I will offer my service to my family as their family driver this Christmas vacation. I hope they would accept it, because right now I want to just drive, drive and drive. This Christmas vacation I will get the chance to celebrate the Christmas Eve with my girlfriend’s family. It is my first time to celebrate this important occasions, and I’ll probably proposed to her parents that we will be getting married in the year 2009. I’ll update you on this wedding plan on my future post. I’ll keep you posted.

Last weekend, me and some old friend went to Baguio and it was really one unforgettable day I’ve ever had for quite a long time now. I’ll discuss on how our trip goes. It was Friday night when I went to my girlfriend’s house and I’m scheduled to sleep there because on the next day around 4am we will go to Mañaog Church then later to Baguio.  Because of excitement that night, I only slept 3 hours. I woke up 3am in the morning, my girlfriend wake me up with a gentle kiss on my chick and a hug. It was really a very fine morning for me.

A van picked us up around 4am. Around 2 hours before we arrived at Mañaog Church. We attended a mass and pray. After an hour we’ve decided to go to Baguio and visit the City of Pines. One of the popular travel destinations here in the Philippines. We reached baguio at exactly 10am. It was really cold and fine beautiful views. One of the places we’ve visited are Burnham Park, Camp John Hay, Baguio Public Market, The Grotto and The Mansion. Unfortunately we didn’t have the chance to visit Baguio’s botanical garden and Mines View Park because time is our enemy. We have to go back to San Ildefonso, Bulacan before midnight. It was an amazing and unforgettable experience indeed.

I’ve always wanted to visit Tokyo but I’ve heard it’s hard to get a travel visa in Japan because my friend recently applied for travel visa and up until know his status is still pending. But if will be given a chance, the first thing that I will do is look for the high end technology gadget that you can only buy in Japan. There are lot of technology in Japan that was being adapted by other countries. No doubt their the leader in high-end technology.

Going back to Angeles Pampanga, this town has been the second home of Americans because during late 1980’s there is a American military base near Angeles and this made the town boost their economy. Right now there are lot of night clubs and bar. Also what I really like about Angeles Pampanga is they have lots of good foods. Come and visit Angeles Pampanga and be delightened with their good food and beautiful girls.

A view from the airplane window. It was my first time to ride an airplane. A something to remember when I get old. lol.

A view from the hills the beautiful beaches in Samal Island. Our ride using a habal-habal took 45 minutes. You should try it because it was really exciting.

And the sunset. It was really relaxing when you see the sunset. The rest of the day is history now. Hopefully we could comeback there next year. Davao is now my favorite place in the Paradise Philippines. Till next post.

The beautiful church of San Ildefonso, Bulacan

The parade took around 2-3 hours. It was very tiring because I’ve joined the group of people pulling San Pedro. But it is really rewarding. After that I just want to go home and sleep.

It’s my first time to try the sports of wakeboarding. Actually the instructor of CWC didn’t let us try the sports but they’ve only allow us to try the sports of kneeboarding because for beginners of wakeboarding you need to balance first yourself in water together with these board above. Nevertheless, it was an amazing experience for us. It was exciting and I’m really satisfied on our trip to CamSur. Hopefully we could get back there this year or next year.

At the picture is the overview of the swimming pool and the massage section of CamSur WaterSports Complex. We had a 1 hour pool experience and a 30 minute massage after we’ve tried kneeboarding. At the end of the day we’ve only spent 700php or approximately $14. This includes the food expenses.

Behind me is one of the fascinating volcano in the world, Mount Mayon, Legazpi City, Albay, Philippines. It was an amazing experience to be on the place that I’ve used to see only on postcards during my grade school. You will notice on my right side an old structure. It was actually a church, Cagsawa church which was buried duing the eruption of Mayon Volcano on February 1, 1814. The tourist guide had a lot of stories about the eruption. Even two kids we’ve met there are also telling stories on how many people died during that eruption.

Mayon Volcano looks like a perfect cone. It is rare on an active volcano.

I’ve talked to my sister yesterday and we talked about life in general. We also discussed on how we will spend our money wisely and invest our money. This made me think that I should stop my target to buy a new car this year. Instead invest it to a bank and start from there. Next year my target is to buy a house and lot. So I have to save all my money that I will earned this year.
