Having an adventure up north always includes looking for a great place to eat. Depends on how adventurous one is, sometimes, you have to try to take a hard right hoping to find something interesting. After a great escapade somewhere in Ilocos Norte, we’re bound to Manila when we decided to look for a place to, not just to eat (we are starving after a 4-hour drive, we’re somewhere between Bacnotan and Luna, La Union) but to unwind and enjoy an open field scenery as we find it so relaxing. As we reach Balaoan Municipal Hall, (you will not miss this structure as it is massive compared to every establishment in the area) it is situated on the right side of Manila North Road if you’re Manila bound, we turn left on Balaoan Road, that road is in front of the Municipal Hall. Along Balaoan Road, you will see a simple establishment, the Kubo Grill, on the right side of the road guided by a huge tarpaulin sign that features all the food they can offer. Surprisingly, they offer a wide variety of f...

I’ve been thinking about great places near the metro lately, and the first place that’ll come into mind up north is Bulacan. As to my research, Bulacan has a lot to offer as it is a historic place. In 1899, the historic Barasoain Church in Malolos was the birthplace of the First Constitutional Democracy in Asia.

According to The Greenery’s website, they are located at #80 Rio Vista Subdivision, Sabang 3006 Baliuag, Bulacan. The Greenery, a wedding events place is a hub for any special occasion. It has three theme-based venues that can accommodate the creativity of the bride and groom in creating their perfect event. The three venues are: Pavilion, Lighthouse and Open garden . The pavilion has a grand ballroom for an elegant setting. The lighthouse is located by the river for couples that like the water and a cool breeze f...

It is this time of year in the Philippines when rainy season is about to be endured. It is the same time though when a lot of students are about to go back to school. So, before these times ruin your post vacation dates, let’s go somewhere to ease our minds after all the stressful thinking about work and school 😉 We decided to visit a place northside not too far from Manila. Say, around 4 to 6 hours depending on traffic condition in the Metro. Let’s visit Alaminos in Pangasinan, and enjoy island hoping at The Hundred Islands. Pangasinan has been described as a gateway to northern Luzon and as the heartland of the Philippines. The protected area of The Hundred Islands National Park is located in the city of Alaminos. The islands, totaling 124 at low tide and 123 at high tide, are scattered in Lingayen Gulf covering an area of 16.76 square kilometers (6.47 sq. mi). The Lucap wharf in Alaminos is the entrance to the National Park. So, if your planning to visit the pla...
