The following day was a total opposite of the day before: it begun with rains and for the most part cloudy. Just as when I was seriously considering running barefoot on the beach!

Summer is Here! My Long Overdue Return to Puerto Galera (Part 1)
After what seemed like eternity, at long last, I was able to return to Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro last March 02, 2013 to officially kick off (at least for me) the summer season for the year!
Sneak Peek at the Trails of Hamilo Coast (Salomon XTrail Run 2013)
Last February 23, 2013, yours truly alongside with other runner bloggers and the members of the media were invited by Salomon Philippines to have a sneak peak of the trails of the forthcoming Salomon XTrail Run to be held this March 23, 2013 in Hamilo Coast, Pico de Loro, Nasugbu, Batangas. If you plan on…
Bohol + Cebu Quickie: Alona’s Allure
Bohol wasn’t originally part of my itinerary, but since I had some “spare time” I might as well use it to visit one of my most missed places since it’s just a two hour ferry trip from Cebu. And this time my Bohol itinerary was clear: the beach! Yes, it might seem like too early…
Boracay (Mis)Adventures: A Day in Paradise (Part 2)
Rains have been pouring all over most parts of the Philippines when we arrived in Boracay, but heaven must really be on our side as the dark cloudy skies of the past few days had actually cleared up, and we were basking under the tropical sun of Boracay! What else to do but enjoy the…
Boracay (Mis)Adventures: To the Island! (Part 1)
After two long years, finally, I was able to step back into the shores of one of the best beaches in the world, Boracay. It may seem like an ordinary quick getaway, but adventures seem to follow wherever I go.
Wet, Wild, and Healthy
It’s the second day of my Bohol trip, and today’s theme: wet, wild, and healthy! It’s an entire day of getting close to nature with most likely risk of getting wet and close encounters with wild life. Let’s start the tour.
The Beach, the Bridge, the Sails, and the Sands: Dinakdakan Chronicles (Day 4)
With an amazing race finally over everyone now has time to finally relax. Coincidentally, the hotel that we checked-in in Pagudpud was also where I ate lunch the last time I was here! As much as everyone wanted to check-in earlier to rest, we were able only to do so after everyone finished their respective…
Life’s a Beach
A week after returning from the shores of Boracay I found myself back at the beach! This time around though it was much closer to Manila, around 110 kilometers south at the beaches of Canyon Cove, Nasugbu, Batangas. Batangas as far as I know isn’t really popular for white beaches but surprisingly Canyon Cove was,…
Boracay Adventures: Realization (Day 3)
Coming to the third day of our Boracay trip I realized something—three days are not enough! There’s just so many things you can do in this lovely island that three days are simply not enough. Our return flight to Manila takes us to the Kalibo International Airport about an hour and a half away from…
Boracay Adventures: Exploration (Day 2)
After our team-building activities on the morning of our second day (facilitated by Patio Pacific) we were again set for more adventures the island offers. What’s the most typical sight you see on popular beaches? Banana boats! Believe it or not it was my first time to ride a banana boat because I wasn’t too…
The Natural Joy of Running: Barefoot?
Barefoot running? It can’t get any natural than that—before civilization was invented, or any form of it, that was how our ancestors moved and survived eons ago. Today in the 21st century running had become very technical—pronation, supination, compression, hydration, fartlek, Global Positioning System, etc.—isn’t it nice to not think of any of these terms…
