Atimonan Zigzag Park, Quezon Province

We have always been passing by the ZigZag Road or more popularly known as Bitukang Manok everytime my family would go to Bicol.  I would always feel scared passing by this road because of the steep curves that would require locals to assist you as you pass by each curve. Wasn't able to take pictures of the road because I was busy throwing coins to the locals waving their flags in each curve.

At first, we were hesitant  to stop by the park because it was way too quiet and all you'd hear are crickets. It was also a bit dark because it was covered with lot of trees. Decided to stop by anyway out of our wanting for a breather from the scary ride. At that time, there were also other people stopping by and taking pictures of the park. There is also snack shop there and  the restroom is clean.

Albay: Sogod Beach in Tiwi

Family outing celebrating the 70th birthday of my aunt. Tiwi is famous compared to other towns in Albay because of the geothermal plant. From Tiwi proper, Sogod is just 10-minute ride. There cottages that you could rent but since we are a big group, we rented for a rest house.

The beach has a fine sand but it is black. Avoid comparing it to other beaches that has white sand. There are lifeguards in the area because the waves are big. According to the locals there, it is already part of the Pacific Ocean.

When you are in Tiwi, never forget to go to DJC where you can have the famous special halo-halo. It cost P65.

Rizal: Sacramento Valley Resort in Tanay

Had an overnight stay in this resort with my high school classmates and their kids. This resort has very affordable room rates. The room that we got cost us P2,000 for 4 persons. The beds are big and has nice airconditioning. The resort has a swimming pool and open till 12 midnight. We brought our own food since there was no corkage fee.
