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
Exploring Bohol
We spent only 1 full day and 1 full night in Bohol (not including the travel time to and from Cebu), but still we were able see most of what the island province has to offer. The secret to doing that is to manage your time properly and to plan your itineraries well. The latter is very important because most tourist destinations in Bohol are located at different towns so try ... READ MORE
Bohol Bee Farm
I've read a lot of good feedback about the organic food at Bohol Bee Farm, and nothing much about the "bee farm" itself hehe! But that's okay, I don't think I'll enjoy the farm tour too because by the time we got there it's past lunch and we're hungry so all we could think of was food! Without much ado, let me show you what we had and my usual satisfaction rating (with 5 ... READ MORE
Goodnight Cebu, Hello Bohol
AJ and I chose to have night flight out from Manila to Cebu last Thursday because of the long lenten break and we wanted to avoid the traffic and the long line at the airport. There was no traffic or line at the airport at all. NAIA Terminal 2 looked almost deserted with very few people waiting for their flights. We traveled light. I always bring a book with ... READ MORE
10 Things I miss about Cebu/Bohol
Happy Easter, everyone! I hope you all had a nice and meaningful lenten break last week. AJ and I got back from Cebu yesterday and it's only now that we are feeling the exhaustion from all the traveling that we did while in Cebu and Bohol. So I took a day off from work today to rest and recharge for longer office hours that I will be having starting this week - what ... READ MORE
Off to the Pearl of the South
AJ and I will fly off to Cebu later to spend the Holy Week there. I've finished packing this morning. I love, love my colorful Cath Kidston bags! The bag stroller was bought at the Landmark for just P350.00. Why didn't I thought of this before? Now we don't have to worry about carrying the travel bag (I realized how physically taxing it was when I brought it with me ... READ MORE
Bag of Beans
We celebrated my dad's 65th birthday last Monday at Tagaytay City. We left Manila at around 9:00 a.m. and was there just before lunch time. After taking a short tour of People's Park, we headed off to Bag of Beans for a late lunch (side story: we were supposed to eat at ViewPoint but could not find it so we ended up here). This is not the first time I've been to Bag ... READ MORE
