A Looooong Weekend

I've been MIA from the blogging [and Facebooking, Mutiply-ing] world for 5 days because me and the gang trooped over to the northest part of Luzon for a little R and R, lots of driving and sleeping in the road and a whole lot of fun. Yep -- me and my officemates trooped over to the provinces of La Union, Dagupan, Pangasinan and Ilocos [Norte and Sur] whew!

Hella fun but I've no photos to show you yet, as I'm not yet done compiling all the photos from the trip. When you're traveling with 3 photographers, it's futile to take your own photos, haha!

A few of my trip's highlights:

The windmills! *giggles* They just have that relaxing effect.
Matutina's in Dagupan = The best garlic buttered shrimp EVER. As in EVER, EVER.
Cafe Leona in Vigan + Old school architecture + Bagnet + Cheese Chichacorn = A Happy Me
Saud Beach Resort in Pagudpud = Absolute heaven
The Taiwanese music our radio is picking up upon reaching Pagudpud. Cool, right?
Attempting to surf in La Union and being carried back to the shore with no effort
Poker nights + Winning in Poker + learning how to play Pusoy Dos and Pusoy [card games a little similar to Poker]
Guzzling Ginebra Premium [thank you, SMC] mixed with Minute Maid
Endless supply of Marlboro Lights
