A Little of Sipalay (Negros Occidental)

To know more about Siplay City here's a link of their official website: http://www.sipalaycity.gov.ph/

Going to Sipalay we had a 5 hrs. of road trip on Ceres Bus Liner. :) I only had a day to enjoy the place so I had very limited time and activities that have done.

Subic Adventure (March 19, 2011)

Last March I had a Pre-summer vacation with my two office mates/friends at Subic. :)It was my very first time to travel outside our  City with just friends. We had a 3 days vacation.
We arrived at Pasay at around 7 pm and we took the Victory Liner Bus for transportation going to Olonggapo. It was a 5 hrs. of road trip. We arrived at the place around 12 am, we stayed at an Inn overnight. We were like back packers, coz we carried our things all through out our trip. hihi^^.

The trip was so refreshing, relaxing, tiring, funny, exciting, happy, all mixed emotions. But it was worth the trip especially if your an animal lover. :D

I suggest you make reservations before going to Subic, or if your in a budget, find an Inn at Olonggapo. Olonggapo is near Subic Bay, it might look far at the map but really its very near, just a one jeepney ride. And warning: Do not ride a jeepney with a sign of Subic Zambales, never.. or else you'll experience what we have experienced..haha^^ good thing we realized it was not the right road, so we went back to Olonggapo and ride the correct Jeepney going to Subic Bay.

The means of transportation going to Ocean park, Zoobic and any park at Subic Bay is Taxi. You can see the taxi rates when you arrived at the gate going to Subic Bay.

Subic Bay


We were able go to Ocean Park Adventure and Zoobic Safari since we only had a day to enjoy the trip. There are more places to go, but that's the time we have, better luck next time. So when you arrange a trip going to  Subic, maybe a 3 days stay is enough to try and visit all the places there.


Here's some of our Pictures:

Dessert Treat @ Carlo Ristorante Italiano

 I was invited  together with my other office mates for a dessert treat from Miss Rhon. She picked the restaurant herself, for she wanted to look at the place and try their food too.

Carlo Restorante Italiano has been on business ever since I could remember. I have heard about the place from my father a couple of times and he even brought some delicious pizza from the place.


It has a cozy ambiance and   impressive food offerings. But we only tried their dessert, it's called "Cassata", It was served iced chilled and according to the waitress best taste with wine. I let her pour a little bit of wine only, but I think the taste was not good, because when you taste it, the twist of wine doesn't go with the taste of cassata for my taste.
