A Glimpse of Anvaya Cove Beach and Nature Club in Morong, Bataan

8 Replies

I’ve seen the photographs and read the write-ups about Anvaya Cove Beach and Nature Club in a number of websites and magazines. Little did I know that I’ll be able to stay there overnight with a number of travel blogger friends.

Last Friday, we were invited by GMCI and Ayala Land to visit Anvaya Cove Beach and Nature Club, which is located at Morong, Bataan. There’s a lot of good words to say about the place and surely, nature lovers must include it in their must-visit places soon.

For now, I’ll be giving some keywords and photos describing my overnight stay at Anvaya Cove Beach and Nature Club. Enjoy!

Visita Iglesia for Semana Santa

1 Reply

Holy Week 2010 is fast-approaching! Surely, most of you are going out-of-town with your loved ones though some might just stay at home. Aside from the fact that people tend to consider this as a good break from work, it is also a special week that we dedicate to our Creator.

Last week, I had the chance to have my early ‘Visita Iglesia’ in Cebu. We went to seven beautiful churches and I am truly amazed on how it was maintained throughout the years.

Lost in Dumaguete City

8 Replies

Staying overnight in Dumaguete City is not included in our plan last Sunday. We were scheduled to take a PAL flight back to Manila from the Dumaguete Airport. Unfortunately, there were uncontrollable incidents that happened on our way to the Dumaguete. The plane left us a few minutes before we arrived 😐

Dumaguete Airport

Hello, Travellers! Guess what? The plane just left 😐

We were all panicking because most of us had to go back to Manila and go straight to work. We tried our luck by inquiring for a flight back to Manila at Cebu Pacific, but they refused to take payments through credit card. We ended up spending the night at Dumaguete City, which I bet none of us felt bad about in the end 😛

Quick Update on Maribago Beach Resort and Sumilon Island Trip

12 Replies

I am writing this quick post while I am stuck with three bloggers at the lobby of a hotel somewhere in Dumaguete City. Why? The plane bound for Manila left us, but there are no regrets. Of course, I was worried awhile ago, but there are some things that we can’t really control. I guess this is one of them.

Instead of feeling bad for not catching that flight, I am taking this chance to make a simple “Thank You” post to the staff and crew of Maribago Beach Resort and Sumilon Island for the very grand vacation treat and of course, Geiser-Maclang team especially to Anika and Charl for making everything possible.

Back from the City of Puerto Princesa

6 Replies

Just arrived from the beautiful city of Puerto Princesa three nights ago. I spent four days and three nights at the so-called “City Within the Forest” with my dear friends Ada and Shena. I was looking forward for the said trip due to the following reasons: 1.) We didn’t have concrete plans in mind 2.) We’re all first-timers and 3.) My dad once tried his luck in Puerto Princesa and even considered moving there to start a new life ten years ago.

I can say that the said trip to Palawan is the best trip ever. A lot of realizations were made and the beauty of the Philippines is much more appreciated. You would have thought that Underground River, which i can describe as ‘wonderfully weird’  is found in our very own country? Who would have thought that Puerto Princesa is really THAT big? Who would have thought we have such wonderful beaches that the foreign tourists loves? Who would have thought I’d rather choose Aegis over Paramore? Hahaha 😛

Saturday Out of Town Trips with Friends

6 Replies

For the past three consecutive Saturdays, I find myself outside Metro Manila with my close friends. I’ve been to three places – Clark, Tagaytay and Batangas.

I went to Clark, Pampanga together with Winston, Erik, Alan and Fritz for the Hot Air Balloon Festival. To be honest, I didn’t really have plans of going weeks prior to that. I was planning to devote that Saturday for the completion of my project. Thanks to Winston for the tempting invitation and the free tickets, I said yes 😛

Weekend Trip in Cebu City (again!)

Where did I spend my much-deserved weekend laag last week?The answer is Cebu City! Who would have thought that I went to Sugbu thrice last year?

I originally planned to attend the Sinulog Festival 2010, but I booked on the wrong weekend 😐 As usual, my weekend trip to Cebu is full of food, adventure and fun!

More Reasons to Love Cebu! :D

Krrunch Time in Uniquely Singapore with Nuffnang!

8 Replies

It’s been almost a week since I and the rest of the Nuffnang PH bloggers left the country for Singapore to attend the first-ever Nuffnang Blog Awards. It was a very memorable and extraordinary experience for all of us and to be honest, I am still overwhelmed with the whole experience.

I never taught that this actually happened. I just feel so blessed that I was able to spend the weekend at Singapore with free airfare, accommodation and tour! Spending more quality with your friends in a foreign land and making friends with other people made it extra special.

Anyway, I have too many things in mind to blog about in relation to this trip. I am still stunned everytime a co-blogger tags our photos together. I want to write a blog entry about our day to day experience, but its not enough so for now, I’ll be showing you a short preview through photos grabbed from my marvelous and gorgeous photographer friends:

Before I Say Hello to Singapore…

16 Replies

It’s 2:05 in the morning (though my blog time stamp is not set well 😐 ) and I haven’t slept yet. I tried to get at least an hour of sleep, but I really can’t. I tried to pack all the things that I’ll be needing for the trip, but I kept on going back to the monitor.

Lolo: Are you the one and only culprit of the Pringles in the redbox crime?! Mica: I'm guilty. Peace Grandpa :D

Lolo: Where are you going? Mica: I'm going to Singapore, Lah!

I am used to last minute packing when I travel, but I know that this specific trip is extra special and somewhat a first for me. Actually, I still can’t believe up to this second that I’m about to go to Singapore to attend the Nuffnang Blog Awards.

For quite sometime, my grandparents and some of my nyok friends were forcing me to renew my passport, which expired last March 1999 (more than ten years ago!). The only country I went to is Hongkong in 1994 and I was just six or seven years old that time. I remember riding the Cathay Pacific plane and dreamt of having my own hotel exclusive for kids and an airline wherein the pilot and the stewardess are all kids. Ok, that’s a big headache if it came true.

Now I am 22 and just twelve hours ago, I claimed my renewed passport at the DFA office. I am quite amused with the fast service of DFA. Though I look terribly sleepy in my passport photo, I am more than happy to finally have it in my hands.

Indulge in Uniquely Singapore!

6 Replies

Singapore is one of the Asian countries that I would love to visit. Actually, some of my friends were inviting me to visit one of the most disciplined countries in Asia. The plan never pushed through because I am sort of lazy to renew my passport, which expired in 1999 (Ten years ago! LOL).

Uniquely Singapore

Just last month, the same set of friends were forcing me to renew my passport so that we can easily go to Singapore. Well, why not? Singapore is merely three hours away from the Philippines and I’ve seen a lot of tourist spots and activities that I can do there with my friends! And yes, Nuffnang will have their first Nuffnang Blog Awards in Singapore where my dear nyok friend Jehzlau is nominated in the Most Influential Blog Category. Going to Singapore to gallivant and witness your friend’s shining shimmering splendid moment with some of the most respected bloggers in Asia is simply priceless, right?

So there. Just a few hours ago, I searched for some of the interesting spots and activities in Singapore online and created my own dream Singapore itinerary! Curious to see what I really, really want to do in Singapore? Well, Read on and I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want!
