Last April 24, we went on a day tour to 8 Waves Waterpark and Hotel in San Rafael, Bulacan— courtesy of Smart as one of its Fun Familia destinations this record-breaking hot summer. It was a whole day affair, which started as early as 6AM. All we had to bring was our individual carry-on bag with our swimsuits, sunblock, a handy digicam, and a few floaters for Gab.

Day two was Coron island hopping.
Day one was Coron town inland tour.
Coron Island, part of the Calamianes Group of Islands. Northern Palawan.
We gave Gabi three choices for her 3rd birthday celebration: Jollibee, Bahay, or Pool. She would repeat those options with her three fingers up in the air, imitating how her tito enumerated them. And she would end up with “Pool!”.
We trailed a little up north this weekend.
After a series of go-no go discussions with some friends, my buddy and I firmly decided to hit the road to Zambales despite the erratic weather condition here in Manila for the past several days and the extended 5-day forecast by accuweather and PAGASA for our destination. After all, what could a few raindrops and light breeze possibly do to ruin our little summer outing? 
So, with our backpacks and snorkling gears ready, we left the Victory Liner terminal in Pasay City around 530AM to Olongapo. We weren’t able to catch the 5Am bus ride to Sta.Cruz/Iba, which would pass by San Antonio, our drop-off. We were trapped in a traffic mess somewhere in Subic, causing our trip to last for six hours. From Olongapo, we rode another Victory Liner bus going to Sta. Cruz/Iba to reach San Antonio.
