Dingalan Aurora Escapade: Batanes Of The East

We always knew that whenever we hear the province of Aurora, we automatically remember its famous surf spot, Baler. Last April 23, we get the chance to venture one of Aurora's unexplored wonders, Dingalan -- which was now termed as "Batanes of the East".

Discover Paradise: Balite Falls Amadeo Cavite

Planning to go on a nature trip near Manila? Here's one of the ideas you were looking for! Just a few hours drive away from Manila, you might want to visit this hidden gem situated in the town of Amadeo in Cavite.

Visiting Kamay Ni Hesus

It was a spontaneous trip, nonetheless. But it's something worth while, because visiting the Quezon Province is not something me and my family do most of the time. I've personally been to Lucban once since 2000's.

Cycling Diary: Crossing Carmona River

A typical day to do some early morning ride and exercise. We decided to push through one route that'll lead us directly (shortcut) to Nuvali.

BUT

With some extremes using our beloved rides. And we did.

THUG LIFE

Solo Ride to Marcos Mansion

I decided to fulfill one of my solo dream rides -- which would lead me to the well-famed and hidden Marcos Mansion in Canlubang, Laguna. It was a solo trip and would take me at least a half day's ride to and from the Mansion.

Cycling X Paragliding

As I returned to cycling, I want to share one ride that made me aware of a place not known to most of us. A place where we can ride a trail and stop by to watch people doing Paragliding.

En Route To Singapore Part I

"The self-imposed travel ban for me this 2015 to focus on myself." did not happen.

Bato Springs: Summer Heat On Cold Waters

It was never planned, really. We happen to visit the city of San Pablo in Laguna only to personally deliver the wedding invitations prepared by now couple.

Discover Paradise 2: Camotes Island Cebu

I thought it was my last "hurrah", but not yet.

Tickets to Camotes. Yay!

It was a surprise back-to-the-province kind of day when my family decided to bring me back to our hometown, Cebu. I was caught off-guard since I don't have the right budget to travel with them. Lucky for me, they managed to book me a flight MNL-Cebu v.v. I told my girlfriend about the trip, and she's willing to pay for her fare and the rest of the expenditures will fall under me. So she came with us. (wee!)

Discover Paradise: Burot Beach

Last "hurrah" for summer 2014 - a perfect venue for friends, acquaintances, family, relatives, etc., 

BUROT BEACH.

Listed as one of Luzon's unspoiled beach, Burot promises travelers a "virgin" beach where there is no electricity and overflowing potable water, a secluded beach where most people who wanted total relaxation near Manila is palpable.

Located in the southwest of Luzon, Calatagan is almost 2-3 hours travel time from Manila. Passing by Tagaytay's cold weather, it's a perfect roadtrip for everyone.

Conquering Cagayan De Oro

It was a typical day great for an extreme adventure -- Luzon is partly drought by rains -- while Mindanao is scorching hot. Though the environment seems to defer the heat and pushes us (my college friends) to go on an extreme adventure taking advantage of the best weather there is.

And so the day comes.

The Queen City of the South

Taking a quick break and reflection is the ultimate purpose of my short span vacation in Cebu City. Although I survived a tough February work, I still need to get my myself back in to my both feet.

After a quick struggle because of my indecision's, I finally managed to realize that I really wanted to become a travel blogger (in some way). It was just, the fact of the matter is, each and every travel needs a lot of money. Although I've been arranging some of my travels in a tight budget, I just can't decide where and when should I be traveling, and how I can manage my time from work & travel.

The Baguio Expedition 2013

        I remember when I was a kid, there comes a time that our family comes in and out of Baguio City, maybe we can say that, once a year we go back to Baguio especially in the month of February, to come and celebrate at their annual Panagbenga Festival (also known as Flower Festival).

Best of 2012: Oriental Legazpi trip

It was indeed one of the most unforgettable work trips I've ever done..

Corregidor trip: A Stronghold of Philippine History

CORREGIDOR ISLAND, Philippines - And so, I've finally set foot in one of the very best places where Philippine history is once molded - a place where lots of historical events and heroes emerged. These are just some of the things when I personally landed into the place where General Douglas McArthur once reigned as a hero for the Philippines in spite of the deadly battles and colonized by his fellow Americans, and held battle together with the Filipinos against the Japanese invasion.
