Happiness Overload with the Theme Y.O.L.O. — You Only Live Once


It was last February of this year when we had our Educational tour in Manila. And it was also my very first time experience to travel on a plane alone going to Manila because I was not able to include myself in the group booking. I felt anxious about it but at the very day I realized it was so fun to travel alone. I feel independent and cool.

Our six-day tour to Manila, Tagaytay and Bagiuo tour was indeed educational, very fun and exciting. Every day of the tour is a day to look forward to. During the first two days we were in Manila we went to the House of the Senate, House of the Representatives, Supreme Court and to the National Economic Authority Development (NEDA).




On the next day, we went to Tagaytay where the very famous Taal volcano is located. It was definitely a breathe taking picturesque to look on. After that, we immediately went to Enchanted Kingdom it should be one of my most favourite part in the itinerary of the whole tour, however, I was really disappointed because I was not able to experience all the extreme rides because it was Saturday that day and there were a lot of people in the amusement park. Then, I just comforted and told myself that I shall return.




The following day, we were in Bagiuo. They had their Panagbenga and Flower festival that time. The climate was really cold but later on my body temperature was able to adapt the cold. I actually even missed the cold environment in Bagiuo right now. We went to a lot of places in Bagiuo like the Philippine Military Academy, Mine’s view, and took a picture from outside of the Mansion. However, I was not able to go in Burnham Park due to some emergencies but I did not actually feel sorry about it because again I told myself I shall return. 



The next day we were still in Bagiuo. We went to the Bell Church and then we were in La Trinidad’s Strawberry farm. The view in the farm was really nice and of course we bought our own strawberry pasalubongs. Fresh strawberries smells really sweet but it actually tastes a bit sour yet it was still very delightful. On the same day in the afternoon, we had to travel back to Manila for our last day tour.

Our last tour was in Ocean Park but before that we had our side tour in Intramuros. The place really looks old and historical but it was still a nice place to visit. After then, we went to another very historical and famous site in Manila which is in Luneta or Rizal Park. After then we went to Ocean Park wherein a lot of different kinds of fishes, maybe big or small, are displayed. The place is really wonderful and very suitable for fish lovers. After that, we finally had our last stop in the SM Mall of Asia for our lunch. We stayed there while waiting for our flight schedules. While I, on the other hand, took about two hours in the line just to buy that J.Co doughnuts. Obviously it was very tiring but since it was coming from my dear cousin’s favor I had no choice of course. 


All my experiences, I can say were worth it. I really had fun and I wished to return and visit again those places we’ve been too and by that time it should be with my entire family. And at exactly four in the afternoon we had to finally go to the airport. By that time I already have a lot of classmates with the same flight so I need not to worry anymore.

Well, I really love traveling perhaps maybe soon or next time in the future I could get to travel a lot to places where I have been dreaming to visit. But I would want my travel to start here in the Philippines of course. My next stop dream place to visit actually is in Palawan.And  I am really wishing to spend my summer vacation there!
