Drizzling Sunday morning threatened my only chance to witness the cobalt blue water of Enchanted River that I imagined for years. I ensured my guide though that we will be pushing through with the trip no matter what. We waited for the downpour to normalize for us to drift the almost 25-minute travel time from…
At around 4 in the morning, whole Cagwait was still drenched by the downpour. With my limited internet connection, I wanted to check how the weather will develop on the next few hours. I surrendered and just relied on my friends back in Cebu who sent me updates on the conditions. Britania Islands was next…
Moving on from another almost scammed stint in Tandag City, I commuted from Tandag Airport to Cagwait White Beach for just Php70 far way cheaper than the Php150 rate offered by a tricycle driver for the ride from the airport to Tandag Bus Terminal, which is still an hour away from Cagwait.

Believe it or not, since I started working in Cebu City last June 2014, it was my first time to visit Cebu Taoist Temple. What’s weird was that I found it to be within walking distance from our apartment. A day before Chinese New Year, I was planning to do grocery on a Sunday morning and decided…
Colorful flower beds carpeting some square meters of land is one of the ultimate images of Amsterdam, Netherlands. But in case you made your way to Cebu City, there is no more need to fly to this European city just to experience the multicolored flower fields. Few months ago, a bunch of photos on Facebook…
The idea of this post came from the shitty experience of Mace in the Filipino movie ‘That Thing Called Tadhana’ when she and Anthony ended up in a random karaoke house belting Whitney Houston’s Where Do Broken Hearts Go. I’m a member of this very cooperative group in Facebook with travelers doing do-it-yourself travels and…
“Thank you and hope you enjoyed the tour for the day, see you tomorrow,” our guide from Northern Hope Tours made an assurance that he will still be our tour guide for the second day of El Nido island hopping, now for Tours A and B. Most travelers in El Nido, especially those who have…
