La Mesa Ecopark is within La Mesa Dam Watershed. It is located in East Fairview Subdivision in Quezon City. Thanks to the joint partnership of MWSS, ABS-CBN, and Quezon City local government for turning this neglected area into a well-developed park which is now an ideal spot for communing with nature and indulging in healthful outdoor activities. This is a perfect getaway for a family or group of friends, especially on weekends.
Mama the Queen, the celebrant, and her happy smile
It was a gloomy weekend when we visited my in-laws in Binangonan, Rizal. After lunch, we indulged ourselves in eating ice cream for a cool treat. Still can’t resist the noontime heat, my hubby suddenly enjoins everyone to go to Daranak Falls in Tanay for a swim. To my delight, everyone agreed. At last, my longing to get there will finally happen any minute from now! Yahoo!
The refreshing view Daranak Falls
We left Manila around 5:00 am and headed to Subic in Zambales to celebrate our mother’s 59th birthday for a beach escapade in no particular resort. With our van, travel time took us two and a half hours only. It was almost 7:30 am when we arrived at Subic Bay Freeport. We all hopped out and walked around at the first resort we visited.
The serene feel
It was so rejuvenating to revisit the Cagsawa Ruins and the Mayon Skyline (formerly called Mayon Resthouse), with our first time at Busay Falls this morning. We ended our day in a cool refreshing dip at Dhio Endheka Spring Resort located in Barangay Buang, municipality of Tabaco. We were so thankful to my uncle, Tito Jaime for providing his jeepney and his driver Danny on our road trip to my humble hometown, Albay.
We are all ready to get down and swim!
We saw traces of typhoon Reming’s aftermath when we visited our relatives in Albay this Lenten Holiday. It was so pathetic as our uncle, cousins, and friends told their stories during and after the catastrophe. But somehow, they were slowly recovering from their losses.
Summer heat hits the entire region so off we went for a sojourn in my beloved hometown Albay. We’ve been told by our relatives that it was raining the past few weeks. But I was so thankful because the weather was very cooperative the moment we arrived at our vacation house in Malinao.
