The Two Time Tagaytay Thrill

Once, I told myself to do travel on my own or at least have it only to those people close to me. As I started to live alone in the most improved city of my country, I started to realize what matters and what doesn’t. How to be happy in rough times. How to give advice to vulnerable and fragile people. And most importantly, how to share my being optimistic.

I was so eager to let all the ventures be experienced. Just at a short time, as I always was interested with the nature and addicted with wandering, I wanted more and more. Because I was young, I want to have all the time and opportunities in the world. And if you’re reading this, I know you re young or once was young, you know all these opportunities have come our way.

***First Round***

So here how it went, the first time I went to Tagaytay City was with my sister. I was October of 2016. We rode a bus going to Tagaytay, Olivarez Terminal through a DLTB. Co bus liner. Along with us was the cute white rabbit we named Grey. We put it in a bag, chopped carrots for it and got a little container for his water. The excitement is different if all things are for the first time. Fare going there is just php100.00 and upon getting off at the Olivarez terminal, you just have to ride a jeepney going to Picnic Grove or People's park. It's the same route.

As far as I remember, it was just a 15-minute ride. There's also an entrance fee of php100.00 and you can stay anywhere you want in the groves and enjoy the view of the historical Taal volcano. You can even try the zip line for a full panoramic eyebird's view of the nature. :)

It's not an expensive trip and it was totally worth it!

**The second round**

 I was with one of my best friends. It was the latter part of November and was a Saturday. We headed straight to Skyranch and it's still a month prior to Christmas yet the fog is already thick and almost all the roads appeared gray. It was cold and riding the Ferris wheel would be senseless for nothing will be seen. Lol.

We were as well with her sister who tagged with me all along like I was some kind of a map that if she'll be lost, it would only be me she'll ever have. HAHA!

I like that though. The ride on the bus is about 3 hours and so it is advised for every traveler from Manila to leave as early as possible ;)

It was already late night when we arrived in Manila and that moment when you needed to pee while on the road and there's no gas station stop over or anything that sounds like pee time? It's a bad bad feeling that I needed to endure it until we reached Manila.

Travel thoughts?

Well, everything makes sense when you learn a lot of things on your own and part of it would be from people around you, those who actually care and would let you discover yourself in the best way.

Those who learn from you and those who you also learn from and those who are actually making sense about life and expenses and good trips.

Life is short, money come and go. Yet it's still how much you keep and not how much you earn that counts. And cherishing every moment is never a waste of time, because time can never come back to you like you’re getting any younger but money? It can be wasted, but it sure will return, know how to take it back though.

Even if you're a travel savvy, make sure that you're doing it wisely. Otherwise, you'll be left with nothing.

Learning to commute and schedule the best time and take advantage of plane ticket discounts are very important. Knowing the highlights of the year for vacation seasons, in the chosen spots is highly required so you won't be battling for life (like for a space). Yes?

I hope this helps. And more updates on my adventures. Let's live life while we're young. Earn and save money. Earn moments and taste life like how it should taste for the moment and the present time.

Lastly, live for the moment for it will be left as a history tomorrow, already. So live the moment. And be responsible enough while living within your means.

Obviously, the Sky Ranch!

This was in Picnic Grove
