Soooo...I went to Ilocos PART 4


So this is part 4, the last part of my Ilocos series.
We went to a house where they weaved cloth, here's a lady collecting the threads. Once she's done collecting them, she delivers it to another house where it is being weaved.

LOOK AT ALL THOSE THREADS! :))
ONE BAMF THIS LADY IS!


Here's the next house where it is being weaved. :D


We went back to the bus where we obviously were having fun. We kept laughing at the silliest things.





The sun was setting really fast and we were like on a rush when we got to this church.


Here's the bell tower located far away from the church.




We wanted to go near the tower but it was tooo far and we had to leave soon..soo. no. :/




My friend Pam.


We were laughing here because we kept posing with Pam and it seemed like Pam was a celebrity then. =))))




Monica does not like to have her picture taken, but she likes taking ours. -___-


We went to the Crisologo house, apparently they were famous there in Ilocos/Vigan and it kept on bothering us, "WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY?!" :))))) We had no idea who they were but we knew that they were big-time peeps coz their house was presereved and it was turned into a museum.

Here's a cool hippie Jesus. :))



Random sculpture.


And Mother Mary, bending. :))


WE'RE IN VIGAN!!!
CRISOLOGO STREET BABY! It was veryyy pretty, too bad we got there at dark already :|
Here's Eggy, Pam, and Monica.


LE OZOM STREET.
IT WAS DARK, I APOLOGIZE.



Ooohhh, weird symbol.



Sooo breath-taking!!!


Cool huge door.



In Crisologo Street, there's a Superclub. =)) It's called Legacy.



Le Vintana and ze ventanilla. :))



Kids playing. One kid even groped Eggy's butt, she was happy. =))


GUUYYSS!! A BADASS SCOOTEERRR!!! Reminds me of a Vespa which I desperately wantt but unfortunately cannot have. It is very expensive.

I almost got hit by a car when I took this photo. Now I know how Tommy Ton feels when he takes street photos. =))


Scary old sculpture???


We reached the end of the street! :D
There was Max's there so we ate coz we were starving already.


Pam.


Tin.


Eggy.


The surrounding is sooo pretty.


Me eating my rice. :| :))


We got to the bus and we felt shitty and exhausted. Eggy was back on her emo mood again and slept. THE WHOLLLEEEE BUSSS RIDE HOOMMEE. Tin was just playing with the bottle holder and Pam and I laughed at her. When the bus started moving, Monica was talking a lot and I just wanted to sleep so I plugged my earphones in my ears. :))

Soooo...I went to Ilocos PART 3


The next day, we went to the pretty electric windmills/turbines or whatever you call 'em. They were so huge and pretty and I felt soooo small. :(

This is my friend, Monica. She's got her bitch-face on! :))))


This is my superrr nice friend Teen! :)) So cute.


Here they are together! :)))


Monica took this cute dog wanderin' around the sandy beach. AZKALLLLL!!! :))
Azkal/Askal/Asong Kalye means street dog in tagalog, btw.



This is my very weird/moody/undecisive friend named Eggy. Her real name's Louise Jenelle but we call her Eggy coz of her last name "EGEA". NOTE her knees are filled with band-aid because she keeps hitting the bench (or random things) in our room! =))) OH, AND SHE HAS A FETISH FOR BAND-AIDS. :)))

We also teased her for her floral top saying how "TOPSHOP-y" it was. =))


Soooo overwhelming...especially when you're actually there!



This is the beach, the waves are really strong and I think we are currently looking at the direction of the South China Sea!

I wouldn't mind stayin at this place alone. A little quiet time from the busy streets of Manila ain't bad ya know. Up there in the mountains behind this photo lies a house. I wouldn't mind living in that house for a few days just to have a holiday. A rest house would be nice. Near the beach prefferably...I must add that to my list. :))



We gon' leave nao...I WILL MISS THE PEACEFUL SCENERY. I LOVED IT. I WANT TO COME BACK TO THAT PLACE AGAIN. :<


This is a photo from the stairs going to the Lighthouse, alas, the lighthouse was closed when we visited. Our efforts climbing the stairs was trashed. :)) But the view here was nice too! Look at the pretty waves crashing :D



Then we got our lunch break in the dragon fruit farm. DRAGON FRUITS ARE YUMMY YOU GUYS, YOU SHOULD TRY EM!!! There was a tree "house" in the farm and my friends got up there and voilaaa!!! :)))




Then we went to Sta. Monica church.
We tried to go inside the bell thingo but Monica freaked out coz a butterfly went to her and we all thought something was inside so...neverminds. Oh, and the gate was kinda chained anyways so, yeahhhh.


This church, btw, HAS THE LONGEST AISLE! We wanted to check how long the aisle was but the church was closed because there was an event in the nearby town that needed all of the church peeps. So yeah, we couldn't enter inside. :(

Oh, and did you know that if it's the first time you enter a church you get to make 3 WISHES!!! Too bad we couldn't enter this one. :(


Here's the side of the church where some bricks had fallen, my friend's Teen and Io tried climbin' it.

I think this is a museum but since there was an event, it's closed.

Everyone went wild (not really) about this "street food" where ice is involved with chocolate syrup, and marshmallows. :))) I forgot what it's called.

My friend Pam is hereeee again. :))

Here's Io eating that street food.


The next church! Dunno what it's called but this one was open! Sooo, I went inside and made 3 wishes! :D


Then we roamed around town and saw THE SINKING BELL TOWER!!!!!! IT IS LITERALLY SINKING! :O See the door...half of it is left above ground! :)) Amazeballz.


Here's a photo of the bell tower from afar.
Look at the bahay na bato(stone house) next to the gas station, past and present combined! WOAH! :))))


Io checkin this old fountain out. :)


Please do not mind the ass of Fernando Poe, Sr./ the Oblation statue. :)) I took the photo of the peace thingy, okay?. :))


Cool building, no? If I remember correctly, it's a museum but the day we visited was a holiday so it's closed. :(

Cool thingyyyy!!! :)))


AND WE TRIED THE INFAMOUS EMPANADAS!!! IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD WITH LONGGANISA INSIDE, AND EGGS, AND VEGGIES!


Part 4 comin up! :))
