San Juan's Best: The Pottery Making

Have you been to North? or should I say, have you been to the Surfing Capital of the North? Did you pass by the national highway of  Taboc, San Juan and see the arrays of colorful and creative  pottery displays of the Ilocanos? If not, I will show you some photos because Aliz took pictures, as her travel "bayong" posses with these products made of clay.

 The Ilocanos uses clays with their bare hands for making bricks, pots, cooking stuffs and even garden accessories. I bought some decors for my garden and some pots for my seedlings. I got some vase too.

Next time, if you pass here, try to stop, drop and learn as you watch the Ilocanos in their pottery making. I suggest that it  is better if you can try to make one of your own as a remembrance.

La Union Surfing Break 6: Aliz Was There!

3 days, of whole day of fun, 3 nights, of whole night of enjoyment. I  don't surf, but I really love watching surfers a lot. That's why I flock to San, Juan, La Union to watch the Surfing Competition.

San Juan's Best: at Kahuna Beach Resort and Spa

The skies was  darkened and the waves grew choppier, and someone knocked my door. Oh, it was my friend from Belgium with her son Rover. We decided to go out and contact our friends. Hmmm....what other place to go in times of  weather like this? I thought of San Juan, the surfing camp of the North. I don't surf but I love watching surfers chasing the wind.

We went to Kahuna Resort, the boutique resort and spa with Balinese-inspired cottages, my friends were so excited when we reach the place, they had a lot fun watching the beach views, capturing photos here.. and.. there.... actually we even saw Akihiro, the winner of Survivor Philippines, he stayed also in Kahuna Resort with his companions. My friend, Jecelyn was the one insisting me to take a picture with him but I am shy to take a picture..LOL!

Sunset Viewing

Urbiztondo, San Juan

It was a sunny Saturday and my family decided to go to the beach and after swimming, I can't help my self to put my foot in the sand...such a wonderful feeling!, we decided to stay for awhile just to view the sunset.

at 5:55 PM

Finally, the amazing view started to show up and it is indeed a good idea to wait and relax.

We really had a great time watching the beautiful sunset in the beach. It releases stress in our minds and sitting in the sand along the beach is also a pleasure.
