Breathtaking {Philippines}

All the pictures below are my favorites from my sister's travel album.  i can't help but share these because they're too adorable not to. these are just a glimpse of how Majestic and Awesome is the Creator of Heavens and the Earth. Philippines is really much blessed when it comes to natural resources and beautiful places. 

my sister was the one wearing white t-shirt

The Banaue Rice Terraces (Tagalog: Hagdan-hagdang Palayan ng Banawe) also called Payo, are 2000-year old Terraces that were carved into the mountains of Ifugao in the Philippines by ancestors of the indigenous people. The Rice Terraces are commonly referred to by Filipinos as the "Eighth Wonder of the World".It is commonly thought that the terraces were built with minimal equipment, largely by hand. {source}

The palm-studded island of Boracay - with its white, talcum-fine beach, balmy weather and warm, crystalline waters - is like a hypnotic magnet that lures many to a lotus existence. In this tiny, butterfly-shaped island at the northwestern tip of Pana in Western Visayas. {source}

The Calaguas Group Islands is comparable to Boracay and other world class beaches except it suits those craving for serenity. nothing beats the serenity, and peacefulness of the island. {source}

Both Calaguas and Caramoan Island are considered as "Hidden Paradise"

Majestic Mt. Pulag is highest peak in Luzon and one of the most beautiful mountains in the Philippines. Its fabled views, of winding slopes of dwarf bamboo, and distant peaks surging like islets in the ocean of lofty clouds, comprise perhaps the most breathtaking sights in Philippine mountaineering. The native tribes say that Mt. Pulag is the "playground of the gods". In Luzon, it is literally the closest to heaven that mountaineers can get! {source}

it all leave me breathless. i can't imagine how much more if I also get there someday (i will, for sure).
