Pangasinan Bloggers’ Tour Day 1 – Exploring Dagupan, Calasiao and Lingayen
I was born and raised in Dagupan City. I started out blogging when I was in high school but i started blogging publicly in college (through my .i.ph blog). As a student, i kept on blogging about my whereabouts including my dream of working in Manila. I wanted to pursue a careeer in IT way back, and going to Manila is the only solution that i saw. Although I’ve been working in Manila since 2008, i can say that nothing compares to the place you call home <3

Sneak Preview of the Western Pangasinan Getaway
One of my dream projects as a blogger is to bring some of my blogger friends to Pangasinan, my beloved hometown. For months, there were attempts of organizing one, but due to the very long trip hours and lack of information, the plans never pushed through. Thanks to Anton (originally from Anda, Pangasinan) because he is my partner in organizing this trip. We had the same goal when finally we talked about the dream of organizing a Pangasinan Tour with blogger friends. Josh Uy is from Sta. Barbara, Pangasinan and he helped us out in terms of transportation

I am so happy because the dream trip finally pushed through! Last weekend, I together with Anton, Ada, Darwin, Estan, Robbie, Cai, Gael, Marky and Josh embarked on a very long trip to Pangasinan in order to explore, learn and enjoy our own Pangasinan experience. I didn’t really get the chance to enjoy Alaminos and Bolinao in the past that’s why i want this trip to push through. In my own opinion, this is quite different to my past group trips. Let’s just say that this is more personal to me It felt kinda weird especially when we were gallivanting in Dagupan City LOL 
Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point – Exploring La Union and The Point Residences Launch
The second day of our Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point experience is a hectic one. We were able to have a mini tour within the resort, the rest of the gang were able to surf in San Juan, had a quick La Union tour and the main event – The Point Residences Official Launch.
I'm like a bird... a Thunderbird LOL
I woke up at around 7:30AM – and that’s already late! Instead of going straight to the breakfast buffet, I ended up surfing the net while I’m in bed Ruby and I went to the lobby by 8AM to meet up with the other bloggers. The marketing staff of Thunderbird Resorts gave us a quick tour while we’re riding at the golf carts.
Let the pictures show how wonderful the place is!
Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point – Santorini Experience in the North Day 1
One of the things that I noticed about Region 1 is the lack of boost when it comes to Tourism. Being a resident of Dagupan City, Pangasinan for more than twenty years, I am more than happy when I heard that a five-star resort is being developed in Poro Point, San Fernando, La Union and yep, it’s Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point!
I'm ready to stay here for 3D/2N in the Santorini-inspired Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point.
Together travel bloggers and writers, I was able to experience how it feels like to stay in Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point for 3 Days and 2 Nights. Finally, a world-class resort in Ilocos Region!
The SEAIR – Microtel Boracay Bloggers’ Tour Experience Day 3
It’s suddenly Monday…
I didn’t really sleep that Monday morning. I took a short nap for thirty minutes and went outside to take pictures of Microtel Boracay and Diniwid Beach with Gael.
Search for me in Boracay
Diniwid Beach is a private cove in Boracay. Only the guests who are staying within the area can go there (not unless if they’re patient enough to walk that long or if they’re going there via boat). I took some shots of Diniwid Beach while waiting for the rest to wake up:
