How Travel Changed My Life
How Travel Changed My Life
As human beings, we are innately capable of loving. We fall in love with people. We fall in love with animals. We fall in love with places. We fall in love with memories. But more often than not, we fail to fall in love with life. Looking back at the years before I started travelling, I realized that I was a girl who was going with the flow. I was a simple girl with simple dreams. I was walking…

Chasing Hulugan and Bukal Falls On a Rainy Day
Chasing Hulugan and Bukal Falls On a Rainy Day
PAGASA’s Storm Signal No. 1 was raised in the province of Laguna that weekend. Typhoon Karen was coming, but it didn’t stop us from chasing the famous waterfalls of Luisiana and Majayjay. Wala talagang makakapigil sa amin. [P. S. Some of the pictures are a bit blurry because of the fog and water droplets. Bummer.] I had been planning this trip for over a month with my friends Maan, Joanne (who…

Tarlac in a Day: A Taste of the Melting Pot of Luzon
Tarlac in a Day: A Taste of the Melting Pot of Luzon
The landlocked province of Tarlac was just an expressway away from my home, Subic. I’ve been to Tarlac a few times before, once during our trip to Mt. Pinatubo, another when I tagged along my college blockmates who needed to shoot some scenes for a project, and the rest for stopovers going to and from Baguio and Ilocos. I have never actually explored this province yet so when the opportunity…

Video: Finding Happiness at the Happy Island of Catanduanes
I’m one of those people who love celebrating their birthdays. Like really. I always make it a point to do something special on the one day of the year when I’m allowed to feel like royalty. So imagine my frustration when everything didn’t go as planned on my 21st birthday. Although I spent my actual day applying for my PRC license, pushing through with our Catanduanes trip despite the heavy…

Riding the Majestic Waves of Puraran and the Struggles of Leaving
Riding the Majestic Waves of Puraran and the Struggles of Leaving
I went to Catanduanes with only two agendas: visit Binurong Point and eat lobsters. The rest of the things I did on this trip was the result of spontaneity (the stuff my whole personality was probably made of), which included… *drumroll for some kind of dramatic effect* SURFING. We were debating if we should try it while we were on our way back from Binurong. We weren’t able to do it when we…

Binurong Point: A Reminiscent of Batanes in the East
Binurong Point: A Reminiscent of Batanes in the East
Binurong Point was the very thing (or place) that made me embark on this trip to Catanduanes in the first place. One day in the summer, I was browsing my Facebook feed and saw a post by the Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho page, featuring a video of a hilly landscape overlooking the Pacific Ocean. You might actually be deceived into thinking that it was taken in Batanes but no, it wasn’t. It was called…

The Treacherous Way to Gigmoto's Green Lagoon
The Treacherous Way to Gigmoto’s Green Lagoon
After having a hearty breakfast, we proceeded to go to the Nupa Green Lagoon. We passed by a tarpaulin saying “Green Lagoon” earlier though we doubted if it was the same lagoon I saw on Facebook because the one who posted the pictures said that it was called Blue Lagoon. But since the picture in the tarp and the pictures I saved looked alike, we decided to check it out anyway. I’m not going to…

Sunrise Viewing at Balacay Point and Visiting Nahulugan Falls
Sunrise Viewing at Balacay Point and Visiting Nahulugan Falls
It’s amazing how many awesome things you can do and how many adventures you can have in less than 24 hours. Hearing the sound of rain hitting our roof the night before, I was afraid that it would continue throughout the next day and ruin our plans. Thankfully it had already stopped by the time we woke up at 4:30am and we actually had a fine weather that day. I really consider myself lucky because…

First Impressions and Relaxing at Puraran Beach
First Impressions and Relaxing at Puraran Beach
When we finally arrived in Virac, it was drizzling. We booked our accommodations at Puraran Surf in the municipality of Baras. Baras is known for Puraran Beach, which is a famous surfing destination because of its “majestic waves.” I wasn’t exactly planning on surfing but I wanted to stay there because I heard it was a nice spot to stargaze. But because the weather was being a diva, I doubt we…

Celebrating My Birthday On the Way to Catanduanes
Celebrating My Birthday On the Way to Catanduanes
Spending almost 13 hours stuck in a non-airconditioned bus with the tiniest bit of comfort wasn’t exactly how I pictured celebrating my 21st birthday. Sure, I wanted to do my favorite activity in the world for my special day (aka travelling duh), but I thought we’ll already be at our destination by that time and not on the road actually travelling. Due to unforeseen circumstances, my birthday…

The Land of the Winds
The Land of the Winds
What is the first thing that comes in mind when you hear the word Batanes? For me, I had only one word: typhoons. I could remember when I was in elementary, when we were studying Sibika. We were discussing the Philippine provinces. When it came to Batanes, our teacher told us that it was the northernmost province of the Philippines. It was located at the Cagayan Valley region, or region 2. It was…

Discovering the Treasures of the North
We’re already halfway through our last year in college. It was both our Christmas break and semestral break and I thought it would be a waste if I didn’t satisfy my thirst for new places. I decided to head north and explore the two northernmost Ilocos provinces. Kath went home to Saudi so I needed to look for someone who would like to be my companion for the said trip (my usual dilemma when Kath…

The City of the Living God
The dayhas finally arrived! Our scheduled departure for Puerto Princesa was 12pm. We were already at the NAIA Terminal 4 by 10am and we boarded the plane by 11:40am. I was so stoked because it was my first time ever to ride a plane! Hoorah, after 18 years on Earth haha. I asked my companions if I could have the window seat and of course they obliged. Though I felt like my head and ears were being…

Where Mother Nature Went Insane
[WARNING: Loaded with words and pictures of pretty things. And me. HAHAHA. Kid.]
At 2:30am, after almost 5 and a half hours of travelling (which includes almost an hour and a half of bumping due to an undeveloped road in Taytay), waking up every now and then and checking my social networking accounts, we finally arrived in El Nido! We were dropped off by Fort Wally at Joaquinn’s Bed and…

Over the Horizon
I woke up at around 8am. Kath and JR woke up almost the same time as I did. The realization that we missed our planned night walk hit us and we were suddenly regretful. But at least we had some much needed rest so that we could enjoy our last day in El Nido.
We went up to have breakfast a few minutes later. We planned to go to Las Cabañas Beach, otherwise known as Marimegmeg or Marimagmag Beach,…

Wonder of Nature
I never knew how much time had passed since we left El Nido, but when I woke up, the bus had already stopped. And I needed to go to the comfort room. I left my bags and Kath and JR and rushed to go to the CR but was stopped by a man. He told me I needed to pay 5php. Dammit. I didn’t have any money on me so I promised that I would come back and pay him later. So I went ahead. The CR sure was…
