In Manila again, will be going home this afternoon or probably tomorrow, it depends. I’m here for a business trip so it’s a nice feeling to have this responsibility. So far, I’m tired because the week has been a blur; but I’m glad to be able to see familiar faces since I last visited the … Read more
We initially planned on going to Paradise Island which was the beach resort where we always went out every weekend either with my mother or father's side during the good old days. However, there was a new resort near Paradise that my cousins still haven't tried out so we went to BlueJaz resort instead. Boat … Read more
After 10 effing' years, we were finally able to go back to the place where we grew up. So many changes have happened: our old house became a commercial building, cousins have grown up and the road has become smaller (or we just got bigger?); but things somehow are cheaper. hehe. Anyway, we didn't really … Read more
Late post: Had a field trip in our Hist15 class –> wow, field trip; so gradeschool.hehe Everything went fine actually. It didn’t rain so there wasn’t any problem with the weather. We were able to go to the planned places. I even got to mingle and talk to my classmates whom I just knew by … Read more
I’m steel peeling off from the sunburn I accumulated when we visited BlueJaz, a resort in Samal island, in Davao. Now my skin’s itching like crazy. ————– The day after I arrived home from Davao, aside from buying a new Walkman phone for my younger brother, I also bought some ingredients so I could make … Read more
Just arrived to Cebu from Davao. After 10 years, 10 effin' years, I was able to visit the place where I spent my childhood. Things have really become different, but in a good way. I used to hang out with my cousins a lot. But due to circumstance, there was always that big gap in … Read more
Last part of my Siquijor adventure. There were no jeepneys available so we habal-habaled our way back to the pier. But we dropped by their century-old Balete tree and Capilay Spring Park–>a natural spring converted into a swimming pool. We weren't able to go to Salagdoon Beach Resort because it was low-tide and the cliff … Read more
St. Isidore Labradore Church and Convent. It is known to be the largest Convent in the Asian region. We passed by this church in Lazi when we had to go to the terminal so we can get back to Siquijor before dark. I'm not really fond of taking pictures of churches but this one just caught my … Read more
After Catulayan in San Juan, we planned to go to Cambugahay Falls somewhere in the town of Lazi. We waited for awhile wishing that there were some jeepneys available that would bring us there as there weren't that many vehicles passing by. It's a good thing we were able to get one though. We dropped … Read more
December 28- 29, 2008 Catulayan in San Juan I was originally planning to go to Dumaguete alone and go somewhere cheap like Twin Lake or somewhere in Bais. But out of the blue, we decided to go to Siquijor instead. There were only a few trips from Dumaguete to Siquijor and the available schedule we … Read more
We were just looking for something to get busy on in order to kill the time for the boat arrive in the port of Dumaguete for Cebu when Robi, Mel and I went to Doctor Absin’s house which is full of Christmas decorations. Entrance costs 25 Pesos for adults and 15 for children, which is … Read more
Our Siquijor trip pushed through. We went to some places, not really toured everything. But it was a good backpacker’s trip. Ha, I call myself a backpacker. After Siquijor, we had a terrible trip back to dumaguete with the Delta fast craft. Stayed awhile in Dumaguete and met up with Mel and Robi to eat … Read more
From Dumaguete to Siquijor, we’re still planning it out. We have 5 hours to think if we’ll push through. Most likely we will, I just can’t say in final until I’ll have the tickets. I don’t know what to expect in Siquijor, but hopefully it will be good. The only available trip would be at … Read more
So it pushed through. I figured I better maximize the time I have outside work and school. It’s Christmas break and we also don’t have work on holidays so it’s a double-treat for me. I wanted to go out and explore or find some nature-tripping activity so I’m here again in Dumaguete. I’m in a … Read more
