Tuesday Travels: Whistler, Canada Weekend Getaway | Snow Tubing Whistler Canada

Last month, the entire family went to Whistler, Canada for the very first time. We've been in Canada many times, but it was our first time in Whistler, Canada. On December 31, we decided to drive up there and had fun in the snow. It was also our first time to spent New Year away from home. We're just lucky there was no traffic in the border. It was easy breezy.

Straight Out Of The Camera Sunday

Pictures were taken using my new Panasonic Lumix ZS5. I decided to give up my three year old Sony Cybershot DSC-H10 digital camera in exchange of Panasonic Lumix ZS5. This is my first time using Panasonic, so be kind, OK?

On the other hand, dear hubby noticed my belly is getting big. I wasn't happy. So, I'm off to check out some of these weight loss stories online so I can get some ideas on how to lose belly fats. LOL.

What Kind Of Adventure Do You Crave?

Life has gotten a bit too exciting for us lately and we're really looking to our upcoming trip to the Philippines. I couldn't imagine planning our this great adventure. Dear hubby doesn't plan much and just goes with the flow and make the rest up as we go along and have many different experiences.

In the meantime, if you have friends or loved one who is struggling with drug addiction or alcoholism, then it is time for you to check out this drug rehab website that I found online. Remember, prevention is better than cure.

What Kind of Adventure Do You Crave?


Crave a Cultural Adventure

Life has gotten a bit routine for me lately and I'd like to broaden my perspective. I want to learn and grow from my adventure. I want to know the place I visit as well as my home town.

I am an open minded and curious traveler. I'm all about immersing myself in local customs, no matter how foreign they are. Whenever I'm in a new place, I try to speak the language, eat the food, and meet the locals. After all, that's what traveling is all about!

The Road Test: You Take The Road Everyone Travels

You Take the Road Everyone Travels

You see life as precious and special. Heritage and family are very important to you. You live a life of leisure. You take your time in every aspect of life and enjoy it to the fullest.

You don't like a lot of risk or randomness in your life. You prefer to stick with what's known, even if it's a bit boring.

You are able to find a fairly healthy balance between work and play. You work when you need to, but you never let yourself burn out. In another life, you could have been a great artist. You trust your creative instincts enough to let them lead you.

What's Your Ideal Island Vacation?


Your Ideal Vacation is Prince Edward Island

On an island vacation, you'd really like to immerse yourself and get to know the locals.
You enjoy the idea of spending time in a small, remote locale... especially a beautiful one.

Whether you're sipping tea or enjoying the beautiful countryside, Prince Edward Island is perfect for you.
It's so authentic and homey, you won't mind that you're not in the tropics.

Just In Time

How long does it take you to get ready in the mornings for whatever you have to do on a typical day?
- Honestly? It will take an hour or more. Well, I guess it's normal especially if you have two kids to take care of...

If you had to retrieve your birth certificate right now, how long would it take before you had it in hand?
- It will probably take a week or two. They don't really have a good service, unlike here in the US.

How long would it take you, via the quickest means available, to get to the place of your birth from where you are right now?
- Oh my gosh, are you kidding me? It will take a week or so. It's really far!

How long has it been since your last visit to the dentist?
- Hmmm, I missed my last dentist appointment. Well, you can blame it to my DH. He's really busy at work. Sometimes, he work 10 hours a day, 7 days a week :(

How long is your usual get-ready-for-bed routine?
- About half an hour. I'm just taking my time, ya know! LOL...

Music And Travel

What music format do you take when you roadtrip and why? (CD, mp3 etc)
* I normally listen to CD when traveling with my family. I made sure I bring all my favorite CD's especially if it's a long trip.

Do you ever make special mixes or playlists just for your trip?
* I did. But it was long time ago and it was from Jaci Velasquez CD. Dear hubby sent me Jaci Velasquez CD's when we were still engaged 7 years ago :)

MM: Directions

When you're lost, do you ask for directions? Yes of course. When I know that I'm lost or something, I immediately ask for directions. But my dear hubby is a total opposite! He never ask for directions even though he knows we're lost! We're talking about "pride thing" here. LOL. I just don't get it. I told him, he should just forget about his pride and do what is right. But he's getting better now and I always told him asking someone's help or directions isn't a bad idea. Don't you think?

Photo Hunt - Original



The theme for this week is ORIGINAL and here's my entry:


(click to enlarge)


Chocolate Hills - Carmen, Bohol, Philippines

The Chocolate Hills are Bohol's most famous tourist attraction and is the seventh great wonders of the world! The chocolate hills consist of are no less than 1268 hills. They are very uniform in shape and mostly between 30 and 50 metres high. They are covered with grass, which at the end of the dry season, turns chocolate brown. At other times, the hills are green and from this color, the hills derive their name. Most people who first see pictures of this landscape can hardly believe that these hills are not a man-made artifact.

I was one of those fortunate people who happened to see these God’s beautiful creation. It is located in Carmen, near Batuan town where I originally came from.
