trips this year

I'm planning out three trips this year, all with different sets of friends:

to Batanes (an island in the Northern part of the Philippines)

a trek to Mt. Pulag (Cordillera Region, also up North)

and an Ilocos Norte adventure

(Bangui Windmills)

(Burgos Lighthouse)

(Paoay Church)

(Vigan Heritage Town)

My trip to Batanes--with college adventuremates (they're friends from a year lower than me who are fellow-Biyaheng Pinoy enthusiasts); my trek to Mt. Pulag--with the same college friends, officemates, and childhood friends (we need to form a group of at least 15 for the trek to be budget-friendly. hahaha!); and my trip to Ilocos Norte--with two of my good girlfriends. I noticed all my trips this year are up North :p

I'm just so ecstatic with these trips :) I'll be bankrupt by the end of the year, but to experience going to these places..gosh, spending money on these places is SO WORTH IT.
