Left Nevada again for a day trip in California.

Love love passing through these mountains whenever we're driving at Interstate 15.  hehe.  From the apartment complex, the lights of the cars are visible so when we haven't driven here yet, sobrang curious ko. haha! 
Since I lived near the Stateline, the radio program I am listening to at night always mentioned that the world's largest thermometer is at Baker, California. The first town you'll pass by after leaving Nevada on the way to California.

 The many times I passed by here though, we never went down the car 'cause stopping at Barstow instead of here makes more sense because eventhough they have the picture-worthy thermometer, it's still very close to Nevada for a stop-over.

Anyhow, aside from Las Vegas which is the usual destination of those driving through the Interstate 15. Baker is also where the Highway 127 is at to reach Death Valley National Park. (Will be posting about this soon but we passed through Pahrump and not here)
We passed by a Walmart store first to buy some food and drinks. haha. Junk food hahaha. I love doing the self-check outs at Walmart seryoso. 
This area is called San Gorgonio Pass
We passed by the area on our way to Mt. San Jacinto State Park


Some mountains still had snow on them. 
I love looking at windmills.

I don't know what's with it really but I love looking at them so whenever there's a windmill in sight expect me to turn my gaze towards that and kinda be happy that it's in front of me. If you can understand what I feel haha.


"It" started in Ilocos' Bangui Windmills because that was the trip when I decided that I want a life well travelled ganon. hahaha! It was my turning point actually 'cause my posts started to shift to travel from the usual food posts and inarte posts of 2012. 

Bangui Windmills link: here.
The 2013 me said and I quote, "It made me want to travel and explore. As far as I can and as much as I can. Yay to more intense wanderlusting. Boo to where should I get the funds. HAHAHA." - three years down the road, I still don't know where to get the funds but OMG! I kinda made it!!! I made it in my own way!!! Success na rin! :)) 4 countries (though layover lang 'yung isa) and countless cities since 2013 are definitely a dream come true for my 2013 self. Hope this continues! EUROPE PLEASE!!!! :)))


Pililla Windmills link: here.


Palm Springs is near Coachella Valley, you know, where the music festival is held but I won't be posting about Coachella nor Coachella Valley only the windmills in Palm Springs if it still isn't obvious. 


There are more than 4,000 wind turbines in the area.

Back then we were still not into taking videos of our trip so all I can show you are pictures. hehe. Sayang.
<3

Saya ko pls.

Some would consider this boring but huhuhu ansaya
Riverside, California Counties 
More windmills. <3
I only got to know it there that there are a lot of designs for windmills.


That happy feeling of finally seeing that place you've always looked at in pictures. Hehe. Not naman always pala pero I looked at Palm Springs one time in Instagram hoping that I can go there and hihi... I did!!! <3

and Palm Springs Aerial Tramway

Malaysia's Genting Highlands in 2014 link: here. My first cable car ride was there. :)



"I want to ride on a cable car on a winter day. Where? Money, where?" Well, you were kind of able to do it, 2014 self. hahaha. You rode a cable car and have experienced a day of winter. HAHAHAHA. Pwede na!


Let our faith be bigger than our fear. Huhuhu. Pushhhhhh. 

I didn't search on this too much. I just saw that there's a cable car/tramway in Palm Springs so we looked for it.

Little did we know that it is a State Park that is on top. 'Cause we initially thought that the Tram was our destination when the fact is, it is just a mode of transportation to get to the Park.

The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway—the world’s largest rotating tram car—travels over two-and-one-half miles along the breathtaking cliffs of Chino Canyon, transporting riders to the pristine wilderness of the Mt. San Jacinto State Park. During your approximately ten-minute journey, tram cars rotate slowly, offering picturesque and spectacular vistas of the valley floor below. Once you reach the Mountain Station—elevation 8,516 feet—enjoy two restaurants, observation decks, natural history museum, two documentary theaters, gift shop and over 50 miles of hiking trails.

Missed this kind of high!!

I really love high, overlooking places. Hihi. 
First California State Park! :)

These trees greeted us as we arrived at the top.

Like Mt. Charleston in Nevada and Lake Tahoe, this State Park is also famous for its snow/winter activities.
Not even 1/20 of the whole state park and we were already running out of breath. haha!
We didn't hike to the peak of Mount San Jacinto but we walked around this area of the self-guided walk which was the easiest and closest to the tram station. 
Don't know if we're going to the Discovery Nature Trail or Adventure Center.

