I like the mountainous areas more, because I prefer cold weather. Plus, I don't like salt water; just chlorinated water, please. :)

Those craggy rocks looks more hospitable to me... What does those mountains look look like when backdropped by a sunset? It would probably be a lot more welcoming. And then you place wolves at the peak, and some hyenas a bit lower... Oh forget it. :)

Ira: I agree about the salty water. I was born and grew up in Manila. My first exposure to unchlorinated water is a bit of a reality check. Meron palang ganung tubig? Of course it may be because I was too young then... And trust me, the beach is colder at nights.

tough choice... i love the mountains because it certainly feels like i'm on top of the world whenever i climb. para ding ang lapit mo na sa langit...

pero i also love the ocean and the beach... iba ang effect sa akin ng waves. soothing talaga.

Oo nga,pwede bang both? I just got back from the Malabing Valley, Nueva Vizcaya, Banaue and Sagada though, so pwede na rin siguro ang mountain.

Re:Malabing Valley, Nueva Vizcaya, the place is simply awesome. Talk about unspoilt. It's got a 6 km. limestone cave with impeccable stalactitie and stalagmite formations. Sometimes nga, nagkakasalubong na, ang sabi sa amin, tawag doon "stalagmate". Get it? :) The best part is, the cave is hardly visited. (We were visitors no. 792 to 800 only, according to the logbook)I guess the reason for this is that the cave was only discovered by a Japanese spelunker 3 years ago.

Access lang nga ang problema. It's a 4 hour ride up rough (as in REALLY rough)roads with matching river crossings pa, from Solano, N.V.Unfortunately, Solano,N.V. is 6 hours from Manila.

Anyway, we stayed at this Citrus orchard owned by an Ifugao man by the name of Alfonso Namujhe. I swear he has the best citrus fruits I've ever tasted (ponkan, Oranges, dalanghita, etc.). The guy trained in Australia, and he was told that the location of Malabing vis-a-vis the equator, coupled with the red clay and inclined terrain were perfect for raising Citrus fruits. Talo ang imported! He has this one fruit, satsuma, a Japanese variety of orange, that is so good. Walang trace ng asim at all. Better yet,no seeds.

So, if any of you have the inclination, a taste for oranges, plus the desire to wake up in the morning with the clouds as your blanket and the freshest mountain breeze as your alarm clock- - I strongly suggest you go.

the ocean definitely. picture sitting on a powdery sand beach, sipping on some fresh fruit juice, staring at the waves as the tide comes in. it's so peaceful. u hear the waves & it sort of lulls u 2 sleep. ang sarap ng feeling... lalo na pag sunrise or sunset... *sigh* i miss d beaches of australia...

Yes, you may have both views in certain places. In San Simeon, California, the Hearst castle sits atop a mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Talaga breath taking ang view from the top, especially during sunset.

I'd have them both. The scenic "dry land" paradise in Kevin Costner's Waterworld is my idea of having both worlds. You have the ocean, misty mountains, tall waterfalls, green woodlands and an assorted mix of flora and fauna. It borders on the surreal and enchanting I tell you. Simply beautiful. :)

i like both. it depends kung ano *** mood ko. pero masarap pag nasa top ka ng mountain at kita mo ang lahat sa paligid mo. masarap din kung nasa ocean ka. presko, tapos may dolphins! :D

Don't like the mountains we have here...too much jungle, mud, insects, etc...

Give me a desert mountain in Morocco or the Sierra Nevada..pwede na.

But I like our beaches and the ones around SE Asia...don't like the beaches in the West :P

bakit kaya kakaunti ang mountain city sa pilipinas? sangkatutak ang mga beaches kaya magsasawa ka. dapat magdevelop pa tayo ng tulad ng baguio, tagaytay, et al. Any suggestion as to where?

This is hard..I like them both...:nope:


hmmm.....I like them both :D

The Pacific Northwest would've been perfect, with its beaches and mountains..if only her beaches are as warm as the ones in Southern California though...
