UST Main Building – a rainy Saturday afternoon
I found myself in UST again today after a very long time. A lot has changed in the university over the years but one thing remains the same: the Main Building still stands ever so elegantly. I will be forever proud to be a Thomasian.
Stoked! Surfing is lovelier the second time around (San Juan, La Union)

Kabigan Falls (Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte)
Our Pagudpud Northbound Tour begins with a visit to Kabigan Waterfalls, located in Barangay Balaoi. Now, the very last waterfall I visited was way back in 2005 in Sagada, Mountain Province. I remembered I had to trek for a good 30 minutes under the blazing...

Bangui Windmills (Bangui, Ilocos Norte)
