Cooling Down at Majayjay Falls
Majayjay Falls, which also known as Taytay Falls and sometimes mistakenly called as Imelda Falls, is located at the outskirts of Mount Banahaw. Many people flock the falls to relax and bathe in its cold water. During the weekends and holidays, the falls is crowded with people. During our visit, Majayjay Falls is also crowded not only of people who live in Quezon but also of people who visited the Pahiyas Festival.
I am amazed by Majayjay Falls’ super cold water. Swimming in it is like entering a refrigerator. Because of this, many people place their drinks under the water so as to keep them cold. As for us, we placed our remaining vodka and other drinks under the water to keep them cool.
The water flowing at Majayjay Falls comes from Mount Banahaw. Possibly, this is the reason why the water is incredibly cold.

Pahiyas Festival 2010
Last Saturday, I visited Lucban to see their famous Pahiyas Festival. The festival is the best of all the festivals that I had visited so far.
Pahiyas Festival is the feast that celebrates the bountiful harvest that the people of Lucban received from God. It also serves as Lucbanon’s thank offering to God for all the blessings that they received. The patron saint of Pahiyas Festival is San Isidro.
What made the Pahiyas Festival famous are the houses that were dressed like lanterns. For the festival, houses are covered with the colorful kiping and rice grains. Other farm produce like vegetables and fruits were also used to make the house more beautiful. The house that is the prettiest and has the most creative design will be …

Boracay Tan No More
After our short visit to “Munting Talon”, we went back to our cottage then cooked “sinigang na bangus.” We even dipped on the beach when we arrived. That caused my Borcay tan into a not so good tan. Anyway, while we were cooking “sinigang na bangus”, our other colleague was assigned in grilling the stuffed bangus. Just in time for lunch, we were able to feast on our own cooked meal. We even ate on banana leaves which made the experience more fun. Sadly, we weren’t able to take pictures of our first lunch in Quezon.
After lunch and our short rest, we went to our next destination “Balagbag Falls.” We took a tricyle on our way to the falls. On some parts of our ride, we were required to walk since the tricycle was having problems in carrying us all. Would you believe that we were all eight passengers in the tricycle? Two on the drivers back, five people on the inside and one on top of the tricycle. Isn’t that fun?

Quezon Trip
My vacation trips continued last Friday with my officemates to Real, Quezon. After office, we had our dinner at SM MegaMall then we went to a certain terminal in Manila going to Quezon. We almost occupied the van since we were eight people. It was a long trip to Quezon, that’s all I can say. When the other passengers requested to stop to the nearest gasoline station, we were able to take pictures and used the comfort room. The next stop was already in Quezon were we had “arozcaldo complete.” Complete meaning arozcaldo with chicken, egg and chicharon. That arozcaldo only costs 25 pesos, cheap right?
