Dancing on top of the highland

*************** Reaching, as I was making my way up, I smiled. When was the last time you saw me did that? I was dancing on top of the highland, I'm glad. Happy for the first time we met. Over looking the blues & greens, it was splendid! Far from the hustle & bustle metro city life. You think you're invisible, But you are not.... It's not so hard to notice you. No, not that guy. Unfortunately. He is just too cute to not be in the picture. I was actually talking about the scenery. Seriously :) The real reason I was dancing! Haha :D ***************

Another backdated post. I came to a realization that I haven't finished posting about my trip last year. I could not really tell the exact location as this was when we were on the way to Tagaytay Highlands. Date : 25 November 2007 Location : Somewhere in the Philippines After the visitation to the Jeepney factory back in Sarao, we headed to the road to Tagaytay. You can read my previous post here . This is the continuation. Our Pinoy driver, told us to try one of the local product. Since it will be few hours till we reached our destination, we stopped by at Colette's.  Just another chain of Colette's you will find selling their famous buko pie. :) Note : Pasalubong is actually something you could bring or give to someone as a gift. Here is what in store for Colette's little corner shop. You could find various kinds of sweet and snacks on the shelves & display on the counter. Everything is nicely packed for everyone to bring home & enjoy. Plus it is locally mad

This is one of my backdated post. Date: 25/November/2007 Sunday Location : Jeepney Factory sa Sarao After the visitation to the Bamboo Organ Church, we went to visit the Jeepney factory. It was a short but sweet visit. Such a memorable one. I could still remember the locals trying to make us purchase the mini jeepney. Heehe they look kinda desperate but nah, I didnt even bought one. I managed to run away from them. The sentence,"Pilih na ma'am" still fresh on my mind. Haha. We even saw the old school kind of jeepney. Very classic indeed. Reminds me of an old black and white film pictures. Heehe. For those of you who did not know what a jeeney is, Jeepney is actually a type of transportation available in The Philippines. The cheapest ride to travel around town and it is the most famous mode of transport there. I wonder how is it if there is a Jeepney here in Malaysia? Hmmm.... Just wondering. =) Since I am soO lazy to do the explaination, I guess I better leave you guys wi

So this entry is kinda late but alam mo its better than never diba ? Ooppsiee I'm starting to mix my English with Tagalog here....So bare with me ;) This was my second day in the Philippines Date : 25 November 2007 Location : The Bamboo Organ Church in Sarao We attended Sunday mass sa church and it was in Tagalog language mind you! The songs are all beautiful and I got to sing my 1st Tagalog church song. :) It really helps knowing about the language. Pero Konti lang ! Hee xD Everything here is made out of bamboo. Very nice and creative indeed. The church is historical and the structure are solid & it's siyempre maganda yun ! This church even got their own gallery displaying about the church's history. Because of it's over populated country, they have church mass service every hour. Unlike in my place, hometown here in Malaysia, They only have 3 church mass on Sunday. It is so much different there. And because of it's famous historical story too, many tourist

Okay,okay since everyone is asking me to update about my trip in the Philippines.... And since I've got my Internet back already & I could send text messages through too! Yay! So here goes to my fellow loyal readers....Heehe =p I had not slept the few hours before my departure.Most probably I was too excited to mentioned. Luckily someone was kind enough to accompany me and don't even mind getting to bed late! Such a darling you are....Heehe ;) So, I was also worried about the weather but thank God it didnt rain after all. My flight was okay. And we arrived safely with my family members in Angeles City/Clark/Pampanga area later that evening. It was a rather tiring journey as we went straight to the town of Metro Manila from the Macapagal Airport. It took us about 2 hours to reached there. The last time I was there, we stayed overnight at a hotel nearby the airport so I didn't felt that tired feeling. I'm glad we got a nice Sabahan tour guide, Jazz & a nice Filipi
