The journey I think is more than 8 hours from Manila contrary to what the video indicated or maybe I was just a sissy/naggy on the way there that’s why I felt like it was longer. It’s at the northern part of the main island of Luzon and getting there is not an easy task. … Continue reading »

Day 107 of 363 blog post challenge: Choose Philippines. Choose Siquijor.
Do I need to say more after that video? I haven’t been to Siquijor personally but an American friend of mine living in Cebu has been going to that island for the longest time for diving. I heard their beaches are very nice too. Continue reading »
Day 100 of 363 blog post challenge: Choose Philippines: Choose Taal.
Having a very close proximity of our town to this place, it’s a favorite weekend destination of my family and friends. We usually go there for relaxation, stuffing our face silly with delectable Filipino cuisine and admiring the view of the Taal volcano in the middle of Taal lake at the veranda of Starbucks perched … Continue reading »
Day 94 of 363 blog post challenge: Choose Philippines, Choose Davao
Sans the cheesy and very corny jingle (seriously DOT, you can’t create something better than that?), isn’t the place great? Did it make you want to pack your bags and go to Davao like right about now? Because it had that effect on me. I haven’t been to Davao yet (shame on me!) and I … Continue reading »
Day 87 of 363 blog post challenge: Choose Philippines, Choose Boracay
Boracay is, hands down, the most beautiful beach I’ve ever been to. The boyfriend who is clearly not a Filipino and has no reason at all to be biased (he hates Manila as much as I do) told me while we were in Phi Phi island in Thailand that Boracay is still much better than … Continue reading »

The island, politically a part of the Province of Cebu, is about 7 … Continue reading »

Day 59 of 363 blog post challenge: Choose Philippines, Amanpulo
I totally forgot about the Thursday daily post that I’ve been doing for this year: 7100 Islands in the Philippines (see? I told you I have an attention span of a 2-yr old), showcasing the beauty of my country. You see, I’m not really a die-hard fan of my own country (what with all the … Continue reading »
Day 31 of 363 blog post challenge: 7100 islands in the Philippines, which one is this?
This place is getting too much hype these days as some people disagrees that it deserves to be included in the New 7 Wonders of the World. Well, included or not – for me, you should definitely see it as I have never seen anything like it before. The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park … Continue reading »
