Bohol is on the top of my list in terms of travel destination. I've been there a couple of times already and can't seem to get enough! To those who will be going to Bohol for the first time, I'll share to you my list on a must-go (or do) when you are in the province:

1. Panglao Beach
- Bohol got the best beaches in the country with its white and powdery sand. There are also a lot of resorts to choose from that will surely fits your budget.

2. Baclayon Church
- Known to be the oldest stoned church in the Philippines. You can also visit the museum inside and appreciate the hundred year old antiques! But, cameras are not allowed inside..

3. Python in Albur
- See the biggest and longest python in captivity! The sight of it would surely makes your heart beat fast, and

3. Loboc Floating Restaurant
- While having your sumptuous meal, cruise on board a floating restaurant in Loboc. Not only that, you will be serenaded by the natives, while enjoying the the lush green scenery.

4. Tarsier
- While in Loboc, you can also see the smallest primate in the world. Tarsiers have strikingly huge eyes, they are nocturnal and arboreal. They have long legs and anklebones which are well adapted for leaping from stem to stem.

5. Man-made forest in Bilar
- Feel the fresh air surrounding while passing the man-made forest with the awesome display of the Mahogany trees planted by local people.

6. Chocolate Hills
- Enjoy the breathtaking view of around 1,268 hills which will turn brown during summer! The spectacular view never stopped to amaze me!

There you go... I know, there are still a lot to discover and visit in Bohol. That's why, I always visit the place, and still find it very interesting and let's me crave for more. :)

"Tagaytay --- Home to Taal volcano which is reputed to be the world's smallest and yet most active; this crisp cool city provides a once in a lifetime experience as close as paradise one can find..."

Went to Tagaytay last April and since it's summer here in the Philippines, Tagaytay is one of the most visited spots (both locals and foreigners) in the country having a low temperature compare to other places in the country.

Though my trip in Tagaytay was all unplanned, but, it's what makes it a very memorable and enjoyable one. We were not able to get the best hotel since all were fully booked! But, good thing, a lot of residences there were turned into a business and we stayed at Amora's Home, just near Tagaytay Picnic Grove exit. We paid 2500PHP per day but I think it will be more cheaper during non-peak season. Below are a must- see and do in Tagaytay:

1. Tagaytay Picnic Grove
- you can enjoy the finest view of Taal volcano while hanging out with your family and friends. Cottages are available for rent, or, you can bring your own mat and food.

2. People's Park
- located at the highest point in Tagaytay. It is said to be built as a presidential guest house of Former President Ferdinand Marcos but was not completed.

3. Trekking / Horse back riding to Taal's crater
- my horse back-riding experience is the most memorable one! I was able to feel the thrill of riding a running horse while climbing up to the top of the mountain! weeew!

4. Nightlife in Tagaytay
- Tagaytay offers a rich night life with coffee shops, bars and restaurants just around Magallanes. And did I tell you that it has one of the best cuisine in the country?? I love the Bulalo!!

And by the way, you can never find a mall in Tagaytay. They don't allow anyone to put up a mall to preserve the place...

Because of time constraints, we were not able to visit all the places, but what's the use of NEXT TIME? ;) I will definitely go back there because i fell in love with Tagaytay! :D
