It is ridiculous to say that my travels from Singapore to Alona Beach in the Philippines were the most difficult of my trip because I have had many difficult travels troughout my year but this one does stand out in my mind.  I left Singapore at 3:00 pm and took five buses, three taxis, two fli…

After the much-needed "power" nap, we were all feeling recharged. Our hosts invited us for an Ilocano breakfast that they cooked for us. We were all as delighted as we can be to see various Ilocano foods which we can only eat at some specialty restaurants in Manila. Bagnet (deep fried n…

We made history on October 18, 2009, as more than 10,000 people flocked to the McArthur Landing Memorial Park for TAGAY - the world’s largest  wine-tasting for a cause. At 3:30 pm, a total of 7,187 officially registered participants huddled around tabl…

Population: 90,000 There are things you can do in this island, aside from swimming, diving, snorkeling and relaxing.

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 …

I went to Baguio with 3 of my college friends for the flower festival. It was supposed to be a trip for the flower festival alone but we decided to continue our adventure to a very remote area in the Mountain Province where Philippine's largest cave is situated. We traveled more than 10 mountains in less than 3 days with a Toyota Revo (I can't imagine how the car survived our trip!) LOL!

Well we finally got here, the rain stopped just enough to get us to Manila. We are staying in Makati (the nicer area) this time and treating ourselves to nice accommodation. Went out last night with Mimmy and Miles for food and a few drinks....was great to see Mim. Now we are wasting time before ou…

My folks and my brothers drove me to NAIA to see me off then when I got there, they waited for me outside while I checked in my baggage and paid for damn airport taxes. Well, I only got my backpack, a huge laptop bag and big box of Krispy Kreme for my cousins so I could manage. Although at that poi…

As early as Jan, my cousins and i booked our flights to & from Busuanga via Cebu Pacific, 9am ETD. Other airlines with cheaper flight rates were already fully booked on the dates we scheduled for this trip. Really need to plan way way ahead if one is on a budget trip. Being a "lakwachera" mysel…
