« Previous EntriesThe Traveler: Puerto Princesa, Palawan
Friday, September 26th, 2008I went on a short trip to Palawan a couple of weeks back and stayed mainly in Puerto Princesa. Twas my third visit, last was back in June 2005. Previous visits were mostly to discover fabulous beaches like Dos Palmas and Sabang, island-hopping in Honda Bay and check out a few island attractions like the [...]
Today I Am Thankful, Week 4
Monday, July 28th, 2008A day late but with good reason. How can I possibly let this week pass without a post on the things that I’m thankful for? Esp since this past week, I was reminded of the dreams I had listed down eight (8) years ago. Yes, I have a journal to prove it. LOL.
We all have [...]
The Traveler: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Saturday, July 19th, 2008Look up. You’ll see that there aren’t many towering skyscrapers in Ho Chi Minh City, aka Saigon. But you will notice that there are quite a number of tall trees scattered around the metro.
You don’t really need to strain your neck, there are a lot of interesting things to see on its streets anyway.
They [...]
When Good Things Come in Small Packages
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008Can you believe how small oranges can be as sweet as the regular-sized ones? Admittedly, I’m not particularly fond of oranges. I’d pick an apple over it any day but I know nothing of the existence of mini-apples. Hence, my fascination with these mini-oranges. Notice how small they are compared to the orange slice [...]
I Blame the PS3!
Monday, March 31st, 2008I’ve been absent. Yes. And I wish I can really put all the blame on my newest baby, a Playstation 3. But I only got my hands on it at the end of this month. I’ve been terribly busy in terms of online and offline responsibilities esp since I was out of the country for [...]
The Traveler: A Taste of Vigan and Everything North
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007Here are a few notes and snapshots of my recent trip up North aboard the campaign caravan organised by the party of Senator Kiko Pangilinan. I’d like to note, however, that I’m in no way a political blogger, so, be warned that this is merely a traveler’s scribbled encoded thoughts and observations.
I agreed [...]

The Beach Monger: Palawan
Thursday, April 13th, 2006Beaches are my haven.
I can say that it’s a source of relaxation for me. I didn’t use to love the beach because it would mean my skin’s going to grow darker but when I reached my late teens, I found myself falling and falling and falling… Ack. This is becoming too tacky for my taste. [...]
The Trip: Day 4 and back.

Day 4
It’s my last day! My bus leaves at 9:30 p.m., boarding at the same place, bus station at Franklin Street, Melbourne. You’d think I’d just hang around and wait till I get on the bus, eh? Wrong. Wait till you hear what I did before I left. Teeheehee.
I was still sick but I was [...]
The Trip: Day 2-3
Monday, April 3rd, 2006Day 2
Okay, today’s like a spill-over from Day 1’s clubbing adventure because I ended up hitting the sack around 8 a.m. then waking up around two-ish in the afternoon with a severe sore throat, headache and was at the brink of a cold-flu outbreak. Uh, I already had the sniffles and cough so I vowed [...]
