Fifteenth Stop: The Long Journey to Siargao

December 25, 2011 by Edcel 6 Comments

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...]

Fourteenth Stop: Misfortunes in Bantayan

December 13, 2011 by Edcel 5 Comments

Before I start, let me just tell you that this article is not going to contain a single picture from our visit in Bantayan due to the unfortunate events that transpired in our trip. If you want pictures, we can’t give you any, but if you want to read our experience, stay and grieve with us due to our loss, and the story goes.. Bantayan Island is in the Visayan Sea, Philippines, located just west … [Read more...]

Sidetrip: Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort

June 26, 2011 by Edcel 8 Comments

When we won the 5th place for Best Cebu Blogs of 2010, we won ourselves a gift check for a day stay at Maribago Bluewaters Resort. Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort is located at Maribago, Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu. It is roughly 15mins away from Mactan International Airport. We’ve been in Maribago Bluewaters Resort through summer parties that the BPO Companies that we have worked for organized and a … [Read more...]

Thirteenth Stop: Finally, Kalanggaman Island

June 13, 2011 by Edcel 6 Comments

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)

June 12, 2011 by Edcel Leave a Comment

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...]

Eleventh Stop: Thrilla in Manila (Day 3)

March 30, 2011 by Edcel 5 Comments

Some things just don’t end up like you want it to be. After 2 good days in Manila, the plan for the 3rd day was to check out the malls near the area and check out Makati. Time to pack up, leave our home for 2 days, Park Villa Aprtelle, and head for Divisoria first. (This post will contain very minimal pictures due to the sequence of events that happened.) From Examiner Street, … [Read more...]

Manila Ocean Park and Star City

March 16, 2011 by Edcel 1 Comment

After a long day touring around spots in Manila, we were not done yet. Our next stop is one of the newest and coolest attractions in Manila, the Manila Ocean Park. Manila Ocean Park is the first Oceanarium in the Philippines, located behind the Quirino Grandstand at the Rizal Park in Manila.  It was just about time that the Philippines have its own Oceanarium. Philippines is the center of marine … [Read more...]

Eleventh Stop: Thrilla in Manila (Day 2)

February 12, 2011 by Edcel 1 Comment

The second day of our Manila trip was scheduled as the roam-around-all-you-want-all-you-can-as-your-feet-does-not-complain day based on our on-location-not-so-cleverly-planned itinerary. So were we excited? For the "tour", Hell yeah! For the projected long walk, not really. Edcel was uberly excited, he woke up ahead of the alarm clock and had to drag me out of bed. As mentioned, we did not have … [Read more...]

January 19, 2011 by Edcel 6 Comments

Our next destination is a place where most people wants to be in before and it could still remain true today. It's the main financial, commercial and educational center of the Philippines. We're going to, Manila.Manila (Tagalog: Maynila; pronounced /maɪˈnilaʔ/ in Tagalog, /məˈnɪlə/ mə-NIL-ə in English), officially the City of Manila, is the capital of the Philippines and one of the sixteen cities … [Read more...]
