• 5 reasons why I travel

    Dave of GoBackpacking blogged his 5 reasons for traveling, and has tagged me to do the same. Hmm, why *do* I travel anyway? Something new. I’m always eager for something new and different. 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!)

  • Bill Bryson’s Down Under

    I can be quite a cheapskate when it comes to buying books. Though I may spend a lot on comics, I have reservations about shelling money on books. Looking at the way I take care of my books, it seems fitting that I buy second hand book instead of brand new ones. It was just…

  • Where to go and what to buy

    So here I am, back in Manila and daydreaming about my next trip. I want to go overseas, but I also want to visit a new domestic destination. I also want to buy a new camera, preferably a DSLR. The problem is, I don’t have that much money. Do I: Buy a DLSR and go…
