Being a [tita] (http://says.com/ph/fun/what-type-of-tita-are-you) or a [tito] (http://says.com/ph/fun/1b8e207f-edc5-489d-a205-adcf60260e18) comes with a lot of responsibilities!
If you are one, I'm sure you're not only considered a confidante by your sister or brother when everything goes clueless and messy at home. Sometimes, you are their instant babysitter when they have to go somewhere with their spouse to *vacay* and leave you behind all the household chores — what else?

Since you're reading this (obviously), it's probable that you're literally dying to get yourself some real vacay…
You don't have to go abroad (Hong Kong again?) to be able to have fun and relax at the same time! You can just invite your *barkada*, set a date, then voila! You can now go to an adventure… after 5 years.
Well, as long as you'll continue the plan, no problem with that, eh?

Now, who's up for a serious adventure (besides Zumba, badminton, and what have you)???

Ziplining in Pangasinan and Baguio!

Pangasinan offers so, so much!

Must-try their *Bangus Sisig* and Hundred Islands's zipline (which is 546 meters by the way)!
