Vigan Bound

 

Calle Crisologo, Vigan – Taken from Vigan’s Official Site

In a few days, I will be leaving for the UNESCO (United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization) Heritage City of Vigan, Ilocos Sur with family.  I’ve been told that it is an 8 hour ride getting there, which is fine…I really don’t mind the long ride because I absolutely love road trips! Looking out the window and seeing the lush greens and whatnot would be an absolute treat.  I’ve heard and learned a little bit about Vigan through Living Asia Channel.  I know that it is a colonial city, and influences from other Asian and Spanish cultures are still apparent within its borders.  

I am excited about seeing the ancestral homes, and other historic and architectural marvels.  I also cannot wait to send my tummy on an Ilocano gastronomic adventure too! And oh yes… I can do some shooting practice with my SLR, i hope 3 rolls of film will be enough! Hehe.

There is so much to see and so much to experience in our country.  I have done some travelling within Luzon and Mindanao, and would love to go somewhere interesting and fresh in Visayas.  Soon I can say that I have been to some of LuzViMinda and finally cross that one out on my list!

I hear talks of going to Baguio too, that has yet to be confirmed.  I’ve been there several times, but anything that will get me out of this 37 degree weather is awesome!

Oh the Gigil-ness

Horton Hears A Who made my day yesterday. And oh, here’s my ultimate source of glee in all of Nool, Katie! She is awesome, i love her.

In my world everyone’s a pony and they all eat rainbows and poop butterflies…

mmhmm….WORD!

A Dose of Pop

I am digging this song so much right now.

“Some People”

Some people kill for less
Some people find it hard to get dressed
Some people, well
Ask how old I am

Some people live in a life
Some people need more than a slice
But when it fades
When the glitter’s gone

You know it
You owe it to yourself
You won’t let it make you mad
It’s already crazy

Old and lonely when the shade is down
The brighter lights just smells their empty heads

Some people don’t get much
Some people feel they’re in touch
With spirit worlds, talking to you now

Some people just gotta say
Some people just wanna play
They get a kick when it’s all messed up

You know it
You owe it to yourself
You won’t let it make you mad
It’s already crazy

You know it
You owe it to yourself
You won’t let it make you mad
It’s already crazy

And what you thought you lost was just mislaid
All the poems written in your skin

You know it
You owe it to yourself
You won’t let it make you mad
It’s already crazy

You know it
You owe it to yourself
You won’t let it make you mad
It’s already crazy

And what you thought you lost was just mislaid
And all the poems written in your skin
