Pasay | Millie's Breakfast Buffet (Microtel MOA)

Millie's, the restaurant in Microtel MOA, was named after the hotel president's mother. She is a very well-travelled person and the dishes of the restaurant reflect the different cuisines of the places she has been to. If you are planning to have international trips, you may want to have various online bank options. More to those cuisines, they also got a collection of the things Millie had collected during those years of globetrotting which includes numerous lighters, perfumes, pouches, passports, among others.

The Unforgettable Pico de Loro (Mt Palay-palay)

Pico de Loro Conquerors

Excited. That's how I felt before climbing the monolith in Mt Palay-palay, popularly known as Pico de Loro or the Parrot's Beak, located within the boundary of Batangas and Cavite. Who would not be? Seeing all those inviting pictures of the view from the internet, we were all totally looking forward to have our picture-perfect photo from the monolith. I even bought another shoes for trekking, a week before the climb, so I would be all set for our adventure.

Lost in the Forest: Descent in Pico de Loro (Mt Palay-palay)

I love adventure. The feeling of having a new experience to that familiar or unfamiliar place, it pushes me further, gives me challenges that teaches me different lessons and create memories that I'll never forget.

But there are just some of those misadventures that I heard from other people that I have dreaded to happen to me. And the descent from the lovely monolith and summit of Pico de Loro gave me an out of the ordinary adventure I never thought I'd surpass.

Our group during the climb, which is composed of some new found friends, travel bloggers and an old friend from college, was divided into two. When we stopped somewhere to rest, we waited for the others and decided that the first group goes back to the DENR. We, my college friend, Gino, and I, were chatting on the trail on our descent when we were left behind by some of the ones in the first group who have faster pace than us.

Photograph | Wawa Lake, Angono

Angono | Wawa Lake

It was my first photowalk with PGT last March 2, 2013. I was lucky to go there with some travel friends who are attending and, also, it will be my first to be in Angono. Well, I'm glad I did because now I know what I have been missing. I met a lot of friends and seen many art collections and galleries 'til my feet went numb. With that I can say that it is truly the "Art Capital of the Philippines" for I have seen families passing their artistic skills generation to generation, restaurants/cafes with galleries inside and even in the gates of their homes showcase the different designs of their local artists.
