It helped largely that the sun was shining today, and I woke bright and early at 8am. So I made my way to Bacladod (need to get the right name of the place) to the market for a walk. I think I had my pockets pick-pocketed no less than 3-4 times, just as well I leave them empty! I would advise …

Name:  Charlea Clerese Miranda Nickname:  Clea Age:  2   Clea, 1st child of my good friends Pia & Mark, my grand niece too, paid me a visit.  With barely a week in the Metro, I vowed to show them around the most child-friendly places within the Metro. …

Yeah, I’m dedicating this first entry to Philippine’s budget airline, Cebu Pacific. No, I’m not really a HUUUGE fan of the airline because I have had bad experiences with them, but for its never-ending mind-blowing promos, getting around my beautiful country has never been easier and I love …

We landed in Manila... and had 7 hours for the conecting flight to Taipei, that was good coz i wanted finally to see Manila and Philippines. RJ was freaking out on my suggestion to have a ride to town and walk a bit and then come back to the plane. He wanted to stay all the 7 hours at the airport, …

Like most people traveling SE Asia I have been taking advantage to the cheap flights provided by Air Asia.  They did get me on my flight out of Manila though.  There is a international airport in town that the Filipino companies use but the international budget airlines use the Clarke…

After work, around 7pm, I went directly to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport for my 12mn Flight to Dubai, UAE. I am so pretty exited since this will be an Amazing trip given that the Itinerary is filled with fun and adventure. Anyways, to know more about it.. See all the pictures :)

After a hellish day in Bangkok all I wanted to do was get to Manila and be able to relax. I had to catch my flight from Bangkok to Manila at 12:05am and although it was delayed about 45 minutes I managed to meet another young backpacker going to Manila that helped the flight go by a little quicker.…

The plan was to wake up early, breakfast and try to explore Manila as much as possible. I woke up around 10 am instead. From the tiny window, I could see that it was raining. I went back to sleep. Woke up again later, it was still raining. 11: 00 am:  Still raining 11: 32 am: Still r…

....well, not exactly a luxury cruise.  I met 3 lovely ladies from the states who were also teaching English in Taiwan.  Together,  we boarded a rickety old wooden boat for a 2 night journey to Manila.  When you enter this boat, you have to step over the chickens, pigs…

  "Kindly leave your fire arms at the door before entering"   The sign greets an unsuspecting Canadian diner in Manila. I just want some food, see. A lot like Nicaragua, all this gun toting, except where, in Central America blue uniformed private-infantrymen-cum-security-guards stood …

It was just a 5-day short trip to Philippines, with 3 days in Boracay and 2 days in Manila. Boracay is a fantastic place, the long shoreline and the beaches, the sand is white, smooth and soft. You know, I think I can stay there for a month if allowed!

It was time to leave Cagayan de Oro for Manila. Admittedly, I wasn't satisfied with my first tourism management trip because some of our trip's itinerary weren't really followed. We missed the White Water Rafting which I have been waiting to do in Cagayan de Oro. Also, we weren't able to visit the …

From the photos that I had seen, I knew that the Philippines is a beautiful country I would enjoy visiting. But I never imagined that I would be going there for my wedding! This blog is about our wedding trip and honeymoon in the Philippines.
