BALER


Baler is the provincial capital of Aurora known for its surfing and historical sites. When one hears Baler automatically what comes to their mind is surfing, but there's more to it than that.





We were at Villasis, Pangasinan visiting my relatives when my uncle said, "Gusto niyo magpunta sa Baler?" When I heard him say Baler, first thing that comes to my mind is beach. I looovvve beach! But I know that the reason why he wants us to come with him to Baler is because he will visit his  wife that is having a vacation there with her relatives. So I immediately asked, "Pupunta ba tayo ng beach?" When he said yes, I immediately said "Cge, punta na tayo ngayon na".


This is the view on the otherside road, infront of the falls.
It was a biglaan trip so we really don't have any itinerary, we don't even know where we're going. The only thing that my tita said is that we are going to the Falls.

So our first stop over is the Digisit Falls, which is just alongside the road, you won't even notice that it's there because it's covered with trees. 



I wasn't able to go to the topmost part as it's already scary and slippery.

Next was the Lukso Lukso Islets where you can see different beautiful rock formations. The place where we stayed for a day was so beautiful, it was so breathtaking! I was so inlove with the place.




For a small amount of money that you have to pay for the entrance fee. I think it's 10 pesos or 20 pesos, you can already use their pool if you don't like swimming on the beach. You can also rent a cottage, but during that time there were lots of people there and all the cottages were already reserved.












My baby enjoyed playing on the sands.



As you can see the sand was so grainy and there were some crushed seashells so it was hard to walk with your bare feet. Walking on the rocks also was a hard task. All I remember is I kept on saying "Ouch!" "Ouch!" "Ouch!"






Everywhere you look at, the place was so thrillingly beautiful.








The beach becomes totally different when it's low tide. That's  when you will see more of the crushed seashells, you will see more of the rocks.





 Our last stop was Ermita Hill where you can see an overlooking view of the Pacific Ocean.


You can go to one of their view decks to enjoy the view.


There's also a stairway that will lead you to a big cross. Tita, which is a a local there, said that after you have climbed the stairs you can make a wish and your wish will come true. Hehe. What I didn't know is that you have to take hundreds and hundreds of steps to reach the cross. After reaching the big cross I made a wish for my babys' health and it would be a miracle if it will come true. :) And I hope it will come true.

Solibao Restaurant

Belated Happy Valentines Day everyone! Well obviously this is were we celebrated our Valentines day here in Solibao at Session Rd, in Baguio City. They have 6 different branches here in Baguio and it's an all-Filipino restaurant. It's my first time to try their food and man they're really delicious! Here is the food we ordered. Just for the two of us. Isn't that great! Haha! I loved how they served their rice, directly from the pot where they cooked it. First thing on my list to try is their kare-kare. I love kare-kare and their kare-kare really tastes good. You can even eat it without the alamang. Their chicken has a sesame seed into it. I'm not a fan of sesame seeds but the taste is still good. It gives out a bit of a nutty flavor because of the seeds. But generally its ok. I would love to try other more but i don't think me and Jardy will be able to handle more.  Hehe. Oh well there's always a next time. So will ...

San Fabian

San Fabian, Pangasinan is famous for it's beaches and resorts. The good thing about it is you can use the beach without paying a single dime! Yes, it's free! But if you will rent a cottage then that's the time that you will pay. Hehe. I can't remember how many times I've been here but my first was when I was still pregnant with Julian when Jardy organized a Christmas Party for his miners. It was year 2012. See how almost powdery white the beach is. The beach is so wide and long. It's best for big groups since there's a lot of space to walk a play. But the beach is not always almost white, it turns brown sometimes and sometimes it's black. These are Jardys' miners playing hilan lubid. Sack Race.  The pictures below were taken last October 2013. That time we rented a cottage in one of the resorts there, so if you don't like going to the beach you can swim on their pool...

LUCA'S

Since we are already at Talipanan Beach we visited Luca's which is just a few steps away from the hut we rented. They serve good Italian food and there were lots of flavors of pasta and pizza to choose from. It took time for us to get our food but the good thing about this is that you can see through their kitchen and you can really say that the food were cooked as they are ordered. You won't also feel you're waiting long because the surrrounding was really beautiful. The pasta were so delicious as well as the pizza. Aside from restaurant it's also a lodge so can stay for overnight here. On our way to Luca's, it was scorching hot!
