Mt. Pinatubo

Looking for a great adventure? try this one! Mt. Pinatubo trek...6 hours of trek and 2 hours of 4x4 vehicle ride in one day. 
It's our pay day =) Marvin and I wanted to enjoy our salary for this month, so ayun, kakaibang trip nanaman... 
Thanks to Tripinas Travel and tour ventures for a wonderful and adventurous experience, they have the best/lowest package on the web. =) For as low as 1990/head you can already explore the lahar-laden landscape north of Manila
The word pinatubo means "Made to grow" in Tagalog and Sambal, which may suggest a knowledge of its previous eruption in about AD 1500
Our 4x4 with new found friends

Mount Pinatubo is an active stratovolcano located on the island of Luzon, at the intersection of the borders of the Philippine provinces of Zambales, Tarlac, and Pampanga.
In June 1991, the second largest volcanic eruption of the twentieth century* took place on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. 
Lahar
Up to 800 people were killed and 100,000 became homeless following the Mount Pinatubo eruption, which climaxed with nine hours of eruption on June 15, 1991. 

Great view while trekking

Family Summer Fun 2011

My family, especially my little sister wanted to have an enjoyable summer vacation. Good thing I have 2 days off on my summer job and my mom only have 1 week left to enjoy her vacation, she's a teacher by the way. So, I planned..again and again...for our summer trip. This time I want to spend my summer on a beach... I wanna have a sun kissed tan lines! Thanks again to Google, and I've seen a lot of resort in Subic bay just by searching, and I've found Ocean view resort


Sorry I don't have pictures of the establishment, I forgot to take some pictures of it... We're already excited to take a dip.

Ocean View is a perfect beach resort for Filipino families. Great affordable accommodations and located directly on the Subic Beach for your enjoyment. 


Experience the clear waters and relaxing bay of the Subic at this charming, warm and clean beach resort. You’ll enjoy the unique old Philippines architecture, landscaped gardens and long beach front of this property. Great bay, harbor views and romantic nights in your beach hut await you.

After the hot air balloon festival, we proceed to the 2nd part of our pre-valentine date... aadventure we'll never forget...


Subic Bay is well know for its sports and wellness activities, beaches and lush forests.




One of the best places here in Subic is the Tree top adventure, it offers 6 different activities (rappelling, canopy ride, trekking, interactive free fall, superman ride, and silver surfer).  

A pre-valentine date (part 1)

Another unforgettable trip with my boyfriend Marvin. I've read something about the hot air balloon festival, and I became quite interested about it. I remembered the movie "The ugly truth" when Gerard Butler declared his love in a hot air balloon to Katherine Heighl, that's so sweet! Thanks again to Google for helping me, I've searched a lot on the internet for some cheap tour packages, but they only have the hot air balloon package which is 900/head. Luckily, I saw Discover Asia International Travel and Tours and they have a great package for only 1300/head. It includes Roundtrip private van transfer, Entrance fee to hot air balloon fest and tree top adventures. nice di ba?And wait there's more, dumaan kami sa duty free to buy some pasalubongs... =)



The main event/attraction is the flight of different multicolored hot air balloons of 27 participants from Asia, Europe and US.

The Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta is an annual event that occurs between January and February at the Omni Aviation Complex in Clark Field, Angeles City, Pampanga.
