It was not a busy weekend so i decided to go to Baclaran to visit the church and to take some photos of this busy “baratillo district” but when i passed by Buendia, I suddenly changed my mind and decided to go to the bus terminal. I found myself sitting inside an airconditioned bus bound to Sta. Cruz, Laguna without any clear directions where to go and what to do. Dont ask me why, I just feel to have an adventure journey; a la Amazing Race. After almost two and a half bus ride to Sta. Cruz, I decided to visit Paete, a small town which is well known for its artistic wood crafts and paper maches products.
Upon arrival in Paete, I was impressed with the cleanliness of this town. The poblacion has narrow streets and you can walk around the town to check for pasalubong, wood carvings and papier mache shops. Aside for wood carvings, you can also find a complete range of business establishments from hardware, food shops and of course famous Pinoy Sari-sari stores. (more…)

With short planning time and limited budget, we decided to stay in Manila for the 5 day holiday. Not wanting to do nothing for these rare vacation moments, we decided to do a day trip in Pagsanjan Falls. I’ve been hearing about this place since I was a kid but I’ve never really had the chance to go so its pretty exciting to see what this place is all about.
