Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, Bagac, Bataan, Philippines

Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bagac, Bataan

What a brilliant idea to recreate Las Filipinas during the Spanish time!

As most people know, I'm a sucker for old stuff. 

I believe I was born during that time and reborn in the present. LOL

Las Casas blew me away! 

It was that pretty and real. We really felt like we were transported back in time. From the hotels to the casas to the staff's uniform and even the food.

This is what greeted us upon entering the "village".

The plaza where the dinner is served at night with cultural performance.

Our welcome drink. Iced tea? Nah! Sago't gulaman. Pinoy na pinoy!

Our living room inside Casa Meycauyan, where we stayed.

Bedroom is huge not to mention our bath room (shower and bath tub), we can have our own party inside!

One of my fave casas, Casa Hidalgo, the first building of UP Fine Arts in Hidalgo.

Now you know why...hehe 

UP Naming Mahal

This is where we stayed, Casa Meycauyan.

Boracay 2011

My last post was referring to this. 

Our trip to Boracay with my relatives. 

Thanks to my generous aunt and uncle! <3 Though our flight was delayed for 6 hours (not so zestful experience), we're anxiously waiting to set foot in this beautiful island.

 Now I know why people love going back to Boracay. 

The white powdery sand, the land and ocean activities, the bars, the food, the people, etc. 

 When you're going to Boracay, make sure to try their land and ocean activities. We did! And it was super fun. I highly recommend booking your activities with La Isla Boracay. They'll give you discounts + friendly staff. 

We tried the surf board thing, banana boat ride, zip lining, jet skiing, helmet diving, buggy and atv ride and go cart! You don't have to worry about the transfers because it's already part of the package.

 For our lunch, we headed to d' talipapa and strolling for pasalubongs in d' mall.

 We stayed at Boracay Holiday Beach Resort.

Bye bye, Boracay. See you soon!

TIPS: 
+Boracay is not for budget conscious travelers. The food is quite expensive but it's worth the price. 
+If you want to really enjoy in Boracay, it's a must for you to experience the different activities the island is offering. 
+Spend one day just strolling the island and admiring it's beauty. Stay in a hotel near the shore, so you'll feel that you're in a vacation. 
+Wear your bikinis and don't be shy to flaunt!
