Our Taal Vista Staycation

What joy it was when I had a staycation in Taal Vista Hotel with someone special. After picking up Sue at the airport, we went straight to Coastal bus terminal where we got a ride going to Tagaytay.

A Walk Within the Streets of Binondo

Located across the Pasig River from Intramuros, Binondo has typified a small Chinese town, and is referred to as the local "China Town". The district is the centre of commerce and trade for all types of businesses run by Filipino-Chinese merchants.

Exploring Mt. Daraitan

xploring new places is what I like the most.. Those places not so much visited, nature well-preserved, great view, calm environment.

Bucket List: Mt. Pulags Sea of Clouds

It took me quite a while to be able to said 'YES' to the several invites given by scouting colleagues in high school. And finally, I did it! I was able to climb and reach the summit of the highest mountain in Luzon - MT. PULAG.

Conquering Mt. Pico de Loro

Considered the highest mountain of the province of Cavite, Mt. Pico De Loro (also known as Mt. Palay-Palay) is so called because of a unique rock formation near its summit. Pico De Loro, in Spanish, means Parrot’s Beak.

Wings of the World Officially Launched..

Early this summer, I returned once more to Jest Camp/Magaul Bird Park for another exciting launch. It was the day that they officially launched "Wings of the World".

Wings of the World will present talented birds show off onstage with cute stunts right before your eyes. And they were really cute. All I was saying during the show was "Wow!", "Ohhh", "Cute!"..

What a way to start the show..

Audience participation..
Who's the quickest bird in this game..
Jam packed with audience..
TV personality, Kat de Castro at the launch..

What thrilled me most was to be able to see an eagle gaze over the audience. 


And lastly, the finale showcased half a thousand of birds in one stage. How cool was that!

Experience Extreme Up High in Tree Top Adventure!

Experience extreme adventure and extreme relaxation at Tree Top Adventure Baguio, the only motorized zipline in the Philippines and the only Team Building facility in Baguio. With seven outdoor activities and team building facilities, located within Camp John Hay, surrounded by pine trees and overlooking breathtaking views, Tree Top Adventure Baguio offers an adventure of a lifetime.
 
For the thrill seekers who want to experience extreme adventure, you might want to experience our Tree Drop in which you’ll be suspended 60 feet above the ground, mission impossible style and you’ll be falling as fast as 2 to 3 seconds. This Tree Top’s most extreme activity costs Php 150.00 only and this is one way to really quench your thirst for adrenaline rush. You might also want to try our rides done in pairs: the Superman Ride and Silver Surfer. As the name implies, you’ll be ziplining, Superman Style, 200 meters long, 150 feet above the ground, but instead of doing it just forwards, you would also be ziplining backwards. Silver Surfer is a 60 degree diagonal motorized zipline in which you’ll be standing on a specialized platform and you’ll be gliding up and down for three cycles. Expect that there would be stops and swings for every cycle. For Php 300.00 and Php 200.00 respectively, you could experience what superheroes feel as they fly and glide through the air.

Canopy Ride

Skywalk  
 
For those who want to experience extreme relaxation, you could try the Canopy and Funicular ride which costs Php350.00. The Canopy is similar to the concept of cable cars, but instead, you’ll be seated on cable chairs in which you’ll be transferring from one station to another until you complete all eight stations. When you reach the station four of the Canopy, you would walk for around 2 to 3 minutes to be able to reach the connecting ride of Canopy which is the Funicular ride. This ride is similar to the concept of elevator, but, instead of standing up, you’ll be seated. This is at least a way for you to conquer your fear of heights. But, if you really have extreme fear of heights, you could just avail the Trekking and Skywalk in which you would walk around Tree Top’s area and go up the skywalk area, or the viewing deck in which you could see the mountains of Itogon, Benguet or what they call the old Baguio before. You could stay at the Skywalk areas long as you want to take pictures and feel the cold breeze.

If your company plans to have a convention or seminar at Baguio, you might want to experience our Team Building Activities which includes two high element activities (Tree Drop and Silver Surfer), five low element activities, boodle lunch and facilitators for just Php 800.00 per head only.The activities would really challenge each member and how they work with their workmates. Work and play, as the cliché says!

Tree Drop

You might also want to try another branch of Tree Top Adventure Subic located at the JEST Area, Upper Mau Cubi Point Subic Bay Freeport Zone. For more information, you could contact (074) 442-0800 or 0932 404 1112. You could also visit our website www.treetopadventureph.com.

An Adventure Rises from the Ashes

How great it would be that a vast area of volcano ash would become an exciting place to have fun and adventure.

Few months ago, I got a chance to visit yet another adventure park located in Porac, Pampanga, a place unlikely to think of (well, that is for me). But it was a perfect place to have an adventure. 

Welcome to Sandbox!


Sandbox is an outdoor adventure park in Ayala Land’s emerging 1,125-hectar metropolis, Alviera. And it has I may say, the exciting to extreme adventures one can find.



AERIAL WALK

Quite unfortunate for me not to experience it. The line seemed limitless.. People, kids and kids at heart waited for their turn. I will try it some other time.



GIANT SWING

This is one thing I don't want to try again. Last time I experienced same thing in another park, I felt like dying. Heart and stomach left 30-feet high above ground.

Prepare yourself for the ultimate swing of your life..
TIP: Scream!


ADVENTURE TOWER

When I first saw this towering structure, I said to myself, "I got to try this no matter what!" There goes my adrenaline rush. It has wall climbing, rappelling and the free fall.


And there I go! (photo credit: Jinkee Umali)


ATV & UTV

Now here's something extreme! These all-terrain vehicles can take you to Alviera’s 1,125-hectar property that cuts across mountain terrains, Pampanga’s lahar trail, water ways. 


From here...
To the grasslands..
Rocky roads..
Then this! Talk about having a playground..
Joyride!
More joyride!
But here's my ultimate advice before you try one of these.. If in any reason that you feel doubtful of driving, PLEASE don't think of driving. Think of safety first. Either the ATV or UTV are heavy and takes ultimate precaution in driving. I could drive go karts but this one is different and way bigger. I chose to be a passenger with the guide.


ROLLER COASTER ZIPLINE

It was not yet done when we visited Sandbox but to show you how it looks like and somehow see the thrill of trying it; here's a video.




Other attractions of the Sandbox include a huge sandbox playground for kids, picnic areas, the mini-golf with pitching areas, and camping sites. There’s also a gazebo, where food corners are located, and a flexi-use open field behind the Adventure Tower where hobbyists can enjoy other outdoor activities such as Frisbee, RC plane, kite-flying and kite-making workshops. The field can also be used as a concert venue.

The Sandbox is open from Tuesday to Saturday, 9 am to 5 pm. They offer several packages depending on which attractions you want to try. For more information and other announcements, visit the Alviera web site at www.alviera.ph or www.facebook.com/AlvieraPH.
