Spending the First Weekend of July in Dagupan City

After spending two days and one night in Baguio City, I went straight to Dagupan City via Victory Liner for a short visit at our new house there. To those who don’t really have an idea where I lived from 1994 to 2008, I actually lived inside the school campus. Yes, it is in the same campus where I studied for elementary, high school and college.

The New Home

From Penthouse to Big House

Early this year, my grandparents moved to another house near the school campus.

I can say that among my trips, this is the first time ever wherein we only booked for a hotel room hours before our flight, we didn’t have any itinerary (all we know is that the Underground River is located there LOL!) and we simply want it to be spontaneous. No plans, no whatevers.

Family trips are exciting and fun especially during summer. It is the only time wherein the kids take a break from school and working parents find an excuse to take a leave from work and prepare for a weekend trip with the family.

Mica and the Cow in Macau 😛

I remember when I was younger, my relatives would invite us to go on a road trip to different places. It can be very costly for them, but they’re lucky to get discount coupons from fliers and newspaper clippings to lessen the expenses for hotel accommodations and transportation.
