The entrance fee was 500 pesos and we stayed the whole day. We were able to witness some fireworks display, Disney prince and princess stage play and even saw Eugene Domingo, the comedienne actress.

My friends and I contracted a public van which sent us straight to Enchanted Kingdom and picked us up at a scheduled time.

Tagaytay City, Cavite

Tagaytay City is a good side trip when you stay in Metro Manila. It's a great easy escape from the metropolitan and messiness of life. It's just 1 hour away from the metro and you could enjoy.

I feel like saying my little prayer when I saw this. Just a little prayer of my dreams, hopes and wishes.

It's easy to go around Tagaytay City and the people are warm and welcoming to tourists. The fresh air and cool climate at the top are all worth the travel and money.

UP Diliman, Quezon City

It was my first travel away from Mindanao, my home island. Off I went to my University main campus in Manila.

UP Diliman Oblation

UP Diliman Academic Oval 

Acacia trees were cool and shady in any time of the day here in the oval. I used to wait the jeepney, walk, jog, and run around here. I felt that all the pressures and buzz from my summer classes just fell off easily upon the sight of this area.
