I’ve been sitting in the resort bar for an hour now. I like the view of the sea from here. Later I’ll be watching the sun set in front of me, but right now I’m just enjoying the cool afternoon breeze. This exact same moment will happen only once, ever. So I’m enjoying it as […]
This is it, we said, after the last stop. We were wrong though. Apparently, the last stop was just sort of the beginning of another segment of the journey.
More than the beginning and the end, for me, what’s most important is what happens in between. And this is what happened in between. We get down our 4×4 truck after that bumpy ride, and the beginning of the trail greeted us with a warm reminder to watch our steps. This is what I wore: comfy shorts, […]
They say there are two types of travellers – those who travel for the journey and those who do so for the destination. Although I may be a little bit of both, I’d say I’m a journey person more than anything. The visit to Mt. Pinatubo was my first official trek ever (I went up […]
I’ve been going to Tagaytay for two weekends in a row this year. The last one was a day trip for that Taal trek, which I talked about here and here. The week before that was to celebrate two occasions — a birthday and a wedding proposal. Lots of Tagaytay discoveries in that trip too, but I […]
Warning: contains me and my family and lots of touristy photos We actually went up Taal because my cousin Joie (in brown shirt) is an avid hiker in Portland. This is baby stuff for her, so I’m looking for a level 2 place to go to this weekend. Open for suggestions! It also happens that […]
If you’re from Manila like me, you’ve probably been to Tagaytay a hundred times. This also means you’ve probably seen Taal from afar at least once in your life – I mean, how could you miss that? We book in hotels and dine in restaurants overlooking the volcano. We’ve seen the thing so many times that […]
I got the invite through Facebook, and then later on through a BBM by a good friend who also happens to be the sister of AB Paredes. It was a Saturday night and I was supposed to sleep early for our supposed early morning trek (watch out for that post), but this was pretty interesting. […]
I’m not one to share another’s work in this space, but with the rate that I am obsessing with the works of Katrina Pallon lately, I just couldn’t stop myself. I came across her 365 project when she tweeted one of her first few works for 2012. It was love at first sight. Ayayay. So when […]
