I'll apologise for blogging my outfit late. I thought I'm gonna start blogging at wordpress but I still be needing a lot of time. 

Its the start of the series of food blogs on my site. I have this tag #EnnFoodHunt from my instagram account which from that I made a facebook album regarding all the food featured and tried. I wanted to add some details to share with all of you guys. 

-------------------

It was a night when my taste buds wanted some Japanese cuisine, honestly I wanted to have a buffet dinner at Yakimix but sadly it was an unplanned dinner with no reservations at all, so it was a full packed night at MOA. Good thing many restaurants were still available. Walking around different hospital one restaurant caught our attention. (Gonna post the link on the blog on the bottom of this post). 

Watami Japanese Casual Restaurant is an international restaurant in different countries all over Asia, (eg, Singapore, Hongkong, Malaysia, Cambodia, Korea, China and Taiwan). Just like any other Japanese Restaurant, watami have sushi, tempura, sashimi, meat, ramen, stone hotpot, skewers, beverages and desserts. 

First on the choices made was this Tonkatsu. Well, it differ from other restaurant's tonkatsu through its thickness and crunchiness with a soft tender bite. The sesame sauce added the refreshing taste that perfected the dish. 

Spicy Miso Ramen that have a good combination of spiciness and saltiness in one, others found it too salty but I think its just perfect for my taste. The broth was satisfying for me. Plus it serve way too much for my appetite so I thought it can be good for sharing. 

Last but definitely not the least, the Spicy Salmon Tempura Roll. Cooked sushi roll with that ravishing look and taste! You can taste the salmon as you have that full bite, I mean as you swallow the roll. Adding that spice makes it smooth all the way my taste bud! (I love spicy food btw). 

Hope you can check out there different branches.

We went to Hundred Islands last June 2016. But its never too late to blog about it especially that summer 2017 is coming. So here is our story and few tips when you want to visit these VIEWtiful islands. 

First thing first we went there a bit late, its already afternoon, our travel time is from Baguio City. If you want to visit the islands from the main land of Alaminos you should be there as early as 6am as possible. So we planned to push through the island visitation the next day. 

We looked for a place to stay, many locals will offer apartments for rents but they also have resorts in the area. My family decided for a apartment for rent for 24 hours with a very good accommodation. 

Up early and we get ready for our whole day trip on the Hundred Islands. 

Tips. 

Some of the houses for rent offer a boat service also. So its like hitting two birds with one stone. 

We Filipinos studied it when we were in our elementary but seeing it for the first time gave me a surreal feeling. With every islands' uniqueness from its name to whatever it features. 

Governor's Island

For the first island, we chose the Governor's Island which the PBB house is located. It was featured during Kim and Gerald's season, back then I really wanted to go here. Btw you can rent the house overnight if you want. They also have a zip line in here. 

Can't let the chance to have a touch down shot and even forgot that I'm still wearing my life vest. 

It took my breathe away! Everything was perfectly located like a jigsaw puzzle made by God. The water and the clear blue sky, the green surrounding and the white sand. I can even live to a peaceful place like this. 

On Governor's Island you can check and have a good look on the other islands near you. You can climb like you're in a hike but no matter how tiring it is it will be worth it after seeing the end point of it. 

It was really a breathtaking sight. The one you keep on seeing on lecture books during elementary was right in front of your own eyes! And it was even memorable that I shared this experience with my family. 

Marcos Island

You can find the Imelda's Cave in Marcos Island. You'll climb up again but it was easier compared to the ascend you'll make to the Governor's Island.  The Cave was at the end of the the steps and right there and then you can experience cliff diving! And end up exiting at the sea. You'll be amaze on how it was made. 

I won't let another chance to slip away to try jumping so I decided to try it even though I'm a bit nervous plus the fact that I don't know what is under the cave (the water is clear tho). When almost all of us jump, my mom took forever to decide but ended up having no courage to jump in the water. 

