Laresio In Love 💖

For months, I've been searching for something beyond the usual kick of the valentines date and summer fun. A place to escape from the bustling echo of the city life and at the same time enjoy some thrilling activities me and my boyfriend haven't tried before. I came across an awesome video of a guy sliding down the lake and caught myself finishing the full video of exciting treats I was itching to do with him, right there and then I I decided where we will go this Febuary 17 2017. Laresio Lakeside Resort and Spa is located in Los Baños Laguna, built and situated at the lakeside to strategically capture everyone's attention especially the seekers of outdoor adventures. It's a place you can enjoy in less complexity of traveling far, I honestly never thought that there's something more like this in Los Baños, Laguna. It was a weekday when we paid a visit, left at 11am, arrived at 12pm. We went to a sweet lunch before hitting the waters.

We were welcomed by the resort's staff. As usual my expectation of kindness and hospitality exceeded. Overwhelmed of which activities we'll first try with the full stretch wide selection of adventures, we first satisfied ourselves by witnessing how the other visitors enjoy the fun. I can't even take off the grin of excitement in my face. As I, an adrenaline junky would like to try everything there and as my boyfriend the scaredy cat on both of  us, was scared AHAHAHHA. But eventually the tables have turned for me. The moment I stepped on the plank (15 feet jump) my heart started to jump out of my chest. But hey, I still did it. We both enjoyed :D

If you want to know more about this place, visit their websiteeeee :) But here's the basic fees.

 

Masasa ma Life!

WOOOOOO! SAN AABOT ANG 1000 PESOS MO?

That also left my head baffled. But hey, let us have a little discussion about this place, yea?

Not so far from Manila is a beautiful beach located at the southern part of Batangas. A 4-hour bus and boat ride will bring you to Tingloy, Batangas where the royal beach of Masasa is located. It has a clear inviting water, very relaxing surrounding and a place that is serene, enough for relaxing!

How to get there?

If you're in manila, DLTB buses in Buendia terminal offers a trip going to Batangas terminal. From there, ride a jeepney bound to the port in Anilao then tell the driver to drop you at Talaga port then ask for the boats bound to Tingloy island. From Tingloy port ride, ride a tricycle going to Masasa beach. You will be dropped off near the rice fields,  10-15 minute walk away from the beach.

When you get there, if you have a tent, CAMP OUT! IT WILL BE FUN! But if you have a budget then there are kubo rentals there that cost 200 pesos per head. If you would like to have a room of your own, the rate starts at 700 good for two persons. You would have your own comfort room and kitchen. For larger group accommodation, a two-storey Bahay Kubo that can house 20-30 guests. The rate starts at 2000 pesos depending on the number of the guests.

Total expenses:

• Bus (Manila to Batangas grand terminal): 157php/head
• Jeep (BGT to Talaga port): 37php/head
• Passenger boat (going to Tingloy Island): 65php/head
• Tricycle (to Masasa Beach): (60php/ride) devided by 2 = 30php/head/ride

Total transportation: 289php/head x 2 = 578php/head round trip 

• Accommodation: 200php/head
• Food: 220php/head

TOTAL: 998php 

That leaves you 2 pesos. Bili ka nalang ng candy HAHAHAHAHA 

In the Cove of Canyon

I'll just leave that there. All those who have their heart for the sea, ocean  or any body of water will understand that.

I'll have something to give to those who loves to be touched by the salty water in a shore at the beach. Who wouldn't love the beach right? Except those who have phobia with water lol. I personally love the beach. Ecstatic always to see the beach because it calms my soul. It gives me inner peace. Today, I'll give you a bit luxurious place but in the end, it will all be worth it.

This place, a bit expensive but the feeling it gives you, it's priceless.  A secluded beach, this simple yet luxurious resort in multiple buildings among tropical gardens. Modernized rooms with balconies, terraces feature, huge flat-screen TVs, mini fridges to put food on and pull-out sofas for extra guests. I tell you, it maybe a little bullet in you pocket but when you get there, your feeling will be amazing.

But hey, when you plan to only have a day tour, it's not really that expensive. It'll just cost you 350 for the entrance fee. With that, you have access to the pools, kid's play land, restaurants and most importantly, the breath-taking beach.

