2015 - My 15 Random Travel Moments (5/15)

-


This blog post was supposed to be a #HugotThrowback (for when you miss traveling) the past year of frequent travels, pero pag tingin ko sa pictures, mas masarap alalahanin ang mga kulitan at saya. So here goes my random 15 for 2015.  

1. That Feel na Feel biking


- Ito yung mega scarf pa ako with mountaineer's hat...samahan mo pa ng sleeves at earphones, and pink shades! Tapos yung kasama mo simpleng shirt, shorts at sandals lang.

2. Solo Biking and Welcoming my Rural Life


- This was during my 30 day - turn over period at my previous job at Makati, and would be transferring to my new job which was in my homeland - Cavite. Of course, I was very much excited for the transition that I'd sometimes skip work and all I did was feeling the soon to be my rural living - tambay sa bahay, bike sa umaga, I really missed living in the province and its simple low cost living, I was waiting for that day I'd start working at my new job - which was just about 20 minutes travel from home. (For almost 7 years of dormitory/ boarding house life in Manila, para sa akin isang malaking blessing na magkaron ka ng ganoong job opportunity)

Probinsya vibes - all smile syempre! Nakuha ko pa talagang sumelf timer. 

3. Exploring Roads Less Traveled - Cavite Version


- Ito na talaga, This is it! Living the probinsya life. It was February 2015, time when my work has started already and transition stage was over. What better way to welcome this new life(style) was to explore Cavite itself. We were surprised na meron kaming road na nadaanan na halos walang dumadaan - road connecting towns Magallanes and Alfonso. Nagstay kami doon ng mga 30 minutes, at sa pagkakatanda ko ay mga jeepney lang na puno ng mga kargadong gulay ang dumaan. Meron pa ngang mga grupo ng kabataan ang naglalakad na nakihitch ng ride doon sa jeep. Bukod doon ay maganda rin ang scenery. Worth the visit, I must say.

4. Going Back to my 2nd Job


- I'd never thought I'd have a chance to be back at this place again and meet my previous co-workers.

5. Exploring Vigan City


- Apart from the usual "Ilocos Tour" we often heard about, we chose to tour Vigan City alone.

NAIA Terminal 3 via Jeepney

DIRECTIONS: 1. Depending on your location, take JEEPNEY BOUND TO NICHOLS at AIRPORT ROAD or ALONG EDSA. 2. Ask the driver to get you off at CIRCULO DEL MUNDO ROTUNDA or near TERMINAL 3. 3. From rotunda, cross the ANDREWS AVENUE and walk to NAIA Terminal 3. (Be careful when crossing the highway as there is no footbridge you can use.) GETTING OUT OF NAIA TERMINAL 3: DIRECTIONS: 1. Same procedure as No. 3 above. Walk from Terminal 3 to Circulo Del Mundo Rotunda. 2. Just near the rotunda is where you can find jeepneys bound for MRT/LRT PASAY and BACLARAN. These jeeps will follow same route as shown above. Take note: if the signboard indicates ONLY 'Baclaran', it will not pass through EDSA (MRT/LRT Pasay). Instead of turning right, these jeepneys pass through Andrews Avenue and exiting at the Aiport Road. (please refer to map above).

Tanay, Rizal: Daranak Falls, Mt. Daraitan, Tinipak River Travel Guide

-

Though Daranak Falls is commonly known as a side trip for Mt. Sembrano among hikers, we managed to squeeze our 2day trip to visit the place before the hike. As seen from the "Rockies 2" of Mt. Daraitan   The highlight of the trip, of course, was scaling Mt. Daraitan. Direct assault to summit in which most part of the trek consists of 60-80 degree climb. Reaching the summit, you will be rewarded with the views of some part of Sierra Madre mountain range, the Polillo Strait and the province of Rizal.  Sea of clouds in the Sierra Madre mountain range The summit can only accommodate 2-3 tents; fortunately, we were able to set up our camp at the summit itself. Waking up at the crack of the dawn, you will be amazed with the magnificent view of the sea of clouds! Even more breathtaking during sun rise. Tinipak River, Daranak Falls, Mt. Daraitan Summit At the last part of our trip, we traversed the mountain leading us in the Tinipak River. It is awar

Mt. Maculot Cuenca, Batangas Travel Guide (from Cavite)

-

Mt. Maculot is one of the ideal mountains to hike for the beginners despite the now required guideship fees. Not only it is just hours away from Manila, it also offers one of the most spectacular views after an hour or two of continuous assault. As you go higher, you will be rewarded by the view of Taal Lake, not your usual view when passing by the infamous Tagaytay City. The main reason why hikers prefer to hike only up to the rockies is because of its one of the most picturesque view of Taal Lake. That alone already makes your hiking adventure worthwhile. Mt.

First trip starts as early as 4AM. But it will only go once the van is full. Usually 16-18 passengers depending on what type of van. The terminal is located beside Giligan's, in front of Robinsons.
