We went to Bennigan’s restaurant in The Dubai Mall one evening as we were scouting for places to eat before movie time. I first learned about this restaurant when I was browsing through our Entertainer Dubai book – this is a book filled with coupons from various hotels, restaurants, theme parks, and establishments. What better way … Read more

Cebu: Afternoon in Basdako White Beach, Moalboal

After Kawasan Falls,  we went back to the main road in order to hail a bus. We were to find a place to eat in the town proper as it was already lunch time. We would be heading to another tourist place in Badian for an afternoon hangout session in Basdako (White Beach), Moalboal.

Bali, Indonesia: Getting Photographed in Kuta Beach

It’s been a year since we’ve been to the island of Bali, Indonesia. Up to now, I still haven’t completed my blog series about the trip. Not sure if I’ll be writing about it sometime soon though. Still, let me let me share a few pictures taken by Efraim, budding Indonesian photographer.

Cebu: Revisiting Kawasan Falls

From the Sunday morning market in Mantalongon, Dalaguete, we were able to hire two motorbikes (habal-habal) to Kawasan Falls in Badian. It’s faster than having to ride back to the Dalaguete intersection and wait for a bus. We tried to haggle, but we still paid around 150 Php per person for the motorbike ride.

Kawasan Falls in Cebu

It was an off-road motor adventure and it was dangerous considering that some areas are not yet paved. But the view, I tell you, is just refreshing! Even if it drizzled for awhile, the beautiful landscape made me forget about getting wet from the rain.

Cebu: Mantolongon Sunday Morning Market

Waking up in the morning at the barangay hall in Mantalongon, Cebu, we hurriedly took our turns in the bathroom to fix ourselves. Even if I was a little tired from the trek to Osmena Peak, I still had a good night’s sleep especially when I didn’t have to pay much (50 Php) for a sleeping bunk.  hehe.

Osmeña Peak Cebu: Descending in the Dark Night

It was already cold to be standing on top of the Osmena Peak in Cebu. Waiting for the sun to set became a little uncomfortable because the temperature became cooler. Good thing I brought a jacket. It was also great that we still had some leftover bread so we could fill our stomachs with food … Read more

Cruise Holidays: A World of Choice

When you’re planning a cruise holiday, there are so many things to take into consideration. Perhaps the most important is destination, and which soul-stirring places you’d like to tick off your must-see list. Do you want to explore the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, the Nordic Fjords or the Iberian Sea? Beyond that, which cities have you been hankering after – perhaps the sizzling Mediterranean sights of Barcelona and Palma, or the far-flung must-sees of Sydney and Hong Kong Harbour?

On a cruise holiday you’ll also need to consider how long you want to be away for. Opt for a mini or a taster cruise if you just fancy a quick jaunt and a fun-filled few days away. Most mini cruises are just two or three nights long – perfect for first-timers – while others are slightly longer, perhaps four or five nights. It’s ideal if you’re trying to squeeze in a short, action-packed break without breaking the bank!
