Sleepy face
Merry Christmas!

So, weeks before Christmas we know we will be spending it somewhere. This is the first Christmas in years that my Dad will be spending home so why spend it at home? It's been our tradition for the last 3 years to spend it in Pansol but we are skipping it. So again, with no concrete plan, with no reservations we will be spending it North!

I'm so thankful that my work is good this year and I get to spend Christmas Eve with my family. Night shifts have its pros and cons and one of the cons is Christmas Eve at work.

After my 8am shift we headed home to pack.

First Stop: Porac, Pampanga

We were invited by my Brother’s in laws to spend Christmas there. We got there by 3pm, traffic is not that bad but we had a few delays. I was so sleepy but I couldn’t sleep. I slept a little when we were there, we had a little party, karaoke, foods, drinks then raffle games. We left at 10pm and headed to Dasol.

Consolation prize, sorry from my sleepy face

Second Stop: Dasol

We got to Dasol by 2am and checked R Paradise, by brother didn’t like it there so we move to Villa Balinmanok. We didn’t like it both so we left and drove to Bolinao.

5 AM Moonlight

The moon is just bright this Christmas

What did I do there? Sleep!!!

It was the most satisfying sleep I had for days and while they were swimming I was resting. It was fine I mean vacations are supposed to be relaxing aye? Since its Christmas the staff at the resort are on leave so we had to buy and prepare our own food. 

Fourth Stop Day 3 Bolinao Falls

Quick Selfie at the Lighthouse

After a day of rest and relaxation we went to the Falls. The falls is majestic but it was dirty, flies everywhere and lots of tourists. Maybe we went there the wrong time. The falls has an entrance fee of 20/head.

Look at the picture below and appreciate the beauty without flocks of tourists.
