Talima Adventure & Water Park



Wiki info
Talima Adventure & Water park was established while keeping the environment & community in mind. 
The park is located in Brgy. Talima Olango Island, which is facing Punta Engano, Mactan Island.
The park’s main attraction is the Funflatables.  Great for both children and adults, it is a water recreation system featuring a giant inflatable slide, water trampolines and water rollers.

This was our Team Building when I was still with Team Black Widow. It's an hour ride from Mactan Island. Entrance fee is about 500php which includes unlimited use of the inflatables. It was fun & exhausting at the same time. And I'm glad they had life jackets because I don't know how to swim. I know. sucks! Bigtime. And too bad we weren't able to use the Zorb ball because that was what I was excited for. But it was fun though. A 7  out of 10.

Tagaytay, to traverse ridges.



Wiki info:
Legend has it that the word Tagaytay came from "taga" meaning to cut and "itay" which means father. A father and son were said to be on a wild boar hunt when the animal they were chasing turned and attacked them. As the boar charged towards the old man, the son cried "taga itay!". The boy's repeated shout reverberated in the alleys of the ridge. Heard by the residents, hunters and wood gatherers, the cries became subject of conversation for several days in the countryside. In time, the place where the shouts came from became known as TAGAYTAY.
It is one of the country's most popular tourist destinations. Tagaytay City provides a good view of theTaal Volcano. 
Tagaytay also offers a view of Taal Lake - a lake within an island within a lake.

This was one of my checklists during my trip here in Manila when I was still an official Cebuano. I love how the wind feels so great during the ride going to Tagaytay. The picnic grove is admirable with its panoramic view and activities like zipline plus photo souvenir. I love the feeling because I saw families getting together, having fun and just doing nothing at all.

Kalanggaman Island, Our very own Beauty!


I'm proud to say it's our very own beauty. Just an hour ride from my beautiful hometown, Palompon. The clear water, the white sand, the blue sky & the tropical heat of the sun makes Kalanggaman a superb summer getaway destination.  It's simply a Paradise. You would allow yourself to be stranded with someone special.

Yoonek Feeling @ Bantayan Island






I've been to this Island 3 times but I still feel euphoric every time I visit the place.  How could you possibly get enough of the breathtaking view of the blue sea and white sand. The fun-filled island hopping to Virgin Island. The sumptuous meal by the sea with grilled meat & fish, seafood and the warm wind to make it perfect. It is one of the places that you can never get enough of.

This place is what they call "The Island Paradise" because it really is one perfect paradise. It's all worth the 3 or more hour ride going to the place. Everything you'll see there is amazing. The people, the beach, the restaus, the food and the night life. If you're stress from work and need to relax, Boracay is the place to go. Sitting by the beach, watching the sunset gives you a sense of utopia.
Added bonus: seeing Derek Ramsay, a British actor, television host & commercial model working in the Philippines. He is such a hunk. The face, the body, the skin color & the smile makes him my definition of Mr. Right. LOL.

Bohol, Cebu Philippines




This was a summer outing for Team Cool for being the top seller for the week. An hour ride from Cebu City via fast craft to the island and another 2 hour ride via shuttle to the resort. The beachfront room is a perfect choice so that you'll enjoy the view of the white sand beach. Never miss the island hopping to Balicasag Island, Virgin Island and to the sandbar. Absolutely amazing!
