Crystal Beach at Iba Zambales, Philippines

Is it just me or it really is getting hotter in the Philippines? Well, summertime is officially started and we can say that the heat of the sun is too much to bear!!! On the bright side though, it is a great excuse to go out and beat the heat, let’s visit the beach 😉

There is a great Beach Resort somewhere north if your friends are always flooding your Facebook timeline about where to go to show off your 6-month-food-deprived body!!! Hey don’t ask me, I myself am not really in shape to wear trunks, my abs are way too shy to boast off!?!

Anyways, let’s visit Zambales and try to explore The Crystal Beach 😉

Zambales is a province in the Philippines located in the Central Luzon region in the island of Luzon. Its capital is Iba. Zambales borders Pangasinan to the north, Tarlac and Pampanga to the east, Bataan to the south and the South China Sea to the west. With a land area of 3,830.83 square kilometres (1,479.09 sq. mi), Zambales is the second largest among the seven provinces of Central Luzon. The province is noted for its mangoes, which are abundant from January to April.

ADVENTURE is Zambales’ middle name if it has one. Zambales claims that it is probably one of the best adventure destination. It has all the ingredients needed to make for an amazing time. Try climbing mountains, or traveling from island to island, or enjoying a quiet rest by the side of crystal blue seas.

If you find those things boring, why not try surfing. Zambales has one of the closest surf breaks to Metro Manila. If you feel like you don't want to be that rustic, then just zip over to nearby Subic Bay and buy your supply of duty-free goods. Convenient, right? You might buy everything you need at Subic Bay, literally everything 😉

We rendered the services of ILove Adventours to take us there, all 15 of us 😉

You might want to make sure you have confirmed your reservation though as they can’t provide you any accommodation if you don’t have a reservation, they are strictly implementing that. Mind you, a group of 16 people loiters along the beach just because they have no reservation, yet they push through their getaway for adventure’s sake. That might be cool but personally for me, I can’t stand the heat from 9 AM to 3 PM, it’s just too much for me, especially during the summer ;-(

Beyond that, if everything is set and reservation is made, you can enjoy a great beach all day 😉 Seek help from these people for your next adventure, they always come in handy 😉

Cheerio!

The Greenery: Baliuag Bulacan, Philippines

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. ILove Adventours allowed me to tag along as they schedule an ocular inspection on one of their target destination to promote on their day tour, The Greenery . 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...

Have you been to Batangas? I have been there so many times already and yet, there are still a lot of great places there to visit. As my being adventurous to seek places aroused me big time, I decided to again, join with strangers to visit say, 3 nice locations within Batangas proper. We decided to have a day tour at The Marian Orchard and The Cintai Corito’s Garden both in Balete, and The Shercon Resort in Mataas na Kahoy. Batangas, officially known as the Province of Batangas (Filipino: Lalawigan ng Batangas) is a province in the Philippines located in the Calabarzon region in Luzon.

It’s not everyday that someone will crave for a seafood, though sometimes, you just can’t get enough when you started eating one especially when you are at a great seafood restaurant. This time, we indulge ourselves into one of arguably the most visited seafood restaurant in Dagupan in Pangasinan, Philippines; The Matutina’s and Gerry’s Seafood Haus and Restaurant.
