Random Images: USA

You'll never know how right or wrong you are until you go for it! As a young girl I have dreamed about going to Disneyland just like any other girl! But since I've started to travel I have always tried to avoid the US as a destination due to all things negative associated with it like safety, immigration, terrorism etc etc! This year four of my very good friends and myself decided to go and found out just how wrong we were!

Below are random images from our trip:

Random images of The Philippines



My travel bug I believed got stuck with me at the early age of nine when one time my whole family attended an annual church conference near Baguio City.  One morning I just had this thought that I was so close to Baguio and I could not bear to go back home without me going to the city!  I was also dying for some strawberries which at that time is a luxury to kids from my province as we cannot grow strawberry in our region due to the heat. All I had was a few pesos from my butchered piggy bank and a child's capacity or incapacity to fear!

I roamed around the city, back then the place was still safe and quiet. I had a ball while my parents and grand parents were unaware where I was.  I managed to sneak back into the dorm where we stayed before my folks returned from the conference.  But my mother saw the punnets of strawberries.  I had to tell her, you can imagine what I coped after that.  Below are random images of the Philippines:
