It was my first time to have a trip with virtual friends and I never thought it would be so much fun!

I was inside the train when my mobile phone beeped. It was a message from Ted saying he was already in our meeting place. Wow, he was early... to think that I only harassed him to join me and Deats for the planned "all boys night out" ( that's why Jenneth DID NOT join us =D ). The schedule w…

March 21, Day 2 of our trip. We woke up at 6AM as we have arranged an 8AM trip with the boat operator. Yes, we allocated the whole day to be spent with just the waters of Cebu. We wanted to do nothing else but ISLAND HOPPING! The boat operator was already waiting at our meeting area when we arriv…

I love early morning flights because I usually can't sleep at night on the eve of my trips. This was no different. I woke up at 4AM to get ready for an hour plane ride to Dumaguete City (Our flight was at 7AM). I have wanted to go this place for a long time, not really knowing what it offers. I hea…

We came in the early morning from Shanghai to Manila, just to catch here another flight to Taipei. We had only 7 hours between flights, so it was obvious we had to get out of the airport (which is the coldest one i guess, coz the aircon settings create the climate inside the terminal 3 on the Antar…

I have first heard of Caleruega from a friend here on TravBuddy, profile name aoisoba :) because she told me that wants to go there on one of her trips back to the Philippines..  I never knew the place existed before then.  This weekend, as my friends and I were having a late ce…

As much as I want to write a lot of things about the recent travbuddy meetup that I attended back in the Philippines last February 7, I think the blogs written by Josh (the_bloodsucker) and Sarj (kickasstunner) will surely be way more comprehensive than mine so I figured it's better …

Indonesian citizenship is eligible for a VISA WAIVER to visit Guam for less than 15 days. For that reason, my Palauan friend, who I went to visit made a plan for my trip to Guam a couple months before. We communicated with U.S. Immigration in Guam and Philippine Airlines (PR) to sort out VISA and M…

I had quite a tight week at work on the last week of November 2007, but luckily towards the weekend, everything slowly loosened up and I was able to find time to do some of the things I wasn't able to accomplish. One of them was the meet-up with travbuddies Josh(The_bloosucker),…