I'll show you the rates, but please don't scream. I'll warn you now HAHAHAHA. This will show you the room rates, wedding packages and conference package.

To have some fun, here are the activity rates there. Budget now, cry later HAHAHAHAHA

To have a little preview, here are  pictures:

Have a little fun in your life at the beach. Visit Canyon Cove. For more information, visit http://www.canyoncove.com.ph/

I'll leave you with this picture:

FIND YOURSELF

Isabel's Paradise

Soooo yeaaa, I'm back again with an update. This days, promoting beaches, adventure-worth places are posted in medias for those who want to travel but with an affordable budget. Well, since I have a travel blog, might as well promote mine right?

Club Balai Isabel ~ A place in Talisay,Batangas. It's one of the most famous places in Batangas where in it was very visited by some of the foreigners and the famous people here. I may say that one part of it is very expensive and one part is affordable. For the hotel rooms there are Standard Room / Superior Room / Superior Room with View / Deluxe Room / 

Deluxe Room with View /

Premium Room

. And for the Villas and Cottages, there are Suites / Suites with Attic / Orchard Lane .(If you will go for the affordable side, hotel rooms is what I recommend for you.) (VILLAS ARE EXPENSIVE! THOSE ARE ONLY FOR FAMILY GATHERING NOT FOR SOLOS UNLESS YOU ARE RICH HAHAHAHAHA) But hey, it's worth it. I tell you it really is. You'd love it as much as I do.

Recently, I went there for some personal reason. They have this new place, just connecting with the main, is the newly built "Lakefront Mansions". I'm just saying. It's expensive. From the word itself, MANSIONS, it sounds expensive. When I heard it myself from my Tita Cecille (The Owner), I almost fainted. LIKE HELLO! IT COST 17k PER NIGHT. NOT IN THE WHOLE MANSION BUT IN JUST ONE OF THE ROOMS ITSELF. Too expensive? Oh I tell you, when you see the whole room, you'd be enlighten why it is that expensive. The room comes in with 2 king sized beds, A REALLY LAGRE TV (Like 49-52 inches), plus the "Luxurious" bathroom. And the whole room and cozy and spacious. The aroma is quite pleasing. I can sleep there all day and not go out for like 3 days. I tell you, it's really gorgeous.

Aside from the inside features of this very beautiful place, the outside it quite relaxing and pleasing. This place is really big that's what they have a lot of activities. There are a lot of hidden pools but the most visited pool is the infinity pool in front of the taal lake.

I'm not going to spoil you with a lot of picture but if you really want to see, then go there for a try. Their service too is really pleasing. Everybody is really nice. 

Do me a favor and visit their site http://www.balaiisabel.com/

Love you guys! 

Remember!!

(To my Tita Cecille and Tito Nelson Terible, it's an honor to do a little bit of work for you big business) 

ROAD FEELS 2

Yaaaaa! So yea, Hey guys! Sorry for the late update because I just got back from a wonderful holiday vacation. I'm really exhausted from the whole trip. Speaking of trips, WHO WANTS TO GO ON A ROAD TRIP!! I'LL BE THE DRIVERRRR!

Ps. I am a great driver. LOL. F&F FEELS GUYS.

LONG ROAD TRIPS ~ Aren't they beautiful? Aren't they the best? Well, I mean just not for a straight 9-hours-trip without any stopovers. My ass would hurt a lot. So yea, me, myself and I love road trips. Especially with my friends who are really great companions whenever we're inside the car. They make the trip more fun. Like what I said in my previous posts, road trips are one of the best. You get to see a lot more than in your actual destination. Nothing can beat a spontaneous road trip while cruising down the highway with the sun kissing your car windows and burning your thighs. Imagine yourself with your family or friends, listening to your favorite travel playlist while sharing interesting life stories and visiting your favorite stopover locations so you can stretch and hit the road again. Or maybe you can buy food and pig out along the way.

(Need to feature this beautiful GIF of this 4 amazing people that I love! Blake Shelton, ADAM LEVINE!! Shakira and Usher.)

