Windmills!!!!! What comes to my mind is Bangui Windmills in Ilocos Norte I know I haven't been there hehehe but I'm pretty sure that I will visit it if time permits. One of the best tourist spot up in the north (Philippines). Anyway, I know it's not literally called windmills like the Old fashioned windmills that I saw now. Because those giant Wind turbines in Ilocos which I think use generators to convert energy of the wind into electricity, while the old one here I saw do mechanical work, means no generators.
Windmills always fascinating me, specially when they are big and old :) I love them! It feels like I'm living in my own farmville with lots of lotss!!!! of windmill hahaha
Oppps I saw something !! Is that a windmill?
Seriously, I've always seen it from afar whenever me and boyfriend went out driving and I can't remember how many times I've said it to him "can we please drop-by on that windmill and have some photos?" hahahaha!! and finally he say OKEY!! LOL happy kid :P
It was so wonderful.!!
I'm Free!!! :)
This is Riddargardskvarnen, a pristine mid-nineteenth-century windmill :) A remarkable structure sight along the road. What I've read about it is that, before it was run as a flour mill and is now maintained by the local people since the owner died . It is open to public and they allowed tourist to wander around the site. What a great experience to see it up close :)
Windmill at Gammlia Museum at Umeå, Sweden
They have also wind turbine along the road (they use it for electricity i guess)
That's for now guys!I hope you guys like my pictures until next time of adventure I'm gonna look and find more old fashioned windmills !! :)

Yesterday, I was so happy to see the first snowfall this winter 😊. I spend hours watching and enjoying the beauty of it outside our window. I'ts one of the few things that I considered truly magical and amazing.
first snowfall this year 😊
I really love the white snow and walking down the path of snow flakes makes me fulfill my dreams and happiness 😊, a truly winter white Christmas for me.
Another year of snow and another year of thick clothes and socks.

My boyfriend and I always plan for an unusual things to do everyday and visiting old castle is always on top of our list 😊. Since we visited Gräfsnäs Castle and Läcksö Castle already we come up to look for another one and that is Tjolöholm Caslte in Halland,Sweden.
Tjolöholms slott, Halland
The Castle is open to the public throughout the years and you can check on their site for some calendar activities and some exceptional dates when they are close HERE IS THEIR SITE👈
What a lovely facade!
We went there yesterday because of their traditional large Christmas Market called Julmarknad på Tjolöholm and this year is their 26th year. For a days, small shops and food seller from different part of Sweden visit there to sell their food delicacies and unique works. They also offer some free taste of their products which I really really like 😂 meats, cheeses, jellies, candies, nuts and julmust and many more.
We really like this different flavors of fudge yums!😋
The second castle we visit is Gräfsnäs Castle. This castle is very old. Originally built in the 16th century and according to an old tale/legend, this castle is cursed by a woman that was badly treated by the landowner. She cursed the castle that no family would own it for more than three generations, and cursed was laid upon it that it would burn three times with 100 years between each fire and so it did happened 1634, 1734 and 1834. They say after the fire in 1834 no-one bothered to rebuild it again and it has been a ruin ever since.
Me at Läckö Slott (visit their site) Amazing structure and they called it as "A pearl in the shores of Lake Värnern" in Sweden.
I am a big fan of an old castle (any castle) and it always fascinating me :) Europe castle was indeed amazing they're so beautiful with rich culture and interesting stories to tell. It always gave me this great feelings about my childhood dreams and happiness.
To cut the story short,I promised my self that someday I will have a chance to see all the castle that can be found around in Europe (haha yeah right! I know it is a big dream at all) but who knows!
Puerto Princesa Underground River is indeed beautiful, a truly Philippines' great treasure :) When I saw this place, I realized how lucky I am to see this wonderful nature right inside our country and I am proud to say it that Philippines is really amazing *wink!!
Puerto Princesa Higlights :)
Anyway for those who didn't know: The Underground River/Puerto Princesa Subterranean River is now one of the new 7 wonders of nature. A UNESCO world heritage site and one of the longest navigable underground rivers in the world. Wow! Tours here nowadays are being regulated by the our government and if you wish to visit this tourist destination, you'll have to book in advance. Its so popular now and if you guys were planning to visit on a peak season well, think again hehe.
On our way to Sabang port and all you can see is a green leafy background with Limestone hills on the side
This post might be a
little late na po * nye! super duper late na pala kasi I went to Cebu last
year pa and I forgot share this amazing experience of mine haha I just
browsing my old photo album just now and saw this LoL!.. Anywai, when it comes to attractiveness tour, escapade and challenges
I think this one big whale is also on top of the list. Aside of it number of people
that have already spread the news about swimming with the whale and make some post about it, even reaches national television pa and featured on some documentary
channel as wel . But
it was truly a very great experience for me, SWIMMING with them is sooo FUN!!!!
wholla! is that me???... hahaha!!
The whale sharks were
beautiful, but their size makes them pretty frightening. Although I'm a beach
lover and a fish lover ever since but this!!, This one is really makes me feel quiver :P hahaha I don’t
know much about whales feeling ko nangangat sila hahahaha!! lOl do I look like A big plankton!! hahaha, but being near
the mouth of this whale hmm this shark!! is something that I find rather scary. Ok lng
sana kung they were just swimming along lang with us and minding their own business
na kumain lang 😂. But I and the whole gang were there, in THEIR territory,
and it would not be the whales fault if they accidentally sucks us in and
swallows us whole. hahahaha *paranoid lang.
It was really an amazing
experience because it was my first time to get near in a very big fish haha (
yabang ko noh,😂 kasi hindi luto yung big fish hahaha).
Spelunking at Sagada Cave is now my second favorite extreme adventure, next to
my intense PLUNGED experienced at Bohol last year :). Seriously, I’m not really
into spelunking lol or maybe I don’t know what it is or I guess I don’t want to
walk into darkness, take note 4-5 hours inside the cave
only with gas lamp (petrol lamp) hehe and since all my friends are into it and I don’t want
to be called chicken wings or whatever they call it…so I go with them for the
sake of friendship hehehe :P BUT I tell you…its really worth it.. *wink
[Sorry for the quality of the picture :P medjo malabo. po] My friends and I at King's Curtain
My friends and I planned for another vacation this year and we decided to conquer SAGADA :). Since we will going to have a long holiday vacation on end of the month of November, we figured out that this is the best time to visit it :) (I agree because I never been in SAGADA. It always been a dream for me to visit that place, I only saw it in a documentary program in GMA 7 before, i think that is iwitness.) So here it goes they booked a package tour @ PARANA tours for 3,200 petot per head for 3Days/2nights of stay) .
All of us were really excited for the long road trip via a small opps big van. A very long butt-aching ride before we reached our final destination lol :P. Good thing we had some several stop- over to discharge, refill our stomach and empty our bladders *wink. Tip: You have to prepare (5) five peso coin to be able to use a comfort room or else "sa bukid walang papel" hahaha.
I heart Sagada so much, the moment I laid my eyes on its magnificent scenery I can say it is indeed beautiful... I know in my heart it is a paradise :)

Wow, that was one hell of a ride!! Nothing beats to go SUISLIDE (zipline) between two big cliffs :) at Danao. SUISLIDE it sounds like suicide :P haha maybe they called it suislide to attract more people who are more into an extreme adventure (yep...including me) lol.
oh no! what an early death lol :) just kidding!!

If you're planning to go there you can hire a van or simply got to the Bus terminal and ride a bus that going to Danao. The terminal is located in Tagbilaran City. Joy ride for about 30-45 minutes away from the city.
