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

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. Let’s see what they have to offer. According to a short research, Dagupan, officially the City of Dagupan or simply Dagupan City, is an independent component city in the province of Pangasinan in the Philippines. The city is among the top producers of milkfish (locally known as bangus) in the province. They are more popular on their Bangus Festival. From 2001-2003, Dagupan's milkfish production totaled to 35,560.1 metric tons (MT), contributing 16.8 percent to the total provincial production. Of its total production in the past three years, 78.5 percent grew in fish pens/cages while the rest grew in brackish water

One rainy late afternoon, we decided to go out for a late lunch or maybe have a heavy snack somewhere not-too-far yet not-so-near and not-a-typical-kind-of restaurant. We have been seeing a lot of posts on Facebook about concept resto’s and we really like to visit one 😉 We found ourselves loitering around PhilCoa, a busy place within Quezon City in the Philippines. We’re trying to find the infamous Rainbow Dreams Café. It’s supposed to be located at #80 Maguinhawa St. Well, a good map would be a great help besides Waze 😉 Just minutes away from Quezon City Circle, or if you’re commuting, best is from PhilCoa, rent a tricycle and just say you’re going to #80 Maguinhawa St. and they’ll take you there for less than 20 pesos. A resident on the place told us that there are a lot of Food Park within the area, well, not a bad idea to go back one day and even without any plans, just drop by and see what happens 😉 On a quick research, The Rainbow Dreams Café is co-owned by Ms. Alyss