The good thing about driving across every road here in PHL is that you have plenty of time to think because of traffic. YAS HAHAHA YOU READ THAT RIGHT! TRAFFIC. Iw will make you wait, it's enough to make a decision on where to go and where to eat. But hey, atleast you get to spend time with friends and all. Bonding and all. Unless you're alone. That's quite lonely. Sad lifeee. Or or! When you drive at night. There's no traffic, you can go Fast and the Furious all you want just don't get caught. Just joking, to have a great road trip is having a responsible driver.  The roads are not as straight as it can be because sometimes you will take a right or a left or go around a rotonda. HAHAHA! See what I did there? Not good? Im sorry. there is no traffic and there’s nothing to look at. You can steer with one hand and one foot (If you have an automatic transmission car), so basically you’re just sitting in a rectangular figure for hours but it's still relaxing. 

The other great thing about driving across PHL are… No, wait don’t tell me yetttt. I have something more than that. I mean atleast I did. But i think i forgot buttttt waitttt! WAITTTT! It’s uhmmm… Oh yes oh no, yesssss, no, the fact that you have a lot of time to think and bond with your friends. Although maybe I already mentioned that in the upper part.

But hey, im not gonna tell everything. You have to feel it yourself. And tell me what you feel. Just comment right down belowww! And maybe I can feature you for the part 3 of this post HIHIHI. LOVE YOU GUYSSS!

REMEMBER!!!

A WATERful Adventure ❤🌊

"All good things are wild and free"

Hey yaaaa!Here I am again writing some update for my blog! There's a story why that "Adventure Quote" is inserted up there. This place I am tackling about for this update is really far from me and my place. I got there after 8-9 hours of traveling with my cousins and friends. It's really a rebel trip cause me and me cousins just decided to pack up and bring a lot of budget and let the wind drive us anywhere. We ended up in BALER!!!! WOOOOOO! So yea, it's a good thing because we bonded and somehow we found a piece of ourselves. We felt wild in a way we didn't ask permission until we were there. Also when we were doing something we shouldn't be supposed to be doing but hey, it's not that bad at all. It's just a little deviance, that's all. Free in a way we did everything we wanted where our older relatives are out of site.

BALER - a place for peace and adrenaline. I peace and serenity when you see the blueness of the sea and as the wind slowly caress your face but as a group of people try to satisfy their personal adrenaline rush, adrenaline is just above and below water, also in land. Yin Yang is a representation of the simple ambiance of Baler. You can relax all day but don't miss out the fun activities outside of your hotel. Live a little, you Potatoooo!

There are a lot of activities, drinking is included. But the most fun activities you could go into are water activities like parasailing, kayaking, etc. Most popular? SURFINGGGGG! 

You may stumble and bumble a lot in the water while you are at the process of learning and practicing but believe me, when you learn how, it's really to die for. It's really addicting to be honest but it's up to you. It's worth to try for. New adventures, yaa know. 

So by the end of the day, try everything now before you regret not taking chances. Nothing will be lost if you try something new. Just some additional experiences in life.

Peace out! Be young, wild and free!

Road Feels!! 💖🚗

Another one from the cave! I'm here again to give reasons why road trips are one of the best part of adventure! Believe me, I did it many times since I was like 13 or 12 or something. LEZ START DISSSS!

Why do I say that road trip is one of the best? You get to see a lot of sceneries along the way before you get to the place you're going to. It gives you a lot of ideas like "OOOH! Maybe I should go there next time cause it look pretty cool" or like "That place looks cute outside, maybe I should go there to check the inside, maybe it looks more greater than the outside." It gives you an idea if the place is a must.

Road trips also is a way to calm your mind. When I am upset, driving for a span of time separates me from the stress that I have. Which is reaaaally good if you ask me. It's an escape from reality. I calms me every time I want to burst, cry, give up and all the negative things that can affect my emotional state. Its just so relaxing.

Oh and and and! Road trips are the best when with companies! Whether your friends, cousins, mutual or YOUR BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND can do. They can be. Just like me, I have encountered to be accompanied by each one of the said people. Mostly with my boyfriend though. With them less stress, less sadness and more fun, more happiness. It's like you don't want it to end because everything that is happening that day is so perfect, everybody's happy, everybody is enjoying

but everyone has to leave the moment and go home. Oooops! That was a stressing statement. Maybe I should go for a road trip now! WOOOOOOO!!

Remember Wanderers,

Now go out, be under the sun and have fun with your life! Step on the pedal that will lead you to find greatness! Love you all! <3
