Some of you might have noticed that I haven't updated my blog for months - four months to be specific. Well, you've got an excellent observation! Blame it to Globe's wonky data. I swear!

Anyway, to keep you posted I decided to "list down" some of the places that I've checked over the last four months. Here they are:
1. Dingalen Lighthouse in Dingalen, Aurora Province. We wee the fist few to visit Dingalen Lighthouse before the local government of Dingalen issued a memorandum on a strict policy on visiting the place. I was on "solo-mode" until I met Mabel and Nok in Cabanatuan. I first met Mabel at Basekamp at Market Market.

In Dingalan, we stayed at Ate Neg's Cottage. Overnight fee is Php500.00. You may contact her at 0909-031-6060 or 0929-277-3199 (c/o Leny). You may contact also contact Kuya Boboy/Ate Lourdes at 0918-503-6080.
2. Dingalen Feeder Port. If you are planning to visit Dingalan, tell the tryke driver to bring you here and everything gonna be fine. It will only take you 15 minutes to reach Barangay Paltic from the port. Duing our visit we hired a boat for Php350 one-way.
3. Barangay Paltic Beach. I don't really recommend swimming here. Water if a bit itchy.
4. Aureo Resort in San Francisco, San Fernando, La Union. A must-visit place when in La Union. For reservations and inquiries, please contact 072-888-0833 and 02-861-0983.

5. Capayawan Beach in Botolan, Zambales. The beach has fine sand and is perfect for surfing due to high waves. Don't go too far from the shoreline when swimming.
6. Botanical Garden in San Fernando, La Union. Our energy-draining two-hour trek was fun and memorable. Thanks Nef, Kat and Clifford!
7. Sweet Bites LU Cafe. Of course, nothing beats a refreshing lemonade break after a two-hour trek. Thanks to Sweet Bites!
