The First Foursquare Badge in the Philippines

I don’t usually post stories of things that are to come (I am more likely to write about thoughts and experiences than anything) but I am too excited for this to not share it: all ye social media addicts and adventurers out there, the Philippines is finally getting its first country-made badge on Foursquare. During […]

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.

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 […]

Summer is a Feeling

Summer is not a season, it’s a feeling. A moment, a love, a dream, a laugh, a kiss, a cry, our rights, our wrongs.

Biking for Non-Bikers (Camayan Beach Resort, Subic Bay)

I find biking to be very relaxing. When I was younger, I used to bike with my sisters and cousins around the village a lot. It’s the kind of thing we do every afternoon (always with someone watching us though). My sisters and I are home-ish kinds of girls; mommy would say we can only […]
