Roadtrip Adventure with Shell V-Power Nitro+ & Mazda

Two weeks ago, I, together with a few blogger friends and members of the press, went on a surprise road trip adventure! Our trip was fueled by Shell V-Power Nitro+ and our cool rides were provided by Mazda Philippines. The invitation came at the last minute and normally I decline such invitations 'coz of other commitments, but I quickly said yes because one, I patronize and use Shell fuel in real life as a driver and two, I just love events which involves travel and adventure! It was a fun-filled day spent with my favorite fuel brand, blog friends and new friends! Stories through photos below...

Random Roadtrip with Caltex

Been posting about my adventures with Caltex the past 2 months and it's the most fun I've ever had when gassing up. So much perks when I use my HappyPlus card! Got my own for just P100. Application is easy as 1-2-3. Pluuuus, my car gets extra protection coz of their fuel's Techron advantage. Anyway, headed north 2 months ago with Nico when I suddenly had a free day. We wanted to check the outlet shops in Pampanga and just get away and go on a random road trip. Of course, dropped by Caltex first to fill up our tank and conduct a routine checkup (water, tires, breaks, etc). Photos!

 I AM NOT A MORNING PERSON! Shirt from Oxygen. So meee. Haha.

 Dami ko ng points! Used it na when I ate in Chowking and Jollibee. Hihi.

Our friendly neighborhood gas boys. Hihi.

 First stopover! Breakfast along NLEX:)

 Ate at KFC. Hihi. Favorite ko talaga stopovers.

 I love road trips more:) Smooth drive lang!

 Stopped by Robinsons, Pampanga to check out some outlet stores!

Bought from MANGO (parang same price din sa mall when they do end of season sale) and CLN. Was able to buy 2 pair of shorts and a bracelet for P2k. Still a little pricey noh? But keri na din! This is where clothes from past seasons go ata.

 On our way to Duty Free Clark! Thank God talaga for WAZE. Haha.

Walang magawa...

 mga paandar in the car. Hahaha!

 

Taray ng sign...

Lakas maka California, minus the tricycle.

 God???? Look at the beam of light from the sky!

 Finally...Duty Free!

We got disappointed lang coz most of the prodcts sold there, you could find in SM Hypermart... in dollars nga lang. Haha! They even have Alfonso vodka. Weeeh? But I still bought food na din, mostly Kraft products, to make me happy. Haha.

Decided to check out Marquee Mall too...

ALDO's outlet store was pretty small. Bigger pa din in Nuvali. Bought accessories on sale nalang:)

Nico and I love eating and are always hungry, so we decided to stop by the famous Aling Lucing for a much deserved sisig break!

 Anthony Bourdain approves ;)

 Our meal.. all for just under P300. The sisig's so tasty and delicious!!! 

 That ends our road trip!!! Don't forget to drop by Caltex, gas up and redeem your HappyPlus points:)

"To Imelda, my love, no matter how dark the night, how dreary the day, however heavy the burden of state and depressing the ways of friend..My soul lifts, my heart soars and my face lights up at just a glimpse of you." (*tears*)

We also passed by Ferdinand Marcos' mausoleum, but pictures were not allowed. Creepy sha and surreal ang feeling. Imagine walking in a dark room, with mala Gregorian music and props by the door. The only light in the room is by the crystal encasing his body on a bed of flowers.

Lighthouse!

Last stop: WINDMILLS!
