All good things come to an end, and after an interesting side trip to Hong Kong it’s time for us to return to Macau, and later on, back home.

The Chronicles of SAR: First Day at Hong Kong (Day 03)
Our China Special Administrative Region (SAR) tour would of course not be complete if we didn’t visit the other SAR, Hong Kong. For our third day, we were up early to temporarily say goodbye to Macau, and say hello to Hong Kong.
Dried Mango Chronicles: Cebu City Marathon 2012
Cebu City Marathon 2011 holds my record for my fastest marathon so breaking my course record would also mean a new personal best—what a pressure! On a lighter note, merely completing CCM will finally take me across my first 3,000 kilometers. Will I be able to break my previous record, or will I just break…
The Chronicles of SAR: Macau Galaxy Entertainment International Marathon Post-Race (Day 02)
After running a full marathon you’d expect that we’d just stay in our rooms to rest, but no way! We’re in Macau in some very cool, nice weather so rest will have to wait! Here’s where our feet took us some time after our races.
Dried Mango Chronicles: Kublai Khan and the Day before Cebu City Marathon
One of my most eagerly awaited event to jumpstart my year has arrived, the Cebu City Marathon. Flying in on a Saturday afternoon gave me just enough time to claim my kit, do my last grocery shopping, and eat all I can—wait, uhm, yeah, eat all I can!
The Chronicles of SAR: A Day at Hong Kong Disneyland (Day 04)
Merry Christmas everyone! One of the happiest seasons of the year is here, and because of this I thought of fast-forwarding this chronicle to our day at the “happiest place” on Earth, Disneyland!
The Chronicles of SAR: Exploring Macau (Day 01)
December 03, 2011: the day before our big race, Macau Galaxy Entertainment International Marathon, and also our first full day in Macau. Our brains tell us we should rest, but our feet tell us otherwise so relatively early in the morning we were up for a tour.
The Chronicles of SAR: The Special Administrative Regions of Macau and Hong Kong
After two years of staying home, a lot of first and seconds in my life became a reality, including my first time in China’s Special Administrative Regions (SAR) Macau and Hong Kong, and my second international marathon with the Galaxy Entertainment Maratona Internacional de Macau (Macau Galaxy Entertainment International Marathon). Here’s the story of our…

Photowalk: Manila
I recently got myself an interchangeable-lens camera (ILC) in a bid to improve my photography skills and to be familiar with my new gadget in time for my upcoming travel outside the country, I decided to do a photowalk in one of the most picturesque places in the country, the City of Manila. Here are…
The Piaya Chronicles: Bago City and the Flight Back Home
For our final day in Negros Occidental we headed south for a change, and visited the City of Bago. Travelling between north and south are interestingly quite different, but like all other cities in the province that we visited, Bago City is also packed with history.
The Piaya Chronicles: The Unexpected Extension
The ruins was supposed to be the last agenda on our itinerary and because of our unfortunate delays going to the site, we had no time to spare and rushed to the airport. Travelling throughout the province is quite easy pretty much everywhere, with the exception of the airport! Yes, there are shuttle services to…
