There was not much to write about my first trip to Tuguegarao in October last year. Maybe because we had a full schedule ahead so there was not enough time for some serious sigh-seeing. So when I was back there last Monday (again, for work) I was kinda hoping there would be an opportunity to see the tourist spots in the region. We were able to visit Cauayan and Bayombong ...

A Sweet Stay at The Bellevue
AJ and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary by spending a night at The Bellevue Manila in Alabang. We chose this place because of its location (the hotel is at the heart at the premier city in the South and is very near the mall area) and of the good feedbacks we've read online. It also helped that they have a promo right now (good until June 30 only!), and we ... READ MORE
More on Cebu City…
I was doing a back-up of my picture folders the other day, and saw these Cebu pics that I haven't shared with you yet. You really could tour the city in one whole day! Here are more of the places that we went to see in Cebu City: Magellan's Cross. Sto. Nino Church or Basilica Minore del Santo Nino (just beside Magellan's Cross). This is where you will find the ...

Fort San Pedro
Fort San Pedro is to Cebu as Fort Santiago is to Manila. It was built in 1738 and served mainly as a military defense structure, first by the Spaniards against Muslim raiders, and later by the Filipino revolutionaries against their Spanish conquerors. At present, Fort San Pedro is being maintained as a historical park, while part of it has been turned into a museum with ... READ MORE
Cebu’s Taoist Temple
The Taoist Temple in Cebu City is easily one of the places that you will love to take pictures of - with its colorful temples, structures and oriental figurines that clearly showcase the best in Chinese architecture. It's actually not just one temple (as its name suggests), but a number of temples nestled inside a wealthy subdivision named Beverly Hills. It is the center of ... READ MORE
A Very Old House in Cebu
Despite being a highly urbanized city, Cebu City nurtures one of the oldest ancestral homes in the Philippines, and perhaps the oldest Chinese home outside China. AJ and I were able to visit this quiant ancestral house last Easter Sunday and, being the only visitors at that time, it felt more like a private tour! Welcome to the Yap-San Diego Ancestral House/Museum. You ... READ MORE
A Weekend at Laoag
Sorry for the blog hiatus. I was at Laoag last weekend for work and I'm glad we managed to have some R&R there as well. There's just so much to see! AJ and I were there last December but it was in my second visit that I was able to see the town of Sarrat and stayed at Fort Ilocandia Resort Hotel. Fort Ilocandia Resort really has a very pretty landscape that is ... READ MORE
Dream Native Resort, Bohol
This was the resort hotel we stayed at in Bohol for 1 night. My brother booked it for all of us. It was very price-y in my standards (around P7,000 per night), but since our travel coincided with the peak season, I didn't mind that at first. We were served welcome drinks of artificially-flavored juices. The owner was Italian I think, judging from his books displayed at the ... READ MORE
