Sooo… I’m super super super duper EXCITED!!! I’m going to the Philippines next month! NEXT MONTH!? Goodness, I can’t believe it. Last time I was there was 6 years ago, and this time my dad, little brother and Tom are coming! (Last time it was only, my mom, my aunt, my sister & I. Though, this time my sister isn’t coming, which is a total bummer.) I’m so excited and nervous though, because I’m sure a lot of things are so different now; But I am glad that we’re going in December though. Last time we visited there in July I believe? And my goodness it was so so hot! So hopefully this time, it’ll be just the right temp ;) I’m so excited to see all my relatives too and to finally celebrate Christmas & New Years there. The holidays there are just so different from how it is here in the US. I just feel like it’s more FUN lol

Any who, I know it’s next month but I’m actually already thinking about the outfits I’m going to bring, shoes, bags.. I even ALREADY have all the makeup & brushes that I’m going to bring picked out. LOL I even bought a new train case for this trip. (I’ve always wanted a decent/durable train case, but I just didn’t really “need” it.. until now!) I was considering on just bringing one of my smaller train cases, I think from Caboodle? But the tiers in it are so flimsy :/ Okay anyways, I’m probably going to do videos on what’s in my train case, carry ons, how I pack my luggage, and things like that (it’s been requested) once I have everything set/when it gets closer to date ;) ♥ So enough about that, now onto the places that I want to visit while I’m there :D Believe it or not, I’ve never been to half these places (yeah.. and I lived there for 9 years!?) lol.

So first up is Baguio City. I’m not sure where exactly we’re going, but my mom did mention that we’ll be visiting the Banaue Rice Terraces. Doesn’t it look just gorgeous?

Next, I’ve been DYING to see the Mayon Volcano up close!!! I got a little peak of it last time I was in the Philippines (we drove passed it)… lol But yeah, ughh. It’s just so beautiful :)

Of course we’re going to visit the Manila Cathedral :) It’s just so pretty, PLUS there’s a bunch of Historical places close by ex: Luneta, Fort Santiago & Intramuros. Oh and that’s also where my mom’s idol ~Sharon Cuneta got married & I want to ride a calesa lol!

Here’s another church :) This is actually in Malolos, the Barasaoin Church. Since we’re staying in Malolos, my mom said this is the church we’ll be going to for Simbang Gabi (Midnight Mass, I believe in English).

Subic Bay, we have some relatives here. Self explanatory :)

This is the Taal Volcano, Tagaytay. It looks pretty cool.. I’ve never been there but I’m not too excited about going really lol.

El Nido, Palawan. Need I say more!? It looks so gorgeous there and thankfully, I’ve convinced my parents :D haha YAYY It looks so so gorgeous… I can’t wait for this lol

I’m not sure if we’re going here, but I did mention it to my parents :) It’s so gorgeous, I’ve always wanted to go here. This is the Paoay Church in Ilocos Norte.

Alright, lastly.. for now (until I find more places to go to), is this Island Hopping thing in Cebu :) Check out the website, it looks like it’d be so much fun to do!

So I’m going to end this here. Can’t you tell I’m excited? haha
What are your plans this holiday? ♥
