Sleepy and tired, I endured Cebu’s interminable, Friday gridlock. My flight was 10PM, and getting through the slow-moving traffic requires a lot of perseverance, though I wasn’t the one driving. However, instead of getting upset, I thought of the beautiful adventure that awaits at the other end of that journey. I arrived in Kalibo as scheduled. However, trips for Antique were no longer available. Hence, I stayed in the city, rented a room for 6 hours, and then headed to Pandan immediately before sunrise.

The grueling weekday routine could be stressful. Moving back and forth from the office to home is even worse. You may bump some random sulky strangers, exchange some heated useless arguments, or got stuck in an unending gridlock. These stuff make me rather impulsive to look for quick weekend getaway, a location distant enough from the toxic metro. Before the most desired toodle-oo on the week’s terminal hours, I scanned around the internet to look for suggestions. I planned for a desolate trip again, masturdating, as they say, hence a staycation would be the top option. Then I found The ... Read more

Speaking for myself, under normal circumstances, nothing is lazier than waking up in a dawn chill. Pulling yourself up is one hard thing to do, and dragging your indolent body to the shower room could be pretty demanding—unless you have one good, convincing reason to hasten the process. When I finally came to my senses, I suddenly feel the urge to rush everything out. I barely had an hour to prepare, and getting to the pickup point may cost me another 15 minutes. Luckily, my adventurous personality is equally persistent. I did not squander a single second. And in a ... Read more

Our daily routines could be demanding sometimes. We wake up every morning to get to work, deal with different type of people along the way, and then return home at nightfall. The following day, we wrap ourselves in office attire again, and then do the same thing. It is a stressful cycle. That is why, we want to breakaway sometimes. We travel see the world at different vantage points and refresh our senses.

I usually draw my energy from the sun, yes, like Superman. But unlike your childhood superhero, my skin won’t get as hard as steel. I don’t get enhanced hearing power, and can’t emit amplified solar energy from my eyes.  I don’t even levitate. The energy that I get from the sun, however, is the feeling of being light and free. It is the feeling that can tolerate almost every peskiness, annoyance, and stupidity—a feeling that can forgive whoever offends me. With it, I feel like I can devise resolutions to every issue, conflict, or predicaments that I might encounter. That ... Read more

Most of us travel to relax and to de-stress. We want to escape from what is routinary, indulge with the local delicacies, and experience the culture of the places that we visit.

Indulge without worry during food trip However, there are instances that we encounter some challenges along the way. It can be a force majeure or something that is beyond our control. We could not tell as to when our stomachs become upset and when dizziness attack during ... Read more

When in Kuala Lumpur, seeing Petronas Twin Towers should be on every traveler’s list. Scaling the world’s highest twin towers is optional, but is highly recommended. I intentionally scheduled my visit few minutes before sunset—a time when the sun starts to disappear from the horizon and a moment when the tinge of the welkin alters. I expected for a radiant, vivid, and vibrant skyline. Yes, I already imagined that the sunset would be spectacular at the top of Petronas Twin Towers. I made the preparations in such a way that I won’t mess up the plan. Though I am always ready ... Read more

I never expected to experience utmost seclusion at a white strip of the bustling Panglao Island. Normally, a popular island beachfront comes with a profusion of loud music, conglomeration of business establishments, and herd of tourists in a rather chaotic mix. Momo Beach, though located in Panglao, is a contrary to all that. It offers a tranquil escape tucked away in a remote edge of the island. #MomoMagic feels at Momo Beach House Reaching Momo Beach may be a bit of a frowner to some. It seats at one end of an unpaved dirt alley that cut through a highly ... Read more
