Desperate to have a cold shower and shrug all the worries I got from the travel that started in Cebu, I managed to proceed to Dambana ng Kagitingan in Mt. Samat even though I passed by Plaza Mayor de Ciudad de Balanga where The Plaza Hotel is located. When I arrived in Balanga City from…
Believe it or not, since I started working in Cebu City last June 2014, it was my first time to visit Cebu Taoist Temple. What’s weird was that I found it to be within walking distance from our apartment. A day before Chinese New Year, I was planning to do grocery on a Sunday morning and decided…
The idea of this post came from the shitty experience of Mace in the Filipino movie ‘That Thing Called Tadhana’ when she and Anthony ended up in a random karaoke house belting Whitney Houston’s Where Do Broken Hearts Go. I’m a member of this very cooperative group in Facebook with travelers doing do-it-yourself travels and…

Twenty-thirteen turned out to be a great year of travels because I planned for it. It was my benchmark for 2014 yet I wasn’t able to surpass the standards I set. I’ve visited 22 provinces last year but only 10 new provinces were added this year, not even half. Nonetheless, this year is another terrific…
The sun was peeking out in a small gap of the window curtains as I got out of bed. Weather was fine that day after a heavy rain that engulfed the whole city the other night. It was my last day on that Baguio City trip and I have nothing in mind to do for…
Based on a story of a relative who stayed in Baguio for a long time, a house along Leonard Wood is being tagged to be haunted. I’ve seen this for a quite number of times but didn’t bother to pay a visit. The previous time I was in the city, I planned to see the…
