Day 99: Idiot’s Guide To Hot Weather

Putting the “nomadic lifestyle” on hold can be very educating in terms of basic survival skills at home. Yes, the air conditioning unit broke – as in “not-cooling-me-on-a-hot-weather” broke. I was practically boxed inside my workplace with no breathing space – and prayers to God that the rain would instantly…
Day 98: My Father Was The President

I could still remember my Grade School teacher laughing at me as I was writing on the paper that asked for the name of my father. I was an innocent child – so I wrote with all honesty “Carlos P. Garcia” and I did not really find any of it…
Day 97: Historical Walk At Plaza Libertad

Often times, the rich heritages are neglected – just like Iloilo’s Plaza Libertad, formerly known as “Plaza Alfonso XII.” This plaza was Iloilo’s symbol of rising from an uninhabitable land to an internationally known cosmopolitan city in the 1890s. The plaza existed together with the San Jose Church and its…
Day 96: Visiting The Critically Endangered Hawksbill Sea Turtle

I have visited this female sea turtle several times already. She’s still the same creature years before: flat body shape, flipper arms, saw-like shell margins, sharp curving beak, soft puffy neck. Such an incredible work of evolution! Playing with her was such for a short while made my day despite…
Day 95: How Travel Plans Push Through Despite The Rain

If there’s a scheduled trip that does not need any excuses, then obviously, the show must still go on! A friend arrived here two days ago and I accompanied her for a “church hopping” tour around the province. The rain had no plans of stopping, that’s for sure. Municipality to…
Day 94: Lullaby Weather

No doubt I am such a sucker for cold, rainy days – it’s like being somewhere with limited options, some place that simply pushes you on your bed and sprinkle your eyes with dust from Sandman. I’m too lazy to do practically anything. This “lullaby weather” only encouraged me to…
Day 93: Still A Virgin Backpacker!

I admit it. The longest trip I had was 14 days. I have only been to 10 out of 80 provinces in the Philippines. The heaviest backpack I carried was merely less than 4 kilograms – and I had an extra duffel bag to carry some worthless baggage along the…
Day 92: Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs For 2012

It all started with a single thought of traveling the world before turning 30 – that’s approximately 9 years. Between Coordinates is mainly established to hold posts about my travels and my plans to circle the globe. Instead, it became a portal for some people to relate about the places…
Day 91: Time Is Luxury. Money Is Nothing!

A year and a few months after being in college: wild dreams of becoming a corporate guru and a billionaire – these were the thoughts of a young woman bound to be exiled in a life of regrets. Now, I just want to do the things I love and finally…
