After the fun time on the beach from my previous post and the nakakabusog and nakakaantok-tuloy na lunch, we went out to try the best tasting Halo-Halo in La Union. The heat perfectly calls for a cold sweet and refreshing halo-halo.We were a little lost for a few minutes, thanks to our ever reliable tour guide Sharon (LOL!). But soon we arrived and saw a colorful house made into one of the famous food hang-outs in La Union. Colorful and festive home of the best Halo-Halo in La ... [ Read More ]

A Trip to La Union & Baguio – Part 1
We knew beforehand that Jan 21-23, 2012 is a long weekend because of the Chinese New Year. And a long weekend means VACATION! :)My high school barkada planned on a road trip to San Fernando, La Union. One of my girlfriend's hubby owns a gas station there and invited us so we can visit La Union, the surfing capital in the North. Very exciting!

I'm not sure if I should teach her first the letters of her name which is somewhat long or just start from A to Z.

You name it... our fave Seattle's Best (in ATC before and now in Festival Mall), Starbucks (in ATC, Madrigal and Festival Mall), Bona Coffee (in Westgate) and San Francisco Coffee (near BMW showroom but closed already). Well, except for Figaro, UCC and Bo's Cofee (a newcomer located in Molito Complex).Those late coffee nights are now very seldom (sometimes never in ... [ Read More ]
