Places of My Year 2013

1. Cagayan de Oro City- no doubt that this city is first in my list not just because this is my birth place but this has made my 2013 unforgettable. When I went home last June for my cousin's wedding, I had the chance to see my immediate family, relatives and friends. Nice to be away from work sometimes and just enjoy the holiday with them.

2. Tagaytay City- onset of 2013, we traveled to Tagaytay. The Taal lake amazed me so much and I'm even tempted to go down the crater if there was a chance. The cold weather and the sumptuous bulalo our team shared on that day was also lovely. I would love to go back there someday.

3. Enchanted Kingdom- just when I thought of squeezing in a quick trip to HongKong with my son before 2013 ends, we had an adventure of a lifetime in EK. Dubbed as the Disneyland of the Philippines, you wouldn't go wrong if you want to go somewhere just near the Metro and go crazy with the rides. For info and promotions check out their website: http://enchantedkingdom.ph/

4. Manila Zoo- been to different zoos outside the country and I think Manila Zoo really needs not just some but more improvement. But no further complains since I got what I paid for. Nice to go walking here in the afternoon even if there's not much to see except for Mali- the zoo's lone elephant.

Guess, my list ends here. Maybe not much for the year 2013 but hoping for more travels this year 2014. 

Stunning Tagaytay City

Our first destination for this year is Tagaytay! Finally, we reaped the fruit of our almost everyday after shift overtime at work. Tagaytay is a very popular city among those who want to escape the busy Manila.

We headed first to Pink Sisters. As you can see on the sign below is it a place of prayer so make sure to wear decent clothes.

Even if we're ahead of our schedule, there are already a lot of people when we arrived in the picnic grove area. Then there's the stunning volcano and the Taal Lake that you can see from above the picnic grounds. Other activities you can try includes zipline and horse back riding.

super tasty bulalo at Leslies

When in Tagaytay, don't forget to drop by at Leslies. This resto serves many mouth watering dishes especially the bulalo.
