Travel Experience in San Juan, La Union

Looking for a place with the right mix of fun, calm and festive? La Union is the right and perfect place to be.

Every summer me and my family likes to spend our vacation wherein we would get to experience new things or somewhere we weren’t able to explore yet. We spend our vacation in San Juan, La Union and we definitely had a great time.

Well this picture shows how my parents had a wonderful time during our vacation. This picture is taken at The Farm in Agoo, La Union where we had our lunch before heading to our hotel.

The Farm Agoo, La Union 

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Agoo. The dining are is an American-Colonial style house in the middle of an expansive garden beautifully decorated with decorative plants. Don’t eat here if you are in a rush though this place has a lot of instagram worthy backgrounds for your feed.
This is us when we had the chance to take pictures at The Farm.

Flotsam and Jetsam Hotel

Flotsam and Jetsam is a perfect place to stay at if you will be staying in La Union. This is a must visit because of the wonderful ambiance and the accommodation, the food and its value for money is worth it!

We even tried the F&J Bar. The music, the food and the chilly vibe was all good!

Movie Review: The Greatest Showman (2017)

“The Greatest Showman” is a good old-fashioned cornball PG musical that is also a scintillatingly flashy — and woke! — immersion in up-to-the-minute razzmatazz. It takes the life of P.T. Barnum, the anything-goes circus impresario of the 1800s, who is played with irresistible effervescence by Hugh Jackman, and turns him into a saintly huckster-maestro who invented the spirit of modern showbiz by daring to follow his dream. At the same time, the film takes Barnum’s infamous believe-it-or-not attractions — Tom Thumb, Dog Boy, Tattoo Man, the Bearded Lady — and makes them over into sensitive enlightened outcasts, a kind of 19th-century freak-show gallery of identity politics.

How piously anachronistic is that? Very. Yet “The Greatest Showman” wants to give you a splashy good time, and does, and it’s got something that takes you by surprise: a genuine romantic spirit. The numbers are shot like electromagnetic dance-pop music videos, and to say that they sizzle with energy wouldn’t do them justice — they’re like a hypodermic shot of joy to the heart. You know you’re watching conventional chorus-line-with-a-beat flimflam, all decorating a tall tale, but that’s the ultra Hollywood pleasure of “The Greatest Showman.” It’s a biopic that forges its own uplifting mythology, and if you think back on it when it’s over and feel, maybe just a little bit, like you’ve been had — well, that’s part of its sleight-of-hand charm. P.T. Barnum would have been suckered by it, and would have approved.
