Mt. Pico De Loro: My Mother Mountain
What’s your mother mountain? One climber once said that when someone says mother mountain, it is the first that one has ever hiked. Why did you hike in the first place? Out of curiousity? envy? Or was it a calling? Do you do recreational hiking or you do it for a purpose or advocacy? See I once lived in the outskirts of Cavite and I could always see this Mt. Pico De Loro and it meant nothing to me. It was just a mountain, yes? It WAS just a mountain. Well, God knows how much I love going to beaches and get that tanned skin every summer.But last February 2016,…

Burias Group of Islands: The Gems of Masbate
I have been in Burias last December 2016 for a tour and never did I expect that I will be back at it again. I was so craving for adventure most especially this summer 2017 because we don’t have much trainings and seminars. Fortunately, a friend of mine who also loves to travel as well invited me to Burias. I was available that time so I had myself counted into that tour. The tour was scheduled May 13-14, 2017 and we had to meet at the night of May 12 in MRT Buendia Station. Again, I have found myself in the middle of strangers in a van. But then, my friend…

Burias Group of Islands (San Pascual, Masbate)
I have started loving going to places just this 2016 and I usually go DIY (Do-It-Yourself). When someone says DIY, in a traveler’s jargon, this means you have to commute going to your destination. You literally have to do it yourself and make it alive to the place you want to go to lol. But just this November 2016 when I got extremely addicted to Facebook that I spent most of my time on it, I saw this Burias Group of Islands and digged more on the posts. That’s when I came across with this event organized by a stranger. I checked on it, read the itinerary and one thing…

Ayutthaya, Thailand Travel Journal
I came to Thailand alone on May 11, 2016. The next morning, as I was checking on my things, I found out that my toiletries were incomplete. So I went out for a morning walk hit the nearest 711. It was 8 in the morning but it felt like it was 10 already so I ran. I found the nearest 711 some five blocks or six (irdk) away from the university hotel. The moment I stepped out of that door, I really don’t know which way to go anymore. See, I love going to places but I don’t have the sense…

First Day in Thailand
4 mountains, 4 beaches and home aren’t enough for summer 2016……. (And I’m so loving my sun-kissed skin rn) 3 months ago, my research paper in discourse analysis that I have submitted for paper presentation in an international conference to be held in Thailand on May 2016 was approved. DUDE! I’M SO GOING TO THAILAND THIS SUMMER! Those were my words while I was booking my flight. I am so hyped and pumped that even it was months away, I have been making my own itinerary. I’ve got a week for this. I googled places in Bangkok and somewhere near Thanyaburi because I will be…

Color Manila 2016 Carnival tour Experience
I was really jealous of my friends who joined the previous Color Manila events because it really seemed so fun! Sooo, out of my jelly spirit, I decided to join the January 2016 event. I was with my boyfriend in this one. He was hesitant at first because he’s not the sporty type (but he’s on the go! especially when I say so HEHE LUV U BABY). We registered online last December 2015 (payments are made thru credit/debit cards, fyi 🙂 Well, just in case you are also planning to join. If you don’t have any, you can actually buy tickets from SM tickets). Anyway, I was really…

Not just one, not even two, it’s many! Hooray, Mt. Marami!
It’s been a while since the last time I have posted in my blog! In that span of time, I was able to pay a visit to beaches and summits! Now that it’s summer and most of you, guys, are making an effort to file a leave and make your weekends meaningful, let me share this summit adventure that we had 3 weeks ago to give you an idea about where to go next. This year, I have tried something new. HIKING. I am from Cavite (Tagaytay to be particular) and there are too many mountains around (for real!). Everytime I go to a place or…
