Here is where I brag/lament about the beauty/shortcomings of my beloved country, the Philippines
Batanes is not just a beautiful place. It is an experience that cannot be wholly captured in words or pictures alone. There were seven of us in the group, all were girls, and I only knew one person: Candy. She was my friend from way back in high school and…
If you’re like me and the most number of leaves you can take from work is two consecutive days, then plan your Cebu trip like how I did mine. Even with just three full days in Cebu, you will have plenty of time to have a jampacked vacation. Here’s how my…
Day 3: Bantayan Island Tour Our third day at Cebu started as early as the previous day. This time, we were off to the North to visit the famous Bantayan Island. I had heard and read lots of rave reviews about this island and I just had to visit it.…
Day 2: Oslob – Sumilon Island Tour Late to bed but still early to rise so we could catch the first bus to Oslob. Instead of going the cheaper way, we had to take a taxi to the South Bus Terminal because apparently, there were only a few jeepneys available…
The first time I went solo in my travels was when I went to Cebu last year. And the whole time I was there I kept thinking, “Oh, how I wish Moche could see this.” Now don’t get me wrong, I truly enjoyed my first stay there. But I also…
Approximately 250 north of Manila is that highland haven hailed both by locals and foreigners alike: Baguio City. The primary attraction comes from its cool-to-cold mountain climate which purportedly seldom exceeds 26 ºC. Another reason why we city dwellers are willing to brave the dizzying zigzagged roads to the Summer…
How time flies indeed. And to use another cliché, it seems only yesterday that I agreed into being a girlfriend and look now, we are already into our fourth year of togetherness. And what else should this type of feat deserve better than a day out of town, away from…
It all started with the Great Miles Getaway 2012 last February: I redeemed 10,000 miles to get this 50% off ticket, only to end up paying P9,018 for taxes and other fees. That was, of course, met with a lot of pain and heartache, seeing as to how unplanned that cost…
June 11-13, 2012 – Ilocos Norte, cradle of natural and man-made treasures way up north, was our destination last week. Together with two friends and Moche, I went back to Pagudpud, Laoag, Batac and Paoay to revisit places that I have already seen but will never grow tired of. Getting Ready…
Living in southern NCR automatically draws us to beaches further south and the nearest ones are in Batangas. And since this province is pretty well-known for its dive spots like Anilao, we have been pretty confident that anywhere in Batangas should be satisfactory. When we were younger, my mother used…
DAY 3 Happy birthday to me! ^__^ My plan from the previous night had been to wake up early, go to the Basilica Minore for my birthday mass, go back to the hotel and take a taxi to the airport. However, after taking my sweet time in reconsidering my options,…
DAY 2 (No) Thanks to my very comfy hotel, I overslept. Check out: 4D3N Cebu Itinerary, Budget and Travel Tips My plans of going to Shangri-la Mactan went up in smoke. I was supposed to get up at 7am, take a taxi to Shangri-la and have myself some beach time.…
DAY 1b After having lunch, it was already 1pm and I decided that it was already high time that I took a taxi to my hotel. I loved my hotel! Many thanks go to JSY on that score because she was the one who recommended that place to me. She…
I did it! I conquered Cebu. All by myself. It all started last year when we failed to go to Caramoan for my birthday. I decided that I will have my birthday trip this year, no matter what happened. And even if I had to do it alone. Check out:…
