A weekend breakout

***Oct. 5, 2020*** ****"It's not about your destination, It's about your journey."*** Months before COVID arises, two of my bro-in-law bought their new motorcycles. So my partner wanted a new one too, but the lockdown implemented. That's why the plan to go on a joyride was postponed. Then four months later, he managed to get a second-hand motorcycle in good condition one. And the plan was made again. Antipolo Last Sept. 6 Sunday, We decided to go to Antipolo Cathedral and get their motorcycles to be blessed by a Padre. Unfortunately, there are numerous people in the church already when we got there. So we didn't get in, instead, we just roam around the church and overlooking of the Antipolo.

The view is breathtakingly beautiful! Antipolo was named after tipolo trees (breadfruit, which is abundance in the area. There's a lot of places and things to do when visiting Antipolo, like: Pinto Art Museum - Museum of contemporary and indigenous art Hinulugang Taktak - Waterfalls and park with viewing areas Mystical Cave - cave with tours amid limestone features NM Angono-Binangonan petroglyphs site Museum - Ancient stone carvings in the rock shelter Casa Santa Museum - a trove of sta Claus themed objects Antipolo Cathedral- a church with an important Mary But we just managed to scoots around the area for sightseeing.

I managed to take some videos too when I was on backride. Only if I didn't delete them all remembering I already posted it on FB and clear some space in my storage. Tragic. Before we go home, we stopped at the small market of Antipolo Delicacies such as Roasted Cashew nuts (my favourite and more and bought some. And then wonder, "What if they should use Bitcoin Cash too?" That would be awesome, right? Tourist loves to buy here. I presume if there is no COVID, I bet the "Kuya" (in the blue shirt, would be very busy with them

Awesome quick getaway! Tagaytay Yesterday Oct. 4 Sunday, we decided again to travel. Now, it's a little bit South and far from before. It's a 61 km ride. We planned this after we got home from Antipolo. (haha Woke up at 4 am in the morning to prepare. Around 5 am we left the house. A week before, I was so excited and bought a new helmet and rubber shoes for the long ride. Actually, I don't wear rubber shoes maybe because of my height or just I look tall because of my figure. I don't know exactly why though, haha, I just noticed it when I went to college if not doll shoes, I will pick sandals. Sandals are my comfy footwear. Works on sunny and rainy days (the only season in the Philippines. Also my wardrobe. LOL Heres is the highlight of our trip. https://youtu.be/YcwAA3VYMaU Seen the mountains? One of them is a Volcano.
