Since April, we had 2 very long weekends, (5 days to be exact) and yet I’m still confined within the walls of the city. I did not meant for it to be this dull, believe me - I had my summer all planned out. But, things get a little bit tricky especially if you thought you were always prepared for something unexpected. True enough, my 2 long weekend trips were cancelled, my friends are nowhere to be found (probably enjoying dipping their toes in the beach or maybe loitering somewhere only God knows where) while I am pinned in this unimaginable series of wasted days, cold coffees and stale beers within the walls of my viridian colored apartment. Just when it was a little too much to bear, 3M™, one of the leading worldwide companies dedicated to applying science and innovation to tools that make our daily lives better, invited us for a road trip! Who would say no? Not us! Most of us know that there are countless destinations worthy of an excursion, just few hours away from Metro Manila. We’re all so eager to get in a van with our homies to have a good time. But with the summer sun beating down, sometimes it makes it harder to enjoy your roadtrip. Everyone wants that pretty tan, but seriously, how can you have fun on the way over when the sun gets to be too much? With 3M™, the journey is just as important as the destination, and what better way to give you maximum comfort on road trips? Get your car tinted! 3M™ Automotive Tints offers us a wide collection of automotive tints that are a must-have for car owners; the Philippines tends to get outrageously hot ™ Together with my blogger friends, Patrick Velasco (@pabeevelasco) and Jovelyn Mateo (@jovelynbmateo) and the rest of the team, we left Manila at around 5am, just as the sun was breaking out onto the horizon. We had a 2-hour drive to Rizal. I’ve never felt dizzier in my whole life. The road was just too much! I felt like we were driving in curves the whole time. By the time we got there, the sun was already high in the sky, but it was still very comfortable inside the van! (Amazing tint!) 3MTM Automotive Tints aren’t your normal tints fam, they don’t just protect you from harmful sun rays, but they also come in four variants that encompass style and comfort ensuring that you can have a good trip wherever you go! Variants of 3M™ Auto Tints: CRYSTALLINE tint is the perfect film for high-end cars since it offers clear and lightly tinted film technology that gives comfort without ruining the car’s original appearance. COLOR STABLE tint is perfectly made for people who prefer privacy. The films are made to be dark from the outside while maintaining clarity from the inside. BLACK CHROME tint will definitely keep you cool with its metallic films. It also protects your car’s interior from fading since it blocks up to %99 of harmful (UV) rays. SCOTCHSHIELD ™ SECURITY tint is your safety and security tint that will definitely protect your stuff from getting stolen. The unique feature of this tint is that holds your window together even if the window glass gets broken. See? They’re not your typical automotive tints! They don’t turn violet! Our van had the Color Stable Tint, making it felt very comfortable to sit around and chat with everybody! After a while, we finally found ourselves in the heart of Rizal Province. First stop: Tinipak River and Cave, Daraitan! TINIPAK RIVER & CAVE TREKWell, it was a very tiring, but satisfying trek! And not to mention, the cave was just majestic! Now on to the next destination! Well, not really. We stopped over at a famous local restaurant called Café Katarina, which is famous for their regional Filipino food and a view that overlooks both Rizal and Metro Manila, as well as a view of the windmills! Okay, now we’re on to the next stop. About an hour ride away from Brgy. Daraitan we found ourselves in one of the rising tourist spots here in Rizal. The Masungi Georeserve that was founded in1992, but was just opened for the public last 2015. Job well done for the 3M Team for booking us in advance! FYI, if you’re planning on going to the Georeserve for some spontaneous DIY trip, I don’t think you’re gonna get it that easily. A lot of my friends needed to book 2 months in advance just to secure a spot, and the 3M team got it in just weeks! Nifty huh. Well, we had so much fun (except for the fact that we were so close from falling off from the canopy of trees to the ground with spikey rocks, thank God we made it through!) and still want more of it! MASUNGI GEORESERVETo sum it all up, we trekked along the shores of Tinipak River, bathed in the zero visibility Tinipak Cave Pool and walked through the high-peaked wonders of the Masungi Georeserve. All of these things made possible by the comfort brought to us by 3MTM Automotive Tints throughout our trip. Truly, 3MTM Automotive Tints lives up to their dedication to #BeatTheHeat. You and your car deserve that comfort, and that is why #TintMatters! Thank you 3MTM Automotive Tints for taking us out for a break away from the hustle and bustle of the city! Till the next road trip series!
