Laiya, Batangas ay Wagas

Filipinos love heading to the beach when it's summer. I don't. Maybe because I'm Chinese by blood?! It must be funny to others but I love going to the beach in the cold months of October to February. I actually feel guilty about being internally happy that it's still cold despite the fact that it's April. I wish I could sincerely shout "Climate change go away!" but deep inside me, the beach lover in me, goes "WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" 

During this cold summer, I reminisce of the time we just woke up and went to Laiya, Batangas for our beach fix December 2010. 

Isang Tingin sa Anawangin

We were planning a summer getaway. We love adventure. We love beaches. We love photo ops. We only have 2 days. Where else can we go but to the islands of Zambales!

Don't dive in Maldives.

Many are confused of how to pronounce Maldives. (I used to be one of them.) So I decided to visit the country and learn the right way. (First rule of Language, the correct way to say the words is how the native speakers pronounce it.) Apparently, it isn't Maldives with a long i like in dive, but a short i like in give.
