Yesterday was a very enriching experience for me. It’s my first time to trek and see Taal Volcano’s crater. It’s dusty, hot and perspiring but TRULY worth the experience. Watch out for my post about this journey. Update: This is my entry for my Taal Volcano Trekking experience.
The recent released of Department of Tourism’s slogan, “It’s More Fun in the Philippines” has certainly drawn significant attention from all of us. And as a proud Filipino blogger, I would like to give my fair share to promote the tourism in our country. Here’s my own work of art with photos taken from my previous travels within the Philippines – Bohol and Baguio. For those who wants to make their own art of “it’s more fun in the Philippines”, you can download the official font, which is Harabara, here. Please also feel free to use my photos for good…
So I visited Winterhouse in Cartimar, the shop that specializes in winter clothing. I went to Cartimar yesterday just right after I visited my derma in Makati Med. My main purpose is to see the Winterhouse to find some winter clothing that I could use for our Hongkong trip (yay! third time) this February. The shop is definitely great for those people who are looking for cheap yet quality winter clothes. I was not able to buy any because most of their stuff there are for countries with snow like thermal jackets, french coats and sweaters. There are lots of…
I’ve never been to Palawan but I’m dying to go there to see and personally experienced its beauty. A friend of mine (who has been there recently) said that she didn’t know that there’s such a place in the Philippines like Palawan. “It’s a paradise and you should go there”, is what exactly she said to me. I know that everyone has talked about the details of the voting for the new 7 wonders of nature so this post is my tribute and way to support our entry. The picking of the winners will be on 11/11/11 so we still…
One of the remarkable churches we visited in Bohol is the Baclayon Church. It is one of the oldest stone churches built during the Spanish era. Currently, there is a museum next to the church that houses significant artifacts and memorabilias that are being preserve for hundreds of years already. I can’t even forget the 18th century marriage log book there. And I felt like living in the past. So sad that cameras are not allowed so I can’t show any pictures. Anyways, what makes this church interesting, aside from its rich history is the image of Father Pio on…
Our trip to Bohol is our first stop for domestic/beach travel this 2011. I’ve always wanted to go to this place to see the Chocolate Hills but I was surprised because it doesn’t only have the amazing hills, it is also gifted with a beautiful white-sand beach — the Alona Beach. As I’ve mentioned in my previous post, we got our ticket from PAL’s downpour deals. Our 2-day tour was hosted by Choco Tours, a local rent-a-car company based in the province. We had the Panglao tour on the first day and Bohol Countryside tour on the second day. All…
