Impromptu Trip To Sabang

One morning I woke up feeling so tired of the life in the metro. On an impulse, I decided to go to the port in Batangas and catch the next boat out. I ended up in Sabang, a village in Oriental Mindoro famous for its beautiful dive sites and wild night life. This is the view from the villa which I rented for P800! ;)

Chicken Pinikpikan, Anyone?

This chicken greeted us upon finally arriving in Sagada. It ended up to be a very tasty local dish called "pinikpikan." It's very similar to tinola, only, it had a smoky taste to it. Some groups are opposing to the manner this dish is being prepared because it requires beating up the chicken. Poor little bird.

Need I say more? Do the Math if you wish to do both. Haha! ;) Photo taken at a "pay restroom" somewhere in La Union. :)

Valentino Resort & Spa

We discovered a very nice mountain resort & spa in San Jose, Batangas. The resort's shades of green and blue and its cool ambiance brought about by the picturesque Mt. Maculot in nearby Cuenca make it a perfect family holiday destination. It helps when you're friends with the receptionist or the caretaker, you get big discounts. And they waive the corkage fees. ;-)
