Who needs a quick hike and not too far away from metro manila? Maybe this is the place for you. Treasure Mountain is situated in Tanay, Rizal. You can get on top of it for 30 minutes of walking, easy right? The view on top is breathtaking feels like you own the place. We didn't get a chance to see the sea of clouds because we arrived in Tanay at 8am, we only witness the fog. The cold breeze makes me wanna stay longer while looking at the mountains. Sometimes you just have to be on the place where no social media exist, when all you have to do is relax and free your mind. I also like the "Duyan" concept here, it's so cool.

A lovely place to have a romantic date with your loved ones or just a chillin' spot with your friends. Yellowbird opens at 7am so you could enjoy their delicious breakfast. Their milkshakes is a must try too. I love how the place is well organized and maintained. The minimalist designs, the decors, the staffs are all thumbs up. Just a little bit disappointed with the servings of the food. You may also reserved the place for parties/events.
Daranak Falls is known for it's turquoise water but sadly when we came here the weather is not that good. Just a piece of advice, don't come here when it's raining because the water turns brown. There are two major falls here; daranak falls and Batlag falls (5-10 minutes walk from Daranak). If you really want to just have a quick trip, this place is perfect for you especially when you're near Rizal area. Tour Guide is not advisable because you could just walk going to the falls. Jumping in the falls is allowed as long as you know how to swim, if not you can rent the inflatable.
Lakawon is also called Llacaon, is a banana-shaped island off the coast of Cadiz in the northern portion of Negros Occidental. It is a white sand beach island that offers a lot of activities. While the Tawhai floating bar is just 5 minutes away from the island via pump boat. If you really want to go here just a booked a flight from Manila - Bacolod and ride a bus from North Bus terminal to Cadiz. It took us 1.5 hours to go here.

offers you a spectacular views of islets that surrounded by a lagoon.
THE INFINITY POOL
Yes, it was very stunning but you need to take the stairs going up. I'm so in love with the view, after all the long hours of travel, a bumpy tricycle ride here we are. I am so happy that we've finally made it here. I can spent hours just looking at the view. It makes me wanna cry, can't imagine myself being here.
