Hello everyone! Most of you who follow me on instagram would know that I went to the Philippines to visit my mum's side of the family in December last year. I will be uploading the vlog later this week as well (hopefully), so do look out for it!
It was quite a holiday! I haven't been away for 3 weeks straight in a while so it was a little tough to sort of leave work behind. It's a low slower paced there, so naturally, I didn't get as much work done as I would in Singapore, but then again, my vlogs and blogposts for MSCT2019 went up so I'm very happy with that!
I didn't do exciting things everyday as it was meant to be a chill trip, mostly to spend time with my cousins and other relatives. However, there were days that I did go to somewhere exciting!
Grape Picking in Bauang Town
This was the first time I went grape picking! Sad to say it wasn't really grape season so there weren't THAT many to pick in the first place, but it was still a fun experience! There were a fair few to pick, but it could also be because we were literally the only people there. I'm sure it'll be a lot more crowded when the grapes are in season!
There were produce on sale such as soursop wine (which basically tasted like sugar water to me, so it wasn't really my cuppa) and different sorts of snacks like dried fruits!
Luna Beach
This place is one of my favourite places to visit! I love that the entire beach is filled with pebbles instead of sand that gets in your shoes. There were two places you could visit, and of course, we had to visit them both and explore all the pebbly-ness!
Not entirely sure what was happening in this picture but I thought it was pretty funny.
The first museum we went to was filled with lots of painted artwork, not too much of pebbles, but it was definitely fun for my younger cousins since they haven't been there before.
And off to the second one, which was deeper in, and much more empty.

These had wayyy more interesting things to look at, and there were actually more pebble related sculptures as well! There were also two beautiful houses for you to explore!

The first house was a little smaller, and had a nice view of the beach from the second floor.
