A short trek to Taal Volcano Crater
From Talisay Batangas, rent a private boat going to Taal Volcano Island. It will cost you PhP1500 for a round trip boat ride and additional PhP500 for “life guard” fee. And from the port of Taal Volcano Island, you may rent a horse worth PhP1500/each or hire a local guide for PhP1000/group and additional “Tourist Fee” PhP50/person. Once settled, they will give you tickets going to the trail. You will reach the viewing deck after an hour of dusty trail. Bring face mask because you will share the trail with horses with tourist on it.
In the viewing deck, try the fresh cold buko for PhP100 and ask your guide to bring you to “pulang lupa” peak. 😉 Enjoy the view! Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints 😉
By the way, Also prepare another PhP50 for the “bridge” fee. ;0
Talisay, Batangas. Lot’s of friendly people and very accommodating.
Lunch at Milan’s Native Foods Restaurant and Grill. This is my new favorite Bulalohan! 🙂

Uber Manila experience ^_^ #LikeABoss
Uber app just started few months ago in Manila… I’m so excited to try it out. ^_^ w00t!!
Just use your iPhone or an android phone to pick you up, where you can also see and track their sleek executive car through the app. They will arrive in no time and you don’t have to wait that long. oh ha!
Zero hassle! I use my credit card registered to my Uber account to pay for their service. Â If you’re interested to join, use “jv0eb” promo code… they will give you PhP1,000 credits… sweet!

Corregidor Island – Ruins of World War II
Still fascinated and puzzled with Corregidor Island’s significant part of Philippine History. It was bombarded with tons of bombs, yet most of the tunnels are intact and still can be use as apocalypse-proof bunker.
If you want to visit Corregidor Island, check out : http://www.corregidorphilippines.com/. They offer now online payments for bookings.
