here is the summary and my favorite pictures from my trip to the philippines this year.being away from home for such a long time developed a sense of nationalism in me. it made me proud of my country eventhough europeans barely knew about the philippines, a country which is detached from the rest o…

It was my nth time to visit this place. Every time I have visitors, chances are, I would be bringing them there. The thing is, photography especially with flash inside the museum is totally not allowed, another reality that I should live by. However, there is one way where photography is allowed, s…

We bid farewell to the resort staff and went on our way. Ahhh, another 5 hours of butt torture. We did pass by a store where one can buy local 'pasalubong' for our friends back home. After that, no more stops for us. On and on we drove, barely talking to each other, each lost in his own thought…

I have been wanting to go to the island of Corregidor long before Josh organized for TB to visit the island. I am just glad that I was with a great bunch of people from TB to do it.Corregidor is an island situated at the mouth of Manila Bay. Long before the GIs converted this island as their base, …

Rain, Lightning and Thunder ��" what a way to end our volcano visit J     Since it was late in the afternoon already and the sky had somewhat darkened - a sure signal that it might rain anytime, we decided to head back and descend the trail.   Rochelle, Dennie and I st…

In March 2008 I traveled for 18 days in the Philippines. I visited Makati, Manila, Coron (Palawan), Lemmery (Batangas) and Las Pinas City.

It has been over a month since I came back from Singapore and started working again in Manila. For more than a month, I have not been home despite that I am already in the Philippines. Then April 7, a national holiday came, this window gave me a chance to be home for atleast three days. It was real…

Mindanao Cities   (i've been updating this every now and then because of the current situation in Southern and Central Mindanao - thank you for bearing with me).   On a lighter note     I missed these cities so much. I haven’t been to Dipolog, Oroquieta and Ozamis for …

Manila TBs had a blast in our first meetup last January 03. But as they say, all great earthquakes come with equally intensified aftershocks. And so, the meetup deserved a sequel (due to insistent public and.... well, some private demands). It all started out as a plain night out of familiar TB ma…

January 3 marked the first ever Travbuddy Meetup in Manila, well, that is as far as we all know (if it isn't, make that first in 2008), attended by eight free-spirited travbuddies who all have one common denominator--- WE ARE ALL CRAZY FOR TRAVELS! After a series or postponements and two weeks…
