I just received an email today from an American friend whom I met in Bora. Attached were several photos taken of the passengers who were in the last delayed flight to Caticlan that day and I think this is the reason why we mingled when we were in Bora.It was really fun meeting them. We shared travel stories and insights about the places we've been to. I think if you are more exposed to different

Thanks to TyphoonFrank who just visited the archipelago leaving Boracay a dirty white sandy beach island.I never thought the rumor was true when I was there. The sandstorm was tough and the waves were strong. Strong enough for a beginner surfer.My flight was delayed and it was already dusk when we arrived in the tiny island paradise. We were starving and we ate like a pig (PG) in one of the

I will be in Bora in the next few hours.I can still remember my first time in Bora 4 years ago. It was Holy Week and the whole Island seems to drown with the load of tourists on that week.There were a lot of freebies along the beach, hot bodies, endless parties, and bottomless booze.We were in a very tight budget at that time and I do hope that this time around I can get my first Bora Braids and

MV Princess of the Stars sunk last Sunday, June 22, 2008, in Sibuyan Sea. The passenger ferry was loaded with more than 800 passengers and crews and until now divers are still looking for survivors and missing persons.The ferry capsized because it could no longer endure Typhoon Fengshen's wrath(locally named as Typhoon Frank). Due to heavy winds and rain, the ship could no longer hold against its

Bohol's countryside has actually more to offer than just pristine beaches and dolphin watching. The main feature of Bohol is not their beaches, but the world famous Chocolate Hills, a one of a kind geological landscape, and the previously smallest primate in the world, the tarsier.On our 4th day in Bohol, we went road tripping, the commuters way. It was fun and, at the same time, tiring. We road

How's that?Yes, we were under superpowers before, Spain, US, and Japan, but we considered this day as the day when we got our freedom after 300 years of Spanish control.I hope that we can experience the freedom that we want today.1.

During our island tour, we have experienced to watch the Dolphins swimming in the sea upclose and feeding the fishes in the marine sanctuary in Balicasag Island. Oh yes, I have seen dolphins in the sea numerous times during my sea trips but not as close as what a rigged boat can give. To my excitement, I can't help but to exclaim "WOW".

At first glance, Alona Beach is like mini Boracay... the long stretchy coral beach and the side-by-side resorts and restaurants...Though the main difference is that Bora has the paraws while Panglao has the white boats scattering in the whole beach front...Honestly speaking, don't expect much that its sand is as fine and as white as Bora's. Nevertheless, this is still a fine beach getaway which

Last Friday, our company has decided to throw a Flower Party at Warehouse 135. This is the 1st major event in our company this year. Unlike the previous year, we have quarterly bar parties and 2 out of town trips. I was expecting a fun day outside the Metro, but sad to say, there is an ongoing curtailing of unnecessary expenses.Anyways, the motif itself is kinda baduy. I'm sorry to say this. It

"Itay" means father in tagalog. He has never been a father figure though but he is a funny friend and a manager. He was my former department manager when I was still a budding employee of our classified company. I remember one time, he said to me that I am "childish, sarcastic, yet funny" :). Which I strongly admit...I'm just a girl having fun...Now, after 2 years of working here in Philippines,

The second Sunday of May is the time to celebrate Mom’s love with flowers, gifts, greetings, and most especially, hugs and kisses.
