Sand dunes

La Paz Sand Dunes

Kodak time with Sir tootsie :)

4x4 ride was a heck of a ride, it is like a roller coaster ride but without seat belts, it will make your heart drop, requires you to stand at the back to make your ride more intense and fun.

A heart pounding and thrilling ride at the heart of ilocos norte that you must no miss.

 Step 1: Get a sand board, it has a bind belt that attached the feet to the board.

Step 2: waxed it, use to increase the speed of your ride.

Step 3 : buckle up and ride the sand

Good thing we do skate boarding, skim boarding and surfing, it is more easy for us when it comes to balancing, but the drop was to steep and scary plus the sand was to hot. It takes a lot of courage for me before trying he ride. :)

This is where you can do your sand boarding and 4x4 ride.

Short fact about Sand Dune by Encyclopedia,It is any accumulation of sand grains shaped into a mound or ridge by the wind under the influence of gravity.

Antulang Beach Resort

Antulang beach resort, a very relaxing and tranquil place. It is so peaceful,

the infinity pool overlooking the sea at the top of a hill is a salt water pool

that makes you feel you are floating in the ocean.
There is also a stairway leading you down the beach because the resort is located at the cliff of the mountain.

The mini zoo inside the resort links you to the wild, the private Jacuzzi outside each room makes your night more romantic and relaxing and if you want your stay to be more private they have a suite location where you have your own Jacuzzi and pool overlooking the sea and this is where Judy Ann Santos held her 30th birthday and where Ryan Agoncillo propose to Judy Ann Santos. (2 famous local celebrity in the Philippines).

The thrill of trail running. This is my first trail run and it was very exhilarating, the invigorating mountain air touching my face was priceless. I am so thankful that i have arthur to support and never fail to encourage me to do what i want. Climbing plus running was not easy, sore legs, tiring to the point that you can hear your heart pounding but it is fun, the people you meet (locals,childrens and mountaineers), the view that you see, fresh air, lessons in life that you learn on your way up and down and last is the smile and hello that you gave to your fellow mountaineers, newbie and locals you met, that smile gave you a push and inspiration to go forward and finish the trail no matter how hard it is :)

Black and White Affair

Finally my ate/ best friend was married, i can still remember when she was walking down the aisle i cannot help myself  na umiyak (cry cry cry), i am so happy for her.  Even if she has a wedding coordinator she still make sure that every detail counts. All the planning was worth it, from the wedding gown, entourage, groomsmen, wedding car, prenuptial pictures,catering and up to the smallest detail was executed perfectly. When i am about to give my message to the newly weds i know i am a sucker on this so i prepare my speech in this case i will not stutter but guess what my tears started falling again and my long speech became short speech, oh well. Greetings from Dingdong Dantes and Tony Gonzanga(local celebrities) surprise not only the newly weds but also the guests
