Old and new confessions, travels, adventures, wishes and dreams of a nomad, a bookworm, a Wiccan, a fashionista, and alas, a super sexy mommy wannabe! Into my world I welcome you, come take a peek.
After our little beach trip at Dungaree Beach, we headed to the Duty Free area to window shop supposedly. But we ended up buying a bottle of of Korean Aloe Vera Juice & Mandarin Juice, Korean noodles, Korean ice cream sandwich, imported chocolates and other food. This was also where I got my Ryka sneakers, Rider slippers and Peter's Nike rubber shoes. ^_^
Come dinner time, we wanted to go somewhere we've never tried before. So when we saw Texas Joe, we just had to taste their all American dishes! It was pricey but worth it.
Last March 6, 2010, Saturday, Ninette, Peter and I headed to Subic. We wanted to find a nice beach where we can just relax and enjoy the summer heat. We've already tried All Hands beach last February, so we went to the one near it, which is Dungaree Beach. Both beaches by the way are located just after the airport. When you reach the end of the road near the airport, instead of going to Zoobic on your left, you turn right. After a few minutes, you will see the beaches on your left.
After my Momolicious birthday lunch at Momo with my hubby and my Max's birthday dinner
with my family, we now come to the adventurous part of my being 32.
See, I've never felt more alive and happy and so I wanted to honor my 32
years here on Earth by doing something I have never done before. This
includes braving rides such as the TREE DROP which I already previewed here on my blog, CANOPY RIDE and INTERACTIVE FREE FALL at Treetop Adventure
in Subic. We were supposed to do Superman and Silver Surfer too. But
the Canopy ride took a lot of time and Super Man ride was undergoing
maintenance when we went there on my birthday weekend last Feb. 21,
2010. So we'll just do the other 2 dangerous rides another time, like
say, this coming weekend, (which is in a few hours from now!) when
we go to Subic again with my hubby and girlfriend, Ninette this time.
^_^ Before I leave, I just want to share this travelogue first.
That
day, Feb. 21, 2010, started smoothly. We went out of my parents' house
in San Mateo Rizal at about 6:00 am that Sunday morning. Thanks to
SCTEX, by 8:00, we were already in Subic! We were all feeling quite
hungry by then so breakfast at Jollibee was in order. It took quite a
while for our orders to be served. There were so many people there that
day. I guess it wa sbecause Feb. 22 was declared holiday for students
and lo and behold --- many of these students (and their parents)
decidedto take a day trip to Subic that same day. After our Jollibee
family breakfast, we headed to Treetop Adventure and had the rides of
our lives! Come and see!

This is Tree Top Adventure, a park where the beauty of unspoiled forest presents itself as a perfect backdrop for your holiday activity.
We invite you to experience nature tripping from a breathtaking view – from 100 feet above the ground! With jungle trails comprised of platforms nestled on branches, suspension bridges, and the world’s first motorized canopy tour, what we offer is more than just the peak of excitement.
Learn new things; with fresh eyes, we encourage you to explore. Find inner peace as you go through a natural sanctuary hidden by foliage. Or at the very least, conquer your fear of heights. Tree Top Adventure offers each one a personal journey, with unforgettable memories as dense as the forest that you won’t help but feel closer to the ones you take this most marvelous trip with.
After a very “fruitful” night,
Peter and I woke up early the following morning feeling refreshed and
rejuvenated. As we had our breakfast cooked, we headed straight to the
beach hoping that Peter could catch some waves and get to surf. As for
me, my body still shivers at the thought of being out there in the open
sea so I opted to just body board for a little while and just watch
Peter from afar. The current was so strong that in just seconds of being
in the water, it immediately dragged Peter at the far left side of the
sea. Scary!
Gosh,
it’s Saturday morning after shift at work and I’m not yet sleepy… I’m
missing the beach a lot even though we’ve just been there last weekend.
Too bad, we’re attending the blogging event later at UP and the after
party at Katips. Actually, I’m not even sure if I’ll be able to go to
the Summit coz I bet I’ll be super sleepy by then and I’m surmising that
it might be boring. And if ever I will have the energy to travel this
afternoon, I might just go shopping and attend Irene’s baby shower. But
all of these things will depend on my state of health and if Peter can
drive me all the way to Marikina since I think he is obliged to attend
the Blog Summit. Oh well. Whatever! I miss the beach… Huhuhu… So to
appease myself, I’ll just post the remaining things that happened last
weekend when we went to Zambales…
It’s
the middle of summer so what do you expect? Of course I’ll spend as
much of my free time as possible at the beach! Regardless of the fact
that I’m already getting as burnt as a coal and the sun’s rays are A
LOT hotter than the previous years (no thanks to global warming). So
last weekend, after packing all my beach attire, gadgets and gizmos in a
trot, off we went to San Narciso, Zambales
to explore Crystal Beach, one of its more famous beaches known for its
great surf, kind locals and great ambience! Never mind the fact that I
haven’t slept in 24 hours and looking (and feeling) like a zombie, I was
still very much excited to go. It’s just me, my hubby, and our four
girls. Yep, we brought them with us — Samantha (our ever lovely adopted basset hound), Didi (our ever reliable yellow surf board), Bebe (our sturdy and uniquely-shaped green skim board) and Pupu
(our ultra mighty purple body board). Despite the fact that Peter and I
were both excited, we were also preparing ourselves for the worst like
what happened the other weekend when we went to Calatagan and ended up in Nasugbu.
