Viva Ilocos!

It's our Sembreak already! This travel post was supposed to be last month however I didn't have much time on blogging. Joke. I was only trying to reason out. Tinamad lang talaga ako. Hahaha. Thank God bumalik na ang kasipagan ko ngayon. Enough for intro, let's go to the point! We had our educational tour on Primar ( I love field trips! We travel to different places even walang connect paminsan sa subject). Hope I could still remember the names of places I've went. I was so excited when my teacher said that we're going to Ilocos because it was my dream to see Calle Crisologo, if you can still remember my 2nd blogpost. It is entitled Someday we'll meet Vigan. Okay so here we go! Let's visit Ilocos (Kunware tour guide muna ang epek).

Sunday

We left Angeles City at 8:00 pm. And  I didn't sleep even for a minute. Gosh. So bangag the next day!

Monday
Our first destination was at Playa tropical resort. We had a mini seminar with the owner of this. I love the place. Lots of nipa hut. Hahaha

Next, Fort Ilocandia resort. We stayed for only 15 minutes. Picture picture purposes only.

 Next, Dragon Cactus fruit farm. I bet you would love their ice cream too! Swear ;)

Next is the best part! The Bangui windmill. Finally, I was able to see it on face to face. Sobrang lakas ng alon. Scaaaaary! Haha. One of the tourist attraction din tong windmill sa Ilocos, Philippines. In this place nag shooting ang Suddenly its magic movie :) On our way, we've seen the Cape Bojeador Lighthouse, it as an historical heritage structure in Burgos that was established during Spanish era.

Afterwards, Lunch time at Villa del Mar Pagudpud. Sobrang ganda ng beach! Clear water!

After this, we went to Freddo's shop. Haha. I forgot if it was really a shop or what. Then we're supposed to go at Sand dunes however it rained that's why they cancelled it. We had dinner at Robinson mall. One and only mall ng Ilocos yun grabe. We check in at Pangil resort. I must say, I shall return! Hahaha. Why? That experience nung kagising mo tas pagkalabas mo sa terrace ma papa WOW ka sa ganda at linaw ng dagat! plus may mini caves din. Okay pero before that, Here's what happened last night.

House Party! Then Goodmorning,

Tuesday

Sad, it rained again. I wasn't able to have picture sa mini caves. Moving on, next stop was at President Ferdinand Marcos place. No inside pictures allowed. 

Next, Batac Empanada then we went kung san yung mga bilihan ng Cornicks.

After this, The great Paoay church! which is also known as St. Augustine church of Paoay. The church was designated as UNESCO World Heritage Site as one best example of Baroque churches in the Philippines. Near place is the Mariano Marcos School.

Next is, Chavit Singson's Baluarte Zoo. 

And to our last destination was at Vigan! Unfornately biglang umulaan but its okay at least nakapunta nako dun! Haha. We had our lunch sa Mcdo. No choice kase malapit yung bus namen dun and wala kameng payong. Beside it was the Vigan Cathedral which is also known as St. Paul metropolitan cathedral.

That's it! Viva Ilocos! Hahaha

Good Friday

Morning when we celebrated my brother's birthday. We just prepared Carbonara and Mango float. Instead of cake mas gusto nya kase yung Mango float kaya yun ang ginawa namen. Di kame naghanda ng marame kase pupunta kame ng Cutud kung san yung may mga nagpapapako and pinuntahan nadin namen yung kamag anak namen malapit dun kase fiesta din kase.

Nung asa Palengke na kame sobrang dame ng tao. You'll see them asa gilid ng daan nakaupo and may mga nakatayo din. Parang may inaabangan sila. I saw a bus na may mga nakasakay na mga tourist. Papunta din sila dun sa Papako. Pumunta muna kame kari tita Myrna, nakikain lang kame then pumunta na kame sa kakambal nya na si tita Rosa. Mga 25 steps siguro ang layo ng bahay. Nakikain kame ulit dun at dun kame nag stay muna. After mga ilan minutes nung nagpahinga na kame nagdadalawang isip yung mga kasama ko kung pupunta pa sila kase daw sobrang init dun. Pero sabe ko minsan lang naman tyaka andun narin naman kame eh. Kaya ayun pumunta kame kasama ko si mama, tita Pet ko, tatlo kong kapatid and yung pinsan namen na taga dun para may tour guide kame:)) Nung nakapunta nakame dun sa daan kung saan dumadaan yung mga papako and namamalaspas. Nakipag sabayan kame sa sobrang dameng tao. Sobrang inet! Solid. Along the way may mga pabalik na mga namamalaspas. Tapos na sila. Pag pala pumupunta ka dun di pwedeng di ka matatalsikan ng dugo. Kaya halos car, damet and kung ano anong gamet ay may talsik tyaka mas maganda daw kung naka white kang damet.

As in katabe ko lang yung mga yan. Malansa yung mga dugo nila. Okay, tuloy padin ang paglakad sa mainit na araw. Nag shortcut kame and nung nakarating na kame sa bukid kung san ginaganap yung pagpako. Ay grabe naman ang inet. Sumisingaw ang inet! Pinakamainit na panahon dito sa Angeles x 10!!

 You'll see the sky here color blue pero pag doon color bright yellow! Haha. Sobrang dameng tao. Taong may Dslr, taong amercano, taong pilipino, taong nagtitinda, taong taga media, taong nagpapapako, taong nakasakay sa kabayo, taong taga pako at marami pang iba. May gate pass sa luob kaya di kame makakapasok. Ang dameng reporters and media from different networks and parang yung setup talaga parang may nag shoo-shooting.

Nung nakapag picture nako di nakame nag stay. Duh?! Ang inet kaya. try mo? So then umuwi nakame ulit dun sa bahay ng tita ko. And along the way, may mga namamalaspas pa kame na nakasalubong. Natalsikan kame. Nag pahinga kame muna ng ilang oras tas umalis nakame dun pero dumaan muna kame kung san lumaki yung nanay ko. Pinakita nya yung date nilang bahay sa Aurea and nagstay muna kame ng konti sa kaibigan nya date. Nung nasa Angeles nakame sakto may prusisyon kaya nag picture ako habang bumibili sila mama ng Dvd and fruits.

Sakto umulan nung last shot ko kaya agad na kameng umuwi. Filipinos continued they're walked despite of the rain. Faith from what they believe is talagang nakakabilib. Here is one of the traditions done at Philippines.
