Nasugbu, Batangas

Sand, sun and sea–we all want this for a hot hot summer day. So we planned for a summer getaway that can satisfy us.

it is perfect in Nasugbu, and I think beaches here is better than Puerto Galera (well in some part of Nasugbu). We stayed in Munting Buhangin Beach Camp. I would recommend this resort if your searching for calm, relax and quite beach..Aside from the clear, unspoiled beach and warm camp, Munting Buhangin Beach Camp’s 24-hectare property features a more active, challenging and fun-filled nature-based learning experience.

The nature trail gives access to the world of plants, flowers and other forms of wildlife. Further exploration of the forest familiarizes one with the generic names of the existing floras and faunas and interesting treks will lead to new discoveries that only nature can offer. It was a long trip that takes almost 4 hours for us to get there. Our plan is to have a Day trip in Nasugbu but because the travel time took us 3 hours we decided to stay over night.

When we arrived at the beach, there were but few people and I was happy because I immediately appreciated the serenity of the place. This is a perfect place to relax and enjoy. We were all excited to start the water fun after resting. After some few minutes of resting we all changed to our swimsuits and ran to the beach. The water was really crystal clear and was so good to the body. At first step you’d felt the water was cool but as we stayed longer the water turned a bit warmer and soothing. There were only very few people in the beach so this explained why the water was so clear. We really enjoyed swimming and taking turns of taking photos while the rest started arranging our foods. So after having prepared the food, everyone sat around the dining table . It all enjoyed the privacy offered by the place.

HOW TO GET THERE:

If your travelling by car it is much easier to find this place, but we decided to commute and the resort is not accessible by public transportation, so we hire a tricycle to bring us there. Here are the expenses.

From Tagaytay City to Nasugbu: Jeepney- 60 pesos/ Bus- 78 pesos

Fom Nasugbu to the Resort (Munting Buhangin) - Tricyle - 200 pesos (its a good deal because the resort is located in a remote place in Nasugbu. It will take 30 minutes to get there.

It's Summer time!

Summertime is my second favorite season (next to winter season) of the year! Its the season where we show off our body and have lot of fun in beach. What I hate about summer is being sweaty and of course the weather. Is really hot and the temperature is rising. But still I'm lucky to a tropical country paradise where lots of beaches as just within reach. In this blog I'll show you how to have your dream vacation without thinking of spending too much. I believe that if you want to have a real 'vacation' you should not follow the common tourist trail. Make your own way of getting to your dream paradise. Like Richard said in the movie "The Beach"--

"We all travel hundred of miles just to watch TV and check in to somewhere with all the comforts of home, and you gotta ask yourself, what is the point of that?"

Right? what the point of that, you travel hundreds of miles and then what? You feel like your still at home.. hmmm.. When traveling you should always find something new, something you haven't tried before, something that has never done before.... Me? I haven't been to anywhere, but If given a chance, I think I'd rather stay in a old wooden house for vacation rather than some fancy hotels. It's not that I can't afford, its just the experience. All hotels offers the same old brand new services anywhere you go. And it sucks! You pay the price yet your not contented.

"For mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven't tried before. So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It's probably worth it. " -Richard (The Beach)
