Nuvali Evolving

Want to spend a really good weekend without going too far away from metro?
Then Nuvali is perfect for you. Nuvali has a seldom places you can visit, restaurants, coffee shops, bazaars and many more,


Since one of my friend is having her birthday we decided to spend the whole afternoon on Nuvali.
That's my friend on the picture. The Birthday Girl!



Our day starts with heavy rain, making us want to go back on out bed and succumb into slumber. But then the sun start shining and the rain stops leaving heavy mark of water and mud, making our shoes kinda dirty.

Since S&R is near nuvali, we decided to buy some pizza and stay there. But seems like the heaven won't let us because the line is reallllllly long we just decided to go to Bon Chon and eat our lunch there. Goodbye Pizza of S&R :(

I forgot what we ordered but as far as I can remember it has chicken stips with fried rice and also they make us choose three different sauce. We also ate the clear noodles, that is similar to the local filipino pancit. All in all, we make our tummies really satisfied.


We saw avlot of coffee shops and restaurants near the place, like crisostomo, starbucks, kenny roggers, and many more.
After eating with our hearts out, we decided to stroll around the ayala mall and along the way we saw the bazaar and the good looking cages up the tree. It's just so lovely I wanna take them home! Can I? Omo....
We're so suppose to go back here at night to see how the bulbs look like when they have light but we're to exhaust to walk back again here haha. I wonder how my room would look like in the future if I decorated it with this? Or maybe I'll use smaller bulbs because this one is just too big xd.
This one looks like a small temple upclose, I don't know what is this for? But I almost took it home! Ugh How I wish I did took that home :( I wanna see it again, it's just so cute.
I just bought some specs in a really low price! I really love my new specs however I saw this after and take a shot of this cute three-I-don't-know-what-to-call haha. 


Me and my friends become so tired from walking around. We stay near the lake and watch the beautiful sun rise. Oh you can try boating too if you want! The kids looks like they are really having fun. I tried it too last year with my sister. I think the boating fee is around P50-150 per head. And the ride took not lest than five minutes. If you have sea sick then you can try other activities like biking.
An instagram-worthy-shot...We're so tired from walking and eating around that we just watch the beautiful sunset. 
The day woudn't be completed without a cake right? A very endulging ice cream cake from contis was what we ordered. I'm really satisfied with the taste and texture of it. Love lots to the owner!

ANAWANGIN COVE




See the wonders of Anawangin Cove





I never thought that my summer this 2016 will be this exciting. Unlike the other years, I would spend the whole summer sleeping-eating-then-sleeping again for the whole season. My mom surprise me that we will go to a beach not too far from the rural area. I was really exited and even bought a bikini for that special trip. However, I was not really comfortable to show off some skin.

The trip to Pundaquit is tiring and thrilling since we don't know it's exact location. We're kinda challenge with the thought that we really need to go there. Thanks to the google map! (we're not lost, just delayed because of the few stops) We finally make it to our destination after the five hour ride from Quezon City. It's already almost noon when we got to the pundaquit, so it's really hot at that time (take note it's summer so don't forget to bring a sunblock). We found a very helpful owner of boats and they let us rent their parking lot for Php200.00 (over night) and the boat for Php1,000.00. I was really happy at that time. I even take a lot of selfies even before boarding on the boat.

The ride to Anawangin Cove is fun, I even make friends with the gals on the other boat who wave at me. The view from the fifteen minutes boating from the town proper to the island is full of bliss. It's a God's creation that no one can compare of.
Here are some of the pictures I take while riding the boat.














After the boating ride I was very overwhelmed with how simple the people live in here. I got to experience something as awesome as this, Instead of coconut trees, pine trees where planted here. 

These Pine trees are called Agoho Pine trees, they also produce small pine cones compare to the original one. Under the shade of these trees is where we build a little camp site and sleep overnight.

At the end of the day, its nice to have a silent walk with yourself and just digest the beautiful view and its sunset, 


However, you cannot miss trying there henna (fake) tattoo, it's something to be remembered and to be treasured. I simply choose the design of a dreamcatcher. A dreamcatcher for me has a deeper meaning, it just not take the nightmares away from us. It something that guard us through our sleep.



It's not fun having a tattoo if you're not gonna show it off right?
So on the very next day after we finished trekking the small mountain near us. I take a dip for the last time on the anawangin beach.
Of course don't forget to buy 'pasalubong' for you friends and other relatives!!!
