The North Expedition

For this month, our summer escapade with my best friend's family... 

WE ARE GOING TO PAGUDPUD ILOCOS NORTE!!!... 

Pagudpud is considered the largest Island in the Philippines. 

You can enjoy the hills and mountain around the place.The Saud beach is the popular place to visit in the island because of the good fine quality of sand, some internet/ travelers reviewers called it "the Boracay of the Northen Luzon" and cheaper :)

When you browse the net, and planning to go to Ilocos Norte, a lot of travel agency or freelance travel guide offering their sample itinerary that you might want to avail. for us, we agreed to stay for 2 days in the Island to swim and relax and for our last day... 

we are going to Vigan City to shop and visit their tourist attraction.

Mist of Summer! :)

The Hotness is on!!! When every I go outside our house, i feel the heat just minute after taking bath. 

I remember when, we went at Boracay last 2008 with my Best friend's family.

 The locals and the beach really makes me feel happy... 

When I touched the white sand, i feel like I'm touching a shredded styro-foam in a fine texture of dirt. I'm so miss them... :)

Here i post my favorite picture...

Way Back-Packing! :)

Me, my brother and my sister, went to Three different Asian country in One week last four years ago. The reason we decided to explore the three main country here in Asia because,  me and my siblings graduated almost same year and this is my father's gift to us. As i remembered, we started our "Back Packing" experience from Singapore City. We had two days to explore the city.

Going to Siloso Gallery Sentosa

Across Orchard Road

   For our next destination is Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. Since Malaysia and Singapore are really close (8 hours) bus ride. We decided to visit also KL Malaysia. And for my personal experience KL is my fave to visit. The food and people are beautiful! and the stuff there is very cheap compared here and from Singapore.

After getting at KL, we immediate went to Genting Highland/ Amusement Park and we took 1-2 hours bus ride from KL to Genting, 10-15 mins from terminal to Park with 5mins walk to main park. I know it took a lot of time but, it was worth it. We took several extremely ride from the park.
