Company Outing: Terrazas de Punta Fuego Beach Resort in Nasugbu, Batangas

Few years back, we had our company outing in Punta Fuego in Nasugbo, Batangas.  After a year I realized that I accidentally deleted the photos in my computer, kainis diba? And what's left?  The few photos I uploaded in my personal facebook account.  Maybe it is too late to post but then I think I still want to share the photos left.  If someone might think of going here for a weekend getaway, at least he/she'll have an idea of what to see. :)

Caloocan City: My 30-minute Photography at La Loma Cemetery

As you know, Philippines celebrates All Soul's Day where Filipinos, mostly catholics visit their loved one's grave in remembering and showing how they care to those who passed away.  Because Nov. 1 is a regular holiday (All Saint's Day),  it follows Nov. 2 (All Soul's Day),  so this is the time they visit their deceased friend or family. 

Part 3: Trip to Quezon Day 2 - Kamay ni Hesus & Colorful Pahiyas Festival in Lucban

The most awaited moment for me in Lucban has come.  Pahiyas festival has been one of the most favorite festivals been frequently visited held every 15th of May. 

Part2: Trip to Quezon Day 1 - Night Before Pahiyas Festival in Lucban

Pahiyas Festival is one of the famous festival in Quezon, to honor San Isidro Labrador.   It is the farmers' thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest with a grand display of colorful rice wafers, fruits, vegetables, and handicrafts adorning every house in the town. Check out WikiPilipinas for more info.  I was really curious and looking forward on what to see the night before the feast as they say that those who participated in house decorations for Pahiyas festival, are also putting lights for people to see.

Part1: Trip to Quezon Day 1 - Kwebang Lampas / Puting Buhangin aka Lukang Beach in Pagbilao

After getting high from the Panagbenga festival in Baguio (which is being held every February), I then tried to look out for another festival which fits my budget.  Wondering what's in Pahiyas festival, made me push this trip.  Unlike other festivals, Pahiyas in Lucban Quezon has a fixed date yearly - which is every 15th of May.  Luckily, May 15, 2011 is a Sunday so we didn't have problem on getting a vacation leave.
