Best in field trip ang eksena ko these past few weeks. Thanks to my kaladkaring brother Ge and my recently in between jobs (pinagandang term for tambay lol) bff Emer.
Sa ngayon mas medyo masaya kasama si Emer kasi may kotse sya kaya tipid na sa pamasahe, wala pang hassle. Pwede akong mag takong / pekpek shorts / or both. Last month, we went to UP Town Center. First time ko dito and I was impressed! Magaganda ang shops at ang daming choices ng pwedeng kainan.

After the heavy, nostalgia inducing meal, we went around UP Town Center, had dessert then went to our next stop sa field trip, ang La Mesa EcoPark!
May entrance fee sa La Mesa EcoPark, please refer to the picture below. May perks din pala kung below 3 feet ka, libre ang entrance. May pool din sa LME kaya bongga! Dala ng salbabida kung 3 footer ka nga.
Bumungad sa amin ang sobrang daming puno. Ang saya lang! Feeling ko matanda lang kami ni Emer kaya na enjoy namin ang mga kapunuan.
Bukod sa pang matandang activities, gaya ng matuwa dahil sa mga puno, may ibang activities to try pa sa LME. May zip line, may Bungee Fun at may Shooting Range. Ayan ang proof sa baba in case hindi kayo naniniwala.
Pumanaog na ako at tuloy ang lakad lakas namin around LME. More plants! More fun! Maganda ang LME, well maintained and it made us feel na wala kami sa city.
It started to drizzle kaya nag decide na kami umalis. Here is my OOTD btw. You can see why I don'y usually like wearing shorts and shoes, nag mumukha akong Bondying.
And that was one of my gala with bff Emer! Hope you could visit La Mesa Ecopark too. It's a fun and different experience from the usual trips to the mall, etc. You could get more information about La Mesa Ecopark here.
More recently, isa pang field trip stop namin ni brother Gerard naman ay ang National Museum. I have been here before with Emer as well pero inaya ako ni Ge kaya go. Ang masaya pa, libre ang entrance pag Sundays kaya go na go kami.
We dropped by the Manila Cathedral - such a lovely church! May nagaganap na kasal kaya bawal mag picture sa loob. Hindi ko alam kung dahil sikat ung kinakasal or dahil kinahihiya nya ung gown nya (na hindi gano maganda, yes nakita ko po lol)
Our tour continued, we saw the Plazuela de Sta. Isabel. It was built to commemorate the victims of war during the Battle of Manila in 1945.
Pupunta pa kami dapat ng San Agustin church kaya lang umulan! Ngayon ko lang napansin na sa mga field trip ko laging napuputol dahil sa ulan a. Anyways, we decided to head home dahil mag gagabi na din naman. Baka dumating pa ang mga Hapon.
If you want to visit the National Museum too, you can get more information here. Best to go during weekends kasi family day at libre ang entrance haha. Hindi ko lang alam kung pag 3 footer ka ay libre ka pag weekdays. Sana naman para dama pa din ang perk ng pagiging maliit :)
And that is all my dear friends, dalawang recent rampa aka field trip ko. I'm now going to do another kind of trip - mag blog hop naman ako at matagal tagal akong di nakapag basa ng ibang blogs. Thank you all for dropping by, as always, much love from me to all of you! XOXOXO! :)

Pero may punterya na kami ni Emer na kainan kaya kami pumunta ng UP Town Center. Ang Casa Verde! Dati sa Cebu lang may Casa Verde, na naging favorite namin kasi affordable, malaki ang serving at masarap. Lakas ko maka endorser no.
Anyways, mas maliit ang space ng Casa Verde sa UP Town Center. Ni wala akong ng harap nya kasi maliit ang space baka mahulog ako sa railing kung lalayo ako makunan lang ang harapan.

We were given menus pero hindi na kailangan. Sabay pa halos kami mag sabi ng "Brian's Ribs!" Favorite namin ang Brian's Ribs na may 3 slice of ribs served with rice and a side dish of corn and carrots - just for Php 250. See, affordable, malaki ang serving at masarap! (Endorser mode ulit) Tinabi ko ang fork so you can see kung gaano kalaki ang ribs. Parang ribs ng tao! ![]()
Edit: Brian's Ribs here is exactly the same as in Cebu! Love. For more information about Casa Verde and their dishes, you can click here. This is the Cebu site as I think wala pang sariling site ang UP Town Center branch.After the heavy, nostalgia inducing meal, we went around UP Town Center, had dessert then went to our next stop sa field trip, ang La Mesa EcoPark!

Since wala akong bet sa mga activities sa baba, gumawa ako ng sarili kong activiy. Umakyat ako ng bonggang hagdan with 200 steps! Montik ko ng hindi kayanin kaya lang may 2 nag da-date sa taas kaya tinuloy ko na, Nakakahiya naman kung susuko pa ako. Ngayon ko lang naisip na sila nga hindi nahiya na nag date sa hagdan.![]()
This is the view from 200 steps above pond level :)
Dito din masisilip ang totoong La Mesa Dam. Wala akong salamin kaya hindi ko nabasang No Camera and Video taking pala. Oh well papel.Pumanaog na ako at tuloy ang lakad lakas namin around LME. More plants! More fun! Maganda ang LME, well maintained and it made us feel na wala kami sa city.

Ang OOTD ko naman ang Pabebe Boy look. Jogger pants at rubber shoes saan ka pa.
There are a lot of people sa museum, syempre libre ang entrance e. Wag ng choosy. Gerard fell in love with the Spolarium as I did the first time I saw it.At na in love din ako sa walls ng museum na katerno ko o. Saklap.
We went around the museum looking for a painting para sa dirty kitchen.
We settled for Portrait of a Lady by Juan Luna kasi hawig kami, di ba.
Ge also saw Jose Rizal na ka peg ng buhok nya (Best in Waves)
And I saw a picture of a familiar volcano!
We went to Intramuros after doing the rounds in the National Museum. May mga naka abang na pedicab and kalesa offering a tour of Intramuros but we decided to take a walk instead.Which was a good idea kasi naka pag pikpakan kami ng malala. Perfect ang street art sa aking Pabebe Boy outfit! :)
