BALER-AURORA ADVENTURE...A Mermerizing Experience!

August 29 and 30 were declared holidays and so I and some of my co-employees took the opportunity to make an ocular in Baler, Aurora for a possible site for team-building.

Hmmm....I had the chance to unwind from all the stress. The place is amazing...Anyway, here are some of the photos that have mesmerized me....

we had a stopover  in the Pamahalaang Panlalawigan ng Aurora...

the MUSEO de BALER... 

lakad...lakad...lakad...

the overlooking view of the beach...

extra challenge sa maliit na tulay...kalokaa...

sa hanging bridge na nobody dared to cross baka kasi bumagsak...parang di safe...

Pagdating na pagdating namin sa place...I was amazed...overwhelming talaga...
there are many rocks and I came to know that the place is called the
Lukso Lukso (Aniao) islets.
To move around, you need to make lukso or HOP from one rock to another.

I enjoyed looking around and taking pics...nice place indeed...

climbing up through the rocks...

capturing the sea waves...

just trying to capture another angle of the place...

the majectic falls...ang tirik ng inakyat namin...whoaaa...I was gasping when I reached the top.

napaupo at nagpa picture...kasi parang this is another dream come true...

paakyat sa mataas na bundok where you can see the beauty of Baler...

with my colleagues...hehe..playtime...masaya lang po...

The place is indeed HEAVEN for me...nice and amazing experience to have again explored another place in our country. Thank God for the safe travel we had, thanks to our President for the opportunity and thanks to my IFG family for the memorable moments.

Communing with Nature at Initao-Libertad Prortected Landscape and Seascape

I love communing with nature and was just blessed to visit the Initao-Libertad Prortected Landscape and Seascape, a national park in Misamis Oriental...I have come to know that it is also called Initao National Park or simply "Lasang", which means forest.

THE FOREST

At the Entrance of the Protected Landscape and Seascape

to be in this place is really HEAVEN because we are all Confirmed Nature Lovers....

Being with friends to share your joy is really a great feeling....

A pose at the historical centennial tree

How about riding a bicycle in the forest?  

My first time to do this activity actually.....

I want to get the feel of really communing with the trunk of this tree...

Hmmm...it feels good

It's time for my SEXY pose....I hope it is okay with the tree....Actually I appreciate the atmosphere of tranquility in this place....how I wish I could stay longer....

 OUR CAVE EXPLORATION

We tried exploring the cave....was kinda afraid though...

The Shimmering beauty of the the Cave's Stalagmites and Stalactites

Super nice view...

I spotted a nest with eggs on it....

viewing the stalactites and stalagmites

Crawling is the name of the game....
It's now time to go out of the cave and explore other places.....


THE SEA BY THE FOREST

I always have joy in my heart whenever I am with nature....

what an amazing creation of God....I really appreciate the mystery of His creation....

An awesome place where you can hear nature sounds at its best....

Hmmm...nice place to spend alone moment....

I love this pic...I took this myself...

I am always fascinated by the sea...nature never fails to amuse me...

Oh my, I can't believe I am in this place!

at the limestone cliff.....overcoming my fears.....smile with a fear....haha....

Am a little bit relaxed now....

THE JUMP SHOT

I always asked my friends to do the jump shot with me....and they enjoy....

Of course, I have to do my signature jump shot!

It was a simple getaway or side trip but it was all worth it.  We had a great day and we had fun! Well, whenever I have a chance to be with nature, I always believe that the world is a beautiful place to live.

Setting Foot on Dawal Beach Resort and Potipot Island in Zambales

Oh YES!  We arrived in the country  April 19 and a week after, from April 25 to 27 we were out of town with our very own granddaughter, Nichole along with our family friends in Candelaria, Zambales to explore Dawal Beach Resort and Potipot Island....

Whew, after a long travel, that is more than three hours from Pampanga, we finally arrived at our destination. It was a tiring journey, nonetheless, after my ocular of the place, it was worth the long travel.

  Dawal Resort's Front Desk...very welcoming indeed....

This is the view from our window....very nice indeed....


PHOTOS OF THE RESORT

Hubby and I made our ocular and had our picture taking....

FOTO SHOOT IN DAWAL BEACH RESORT...

I love this pic....so cool....

I love beaches....It is one of the places where I can really be myself....
no hang ups no inhibitions....just being myself....

Having alone time with myself....

and to finally conclude the Foto Shoot....my most awaited JUMP SHOT...!

Overall, it was a great getaway.  I had the chance to be with Nichole and hubby at the beach and at the swimming pool.  I was able to relax and unwind too and commune with nature.  One thing I enjoyed much was my photo shoot and of course the Jump Shot which I always do in every place I visit.  

Thanks to the Ramos and Tiglao family for the invitation.  Tony and I really appreciate it.  Looking forward to another out of town summer getaway with all of you next year.
