Zubuchon

Cebu is known for its Lechon! Everytime I am at Cebu, hindi pwedeng hindi ko tikman ang lechon. So this time, I decided to try Zubuchon.

When I tasted the skin, wow it was so crispy! I so love it. Napadami tuloy ang kain namin. Everything here is really delicious.

 

We also order fresh seaweeds. It is so perfect with just a little bit of chili and vinegar.

  

Because I can’t resists the goodness of Lechon, we take home some of it. Since we order 4 hours before our flight, they told us to pick up our order at the Airport. It was a frozen lechon and still fresh the day after. 🙂

It was a short and fun getaway to Cebu.

 

Larshian Cebu

Everytime I am in Cebu, I never failed to visit Larshian. Our favorites are Chorizo, pork barbecue, fish and pusit.

The chicken barbecue is simply the best.

It was already late when we went to Larshian and there are only few people in the area. Mas okay kasi hindi kami masyadong siksikan sa dining area.

 

The taxi driver informed us that Larshian is open 24 hours. So if you will visit Cebu, don’t forget to visit this place.

Sobrang affordable and since medyo busog pa ako, take out na lang namin ang mga orders namin at sa hotel room na kami kumain. Ayon hanggang madaling araw kumakain pa rin kami. Amoy barbecue ang room namin. 😀

Closer Look of Waterfront Hotel

While we are at the lobby, I noticed this ceiling. As a traveler, I really love to see a map. It always amazed me.

We also went to the pool area and took this shot. 🙂

I also took another night shot.

The Stairs

Sobrang tahimik…

This is the view from our room.

This is at the lobby area. I love every details of this Hotel. Sosyal!

Waterfront Hotel in Lahug Cebu

April 11, 2015

I need to attend a business seminar in Cebu so we booked right away our airfare tickets and hotel accommodation.

We stayed in Waterfront Hotel at Lahug, Cebu.

Sobrang lapit sa mga restaurants sa IT Park kaya sobrang sulit ang pagstay namin.

The room is big enough for us. 🙂

 

Our flight was 10am and we arrived in Cebu around 1pm, medyo gutom na kami.

We had our late lunch. After taking our lunch we watched TV and slept.

 

We woke up around 4pm and we decided to go out and explore the hotel. 🙂

Paoay Church

January 6, 2015

We went to Laoag to visit Paoay Church

 

 

It was the oldest church that I visited so far.

After visiting Paoay Church we headed back to Vigan to take home some longganisa and Bagnet.

Windmill

Jan. 6, 2015

We checked out at the resort around 12pm because we wanted to visit the famous Windmill in Pagudpud. I am thankful to google maps because it made our travel easier. We don’t need to asked the directions of the places we wanted to visit because having google maps is much easier. The places I wanted to visit seems so accessible.

It is very important to us to plot our destinations first before we started our journey. I am glad that the maps in Pagudpud is already updated as well as the short cut roads.

 

Bangui Wind Farm is a wind farm in Bangui, Ilocos Norte, Philippines. The wind farm uses 20 units of 70-metre (230 ft) high Vestas V82 1.65 MW wind turbines, arranged on a single row stretching along a nine-kilometer shoreline off Bangui Bay, facing the West Philippine Sea. (Wikipedia)

 

I always wonder why I don’t see people swimming around the area and when I visited the place, finally my questions were answered. You can’t see tourists went into the beach to swim because you can’t find any beach resorts within the area.

The place is so beautiful and I am glad that finally I visited Pagudpud.

 

We will definitely go back to explore the place more.

At Pagudpud

Jan. 4, 2015

After our trip to Vigan we went to Pagudpud. It was another long drive and we reached Pagudpud at around 7pm and stayed at Arinaya Beach Resort.

 

 

I love the beach. It was so perfect. The white sand is almost the same as Boracay.

