Day 75: Hell Week Starts Now

Let’s just say I have a lot of projects to complete before the end of the month and on a scale from 1 to 10 where 10 is being completely done, I’m at 2. Aside from trying to work “36″ hours a day, I am also on a diet –…
Mangrove Forest to Thrive in Punta Taytay, Bacolod

It was lunchtime then and we were having Calamares, Grilled Squid, and Oysters at the Viewing Deck, overlooking the Panay Gulf – staring at the Island of Panay and Guimaras. On the far right of the coast, I saw a woman, bending her body towards the earth. “What is she…
Day 74: Cheap is Great!

Back in college, I was the reigning cab queen. Everyday, I take a cab, pay a little over Php130, and live a swanky life. That’s 6 days a week. Imagine that. Jeepneys were not that appealing to me and I didn’t even know where their routes go – I got lost…
Visiting Roxas City with Php375

It was a rainy 4am. I was in McDonalds, at Atrium Mall, Iloilo, hugging my luggage and desperately waiting for the others to arrive. The first 30 minutes had passed and nobody was there. Fifteen minutes later, my friend, Lica, arrived. An hour after, two more friends came over (Kams…
Day 71: Italian Meal and American Idol Results

Everybody was rooting for Jessica Sanchez to win this year, but then they were drastically saddened (including me) about her being on second place – take note, “drastically saddened” for a few seconds, that is! Well, because after the results were revealed, several images, videos, and articles shook the world…
Day 70: 70 Provinces More

I’ll give myself a whole year, tops, to wander around the beautiful Philippines. Haha! 8) I was re-organizing my blog and when I decided to put a section where I get to scratch off one province from another, I was amazed when I crossed 10 provinces from the list. 10!…
Day 69: Luxurious Fantasies

A Bentley Mulsanne, a gigantic three-storey eleven bedroom home with a pool and a tennis court, a great office job, and a bank account fatter than Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates’ combined – this was my dream and I thought it will be perfect. Thinking it over, it will never…
Malayan-Indian Tradition: Seaweed Flour

Conversations coming from experiences in Belize, Central America are quite rare to have with someone whom you just met for a brief moment. His tales of hidden paradise and unforgotten cultures, caught my attention as I was holding on to a seaweed freshly caught from the shore – locally known…
Desperate to Ride an Iron Dinosaur

Frankly, I have never rode a train before in my entire life. Yes. Count those miniature trains and mall trains where you get to pay Php50 for a ride around the mall – scratch those out. LRT? MRT? Nah. It never crossed my mind. I was more of a cab…
