An Awesome Travel

When I travel I am always on the lookout for new experiences because these experiences tells you a beautiful story of the place in general.

I always wanted to experience not only the beautiful sceneries and landscape of the place I visit but what fascinates me most is to experience the people's life, culture and food.

Last quarter of 2017, a friend and a confidante whom I call mamskie Ms Annabelle Ocampo brought up the idea of us travelling together to Baguio my home city and Nueva Ecija her home province. (Its really one of the perks of doing the business I have as it brings me to people who would make your journey more colorful).

We visited Baguio and made sure I could bring her to Tam-awan Village a place where she could have a glimpse of our place.

Then brought her to Good Shephered, a place where she could buy good quality of local spreads and snacks.

After a few days in Baguio... its time for us to travel to Laur Nueva Ecija.

I am at awe to the family host of my travel as they allowed me to emerse myself to the beauty of thier place coupled with the experiences theyve allowed me to have. Thank you mamskie Annabelle Ocampo and family and friends I trully enjoyed everything! The hospitality is definitely above what I was expecting. I never felt I was a visitor I felt I belong to their family.

THE PEOPLE I MET

Travelling for me is meeting people and this trip I have met a lot of them. Knowing them more, staying, eating, sleeping and chatting with them in one roof make the trip more pleasurable and memorable!

Memories worth keeping

Creating memories is what makes travelling worth it all. The memories that is worth keeping and sharing...

I guess its Filipino culture in a way to show hospitality is through food! I love the food and definitely enjoyed it. Filipino's love to eat and shares their food to everyone.

Buddle fight - the food are placed in the table and everyone picks the food they want to it. The catch is no one is allowed to use spoon, fork, and plate.

One of the Filipino's past time is singing so in a big family like mamskie's family... a videoke is definitely always present. So lets sing a long!

Sending mamskie off to Brunie!

ITS CEREALICIOUS TIME

It was one busy weekdays for Apple, JM and me i  search for the location where we could have our RAINBOW Project (I will talking about the project in the coming days) and its definitely time for us to reward ourselves with a good food from a tiring after shift search for that special place.

After endulging to a sinfuly mouthwatering burger. My friend Apple once again brought me to yet another mouth watering snack house; its Cerealicious!

I can't help myself but strike a pose in their counter. Its colorful, vibrant and really welcoming counter.

Though I am already an ice cream lover, this cerealicious will definitely have a huge space in my stomach. I can basicaly endulge all of thier specialties.

It excites me more thinking where our next stop would be as I am always on the search for that delicious yet affordable food store. Do you have a place you could suggest? Let me know.

Hook It Up

Everyone may seem to have their own talent crafted with years of experience in their own fields. Others express it through arts, others in education, science, politics, business, customer engagement and many more.

Through the course of the year, I thought came to a point where I can finally say; "its time for me to put everything to rest and be the mediocre." I became college instructor and then a teacher to a bunch of Koreans who are learning English. I dreamed of being employed in one or two of the world renowed corporation worldwide. The first one focuses on information and they are known about it and the other is a top notched exchange in the US. I had a manager title in my signature and handled top corporations both in Latin America and US managing their webcasting and Earnings Releases. Was able to influence someone build his career and now being recognized on the effort that he do in the company he is associated with. I have fulfilled my career journey and my college goal. All these were simply just a dream and they all became reality after years of exploration in the corporate world. They all became reality thank God for the idea of offshore office. I gotta experienced those offices I thought only in my dreams I could explore.

Soon after, I just simply realized I have come so far from what is expected of me. So far from what I thought I go reach. Enough for me to be at ease and explore new things. To explore new posibilities and opportunities.

The Black Apartment

I am always and will forever be a burger lover. I love and enjoy the exquisite, tender and juicy patty.

Once in a while me and my friends just meet up and dine out to some of the best restaurant they have tried.

My friend Apple once told me THE BLACK APARTMENT was really a big hit and definitely a pallete buggling burger house in Cavite.

Finally that day came and we went to the said burger house. It is really a 2 storey apartment painted in black.

Spooky and yet cozy! Thats how I see the facade of the burger house. Good thing when we went there its early afternoon so the burger house is not jump packed with customer.

I was quite disapointed when we went inside because the tables are small and I can imagine you would be bumping each other on their peak hours. I was expecting a spacious area for diner but I guess the owner is anticipating customer out pour so theyve decided to squeeze everything in one small space.

But since we went there on thier off peak hours the space did not bother me at all. So we started ordering our food. We ordered thier most expensive burgers and a spicy buttered chicken.

BURGER - their burger is super mouth watering. Their patty was jaw dropping. Every bite is all worth it. Its 100% beef it is definitely a pallette satisfying burger. We ordered one LANDLORD BURGER and my friend and I have to share the burger as it is super stomach satisfying.

Buttered Chicken

Its rare for me to fall in love with a buttered chicken because I am ending up regretting it because I really dont like how most restaurant cook it. However, THE BLACK APARTMENT is one of those exceptions. Its crispy, juicy, spicy, sweet and I love the dip!

MILK/FRUIT SHAKE

Fruit shake is one of my favorites as I am not a soda lover. So I ordered this mango lychee fruit shake and it feels heaven. Its smooth and the level of sweetness is just within my standard.

Finaly there's a burger house that is not so expensive but trully satisfying in Cavite. The one we visited is in PAG-ASA Molino Cavite. Overall, THE BLACK APARTMENT is your place to be to satisfy your burger cravings!
