When A Mom Go On Cliff Diving | Tangadan Falls | San Gabriel, La Union

Image
Taaadaaa! This is my first ever cliff dive in my entire life. It is one of the things I wanna do when I was still single. But believe me, once you have a child you're already afraid of trying things because you over think. What if you jumped and never went back up on the water? What if you didn't jump properly and you got your head knocked off from a rock? What if you died? Who will take care of child? And more what ifs... 😂 These are just few of the bloody things that a mother thinks before doing an extreme sport like cliff diving. I've been a full time mom for about two years now. Everything is just a breeze, watching your kid grow up, taking care of her needs, keeping her safe and all. I missed being  a wanderlust. So, when my friends invited me to go travel with them, I said "Yes!" right away even though my husband didn't agree. But he eventually did after a few fights and a lot of persuasion! 😁 One of our destination is the magnificen...

Take A Peep: LA UNION'S BEST Halo-Halo De Iloko Balay Restaurant

Image
Sorry guys, if only I can tow that car away so you can get a better view of the resto. Haha! Hello from La Union! Apparently, summer is approaching so a lot of tourist flock here to enjoy the waves and learn surfing.  It's a no brainer. If you say beach plus surfing, it's LU! What's funny is that when you're tired and hungry, it's so hard to pick where are we going to eat. Do you have the same struggle? Yassss! 😁😁😁😅  Especially if you're surrounded by very good restaurants around. One of our friends recommended us to dine in a restaurant but she can't remember the exact name. When we asked a local, Boom! They all knew about it.  So, we hurriedly went into that place because it's already lunch time and our stomachs are growling AF. 😂 Obviously, the place is well-known plus it's a peak hour, unfortunately we have to wait in line for our turn to be served. So just a tip: be here ahead of time or else prepare for yourselves to be on the ...

Island Hopping? It's More Fun In Hundred Islands | Alaminos, Pangasinan

Image
Well, perhaps you're still wondering where to go this summer. One of the suggestion that I can give to you is The Hundred Islands National Park. It is called that way because it's consist of 124 islands during low tide and 123 islands during high tide. Interesting, isn't it? This protected area is situated in Alaminos City, Pangasinan; just 4-5 hours away from Metro Manila if you travel thru a private car or 6-7 hours thru public bus. Everybody's excited! Summer is beginning to heat up that's why tourists rush along to this destination. Its outstanding that the government made an effort to develop the wharf. You'll see here the vast landscape with complete amenities like a wide parking area, shower/restrooms, souvenir shops and a whole lot more. Once you arrive, you will be asked to register in their Tourism Office then you'll have to pay the fees necessary for the island hopping. They will provide a boat and licensed guide that...

© www.piop.net I'm no love expert but I'm sharing with you, me and my husband's experience as a certified Long Distance Couple. Its 2017 already and it's been 8 years since our story initiated. It was summer of 2009 when our relationship started. Unlike any other couple, we didn't have a very good beginning. Most of our friends were against us because im a badass kolehiyala and he's a responsible student. In our first year, we were so weak. We went through many ups and downs. We had a lot of issues like third party, me being a nagger, and separation anxiety since we'll be graduating soon. Unfortunately,we broke up after graduation. We lost the battle. We parted ways and lived our own lives. He went to Abu Dhabi and I worked in Bonifacio Global City.