Quezon Island

All of us were already starving from all the activities we made. So we decided to head to another island where almost everyone go to eat, the Quezon island. A three-storey building will welcome you that holds a venue for the tourist to eat. You can bring your own food (their food is slightly pricey). You can also try different sport activities there like the banana boat (php 250 per person), zip line, kayaking, jet ski and many other water sport activities. It was also a great spot for the picture takings. 

We even visited the Children's Island where the water is not deep and was great for all the kids to swim. That's why it's called the children's island. 

Cuenco Island

The last island was a very unique one. First we thought that it was also a cave, but then as the entrance from where our boat deck, it was connected to a place which you can also eat plus try cliff diving as well. We were the happiest when we're here because my mom tried jumping! Well after all our efforts to convince her. 

You can check our youtube video regarding our trip. 

"See the line where the sky meets the sea it calls me" 

White clouds in the clear blue sky, the horizon, the calm beach waves and the fine white sand, everything is so peaceful. And just being in the midst of everything is so perfect. The best place to be if you want to clear you mind from thoughts and get-away to all things that keeps on bothering you. 

We don't plan on being here but I can say it was a memorable one. Searching for Mc Arthur in the middle of the day and found nothing but the beautiful landscape here at Lingayen Gulf. 

Wearing this small checkered sunday dress I wore from Baguio to Pangasinan and pairing it all up with my white sneakers perfected my versatile outfit.

The team woke up early and prepared just in time for the full pack second day in Baguio. 

The first stop was the one we heard at the news recently. The Valley of Colors along the highway of La Trinidad Benguet. It was just the houses of the locals painted with different colors and if you will look at it, the aerial shot will be a beautiful flower. 

Welcome to my farm! The Strawberry Field at La Trinidad. Sadly, there is no strawberry to harvest that moment but a red and green cabbage. Nonetheless strawberries were already picked and ready to sell. 

Still, I got a chance to taste what the locals here are proud of. This time its not a Strawberry taho or strawberry ice cream but a strawberry bread. A must try everyone. 

After La Trinidad farm you can stop by the Bell Chinese Church, Baguio City one of the tourist destination here. You can add it up in your itinerary once you plan to visit Baguio City. It has a very beautiful garden worth your Instagram feed. 

Check our OOTD. We really planned to have matching shirts which we bought at the store in front of our place to stay. It also matched our preferred titles. 

Marines, Army, Navy, Airforce was all the available titles you can pick. 

As we continue our trip, we passed by at Lourdes Grotto. A place you can meditate in Baguio. You can reach the top while climbing the 252 steps but you can also use your car and drive all the way up. We also left prayer intentions on the church right beside the grotto. 

You can even see a beautiful sight from the top on our background in this photo. It was a peaceful place to be. To stop by and relax. 

Just then on our way down, you can't just go to Baguio without trying the Ifugao Costume. So the team decided to try it and have our photo taken with the Locals. 

Another tourist spot well-known in Baguio was the Mines View Park. The view showcased the gold and copper mine of Benguet. The entrance to the park sells different flowers and plants, restaurants were also there, and the famous dog COCO. As you can see we bought our matchy matchy cardigan before we ascend the Lourdes Grotto. 

During Forevermore airing at ABSCBN we don't have time to visit Baguio, plus the idea that it will be so crowded and won't be a relaxing sight to see. But still we wanted to see what La Presa would look like and experience how cold it would be on the Highest Peak in Baguio City. You can see the fog behind us as we stopped by a store on the way to the top. It was indeed cold and freezing at the moment but the warm smile and laugh during our bonding moments lessen it. 

Last stop for the day was the Burnham Park. The place was a bit warm so we decided to remove our cardigan as we play the race riding our wheels. We won't leave the park if we don't try the rowing a boat here. The unripe mango or what I mean was the green one was also a must try. 

That sums up our second full day in Baguio City. 

I hope it helped you with the itinerary you can visit in the Summer Capital of the Philippines.
