Puerto Princesa City Tour and Night Walk
We arrived in Puerto Princesa around lunch time on a Saturday. I was not able to make a clear to-do list once we set foot on the place so we just let things fall to its place. Of course, the first thing we did was to settle on our accommodation. We paid 50PHP...
Escape to the Last Frontier: Where to Stay in Puerto Princesa
The biggest turn-off when it comes to going out of town, aside from the airfare, is the accommodation. Sure, most figures may come out as "just okay" but when you add it up to three or even more days, you'd be surprised at how much the amount could burn a hole in your...
Top Places for Food Tripping in Puerto Princesa Palawan
So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being. ~Franz Kafka I have never really been a big fan of new tastes mostly because I am a picky eater and do not have that much skill in the kitchen. I was scared for the most part but...
Sinulog 2014: Our First Mardi Gras!
It's true. I haven't really been out for the past Sinulog celebrations in my entire lifetime. Being able to go out at my own pace (not really) and to wherever without having to ask permission from my parents is a big first for me this year. Of course, the big...

Throwback: The Great Bohol Adventure Part 4
While Bohol has been declared under state of calamity since Tuesday, being the epicenter of a 7.2-magnitude quake, let me just share the last of the Great Bohol Adventure Series. It's really heartbreaking to look at pictures of the places that you have once visited to...
Throwback: The Great Bohol Adventure Part 3
With the help of a friend (who was also with us), we were able to rent a van to get us around for the entire day.Hinagdanan Cave Our first stop was in Hinagdanan Cave, located in Dauis, Bohol. The place reeked a bit of bat pee (hope it wasn't of humans haha) and I...
Traveling Daydreams
The power behind living a dream lies in either believing it's a dream or knowing it's not. ~Richelle E. Goodrich "Mom, Dad, which way do we go next?" my daughter finally broke the silence. We have stopped in front of a fork road for a full three minutes now. "Hmm..."...
