  • Buddha Tooth Relic Temple

    Okay, can somebody explain this to me? I came upon this shop while I was wandering around Chinatown, looking for the best Hainanese chicken rice at the Maxwell hawker center.

  • Holy packing sheet!

    I am now starting to LOVE Cebu Pacific.

  • Travel Expenses: Bohol 2006

    It’s been three days since we got back from [tag]Bohol[/tag] and I’m still recovering from my vacation. How ironic. The things that happened when I got home was just too stressful and I still couldn’t shake it off. Hopefully, I’ll be back in good working condition by Monday. Something good came in the mail the…

  • What a difference 12 hours make

    Seventeen hours ago, I was lying on my back, soaking in some UV rays in the gorgeous white beach of Alona, Panglao, Bohol. Fourteen hours ago, I opened my pink Emily the Strange pouch and commented how roomy it was. Thirteen hours ago, I realized why said pouch was so roomy: my MP3 player wasn’t…

  • Lomprayah High Speed Catamaran

    I booked two trips with Lomprayah: A one-day snorkelling trip to Ko Tao and Ko Nangyuan from Ko Samui, and transfer to Bangkok from Ko Pha Ngan.

  • Metroblogging Manila

    You may be wondering why I don’t post much about Manila, my grimy, dirty, lovable city. That’s because I write about my city over at the Manila Metroblog. Metroblogging is “the largest and fastest growing network of city-specific blogs on the Web.” There are currently around 50 cities in the Metroblog network, among them Bangkok,…

  • Baan Panburi Village

    I picked Baan Panburi to stay in Thong Nai Pan Noi in Ko Pha Ngan for two reasons: I heard that the restaurant is good, and they have a website. Being one who practically grew up online, an accomodation with its own website gets higher marks than a resort/hotel without. I know it doesn’t mean…

  • What’s really happening in Thailand?

    Travelers are panicking — we’re flying to Thailand in X days; should we still push through? Though I can’t answer that question with certainty, reading these blogs will give you an idea on what’s happening in Thailand: http://bangkok.metblogs.com/ http://gnarlykitty.blogspot.com/ http://bangkokpundit.blogspot.com/ http://2bangkok.com/highemer.shtml

  • Pampanga Culinary Tour

    Our first stop was, oddly enough, Starbucks for our daily dose of caffeine. It was followed by a very American lunch of hamburgers and steaks, and a quick duty-free shopping at Subic. But despite the rather slow start and the quest to find the original Razon’s branch (which happened to be closed), the dinner made…
