Haru's Thoughts: And because I want to share to you the beautiful Boracay

Just because I want to share to you the beautiful white sand beach of Boracay. This is were I went to with my family last Dec. 7-10. 

I finally got my white dress and hat on the beach during a sunset photo! 

Enjoy.

Our Adventures: Coron: Day 3

Traveling in the early morning we were met by a breathtaking landscape. 

Day 3 of our Coron Adventures, we set out really early in the morning-as in like 4:00 AM and this was because we were going to Calauit Island which was about a 2 hour boat ride. We road on a fast boat. 

It was really dark when we set out, it was pitch black and you could not even see your hand in front of you. 

My husband asked the boatmen 'How do you navigate in the dark?' Our guide answered that the captains used the stars, landmarks and mountains. Although that was not entirely reassuring, we put our faith in our guides and the captain of the boat. 

Trying out Black and White to capture the scenery. 

The early morning air was very cold and unfortunately I did not really pack any windbreakers, jackets or sweaters. It was a good thing Dexter brought an extra windbreaker or else I would have lost my teeth chattering from the cold. 

Our Adventures: Coron day 2

Day 2 of our Coron Adventure started out with waking up to a nice sunny morning. The above photo shows the view from  our room.

Our Adventures: Coron: Day 1

View from up the air. (L) is the ever busy Manila and (R) is getting a glimpse of paradise-Palawan. 

I booked our flight to Coron last February during a Cebu Pacific Seat Sale- I was able to get our tickets for only P1,800! That's already round trip for the both of us! :) 

I always love taking photos of what I am leaving behind (Manila) and where I am headed (in this case, Palawan).

Well Traveled Book- this book has already been to Cebu and now Coron. 

Book 4 - A Feast of Crows of a Song of Fire and Ice (Game of Thrones) was my companion during times of waiting in the airport or any where else. This was taken on the bus going on the plane at NAIA Terminal 3. You can see the other passengers in the background. 

The planes that traveled to Coron were smaller than the usual domestic airplanes- they only had two rows for seats and smaller propellers. When we got on board the plane I couldn't help but smile since 'Blurry' by Puddle of Mud was playing in the plane --I don't think that would be the appropriate song on any plane-- the song was eventually changed to a Korean all-boy pop song about a lipstick, which probably suited the other Korean passengers on board. 

Just a note that there will be more mention of Koreans in our Coron trip. 

Tagaytay Trip

We went on a day trip to Tagaytay to show our boss from the US around. So after our Friday shift we all headed out to Tagaytay so this was actually at Saturday in the morning already. 

Oh I forgot to mention we had to meet up with a client for a birthday -event coverage- even before leaving for Tagaytay. So yup! Nothing new- busy as always. 

So anyways, one thing for sure was that it was really hot when we went to Tagaytay, it was really hot considering it was also in November. The wind was cool but the sun was really hot. 

So here are our photos from our daytime Tagaytay trip. :)

Our Adventures: Day 2 in Cebu

Sunday was our 'tour the city day' since we were already heading back to Manila on Monday morning. So we got up early since we knew we had a long day ahead of us.   

Our room during the day.

Our room during the night. 

In case I haven't mentioned it yet - we stayed in the Crown Regency Towers in Cebu. Since there was a great deal I found online. 

Our room on the 30th floor. For some reason they gave us two Queen sized beds- this is the one we didn't use except for the pillows.

Our Adventures: Manila to Cebu, Day 1

We were VERY  early for our flight so Paul had time to go around and take photos of NAIA Terminal 3. Can you see me (Ica) in the picture? 

When we got married last December 2011 we really didn't get to plan our honeymoon and we ended up having our honeymoon a stone throws away in Thunderbird Resorts Rizal. 

So I really wanted to get to plan some sort of getaway and of course travel with my husband; especially now that everyone seems to be getting to travel all over the Philippines what with the Piso Fares and great travel deals. Taking my cue from budget travelers I was able to book a flight to and from Cebu last February for only around P2,100.00 and that is already round trip for the two of us. 

Since I booked this in February and the flight was still in September (in time to celebrate our 7th anniversary) I still had time to find a place for us to stay and so began my search for a deal on group online buying websites.

Busy Busy Weeks!!!

Lighted Candle from Marcus' Christening 

Ever since we've gotten back from Coron (we've only been able to post until Day 2 of our Coron adventures - we were there for 5 days) our weeks have been so busy with birthdays, baptisms, weddings, dinners and events. I'm not one to complain since this just means more photos and memories to keep and of course more blog posts to write about. 

Yeah I miss the lazy weekends of falling asleep while watching TV but those days will always be just around the corner but for now Mr & Mrs. Cheng have been pretty busy and here are some of our misadventures! 

So here are some photos (in no particular order) of what we've been up to these past couple of weeks. 

October 28, 2012- Marcus' Christening 

Marcus Jacob is another godson of Paul and I, he is the son of my College friend Djerty and if you have been following our blog already you would surely know Djerty and Marcus since we shot Djerty's maternity shoot and Marcus' new born shoot. :) 

So it was just right that we also cover his Christening :)
