  • September 1 – 3

    Anybody want to go anywhere on the above date? I’m starting to go crazy. Damn cabin fever.

  • Ranting on the side

    I just find it so funny that there are still people who can’t understand the concept of budget travel. Okay fine, it’s probably their first time to travel or they’re don’t travel as much. But geez, how hard is it to understand that you can’t expect too much if you pay so little. What prompted…

  • All blogged out

    After my record-breaking month of May & June in terms of number of posts, I find myself in a slump. It’s not that I’ve run out of things to blog about: there are plenty of travel news, and don’t get me started on my backlog of reviews and travel stories. Call it writer’s block, but…

Take a break from the usual I easily get bored and demotivated by routine. I lose focus on matters that need my…

  • Missed opportunities

    One of the sad facts about traveling is that there will always be missed opportunities. Like, not being able to go to Warner Brother’s Movie World because you’d rather shop, or taking a pass at visiting the temples you haven’t seen yet because of the terrible heat (I’m looking at you, Christine!) As much as…

  • Getting the itch again

    Even before I came home, I already told myself that I won’t be travelling anytime soon. After all, after 3 months of holiday, I have a mountain of work waiting for me, not to mention the credit card bills I have to pay. However, reading forum threads about places I haven’t been to yet is…
