Siargao is surrounded by a number of islands, some turned into surfing spots, some turned into tourist attractions. We did not turn down the chance of visiting three of these islands. Siargao is a tear-drop shaped island in the Philippine Sea situated 800 kilometers southeast of … [Read more...]
Fifteenth Stop: The Long Journey to Siargao
There are a number of ways to reach Siargao. As I was scouring the net for promo fares, I was in luck when Airphil Express had a seat sale. I randomly searched for some available seats and ended up booking 2 seats bound for Surigao. I didn't really know much about the province so I researched and found out that it is a gateway to Siargao. Only Cebu Pacific has direct flights to Siargao while … [Read more...]

Foodtrip: Pancake House
Aside from travelling, our other hobby is pigging out to whatever we can munch on. Just in time, Oakridge Business Park in Banilad, Cebu City opened up and housed are a couple of restaurants and a coffee shop. It was a block away from where I lived and passing there everyday and imagining how the food would taste is an agony, so we badly needed to check it out. We headed for the Pancake House … [Read more...]

Thirteenth Stop: Finally, Kalanggaman Island
A year ago was my first visit in Palompon, Leyte. Part of the itinerary was to visit Kalanggaman Island, but Sheena’s relatives opposed the plan to my dismay. So, to makeup for the failed plan, we checked out Tabuk Marine and Wildlife Sanctuary in Palompon and Baybayon ni Agalon in Albuera, Leyte. It was not a bad substitute, but I was still craving for Kalanggaman Island. A year after, we were … [Read more...]

Twelfth Stop: Bloggin’ and Lovin’ the City of Love (Iloilo)
Blogging has been part of my nerdy life for more than 5 years while Sheena has considered blogging after I convinced her (in reality after countless arguments and a couple of tantrums) to write for this blog to document our travels together. When a co-blogger informed me that the 2010 Visayas Blogging Summit will be held in Iloilo, I wasted no time in thinking it over. It was 2-in-1 present made … [Read more...]
