Pottery Making with Cham (thanks Tita Marlyn for this pic)
I find pottery making romantic & sexy maybe because of Demi Moore & Patrick Swayze's steamy scene on the movie Ghost. I also love the idea of creating something amazing with my own two hands so I was quite excited to go to Burnayan Pottery.
I love long weekends, it gives me an opportunity to do what I love most- TRAVEL! So for this 3-day halloween break my family decided to spend it in ILOCOS.
Ilocos is divided into two major provinces- Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte which is located in the northern part of Luzon. Famous for numerous tourists spots and great cuisine, Ilocos is considered to be one of the most visited places in the Philippines. This trip is one of the those trips that was on my Travel Wish List a long time ago so I was really happy I can finally strike it out on my list.
