Photo Diary: One Summer Sunset in La Union





They said, "say YES to new adventures!" So I did. I am not spontaneous, guys! I AM NOT. 

When my friend Sai invited me to go to La Union, I knew it was my chance to visit the town. La Union has always been on my to go to list. After I went to Siargao Island and Baler to surf, I told myself that my next stop will be La Union. That was like two or three years ago! I always questioned myself, how come I couldn't visit the place? HAHAHA

Road Trip Session

So I hopped in the car with Vince our driver and the owner of the car (yes, thank you!), Mac the front passenger entertained Vince during the trip then Sai and I sleeping in the back. They went for a night out together when Vince and Mac decided to join us to La Union. Oh well, I guess they are more spontaneous than me.


We stopped over in San Juan, La Union before going to our accommodation through Airbnb.



Villa in Bacnotan, La Union

Our Airbnb is 10 minutes away from the surfing spot. 10 minutes driving guys! But look at these beautiful interior designs/ I can say this is perfect for big groups for an outing. 





Feels like in Bali!






There are other rooms with common bathroom. but beach front!






Surfing Spot in Urbiztondo, San Juan, La Union

After we rest from long drive (naks! akala mo nag drived) We went to the surfing spot to check the crowd and the sunset! Since it's summer, it was crowded and full pack of people surfing, swimming, drinking and chillin. 


Vince, Sai and Mac





When you have to deal with the beer.


Twins!


Sunset Session, Elyu version

Finally, I witnessed the sunset. Awww such a lovely view. 







Flotsam and Jetsam Hostel Bar



After our dinner, we had a bonfire at the villa's beachfront. It was so cool and fun. I was the stranger in that group. Well, I didn't have a hard time dealing with them since they were all friendly. We ended our drinking session by the beach at almost three in the morning. 

 

Coffee by the Beach

I woke up early to see the beach and do my thing: drinking coffee while enjoying the cool breeze. So cool!





Tadaaah! I met this cute puppy at the villa.


After we checked out, we decided to separate with the other group and had our lunch with a good view and good food near the surfing spot. 



We went back to Manila feeling refreshed. It was a great short trip. I will be back to La Union during the off season so I can enjoy the beach and maybe I'll try the surfing too. My first trip in this town with first the people turned out friends I met for the first time. Definitely one for the books!



 What is your latest adventure? 

Have a great day everyone!

Cool Clean and Comfy Stay at Quest Hotel Cebu


I had enough beach trips last year. This year is kind of hectic for me to go out of town and have enough vitamin sea. To feel the summer, the closest that you can do is to have a staycation somewhere cool, clean and comfy. Quest Hotel Cebu is the perfect place to be in. 

Cool

The only hotel that offers Karaoke night with your family or friends. I had a great time operating the machine and entered all the songs that everyone can sing. hahaha







With the whole crew.

Clean

When I entered the room, As much as I would love to jump off the bed, I had to take photos of the room. Quest Hotel rooms is perfect for staycation and also with my friend Carissa. 






Fun

I missed out this part: swimming! My bed hugged me until nine in the morning and when I checked the pool from our window there were a lot of guests swimming. 

Here's my niece Shanna enjoying the pool. 



Cardio

Staycation but need to go out and jog? No worries the hotel have a place for you to work out your summer body. :) 




Food and Dining 

The hotel has Puso Bistro and Bar which I already posted here. I am now thinking of Luxury Cheesecake right now, darn. You can read my full post about it here: Puso Bistro and Bar.


Comfy

How comfy is comfy? Level: slumber party! Carissa and I needed a break from our work (meaning facing our phones and laptops) so reading is one of the things we do, but we are not that boring so... 

 
Pillow fight! HAHAHAHA I wish we have a video of this scene.


After "kulitan and harutan" we got tired and relax for a bit. 


Thank you, Quest Hotel Cebu for our wonderful staycation.
