Batangas!

Whenever I hear Batangas, the first thing that pops into my head is Beach and resort and how it's so near to us but this time we went to Taal, Batangas. Their sort of developing this place to be the next Vigan because of the old houses. The place is very historical considering that it's the hometown of Marcela Agoncillo (she's the principal seamstress of the flag of the Philippines) her house is now turned into a museum and is now open to the public. 











You can also see the largest Catholic Church in asia of southeast asia there (I'm not really sure if it's still the biggest until now, if not, it used to be so it's freakin' awesome!) it really is a gigantic church!  So for girls who want to get married and wants a long walk to the altar, this church is for you. 













There's also a couple of other old houses there that were converted into museums. I personally love old houses because of their interiors and everything is just made to function. My personal favorite was the vintage camera museum (not really sure if that's what people there call it but I just made that up) apparently, there's this person, that collected cameras during the old days and loved using them to take photos, you can see all his camera there which is very well maintained. 




















Vietnam '12

My recent trip to Vietnam! love the place! Cheap food! problem was the language, majority of them does not really know English so you have to arrange everything while your still in your hotel. Ha Long Bay is breathtaking, really calm waters. So...this is what we did!
