Summer is fast approaching and what better way to kick start your summer than by planning a trip to the beautiful Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte. This place isn't overrun by tourists yet, but it's getting there. So head on out - now. Pagudpud's beaches are beyond amazing: long stretches of white sand and crystal clear blue water will surely leave you in awe. Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte is located at the northernmost tip of the Luzon Island. 

When my parents surprised us with a 3-day trip to Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte on Christmas break, I just could not contain my excitement. It will be my first time going to a place so far from home and I was looking forward to it. We went there using our car and it took at least 10 to 12 hours from Manila to Ilocos Norte.

The place was marvelous. We first went to the Cape Bejeador Lighthouse in Burgos, it's a 19th century octagonal structure finished with baked brick. It still works today and also houses a small museum. We also went to the infamous Bangui Windmills. Their purpose is to provide electricity to the entire province of Ilocos Norte. Although, the stark white, 70-meter windmills jutting out of the beach also offers a stunning view and is totally Instagram worthy!

If you're looking for a more historic place to visit, you should definitely visit Malacanang of the North. This mansion used to be the house of ex-president Ferdinand Marcos in Ilocos. You'll even see a fantastic view of the Paoay Lake in the veranda at the back.

Now don't forget about the streets of Vigan! I have seen a lot of beautiful pictures of Vigan on the internet and being present there felt like a dream. The kalesas, cobblestone streets and European architecture of houses bring a strong feeling of history. Its like you're in the olden times. 

We also went to Pagudpud beach and explored the many beautiful waterfalls in Ilocos Norte. This place was truly memorable. Im blessed to have explored and visited such a wonderful place.

You wanna know what the best beach in the world looks like? This is it. This is the White Beach in Boracay in the Philippines. This white beach is 4 kilometers of pure white powdery sand. 

It was my first visit here during May 2015 with my family and relatives. 

Boracay, about an hour flight from the Philippine’s capital, Manila, is tiny. But, what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for on its performance. It’s a home for playing, partying, and just playing pandemonium. You would definitely love this place. A great way to see the island, is to ride the local tricycles. Four rides can just take you anywhere in the island, and it’s even cheaper for a short ride. The Philippines is made up of 7,000 islands, which for you and me, means quality seafood that is cheap and fresh. There is no shortage of things to do in Boracay. But my tip for a great day out is to head to Ariel’s Point for a spot of diving. The place i stayed in at Boracay is at Astoria which is located at the beachfront of Station 3. There are a bunch of rooms to choose from, including beautiful standard rooms.

During sunset, you can see the nice view from the beautiful beach, but at station 3, it can get crowded. It is now busy and built up but sit and watch the sail boats at sun down with a beer or cocktail and you could be in paradise.

I had a great time for myself to relax. To feel the beauty of God’s creation. In a place busy of boracay, here you find the haven of peace.

Last summer, me and my family went to universal studios, Japan. Universal studios in a very big amusement park, with fun rides, amazing sceneries and really delicious food. The workers there were very accommodating, they were very nice and jolly. It was such an amazing trip! if you’re going to Japan, you should consider going to Universal Studios! You’ll have so much fun!

 If you don't wanna wait in line for the rides, I recommend you to get the express pass. Its gonna save you for waiting in line!