Haha! I'm pretty sure we walked towards the Discovery Nature Trail but got lost so we ended up trekking/walking along the Desert View Trail. 

Pwede na! haha. Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks soon. Yes, life? :))) I still have a lot of State Parks and National Parks on my list!
The end of the desert trail!
Summit Moment!

Thankful. hehe.

Iba talaga appeal sa'kin ng bundok. I always have this inclination to go to anything mountain-related. HAHAHAHA!
I have a lot of pictures with big rocks in the states. Hahaha!
I miss my favorite shades! :( I broke it while travelling back to the Philippines. :( Naipit. :((( After sa lahat ng hirap na pinagdaanan mong kasama ako, shades. Dun ka pa bumigay. :((( Huhuhu! We were together for six months. hahaha!! Kainis talagaaaaaaa. :(
You'd notice that the park has a lot of broken branches and trunks like this.

It wasn't summer yet when we went there but the sun was already too hot.

That time, it was still cold in Las Vegas so we still didn't know that the "too hot" of San Jacinto was nothing compared to a "hot summer" day in Vegas. haha! 
Reyna. 

There was a caution sign saying that this area has an unsafe footing.

And yes, look at that stubborn "young lady"
My eye bags don't have to fight for survival though. Sa lahat, sila pinaka makaka survive.
There was a sign that one must take time and smell this tree so I did. hahaha.

Madali lang naman akong kausap.

It smells like a mix of vanilla and cinnamon. 
Mt. Pulag in Benguet is higher than this at 2,922 MASL. 
More Nature Trips please!

Mount Seoraksan and Nami Island :)))

Yesterday it was exactly a month since I came back to the Philippines and exactly three months to go til my next. <3
This is the rotating tram car.

On our way down.

Desert View. 
And me. :))
Goodbye, Palm Springs! :)

Last year, I compiled photos from the different flower fields/gardens that I visited in Japan and USA.

Spring 2019 - I said before that 2019 has been incredibly fast, well, di niya pa kasi kakilala si 2020 na ilang buwan ng gumigising sa walang kasiguraduhan at daily routine na nag simula nung March. lol pero k. HAHAHAHA. NVM. Alam niyo na 'yon. :)))

For this year, I'm compiling all my cable car rides in one post since nag "On This Day"  sa Facebook 'yung Maokong, Taiwan at dahil na-post ko na 'yung kulang which is the Ngong Ping Cable ng HK. 

BALIK-TANAW:


Genting Highlands, Malaysia

This was my first cable car ride and the funniest so far. HAHAHA! Buti di ako na friendship over dito. The friends that I was with during this cable car ride were scared of heights and we all didn't know that it would be this high kaya tuwang tuwa sila sa'kin niyan. Huwag na raw kami umalis ulit kahit kailan pero joke lang syempre, kasi umalis pa rin kami. HAHAHAHA!


Palm Springs Aerial Tramway
 San Jacinto State Park, California, USA

I was ecstatic when I learned that in order to get to the State Park, we were supposed to ride a cable car.  Baka naman Sequioa o Yosemite o Grand Canyon... sayang visa. HAHAHAHA!

Palm Springs Windmills and Baker, California


Del Mar County Fair, San Diego, California


I saw this in the post - my hand with a lot wounds because my skin reacts/has allergic reaction to the latex in the gloves that we use when cooking/preparing food in Las Vegas. Four years later, I've almost forgotten about these and my hands don't even have scars to remind me of those days. Sana ito rin. Four years in the future, I'll look back on this day and I won't remember the confusion that this phase brought to my life - sana point of breakthrough ang maalala ko. Mas maaalala ko 'yung saya, 'yung gratitude, 'yung strength at 'yung growth na nakuha ko rito... kung meron man. 


Maokong Gondola, Taiwan

There's a matcha ice cream waiting at the end of this cable car ride. To be honest, I was looking forward to that more than the cable car ride but since this was my first time riding a crystal glass-floored cabin, syempre tuwang tuwa rin ako. Ang saya. 


The nice thing about their cable car is that you won't have to pay extra if you want to experience the crystal cabin. The line is a bit longer for the crystal but at least, same price.

Taipei Zoo link: here.

BOOK YOUR TICKETS HERE.


