First Fly of 2013!

Smiley I just can’t explain my feelings of excitement upon booking my flights going home and back here after almost six (6) months of not seeing my family in the province. And since I am booking my flights in an eleventh (11th) hour and a very rush time, I need to look for the cheapest airfare available. After an hour of comparing an airline company from another, I finally confirmed my flights with Tiger Airways — SEAir.  Smiley This would be my first fly in 2013!

With much excitement, as early as now, I am already packing my luggage and getting myself ready with all the presents for the kids and for the family which I still need to buy and all the stuff I need not to carry like bottles more than 500mL, any sharp objects, even single cigars, liquors and more. These all, of course, are already set in my mind to get ready for my more than a-week vacation at home.

To Book my Domestic Flights

In a very random talk, I have decided to go home. I just realized it’s almost six (6) months that I haven’t gone home. But since all things are unexpected, I need to look for the cheapest fare offered by the different airlines available in the country.

I am hooked at booking Tiger Airways, Cebu Pacific Air and Philippine Airlines. But I still need to see which one offers the lowest from the three so I could even save more.

Maybe tomorrow, I can already decide which airline I might prefer to fly with. I am crossing fingers to book the cheapest from them.

A Splashing Experience at Splash Island

This morning, I, mom, my aunts and uncle went to Splash Island in Biñan, Laguna to experience the splashing water thrills brought by the water slides and off course to beat the heat of the summer sun. So here some of the exciting photos I took during our one-day Splashing Experience at Splash Island.

There are a total of nine (9) splashing water thrill experience at the Splash Island that include Agos Grandes, Big Bam Boo, Water Wahoo, Balsa River, Rio Montañosa, Curl of the Orient, Magellan’s Drop, King Pilipit and Tausug Trails. However, because of the limited time we had, of the nine (9) exciting water thrills, we only tried five (5).

Take a look at the images below.

The Balsa River was the first water adventure we tried dipping at since it is the only water adventure which allows resorts’ guests to dip as early as 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

One thrilling water slide we tried was the Rio Montañosa, which allows not more than five (5) guests per water slide experience. But I failed to take a picture of the water slide from top because I wasn’t able to go upstairs.

The Water Wahoo, for me, is just for kids, but since it has a fountain that also allows adults to enjoy, we tried it also, then.

Another thrilling water slide we tried and I was fortunate enough to go upstairs and able to observe how guests prepared before sliding down was the Tausug Trails. If I am not mistaken, it measures as high as 52-feet; really adrenaline-boosting water slide.

Horse Back Riding in Tagaytay

Can you still remember when I, mom and M went to Tagaytay last September 2012? If you did so, one of the things we missed enjoying was horse back riding.

Yes! We weren’t able to do horse back riding because of the weather which was so foggy and a rainy as well. Though I loved to try it, mom didn’t allow me. So what I did, I just made fun watching the people who are enjoying horse back riding then. One of them, if I identified and remembered it right, wore an equestrian riding jacket which was so fashionable to look at. Some kids were afraid of the horse while other didn’t want to stop riding on it.

Hopefully, if I can visit Tagaytay back, I can do horse back riding then.
