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...

Food fest at Lucban’s Pahiyas
Without a doubt, the Pahiyas festival is a grand visual treat for locals and visitors alike. But for me, it is also an unforgettable gustatory experience. Let me enumerate a few examples: Longganisa – I don’t have to elaborate how much I love Lucban longanisa. I know I...
Kiping together: From Ground to Great
The Pahiyas Festival will not be complete without the kiping – colorful leaf-shaped sheets made of ground rice used as decoration. How are these ubiquitous decorations made? It is a very laborious and time-consuming process. Because of this, kiping is made months ahead of the...
CHAYA Restaurant: A Japanese gem in breezy Baguio
During a recent trip to Baguio, Japinoy.com moderator and my pseudo little sister Lara-chan introduced me to other Japinoy.com members living up there. I finally got to meet one of our forum artists LJ, as well as Michi and Juliet. They were nice enough to...
Viva Vigan: Calle Mena Crisologo
At the mention of Vigan, one can easily imagine himself riding on a calesa, passing along a cobblestone street lined with perfectly preserved ancestral homes. Vigan is a lot of things, but at the heart of it is Calle Mena Crisologo, a half-kilometer long street designated a UNESCO...
Bon Odori at the Manila Japanese School
This post is….STALE! 😀 I have perfectly good excuses (yes, plural) but I won’t enumerate them all 😛 Anyway, the 11th Bon Odori Festival was held at the Manila Japanese School on March 6. It is a big event participated in by the local Japanese...
Viva Vigan: Crisologo Museum
For this disgruntled Manila ‘native’, Vigan is just a sight to behold – beautiful old houses, clean streets, majestic churches, idyllic lifestyle. So you can just imagine our excitement to explore the place as soon as we jumped off that bus. Of course we had...
