Makiling Botanical Garden Adventure

My eagerness to enter Makiling's Botanical Garden in the University of Los Banos, Laguna started when I was still in my 2nd year in highschool. We had our fieldtrip and one of the itineraries will be inside UPLB's Botanical Garden. We weren't able to enter the said garden because some students from another school (Ateneo de Manila HS) were so stupid to fall in a manhole inside. And because I studied in an exclusive all girl's school (St. Scholastica's Academy in Marikina), we were not allowed to roam around and we ended up eating lunch inside the bus and visiting IRRI (still inside that freakin' bus).

Now, after 7 long years, I have overcome my hang ups with UPLB's Botanical Garden. After a great trailing adventure, courtesy of my beloved boyfriend, Paul, I have satisfied my yearning to visit that place. Some pictures are posted here.



With all the ADVENTURES that I had visiting this place, I would definitely come back! :)
