Aim to Destroy

I have a small realization today. All my life I have put so much importance to creating. Always, I tell myself, create, create, create. And why shouldn’t I? We make music, write, paint, sketch, mold. At work, we create products, processes, presentations… In Capoeira, we create movements, combinations, new ways to converse using the body. I […]

Photodump: Colors of Mines View Park, Baguio City

That’s what the title says. This is all but a photodump of random things at Mines View Park – the tourist’s park-to-be in the Summer capital of the Philippines.

Olympic Point (Tingloy, Batangas): A Fresh View

I have written two reviews for Olympic Point Resort – one written during the peak of my hot bloodedness on our first day there, and another, perhaps more objective one on the second day. I’m afraid to post the former as it has blood all over it. I don’t want to be ungrateful for the […]

Bauang, La Union: Food Stories

This is but a very small part of a series of posts about my family’s trip to La Union in January 2012. I simply have to share some of the food we ate – it was a food-cation. We did nothing but eat, eat, eat. We were actually treated as visitors there.

The Other Side of Poro Point (La Union)

Having stayed at China Sea Beach Resort, there wasn’t really much to see or do (except perhaps bond and swim in the pool). Come to think of it now, it’s really odd why they even called it a beach resort… But anyway, walking at the sea wall in the first afternoon, two locals approached me […]

Sunset Ho! (China Sea Beach Resort, La Union)

Be warned: This post is full of our faces We found this pretty tree back in China Sea Beach Resort and figured we could do some photo-whoring beside it. And of course, as I’ve mentioned in my previous post, we just couldn’t resist taking photos of the (post) sunset.

A Family Trip to LU (China Sea Beach Resort, La Union)

“Did you go surfing in LU?” No, we didn’t go surfing in La Union. I was hoping to, but it so happens that the resort we went to wasn’t a surfing spot. It wasn’t even a beach spot – it’s one of those places foreigners and families go to for relaxation. Not so bad, considering […]

As March Closes

It is highly disconcerting that we’re already near the tip of March’s tail and I have not traveled one bit this summer. Pretty bad, considering my travel habits. Not that I haven’t been into any adventures in the past few weeks… Life was rather eventful, actually. As it always is. It already feels as if […]

Sleep or Die

I told my friend Jean today that I’m not so fond of sleeping. Well, yes, I do have a hard time waking up in the mornings, but in general, I would prefer to stay awake. She said I might die. She said there’s this one CEO who thought that sleeping was a “waste of time” […]

The Anti-Crap

All your life, have you ever felt as if you bet your whole arse on a lottery ticket and wondered why some unknown person from the other side of the universe won? Maybe you entrusted your soul to some lover who later on realizes he’d rather watch TV while scratching his belly? Maybe worse – […]