 

 

The water was so cold. He had colds when we went there and after I take him to the beach nawala na ang colds nya. Totoo nga ang sinasabi ng mga matatanda na gamot ang dagat sa ubo at sipon.

Gusto ko na ulit bumalik don sa Pagudpud, maganda kasi ang beach pero sobrang layo lang talaga. One day babalik ulit ako tapos lahat ng tourist spots pupuntahan ko na.

Unplanned Vacation

After we visited Ayumi’s spot as I went inside the car to have our lunch, I suddenly changed my mind. Instead of going to Resorts World, I wanted to go to Vigan, Laoag and Pagudpud.

I told hubby my planned and he agreed.

So after, we headed back home to prepare. We got our small luggage and packed our clothes. We prioritize the kids stuffs and this time we didn’t packed that much because we thought we will be out for just 2 days.

So we leave around 4pm then at 11pm we arrived at La Union and decided to just look for a hotel. I was so tired already for the long drive and the kids needs to rest.  We stayed at Golden Park Inn Hotel and get a family room. It was huge with aircon, tv and small bathroom but it was okay. We sleep comfortably…

We woke up excited. We had lunch then headed to Vigan.

It was a long drive again. Around 1pm we arrived at Vigan.

Vigan Cathedral

Ang kalesa.

Old houses

Souvenirs

Ang batang gala…  🙂

 

 

I was amazed with the Heritage City. I love how they keep the place intact up to this age.

Ang sarap talagang mamasyal…

 

To be continued…. 

 

 

Manila Bay

We went to Toyota Manila Bay for scheduled check up of hubby’s car, since he need to leave the car at Toyota, he asked if I can fetched him. So I drive alone and to my surprise, I was in EDSA for 2 hours.

Bumper to bumper traffic and here I am taking some selfie just to take away boredom and fight of getting sleep on the road. Good thing is I have my snacks. I always bring water, juice, chocolate drink and skyflakes if I am driving alone. I also eat banana before I went out. It is a necessity to have all of those things because I am diabetic. I need to eat small meals every 3 hours.

I reached around 3pm at Baclaran and I am already starving for real food. I also holding my pee for more than 2 hours. Good thing hubby saw me and we had our lunch.

After our lunch we headed to MOA to watch movie and of course to watch the Sunset. I saw different pictures of Sunsets in Manila Bay and I really want to witness it. It was really our plan to see it.

It was my first time. We waited for it was raining at first, so we just stayed at the Coffee Bean while waiting for the sunset. Then the weather turns out great.

We went to Bay area.

It was our first time and I am surprised to see more lovers, families and barkadas along the bay area. It was a perfect spot to relax. We will surely coming back here with the kids. I am sure they will love it here because there are some rides and food within the area.

This is really amazed me. 🙂

It was a great day and I am happy that we got a chance to finally see it. I am just simply happy.

After watching the Sunset we headed back to MOA to watch a movie. It was indeed a perfect DATE with hubby.

Love! Love! Love!

Road Trip to Quezon

Last Sunday, we decided to have a road trip since I got so bored. So we checked the road in Tanay in going to Lucena Quezon. We wanted to visit Kamay ni Hesus in Quezon Province and it took us 4 hours.

Dumaan kami sa Teresa Rizal. Ang ganda ng view!

 

Minsan talaga kailangan munang lumabas para maappreciate ang nature. Ayan ang ganda ganda, parang ang daming angel wings.

Grabe ang daming curves, bago kami dumating hilong hilo na ako. Si Irish sumuka na… nakakaloka! parang gusto ko ng matulog don sa Kamay ni Hesus.

Nakarating din kami pero hindi na kami nakapasok don sa mismong tuktok. Gusto kong bumalik pero malamang mag overnight na kami. Hindi ko kaya na uwian agad, nakakahilo kasi ang byahe.

Hindi halatang pagod na kami. Gusto ko ng gumapang sa sobrang pagod. ahahahah

 

It was fun and I love doing this more often. 🙂