Guia Lighthouse Cable Car, Macau

This was the one that we were supposed to look for in order to get to Guia Hill. The shortest of the cable cars I've ridden but well-appreciated since we would've taken the long route again if we weren't able to locate this Cable Car station. HAHA!


Wynn Palace, Cotai Strip, Macau

Sweetest surprise of Wynn Palace Macau. Rode this for five times just because it's free! HAHAHA! Again, I don't see this frequently in photos when people tour around Macau. I don't know if it's because cable cars aren't really interesting (ako lang ba tuwang-tuwa?) or because the location of Wynn is at the back of Cotai Strip that going there via bus is the more convenient way. 


Busan Air Cruise
Songdo Skypark, Busan, South Korea

BOOK YOUR TICKETS HERE


LOOOOOOVE! MY LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! 

What makes this different from the rest is that this is over the ocean. Madalas kasi through mountains 'yung cable cars. You can spend the entire day in Songdo beach since there are a lot of things to do in this area of Busan. I was having breakfast in our apartment's kitchen and then a friend came and asked me where was I spending my free time that day. I told her my "schedule" doesn't start until 6 in the evening so I basically have the entire day and was thinking of going far. One hour travel via public transport without traffic congestion is already far. You can do a lot of things in a day at masusunod pa rin schedule mo since hindi kakainin ng traffic 'yung oras. Anyway, ayon na nga, dito kami nagpunta. We rode a crystal cabin. Gosh. Wala kong masabi. Mahal kita, Busan. I will always look forward to visiting you again. 


Must-visit Places in Busan, South Korea


Nagasaki Ropeway, Japan
10 Million Dollar Night View at Mt. Inasa, Nagasaki

This place is considered one of the three World's Best Night Views pero syempre... pinuntahan namin ng umaga. HAHAHA! Experience is in the link kasi wala naman na ako masyadong masabi. This is just a short ride to get to the viewing area at Mt. Inasa. 


Ngong Ping 360
 Lantau Island, Hong Kong

BOOK YOUR TICKETS HERE. 

This, for me, has the nicest view so far 'cause it has everything that I want to see when travelling. You have your city with the high-rise buildings, your body of water, your mountains and your forest. You can also opt for a crystal cabin if you want to.

No wonder this cable car ride and the one I've mentioned earlier in Palm Springs, California are included in the World's Top 10 Cable Car experience. 


Vivaldi Snowyland
Yangpyong, South Korea

My first and only out-of-the-country trip this 2020. This cable car ride was from the ski slope to the ice park in the mountains and vice versa. 

💗💗💗

My could haves, should haves, and would haves. Dami, noh? I saw this in a different perspective now that I am constructing my post. Kasi it was never ending eh, it is never ending. I keep reaching for something. I keep wanting more. Not remembering that this was one of the things I wanted and hoped for some six years ago. And kung hindi ko pa 'to ma-appreciate lalo dahil lang ang dami kong gusto na biglang nawala at bumalik sa mga "someday" kong di ko na naman alam kung paano. What would that make me?

Ganon naman, noh? We're a work in progress, haven't figured everything out, nagre-realign ng mga wants and priorities (though it took me a pandemic to finally do this at nadadapa pa rin ako minsan! HAHA!) We grow and we change. Not striving for a dream you once had doesn't make you a lesser a person. It's just that you've outgrown whatever that was because of current circumstances. Most important thing talaga, we're trying. 

Gusto kong i-upload at i-kwento lahat lahat pero as you can see, nagiging sentimental ate mo ghorl kaya isa-isa lang. Okay. Enough enough. Cable car compilation 'to. Hindi kaartehan. HAHA!


Changi International Airport
Singapore

Infairness sa gusto ni Tintin 2014, nakarami naman na siya na cable car ride until 2020. At ito na nga ang final before the pause. 'Yung cable car ride on a winter day. Kinikilig ako actually at nakaka-amaze at the same time na ito na 'yon oh. 'Yung "sana" ko six years ago, tapos na pala. hehehe! Sana. Sana. Sana. Para sa ibang mga bulong at mga bagong hiling ng puso ko. Sana. Sana. Sana. 

May mga bagay na hindi pa natin alam kung paano pero nangyari at nagawa natin. ❤️ Just like all our concerns, frustrations, wishes, dreams now... hindi pa man natin alam kung paano exactly pero magagawan at magagawan ng paraan. 🥰
Everything, in time. 💖
