Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca.

Coco Mountain Resort in Montalban, Philippines


This time I decided to find a place that was not too far away to drive from Manila some place that look different other than the beach.

Even though I am not in my real hometown to be with my family and close friends at least I can find something that comes to mind.

When I had discovered Coco Mountain Resort my family and friends kept discouraging me to go here. They always said, why here. I kept telling them it just looked different in picture and I wanted to find something usual to write it up in my blog.

Coco Mountain Resort is fifteen minutes away from Wawa Dam is known to ride your bikes, hike and open to the public. If you are into nature this place is for you.
