ABOUT THE BLOG:

THE ADVENTURE BEGINS:

  • A lifestyle blog is a great thing about this generation, the conversational tone, and the real person behind the brand. It consists of random from personal growth, food, travel, relationships, and more. This is to share my thoughts and ideas where I talk about my life. I think it’s inspiring to other people to see someone like them making such a difference in other people’s lives by creating convenient and actionable content.

Nothing but the Seas makes me Happy

This photo was taken last 2019 at Saud White Beach in Pagudpud Ilocos Norte. Summer vacation has always been something I look forward to every year since I was a child, it is a great time for bonding with family and friends, exploring interesting places and to build memorable experiences together. I have been on a few vacations that have made a lasting impact on my life but one of the most memorable vacations I have experienced was with family that we are almost complete and we went to go a beach out of town. The moment I watch the waves and breathe the scent of fresh air, it relieves my stress and a perfect place to relax. Always remember to come out of your shell, take time to coast and don’t peer pressure yourself because life is too short to miss out on life’s beautiful waves that God created.


Why Visit Baguio?

One of the most popular places to is Baguio, the Summer Capital of the Philippines and an all-time favorite place to go especially for tourist people for the cool breeze and scenery weather and view. Whether you want to admit it or not, no matter how many times you’ve been to Baguio, the place never ceases to amaze you and make you feel like you don’t want to go back home. It has breathtaking spots to relax and feel that you’re on the top of the world, not just because of its height but also the sense of contentment it gives you.

Most especially the food and drink that provide lasting memories that define a holiday or travel experience. They also say that Baguio is just a temporary place, people come and go but it gives you a heart-felt experience you won’t forget.

Even the Sky sets in Paradise

The city that exists in the mind long before you visit especially this is my dream place to go. It is the City of Love wherein it is the perfect place of honeymoon destination for the newly couple to escape place and commemorate long term relationship. Other also said that it is City of Lights due to its gas street lamps back in the 1860’s that people literally light with enlightened minds. As the setting of literary classics, Hollywood romances, children’s adventures and the iconic images of the city flood to open your imagination before you even arrive the Eiffel Tower’s spire. You can also visit the Louvre where you can see many shows and exhibitions and stepping into the whirlwind that takes you to romanticism and will leave you enduring memories. It is not hard to tell how wonderful to visit and see the shining evening place of Paris.


Let us witness the Beauty of Bauang, La Union, its History and Friendly People

There are so many beautiful places here on earth. Every place has its own distinct features. Here is a glimpse view of Bauang La Union. It was a pre-colonial settlement in the country that become one of the first missions organized by the Augustinians in Northern Luzon. It is used to belong to the federation of towns and settlements jointly known as “Baratao, Buratao and Balitao”.

Like other towns in the province, Bauang also had its share in the devastating invasions in Moro pirates (“Tirong”) made series of invasions in Bauang. These invasions gave rise to the construction of watchtowers or Baluarte by the “Gobernadorcillo” Don Juan Mallare.

You can also visit the very antique church of Bauang, St. Peter and Paul Church, founded by the Augustinian friars in 1850 is one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. You know why many couple choose to have their marriage solemnized in this church because it has longest aisle in La Union.

The Story About

The choice to leave Venice as the final destination of our trip was the perfect way to say “ciao” to Italy. Also, Venice is a city built upon water obviously up to 5,000 passengers and crew can disembark from one cruise ship and flooding a city that’s already inundated with tourists like them. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s travel and witness the best love in the world with our loved ones because life is short we should treasure all the opportunities that we have right now and live in the moment.

Sariling atin, ating mahalin!

Isa sa pinakamagandang likha ng Diyos ay ang lugar sa “Hundred Islands” na tila malulula ka dahil isa ito sa magagandang tanawin sa Pilipinas na kung saan marami itong aktibidad o suliranin na pwede mong maranasan o subukan at maipagmalaki sa ibang tao upang mahikayat silang puntahan ito. Mula sa mga nagpuputian at pinong-pinong buhangin sa dagat hanggang sa makalaglag-pusong ganda ng mga isla, hindi ka mauubusan ng matatanaw sapagkat ito ay may isang daang isla na kung saan may kanya kanya itong kasaysayan o pinagmulan. Ito ay dapat pangalagaan sapagkat hindi ito tulad ng anumang bagay sa mundo o material na bagay na madaling palitan, kaya naman bilang nakikinibang tayo lagi sa ating kapaligiran, reponsibilidad natin na pahalagaan ito upang maibalik natin sa kalikasan sa ating maliit na paraan ang maraming pakinabang na nakukuha natin dito.

Man-Made Photography

There are disasters that are entirely made, but none are entirely natural. Let’s appreciate how beautiful nature is.

Natural Landscape

An ocean breeze puts a mind at ease. Try to be a sunset in someone’s cloud.

Beauty Itself

It is about being comfortable of what you are and accepting who you are. You are your own standard of beauty.

Inanimate Object

The only time you should ever look back, is to see how far you’ve come and focus on what you are right now.

Street Photography

Emotion or feeling is the only thing about pictures I find interesting. Beyond that is just a trick, it speaks a thousand beauty in it.

Haiku Poem

This advice is from the ocean: Be shore of yourself. Come out of your shell. Take time to coast. Avoid pier pressure. Sea life’s beauty. Don’t get so tided down on work that you miss out on life’s beautiful waves. So what are you waiting for? Live your life to the fullest!

Feed your Faith

It is about the human connection of love, not a building. A lifestyle, not a weekly activity. An act of service, not a service to attend. Let’s be closer to God for He is always there for us.
