Although this entry is a bit late, I just wanted to share with you some of the photos I took of T house in Tagaytay. I had the chance to stay at the T House last Holy week. The place was quiet and the stay relaxing. I like the layout of the place as well as the architecture. The interior (rooms) were well designed as well. A mix of simple Japanese zen-type design, mixed with homey comfort. Here are some of the photos. Hope you enjoy the pics!

Update: I forgot to post the links last time, here is T house’s website. You can also find the detailed map there.

Here are some more fun photos I took at Anawangin!

I hope I didn’t bore you with too many photos. Let me know what you think!

I tried to play around with the black and white feature of my cam and here are some of the photos. Enjoy!

The place was serene as the sun set quietly over the mountain on the right side of the beach.

The lovely beach of Anawangin! We had fun just swimming around. The water was shallow for about 10-15 feet away from the shore. There were some fish swimming around and I believe I saw several beige colored trumpet fish too. There were little crabs scampering around the sand in the late afternoon and early mornings.

The small mountain (hill?) which i tried to climb but failed. It seemed to steep for my old and fragile slippers. I guess I should’ve tried it barefoot! I saw some pics my friends took at the peak and i got envious.

See all those people climbing up the hill? I got as far as… maybe where the person wearing the white shirt (2nd person from the bottom). haha!

Here are some pictures of the calm lake of Anawangin.

I recently had the chance to go on short trips to local places. The most recent one was last weekend to Anawangin, Zambales. My friends and I took a public bus and arrived in San Antonio at around 3am. We waited and negotiated with the local boatmen in Pundaquit and boarded the small motor boats which seats 3-4 comfortably, on a smooth; although wet, ride to Anawangin. Anawangin is a cove, with a beach of smooth sand, which glisten like white sand under the sun. The best thing about this place are the pine trees! Yes, you heard me right! The water is clean and clear. There are some trails which you can hike up to have a better view of the rest of the island and the blue sea. There’s also a small lake with clear, warm water you can wade in.

I’ll be posting some of the pics as the days pass. Hope you enjoy them!

walking towards the waterfalls

Just right before the drop…

Took this shot from the top of the waterfalls. It’s a long way down! There were people rappelling down the side of the waterfalls.. they’re very brave. I happened upon this blog which documents the writer’s rappelling experience.
