Remnants of Past

VIGAN CITY, I ADORE YOU!

The first time I landed on this place, it tells me a lot of stories it hold. As I leave the place I also left my mind and soul. It forces and attracts me to go back to this wonderful place since I still didn't finish reading every page of its history.

Vigan City is one of the city in our country that holds the story about the past. Every spot tells us the history when Philippines is under the Spanish colonization. Let me take you on some tourist spots here in Vigan City! Let's reminisce the past life of our country.

(They made me their tour guide since I already set foot on Vigan city plus I look different with my outfit.)

First Page:  CALLE CRISOLOGO

Calle Crisologo is one of the famous place here in Vigan. It is a street which is closed to vehicles due to its preservation of the houses during Spanish era. People here did a great job in preserving its beauty and some structures are restored but still looks the same.

We are so busy taking a good photo of this majestic place. We keep memories !

Since Kalesa is well-known here, there are lots of "Kalesa chairs" down the streets too. Isn't this wonderful? (I want and need this in my garden.)

Speaking of Kalesa, If you want to take a tour around Vigan City try the Kalesa ride. It only cost 150 pesos and will tour and bring you to the landmarks of Vigan. Unluckily, we didn't tried it since it's late and can't enjoy some place during night time.

Yes, they are having their picture moments with their icecreams too. I swear that Ice cream is a must try too. I don't know it really taste good or its just my taste bud? But I love it!

 Have you realize that I change my hat?  Say hello to our new fancy hats! I'm surprised that this wide hat costs only a 100 pesos. I've been searching for this in my place and through internet (but internet sells too much expensive).

Well let's move on to the next page shall we?

Heading towards North

Hello guys, I'm back again to this wonderful place of the North! Remember my post about this place 2 years ago? Yes, now I'm here again for my school tour. We will be spending a night there then will head to Baguio City again.

Since its my birthday (March 03), a day before our trip, my loving friends surprise me with a caramel roll cake. I turned 21 and getting older already! But for me adventure life starts at 20s.

I still blow a candle my day ends.

AT 5:00 A.M, Manoag Church, Pangasinan City

Before heading to Vigan City or any destination on our itenerary, we always take a stop at Manoag Shrine in Pangasinan.. My family used to visit this Church yearly, it's like a devotion already to the shrine of Manaoag. That time it was freakin cold! It's even colder outside than inside our bus.

12:30 NN, Hotel Linda Suites Vigan City, Ilocos Sur

After long hours sitting and sleeping in the bus we finally arrived at Vigan City! We eat our lunch first before checking in on our rooms. 

Cause I have to do bus selfies while my butt is in pain from sitting for hours.

BEST TRIP EVER WITH MY MAIN BISHES!

Hotel Linda is a modern styled 3 floors hotel with a touch of Spanish era and still with the Ilocos Vibes. It offers different types of rooms and good service. The food is absolutely mouth-watering and goo in taste. I think our whole department rent the whole hotel for one night. Each room is occupied and since we are great in number, we stay in a Dormitory type room. As you can see on my one photo, the dormitory rooms have these double deck beds. The room is so comfy and I feel like I'm in my hous but when you are staying in a dormitory rooms, you don't have your own bathroom. So you'll use the public bathrooms. While we are relaxing, some of our schoolmates plays pranks on doorbells and telephones. I hate it since it was noisy and you can't take a nap.

Oh! Each floor and hallway have this water dispenser and coffee powders so we can drink and make a drink anytime. I love their hallway especially their wall where I can post and shoot an ootd!
We stayed in our room for a while. Charge every phones and gadgets before exploring the streets of Vigan City!
