket to Macao thinking that in case there is no Luzon tour, I'd go to Macau.  I thought that spending my birthday in Macau – that is if finances will allow me to, would not be bad. 

Fast forward to mid-July 2015. I am not yet sure if I will really pursue the trip. July 20, it was my mom’s birthday. I was still undecided. The next day, I remembered my birthday gift from the hospital workers. A Php 20/per worker so I checked it out and indeed there was a certain amount. Calculating the travel tax plus the terminal fees, the amount I received could cover the said costs. Yahooo!

July 22 morning, I still went to work half day and at 11 left for the airport to catch my 2:30 flight. When I was successfully checked-in, I then sigh, I am surely going to Macau. Lol! After I checked for my Macau flight, I then whispered to myself, Happy Birthday! 

This trip (solo birthday trip) is crossed out in my bucket list.


@the Immigration area. Welcome to Macao!

Lake Apo: The Plan and the Visit

Image
The first time I saw Lake Apo in the Facebook account of the owner, Dr. Almer Alfonso, I said to myself, I am going there.  So I clicked Like on the photo and then later ask Dr. Almer how to get there.  Summer was over and first semester started and I still can't put into my schedule a trip to Bukidnon.  I desired to see the place alone.  But then thinking it would be more fun to have company, I tagged the photo to my fellow Iligan blogger, Pinay Travelista .  I am betting she got a mole on her foot thus her travel blog.   Indeed she agreed to make me realize my wish without a second thought.  We thought we could make it last August during the last weekend where Iligan enjoyed a long weekend.   But Dr. Almer was on vacation in the US.  September made us really busy for the planning of the coming MBS5 so the plan was put aside to an unknown schedule. Before September ended, I know I am going to make the plan a reality.  I shared the plan with fellow Iligan bloggers and invited ever

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
