I’m going to start off my series of Japan Travel posts with some essential Japanese phrases that would be good for you to know (and hopefully use), when you are traveling to Japan. I am not an expert in Japanese, but I have on-and-off studied Japanese formally and by myself since high school (more self […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
After getting lost in the long and winding road of Makiling to get to St. Marc’s Chapel, we were starving! Debbie took us to this quaint Thai restaurant just outside the main gate of UPLB. It’s a small and humble place to be considered a “restaurant”, but the food is way better than most Thai restaurants […]
Agnes invited the Bisdak gang over to her hometown at Bukidnon for a weekend getaway last July 25-29. The moment she told us about it, we booked tickets the next day. That’s how excited we were. It was a chance to visit a place I’ve never been to before, and escape, albeit for just a […]
Summer’s already here! To kick it off, my friends and I headed north to the wavy shores of San Narciso, Zambales. It was a last minute decision and we were lucky that Crystal Beach resort had one small hut for us! We left Makati at 12:30 and stopped by my favorite restaurant in Subic for […]
My friends and I went to this year’s Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark, Pampanga. Last year, I went to see the Hot Air Balloons with my family when they visited from Cebu. We left Makati at around 2 in the morning and arrived in Clark at around 4AM. We had to walk a long […]
I have been to Baguio twice before this most recent visit – however, I’ve never really gone on a food trip around the city. Because we had North with us, we were able to go around anywhere we wanted to go. And thanks to Foursquare, we were able to check out some of the city’s […]
After what seemed to be one of the most STRESSFUL weeks at work, me and a couple of Bisaya friends escaped to the country's summer capital (although it's not summer) for a change of environment. This was my third time in Baguio – and I really thought I've seen more or less everything that the […]
