Tara na sa Batanes..!

 
Road Trip to Amazing Batanes



        
Mangay aco du... Batanes. Masuyot!

    Batanes, the Best! I have always been fascinated with this place. Batanes is my ultimate dream destination here in the Philippines. I had been to different vacation spots but my heart has long been wishing to reach this serene place. I think my fascination with Batanes started when GMA Films created a movie named after the place.  It seems to me, Batanes is a haven. The place boasts a good profile in terms of its natural features; I am amazed as how GOD created such wonderful scenery. Nothing compares. No amount of words or adjectives can actually describe how beautiful this place is. It’s like whenever I see an image of Batanes, my heart wants to cry.  Batanes is a perfect example of being RICH and SIMPLE. Its simplicity is one of its main characteristics. Rich in culture, traditions and natural beauty is how Batanes can be defined.  More than the vacation I had been wanting, I think it is the desire of my heart. It seems I have an emotional connection with the place, which I am yet to find out.

Luckily, SEAIR has been very considerate to all of us. They have just created a contest that gives fair chances to everyone. I may not be a very good writer, but I think my best weapon is the true desire of my heart. I truly believe that I deserve to be given the chance to win one of the seats to Batanes. I would like to reward myself from a very stressed-full life. I am a working student. I work at night and go straight to school after. I go to work at 12 midnight and finishes by 9 a.m. I would then have to go to school at 1 p.m til 8:30 pm. That’s how my life revolves. It is very tiring yet rewarding. I am happy with what I am doing though there are times that I just find myself crying out of tiredness. So, if you permit to let me win, this would be a perfect time for me to have some kind of relaxation my mind and body has been looking for.

SEAIR ang Bahala Sa'Yo

     Batanes island, Philippines is unlike any other place in the country. Visitors to Batanes are greeted by the visual image of a wild smattering of islands in the north where cliffs meet the sea on pebbled shorelines; and goats and cows are sent out to pasture among green hills. 

    Batanes, Philippines has been described as looking more like the Scottish Highlands than the Philippines. There are no swanky hotels, no chic restaurants and sometimes, there isn’t even electricity. But these are not shortcomings. Instead, these factors only add to the rustic charm of Batanes island, Philippines.

   Aside from the beauty of the natural surroundings, those lucky enough to experience the wonders of Batanes, Philippines end up raving about the freshness of the cuisine. Nothing fancy, for sure, and yet incredibly good. Evening entertainment consists of identifying the constellations in the heavens over a cold bottle or two of beer.

Aurora Province not Aurora Quezon

Yes, you read it right. It is Aurora Province and not Aurora Quezon , at least not anymore. Our province is always a victim of this misconception. It is true though that we have been once part of the Quezon Province but for the longest time now Aurora has been granted a Province Status since August 13, 1979 by President Ferdinand E. Marcos  by virtue of Batas Bambansa Blg. 7. I can't blame the people if they still think that Aurora is still part of Quezon. Let's face it, our Province is not known very well. If not because of TYPHOONS we may not even have a mark on people's minds. But mind you, Aurora  can boast a lot of its good features. So Folks. Let me Introduce my Province. Yup, I am a Proud Auroran. Let me do this to help spread the information how beautiful my province is.  Aurora Province is located on the East-Central side of Luzon Island. It has a total land area of 323,954 hectares. Agriculture is the primary industry in Aurora, employing approximately half o

Schengen Visa for Filipinos

  I'd like to share with you my experience in applying for a Schengen Visa. I submitted my application last March 12 and got the decision last March 19 (5 working days). It was so tiring as I only had 2 weeks to gather/prepare all my documents, but it's all worth it. ️  Things you must remember:  • Secure an appointment at VFS Global website • On your appointment day, submit all the required documents.  • Please note that you are not directly submitting your documents at the Dutch Embassy. VFS is the application center handling all Netherlands Schengen Visa applications.  • VFS officer will thoroughly check your documents and will ask necessary questions when needed. In my case, no questions were asked.  • After documents submission, you will be asked to pay the Visa Fee + VFS Processing Fee (P5190). This is non-refundable in case of visa denial.  • Wait for your name to be called for Biometrics. VFS officer may ask some questions during this process. I was just asked when do I
