Singapore Sojourn: a first timer’s Lion City experience
Despite Singapore being only 3.5 hours away from Manila, I never had the chance to visit it ever. Until last month. Arol invited me to come with her and a couple of her friends (Ray and Joyce). The Boracay trip with Erica did not push...
Hello from Singapore!
Just a quick post from the Lion City. I am in Singapore, for a short holiday with friends. It is my first time in this lovely country and I am enjoying every single minute (I am sure Citibank is, too). We’ve done nothing but eat...
Boracay on a budget: Travel via groupon!
Boracay is THE place to be when temperatures rise in the Philippines. The quintessential beach getaway has it all: clear blue waters, powdery white sand, great sun, fun water sports, hot nights and so much more. There is something for everybody in Boracay. If you...
Patapat Viaduct (Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte)
The Patapat Viaduct is a 1.3 km concrete winding bridge at the foot of the North Cordillera Mountain range and it connects the Ilocos Region to Cagayan Valley. Standing 31 meters above sea level, it affords a breathtaking view of Pasaleng Bay. It is often...
Kabigan Falls (Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte)
Our Pagudpud Northbound Tour begins with a visit to Kabigan Waterfalls, located in Barangay Balaoi. Now, the very last waterfall I visited was way back in 2005 in Sagada, Mountain Province. I remembered I had to trek for a good 30 minutes under the blazing...

Bangui Windmills (Bangui, Ilocos Norte)
From Burgos, we headed north to Bangui, home of the famous windmills. These giant “electric fans” can actually be seen from Saud Beach, and I was really excited to get up close and personal to them. The moment I stepped out of the tricycle, I...
Kapurpurawan Rock Formations (Burgos, Ilocos Norte)
Some 30 kilometers from Bangui, the town of Burgos cradles the majestic rock formations of Kapurpurawan. If you usually equate Philippine tourism with white sand beaches and swaying palm trees, think again. This is a different kind of white. And a different kind of beautiful....
Loving Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte!
I am lucky enough to find myself on the road a lot lately. After a quick trip to Baguio (which I haven’t blogged about yet), I was heading up north again to Pagudpud (this time with my one of my BFFs, Rein). In fact, the...

Surfing in La Union (or not quite)
La Union, how do I love thee? Let me count the waves… The moment we stepped foot in La Union, I instantly fell it love with it. And what’s not to love? The endless expanse of beach. The feel of the warm sand between my...

Yay! In my 10+ years of existence in the blogging world, this is the first time I’m having a guest blogger (hopefully, not the last) ^_^ My friend Jinbei is here to write about our recent trip up north. Read on to find out about...
