I’m sorry for the long break – it has exactly been a week since my last post. I attended a wedding of a friend in Boracay last week, so that disrupted my blogging schedule. It was a lovely wedding by the beach – and I got to meet up with old friends. We had a […]
I have been to Boracay several times, and it’s always been the White Beach area from Station 2 to Station 1. This time, I ended up on the other side of Boracay because I was looking for a cheap place to stay in for a night. And I think I just found a treasure. In […]
Looking for the next tourist attraction in Cebu? This “Greek/Roman” temple sitting atop Busay is not yet fully complete, but a lot of people are already visiting for its “instagrammability” and that overlooking view of the Queen City. This temple is a man’s tribute to his late wife, very much similar to how India’s Taj Mahal […]
I am seriously not a religious person, and the last time I went through the Stations of the Cross for holy week was probably more than 20 years ago. When I go home to Cebu for the Holy Week, we usually just stay at home and eat binignit, or biko – but we don’t really […]
It was just a few years ago when these gentle giants were spotted near the shores of Oslob, Cebu. Back then, you had to visit Donsol in Sorsogon to see the whale sharks and swim with them. Locally called as Butanding, these whale sharks feed on uyop (baby shrimp or something that looks like it) and […]
One should not be a tourist in his own country. And more importantly, one has to learn of the people who have lived their lives and died fighting for our country’s freedom. Our next stop is the Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery. Laguna is one of the first 8 provinces that revolted against Spanish rule and has […]
On our first day, we left Makati quite later than scheduled so we skipped out some of the items in our itinerary (e.g., Rizal Shrine in Calamba). The weather wasn’t looking too good – it was cloudy and the sun was nowhere to be found. Odd when we were taking the Viaje del Sol or […]
Over the weekend, the 4AM Club went for a road trip around Laguna/Quezon area. It’s a pretty well known route called Viaje del Sol, but we modified it a bit to fit our schedule. I will delve into the details of the different spots/places we visited, but for now, I wanted to share with you […]
A chance to go to the beach came and I had to grab it! Gil and his F1 friends were planning for a day trip to Virgin Beach in Laiya, and extended the invite to us. The last time I’ve been to Laiya was September of last year – the same time Pacquiao had a […]
Last Tuesday was declared a holiday, so Debbie invited us for a tour around her alma mater, the University of the Philippines – Los Baños (UPLB) in Laguna. Our plan was to tour the campus area and have a nice picnic. It rained when we got there but luckily, it stopped just in time for […]
