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.

Suso Beach, Santa Maria, Ilocos Sur

The place is called Suso Beach because it is situated at barangay Suso of the municipality of Santa Maria, Ilocos Sur which is known for it's world heritage site the Our Lady of Assumption Church which is sometimes called the Santa Maria church. The beach sands were fine and brown but the picture at the top was taken around 10 am so it's almost white in color. And would you believe that this beach is located just along the highway? Yup! You heard me right..  Eventhough it was not our first time to be here I was still excited probably because I super love  beaches or probably because I haven't been to a beach for a long long while now or both. Because the last time we were here was a few years back around 2011 I guess and we just had a stop over, because we're going to Vigan. So right after Santa Maria is Narvacan which has some awesome beaches too, which is already near Vigan. So when we got to the beach...

Six

Wow! Time flies by so fast, my baby is now in his sixth month! He's so makulit now. He eats everything he sees. And when you take your eyes off of him for a bit you won't be able to see him on the exact place you last saw him, he will already be on the far side. And because of this we always make sure of his safety.His way of waking you up is by grabbing your face and then scratch it. Oh yeah it hurts a lot even if I  just cut his nails and sometimes it will leave a bruise on my face, the funny thing is that once you look at him, he will smile at you and show his cute dimples so how will you get mad by that? Then in the morning when he wakes up, he will find me and once he sees me, he would smile, sometimes shout then he will start shaking his head and his whole body like he's making pa bibo to me. I'm carrying him right now and he's grabbing everything he sees so it's taking me hours to finish this. hehe. So this is us, I star...
