Boracay Island Trip

Finally, I got to visit Boracay and experienced how to be a bum in this beautiful island! - December 2012

Beach Bumming at Station-2

With Mhilen and Micka

It was my first time to visit the place and unfortunately, I don't have any good quality camera to take high-resolution pictures so, all pictures here are from my phone and from tablet. Boracay is famous for its white fine sands and blue waters. To be honest, this place is much beautiful than Bali - beach wise. The small island is filled with lively people all out to have a good time.

Eary morning at the beach front...

You can find many sand art over the place made by the locals. Take a picture with it and just give donations.

Anyway, if you are looking for something that would be related to history or culture to see in this place like those in Bali, well, you have to forget it as this place is really just for hanging out and unwinding up.

You will notice that there are no person at my back. Kakauwe lang kasi nila! LOL

As a beach bum, I have to say that I like the island as it is lovely and just blue. Though there are a lot of people walking around, you can still feel relaxed. Maybe because people walking around are just relaxed too. :)

Willy's Rock Formation at Station-1

The island has three famous stations. Stations 1 to 3. Each station is different. Station 1 has the most expensive hotels and the sand is whiter and really fine. The second station I would say is the busiest. Here you can have your food trips and bar hopping. I would name it as the Entertainment Station. LOL! I have not gone to the third station but they say the sand in there is not as fine as the 2 stations. No idea how it look like. Hahaha!

You can find a lot of stores in Station-2 and Station-1.

By the way, if you are planning to visit Boracay, you have to try the night life here as this is what the island is also famous for.

I got to experience this but since I am not a fan of loud music, I just stay in a bar where there is just a man singing with a guitar. I got to try the Mojito and joined it with San Mig Light.

For my first time in Boracay, I can recommend it for people who just like to unwind and have a good time. It is a safe place for a vacation. I will definitely go back someday!

Indonesia: My First Adventure Abroad

For my first trip abroad, Indonesia was a cool and adventurous travel destination because it has much to offer to a traveler like me who loves to see natural beauty and well-preserved landscapes. -June 12-15, 2012 I got to meet different people of different religions and had a chance to discover rich culture. To get to know a different culture was a big experience for me. I regretted nothing. Every person I met is opened, kind and friendly. Soekarno-Hatta International Airport In Jakarta, I got a chance to meet in person two of my long-time twitter friends - Hengkie and Anggara. It’s been a year since I booked my ticket to Indonesia. With me was my best friend Jonah. Angga, Hengkie, Me and Jonah We toured the city and visited some of the national places in Central Jakarta. One of which was MoNas. Grand Indonesia After a day tour in its capital city, the next destination was Bali. Here, we got to meet Made, Irfan, and Muri - Jonah’s colleagues, who also...

Red Car and Me

My mother always tells me stories about my childhood whenever we have “bonding time” or may I say, every time we are together. She really knows everything about my childhood and she enjoys telling me those funny stories. We even laugh till we drop! But my childhood stories that momma tells are not always funny. So whenever I have questions like “San ko nakuha ang peklat na to ma?” “Ano nangyari sa akin noong ganito ganyan?” I ask her and tada!!!! Kwentuhan na naman! Sometimes, it can make me realize things and understand why I am this way now. Those stories even though sad make me smile just remembering it happened to me. I hate crying so whenever I know momma is about to cry, I crank jokes and make her laugh. Those mementos are not to make us sad but happy. That is what I believe. One of those stories which I cannot consider sad nor happy but … I don’t know, is the one which took place when I was about to turn eight. It was so remarkable in my life. I witnessed how much...

The Grill by Antonio's Tagaytay

Tagaytay has been a place where our peer usually hang out since 2009. Aside from being easily accessible from the Manila, its mild climate and dramatic scenery, this place has a lot to offer for foodies like us. For foodies, there are many must-try restaurants located around the place. One of which is the The Grill by Antonio's. Last July 4, I got a chance to dine here. Planned a week before, assuming that it would be a holiday since I am working on a project that is US-based, I immediately confirmed that I would be joining them and paid my part for the hotel. And to my surprise, it was not a nonworking holiday for me. So, I had no choice. I had to work that evening even if I was on a trip. WFH as they normally say... Work From Hotel! LOL So going back to Antonio's Grill, we arrived at around 2PM in Tagaytay. We head straight to The Grill to have our late lunch. First thing I noticed is the place. It looks so cozy and similar to an American Craftsman style. Combinat...
