PALAWAN

Image
  When I was in 4th year high school, I decided not to attend our 4th year high school student seminar in Palawan for the main reason that I was now looking forward for college life. It was one of the biggest regret when I was in high school. Since then I have not been to Palawan. But last March 2021, it changed. This is my first time and hopefully not the last to go to Palawan. At the same time, Palawan is my top Philippine destination for places that I have not been to. My dream to go to Palawan has been achieved. I am with my cousin, Karlo, on this business with pleasure trip.  Day 1: Our first day in Palawan was spent in San Vicente, which is a developing island in Palawan. Our first day was spent on this beautiful island which is still less developed compare to El Nido and Coron but has the potential to become of the most beautiful island in the world.  While my cousin is busy doing business in San Vicente, I was busy swimming on the beach and enjoying the white sand of San Vicent

I LOVE SINGAPORE!!!

Last August 2018, we were on a vacation trip in the beautiful country called Singapore. I am with my brother, Lester, on this vacation trip. Initially, we planned to go to Singapore last December 2017 but under some unforeseen circumstances, it did not push through. So FINALLY we were on our way to Singapore. We went to Singapore not just to look for good scenery and good food but also to look for CRAZY RICH ASIANS. Hahaha! Carlton City: The Hotel we are staying for five days Day 1: Our first day in Singapore was very tiring since we do not have enough sleep since me and my brother were very excited about the Singapore trip. When we arrived at the airport, we rode a taxi going to the hotel. It costs us SGD 27 taxi fare which is more or less than 1,000 pesos. That's so expensive. We slept when we went to the hotel. We woke up at night to have dinner in Wee Nam Kee which is in a Hawker center. The food in Wee Nam Kee is somewhat similar to the taste of Wee Nam Kee in Manila bu

OH I LOVE CEBU!!!

After Bohol, Takz (TaskUs colleague) and I decided to go to Cebu by ship. We decided to leave Bohol by 6 AM and arrived in Cebu at around 8 AM. We decided to go to Cebu by day tour which means we will be going back to Bohol from Cebu at the end of the day. Takz and I Plaza Independencia Our first stop in Cebu was   Plaza Indepedencia and Fort San Pedro. These places are more of historical places which houses a museum about the founding of Cebu and historical facts about Magelland and Lapu Lapu. After Fort San Pedro and Plaza Indepedencia, we decided to have lunch at SM Seaside. We ate in the famous Mang Inasal which I need to admit it was a regret since I want to try food that is only available in Cebu and not in Manila. But we are budget conscious so we decided to eat in Mang Inasal.  After lunch, we decided to go Magellan's Cross which is the most popular landmark of Cebu. A trip to Cebu is not complete without a trip to Magellan's Cross. Magellan's Cro

Bohol On My Mind

Image
One of the 7107 islands of the Philippines that I will suggest visiting is BOHOL. Last May 2016, I had an opportunity to visit this island with my TaskUs friends, Takz and Seph. Our first visit in Bohol is in Panglao Island. We stayed on the beautiful beach resort called Henann Resort. I will highly recommend this resort because of its first class amenities and super sosyal experience. LOL! Aside from the beautiful Henann Resort, the waters of Panglao Island is world class. A lot of foreigners are also visiting this beautiful island. What differs Bohol from Boracay is that Bohol is more than just a beach place. There are lot of places to visit in Bohol. One of the great places that I visited are Bee Farm, Baclayon Church, Chocolate Hills and the Tarsier.   For Filipinos, the reason for them to visit Bohol is because of the famous Chocolate Hills. In short, Bohol is synonymous to Chocolate Hills. But on my personal experience, what I LOVE

BALER

Last August 2016, we went for a five hour bus trip to BALER from Manila, not just to have a vacation but also to celebrate the birthday of my cute little sister. We stayed in an exclusive resort named Costa Pacifica which is I think the best resort in Baler. We are six in the group namely, Lester, Angela Faye (the birthday girl), Tito Jessie, Tita Nennette, Tita Baby and MYSELF. The Baler Group minus Lester Baler is known to be a surfing spot along with La Union and Siargao. Honestly, I do not know how to SWIM and SURF. I just swam around the swimming pool and the wonderful BEACH of Baler. Sand Surfing SEXY Me Aside from swimming and surfing, we also visited some historical places in Baler such as the house of Dona Aurora, the wife Don Manuel Quezon, and the Museo de Baler. What differentiate Baler compare from other surfing spots in the Philippines Museo de Baler Inside the Museo de Baler BALER such as La Union and Siargao is that it is more than a sur
