    Walk of Faith at the Divine Mercy Shrine

    Who would ever believe that the tallest Divine Mercy Statue is in the Philippines? Hailing at 50 feet, I was not aware that it was the “World’s Tallest” when we visited the Divine Mercy Shrine in El Salvador, Misamis Oriental a week ago. This reminds me of Brazil’s “Cristo Redentor”…

    Effortless Flying by Wire at Bukidnon

    If you are looking for some adrenaline-oozing adventure, or a way to relax and enjoy nature while hovering at 4500 ft above ground, then I recommend you should definitely try “flying by wire” aka Ziplining at Asia’s Longest Dual Zipline in Dahilayan Adventure Park, Bukidnon. Trust me, I was never…

  • Stripping in Davao Airport

    Stripping in Davao Airport

    Most of the people I know have already stamps on their passports. Me? I have a passport with a “not-so-pretty-mug-shot-like” face and blank pages that are dying to have some out of the country ink to be dabbed over it. But well, that’s life. Those who have gone out of…

    8 Awesome Commandments for Newbie Backpackers

    It is always an experiment in every journey. From the collective trial and error of my laundry “overnight drying time,” or the number of hours that I feel hungry after a full meal, or the different responses of people when I accidentally drop my near-to-extinction Nokia phone and it breaks…

    Day 256: Drying Laundries at Ramon Magsaysay Park

    Remember my dilemma at packing and me being a virgin at backpacking? I suppose this still covers it. Although, I am trying my best to fit into the culture of being an expert at traveling light. Haha! At 8:45AM, we are now here in Ramon Magsaysay Park, just  near the…

  • Day 255: The 85 Indians on the Shore

    Day 255: The 85 Indians on the Shore

    “Oh Sudami Adi! Oh Sudami Adi!” shouted one of the eighty-five male Indians who are swimming, splashing, and throwing themselves onto the water at this 2PM scorching heat. We arrived at Maxima Aqua Fun in the Island Garden City of Samal (IGaCoS) after our morning tour. My friends took their…

    Day 254: Free Wi-Fi and Next Day Planning

    I worked on our itinerary for our 6-day Davao adventure days prior to the starting date, November 21. We had several debates as to whether we will be going to Camiguin, or ditch the Water Rafting, or ditch the Camiguin adventure and go back to Davao then embark on another…
