  • Hot Air Ballooning in Melbourne

    Very few things can wake me up at the ungodly hour of four in the morning. One of them is an early flight, and this is one early morning flight you don’t want to miss.

  • Thankful for twenty-seven years

    I woke up on my 27th birthday, and my first thought was “what the crap? Is that sunlight streaming through my window?!” Not the best way to wake up, I admit, but there’s a reason for that. You see, I have something grand planned for my birthday, but due to weather concerns and scheduling conflicts,…

  • State of the Nina address

    You can stop blinking now, this really *is* JustWandering.org 😉 I got bored with my previous theme and wasn’t really happy with it anymore, so here’s a fresh new one to match my mood. Today’s my last day as a 26 year old, so I guess it’s fitting to make the necessary upgrades today, no?…

  • Oops, I did it again

    After all my talk about missed opportunities and knowing the events happening around Melbourne, I totally missed out on David Beckham coming to Sydney gah gah gah David Beckham says he is been surprised by the reaction to his trip to Australia. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid player is in Sydney for an…

  • I met Peter Moore!

    I seemed to have come to Melbourne at a great time – Priscilla the Musical is still on going, one of my favorite travel writer Peter Moore is launching his latest book in Australia, and the event I attended last Saturday, WordCamp Melbourne. WordCamp is a gathering of WordPress users talking about (you guessed it)…

  • Best Savers find (so far)

    Savers, is what we’d call in the Philippines as an ukay-ukay – a secondhand shop. Unlike the ukay-ukay in the Philippines, which are cramped and sometimes found in the sidewalk, Savers has a spacious interior. The clothes are grouped by type, size and color, which makes it easier to look for something that might fit…

  • Cebu Pacific to commence direct flights from Davao to Hongkong and Singapore

    With the opening of their 3rd hub in Davao, Cebu Pacific announces international flights from Davao to Singapore and Hong Kong starting May 8 and May 9, 2008. Of course, this can only mean one thing: seat sale! Grab these fantastic deals and be on your way to fabulous locations! Now that we have a…

  • Summer is definitely on its way

    It’s still technically spring here in Melbourne, but summer is starting to make its presence felt. Last week, these figures were certainly different. I think the highest maximum forecast for the week was 26C. And now, we’re looking to have a 30C weekend. Odd that a person used to living in constant 30C+ weather is…
