I’m back! I think that was the first thing that popped into my head when I arrived in SFO International Airport. I thought it would take me a while to figure how to get out and look for my chauffer, but before I knew it I was on the exit, and there he was. At…

Bay Area Chronicles: The Trip to the Other Side of the World
As the New Year arrived I told myself that it was time to get things around. One of the things I committed to myself was to get back into travelling which took a back seat these past few years. But I never expected that I’d be going out of the country this early, and definitely…
La Mesa Eco Park Quickie
It’s quite interesting that sometimes familiarity in one place is inversely proportional to your distance away from it. The closer you are to it, the less likely you are to go to it. And one such place for me is the La Mesa Eco Park.
No Wonder Everybody Drives in California!
As a runner, I always make it a point to know a “new place” on foot. But as I got to know a piece of California better, I soon realized why everybody drives in here.
Bohol + Cebu (2014): Eat and Walk Around Cebu
After going around Cebu City on foot the previous day, we were just tired that we woke up practically just to checkout of our hotel. And on our last day in Cebu City, we weren’t done walking around and eating! Here’s our last day in Cebu City. It was a Tuesday. As with most hotels,…
Bohol + Cebu (2014): A Glimpse of Sinulog
The low pressure area prevailing over the Visayas and Mindanao region had made the seas more wavy than the usual making our trip from Tagbilaran to Cebu much, much longer. The rains had not stopped either, but our spirits weren’t dampen. Because of the much longer than expected trip, we were just famished. Upon arrival…
Bohol + Cebu (2014): The “Hungry Birds” of Tagbilaran
We left Panglao Island with smiles on our faces but deep inside us we wished we could stay much longer. But time was not on our side and we’re off to Tagbilaran to catch our ferry back to Cebu. Little that we know that the province still has one last pleasant surprise for us. Upon…
Bohol + Cebu (2014): The Beaches of Panglao
After having our delightful breakfast at Metro Center Hotel in Tagbilaran, we were off to Panglao Island. When you put the words Bohol and beach together, Panglao would most likely be the place that would come on top on people’s minds. From Tagbilaran, you may be able to reach Panglao via jeepney or bus bound…
Bohol + Cebu (2014): The Churches of Bohol
Every year for the past four years I’ve been constantly going to Cebu to start my year with Cebu City Marathon (CCM). This year was no different, except that the places I love had changed due to the strong earthquake that rocked the region last year. With that, my itinerary had also changed: I decided…
Welcome 2014!
Happy New Year everyone! Well, the year’s not so new anymore, but I do hope that everyone had a blast celebrating the arrival of 2014. Has everyone started with their goals for the year? One of my goals for the year is to travel, and yes I had already started! Whatever you plan to accomplish…
Highlights of 2013
2013 is one interesting but very challenging year for me. I’ve had lots of ups and downs, but looking back I can’t say that I have any regrets. And if I had to pick just 10 as highlights of my year, this list would be it. In no particular order, they are: Bohol + Cebu…
Strawberry Chronicles: Bliss Café
Bliss Café was the last vegetarian restaurant we visited during this trip but it was definitely not the least! In fact, I consider one of their dishes one of the best I’ve ever tried!
