I’ve always been hearing good things about Bacolod City so when the opportunity came, we quickly grabbed our tickets and booked our flight. Of course we didn’t just toured around Bacolod City as we have an entire island for our discovery. There were so many unexpected things that happened to us during our trip which…

Baguio City Quickie
What’s crazier than driving up and down Baguio City from Metro Manila for a day tour? It’s doing it all over again! We did it once, and last weekend was able to do it again.
I Should Be In Boracay!
As I write this post I should have already been in the Philippines’ premier beach destination, Boracay, but instead I’m at a Korean fast food, sulking with their hot and spicy fish fillet—all because my much awaited vacation was cancelled!

Lucky 9 at Cebu Marathon
It was the ninth day of the New Year, and it was my ninth marathon. I’ve heard wonders about the previous Cebu Marathon, so this year I decided to find out for my own and do some “assessment run,” but I got much more than I had expected.

Cebu City Quickie
Cebu was one of the destinations I’ve always wanted to visit for the longest time mostly because of my fascination with Philippine history. Unexpectedly, that wish came true! But there’s a catch—the trip was merely for only a day and a half! And here’s how this “surprise” trip came about.
