Tila Pilon Hills DRT

Almost a year in quarantine and now you're eager to just stretch your legs for a bit and enjoy the beauty of nature even for just a few hours? Luckily, quarantine restrictions have eased up so we can now travel to nearby provinces. However, always remember to still observe safety protocols, okay? 😉👍 PICK YOUR DESTINATION Bulacan is starting to be known as a must-go place for adventure seekers. Hidden in every barangays are falls, caves, rivers, hills and a lot more. The once sleeping beauty is slowly awakening. And people are noticing! What makes it more appealing is that it's only a few hours away from Manila! 🚘🚗🚐 It's also very interesting to note that due to these pleasant developments, jobs and other income-generating opportunities became available to the locals. Alright, so we chose to go to Tila Pilon hills and maybe to Talon Pari falls later after our hike. Still fresh at 7:00 am 🌞 We departed from Quezon City at 5:00 am and arrived in Tila Pilon at a little p...

Things To Do During Your Homestay 2020 #CommunityQuarantineph

As we all know, Metro Manila is under Community Quarantine effective March 15, 2020 until April 14, 2020. We hope and pray that a cure for covid 19 will be found soon and everything will be back to normal 🙏 With so much time on our hands, allow me to suggest some things that you might want to consider doing during our home stay. 1. Attend online masses - Please dress properly (not in your PJ's); remember you are having a date with the Lord. You may invite your family members to join you- this is a good opportunity for you to be closer. 2. Read the bible. Meditate. Pray also for others. Do not let fear and anxiety set in.  3. Write that reflection! 😅 As a member of a diocesan formation ministry, we were invited to write our gospel reflections. Those reflections will be compiled and published as a gospel reflections book for 2021. I haven't got the time to do it yet 'coz of other things that needed my attention but now is the time! Truly, God works in mysterio...

SUNFLORA FARM!!! Sunflower fields forever!!!

Sunflora Farm, Jala Jala, Rizal WINDMILL FARM, Pililla, Rizal HOW TO GET THERE.   TRAVEL TIME. DAY TOUR ON A BUDGET.   WHAT TO DO. WHERE TO EAT.   ENTRANCE FEE. WHAT'S NEXT? #sunflorafarm #daytour So I saw this facebook post about this place somewhere in Rizal. The sunflower pictures are really pretty and though I know that Jala Jala is quite far from Quezon City, I decided to ask friends if they would like to visit the place with me. Fortunately, two of my friends were willing (haha) so we set the date for the first Sunday of March. I was eager to visit  ever since the time I saw the sunflower pics in February, but our schedules just wouldn't jibe. February would have been the perfect time 'coz back then, the weather was cool and windy and perfect for commuting! But I have no choice, I just have to wait for March! Haha. Anyway, the date did came and needless to say, I was so excited! HOW TO GET THERE : SUNFLORA FARM, JALA JALA, RIZAL 1. From ...
BALER SUMMER ESCAPADE ON A BUDGET (SAMPLE ITINERARY, DIY TOUR, COSTING, FEES, etc) Eager to take that summer escapade but nervous to go because of budget constraints? Got more time but no big cash to splurge? Fret no more! Here's a simple Baler tour that you can take and still enjoy the sun, sea and sand! First of all, why Baler? Why am I recommending it? Well, Baler has got the most awesome waves! And I mean awesome! You would really appreciate the beauty and wonder of God's creations! Even if you're a non-swimmer like me, you would still enjoy frolicking on the sand and playing with the crashing waves! Second, you don't really need to have a lot of cash to spend on an overnight stay in Baler. All you need first is to gather some of your equally eager friends and find a date when all of you are free! Oh, and for the budget? Believe me, you can survive on a budget of P1,000 to P1,200 only!!! Third, the locals are very friendly and lots of budget-friendl...
