• Revisiting Paco Park

    I can easily count the number of times I have been to Paco Park: three times. And that already includes the time I went there two weeks ago with Eric, the blogger behind Byahilo.com. The first one was for a cousin’s wedding. It was held at night and I think I was just starting high…

  • Two years of Wandering, the Evil Martian Network, and the winner of the Envirosax bag

    Wow. Two year. I can’t believe I let a blog last for two years. I’ve been keeping an online journal for almost ten years, and when the mood strikes, I just delete the entire thing. Not just the entries, but I delete the entire journal. Then after a couple of months, I’ll be “normal” again…

  • Angono Art Tour

    While other real estate developers are focusing on their properties south of Manila, Filinvest encourages future home owners to move east to Havila. To showcase what the Province of Rizal has to offer, Havila invited members of the media to tour the Philippine’s art capital: Angono Rizal. Admittedly, Rizal is not a place I would…

  • Celebrating the Earth’s day

    What are you doing to help save the Earth? It doesn’t have to be anything grand like cleaning up the Pasig River. It can be as simple as recycling your used paper products or throwing your trash in the trash bin. After all, these small changes, when practiced by thousands can make for a pretty…

  • Why the Mt. Daguldol Hike was one of the most memorable trips of 2008

    Contrary to what you might be thinking, my continuous raving about the Mt. Daguldol hike really wasn’t because of the sponsorship. Don’t get me wrong — it was great to get the free gear, but it was the people and the experience that made this trip so unforgettable. Me, AJ, Ricky, Phoebe, Jayvee and Ferdz…

  • 100 days into 2008

    If I counted my days right, April 9th would be the 100th day of 2008. My, has it been one hundred days already? Summer is already in full swing, and soon, the rains will come and it’d be Christmas again. The year has been pretty good so far. I didn’t get to travel as much…

  • Hiking up Mt Daguldol with Columbia Sportswear

    “We’d like to invite you on a hiking trip At Mt. Daguldol, Batangas,” Joyce of Geiser Maclang said. “This is courtesy of Columbia Sportswear.” “Talaga? When?” I replied. “April 4 -5. I’ll send you an invite tomorrow, I hope you’ll be able to join.” Joyce said in parting. Hiking trip? Sounds interesting, I thought. But…

  • Traveling with people with travel gnomes

    What does Pinky Street, Ernie of Sesame Street and a hot pink make-up brush have in common? They all travel. Not by themselves, of course. Reina at the Mt. Daguldol campsite   I’ve long since learned to ignore the strange glances I get when I take out my Pinky Street dolls to take photos. So…

  • What’s in my bag?

    Let’s have another round of What’s in My Bag, shall we?   I’m not taking Viktor today, but instead I’m breaking in the Columbia backpack I picked out last Wednesday. I’m looking forward to testing out the other Columbia items as well, like the hiking boots, the Omni-Dry shirt, the Titanium pants. Well, here’s to…
