Tired of San Francisco?

Being a California resident particularly residing in the Bay Area, I’m 30 minutes drive away from San Francisco City. I love San Francisco city. It’s so alive, colorful, and festive. When I arrive in the US the first time, I was so in love with San Francisco. We live in an area where store closes [...]

A roadtrip to Carmel

Goodbye to Coron, Palawan

This comes with big regret but I’m going to kiss a Coron vacation goodbye for now. With the constant rainy weather over at Coron, it’s better to postpone the trip. I wouldn’t like to go island hopping when it’s raining/stormy. Our boat may capsize and also we wouldn’t be able to get a good shot [...]

The flight that never was

Furthermore after church it  gave me time for some last minute shopping for the trip. I successfully bought my DICAPAC that [...]

Celebrating the Pahiyas Festival

My sister and I decided to go to Quezon province to participate in the Pahiyas Festival on May 15. I’ve been seeing Pahiyas coverage on TV. The news show houses being decorated with edible decorations called “kiping” and lots of people celebrating in the fiesta. I was glad to have this opportunity to go to [...]

Surviving Sagada

Last weekend I went to Sagada and literally survived the trip. Sagada is at the northern part of Luzon just beyond Baguio or Benguet. It is an ultimate adventure trip. If you’re a backpacker or trekker or an adventurous outdoorsy-type of person, you might like Sagada. So what’s in Sagada? I made a mistake that [...]

GOING TO SAGADA!!!

I’ll be going to Sagada from April 30 to May 3. I’m so excited!!! What’s in Sagada, you ask? Just one of the wonders of the world, mind you. It’s the Philippine’s famous Banawe Rice Terraces. We’ll be trekking, hiking, spelunking, and hopefully swimming and jumping off a waterfall! Yahooo! My kind of travel! I’ll [...]

Sightseeing Beijing part 2

Continuing from where I left off, I have just realized that we only covered the basic tourist attraction sites in Beijing. We weren’t able to go to Fragrant Hills, Old Summer Palace, Happy Valley, Beijing Zoo, etc. Well they were originally part of our plan but because we didn’t realize how big the sites were [...]
