Infinity Pool @Luljetta's Hanging Garden Hello Beshys! The first Hanging Garden in the Philippines and the latest addition to the main attractions of Loreland Farm: a well known destination in Antipolo. They call it Luljetta which I always mispronounced, located in Brgy. San Roque, Antipolo City, Philippines. It is literally seated on the edge of a cliff hanging on a mountainside with an epic view of Manila's skyline, where Antipolo City is well known for. Inside Loreland Farm and Resort compound For the trip, it was supposedly  a surprise birthday escapade for my one true love (CHOS). It was actually planned as a surprise but due to my "kadaldalan", he eventually figured it out days before it even happened. So much for my surprise birthday gift! :( First thing to do, if you have plans to visit  the place is to book a reservations by visiting their website www.bienvenidos.com or Reservations@loreland.com.ph.

The Sweet Volcanic Escape!

Taal Volcanoe Taal Volcano is the second most active volcano in the Philippines. According to a source, it has 33 recorded eruptions and was formed by a single eruption prehistorically between 140,000 and 5,380 BP (taken from Wikipedia). It is an island in the middle of a lake called Taal and is located wholly in the province of Batangas, the northern half of it is under the jurisdiction of Brgy. Talisay whereas the southern part of it to San Nicolas. It is also considered as one of the most attractive view in the Philippines. A picturesque view of Taal Volcanoe from Skyranch, Tagaytay. Enough with the history. It was Saturday morning when we decided to escape the busy streets of Manila and visit Tagaytay. A city known for its cooler climate and outstanding scenery. Going there is much more easier than downloading a series of Game of Thrones, it will only take you 2-3 hours or a 55 km bus ride from Cubao terminal (or a much lesser travel time using your private car)

A picture of Bangon falls in San Roque Northern Samar. The trails to Bangon falls is muddy and watery. In the picture, we have to wear maong pants to avoid scratches and insect bites along the tricky path. Here's a picture of the bridge on the way to our destination. Say "HI" to our small tourguides. "The Hikers" An unforgettable "buwis buhay" path before arriving at our purpose. 1st stop: Another falls we encounter before arriving at Bangon. Welcome to Bangon falls. An unexplored beauty in the heart of San Roque. Relaxing from an almost 2 hrs hiking and feeling the vibes of the place. A diving spot for adventure seekers ;) "The monkeys" My epic "buwis buhay jump" where I almost expired. Thanks heaven for answering my prayers. Jealousy had taken over me so badly, I needed to jump, I owe my life to that amazing stick. ;
