Quezon Province was my point of interest in the last two months. I spent my pre-birthday beach camp in Padre Burgos with quick visits to some random beauties in the municipality including the neighboring Pagbilao. The week after that, I included Lucban, Quezon in my eastern Laguna road trip. The following weekend, I ventured alone to see the rumored island in the southernmost tip of Bondoc Peninsula, also in Quezon Province. And, just lately, I brought some of my office mates to spend a night on the island off the coast of Mauban. From that series of trips, I was ... Read more

The vast majority of us have enjoyed a holiday somewhere hot. We love the warmth of the sun and cool of the breeze. We all seem to be solar powered when we are on holiday.

I started to feel dizzy and uncomfortable when the bus became shaky all of a sudden. The clock above the driver’s seat ticked to 12 noon. I saw no signs of Lucena yet. Four hours had passed and yet we were still in the middle of a dusty and rocky road. Then I thought, where the hell are we.

All the worries subsided when I found out (via Google map) that we were in Sariaya, Quezon, a neighboring town. Traffic were just rerouted due to ... Read more

It rained the whole day and night and I wasn’t really familiar with the place so I preferred to stay indoors. For the entire weekend, I nestled under the reliable roof and above the comfort of my hotel bed. It was a life that I wasn’t used to. So from time to time, I went out to check the condition outside. And when I noticed that the weather was still not conducive to outdoor activities, I went back in, turned my TV on, and scanned every channel that might be entertaining. It was check out time the following day and the ... Read more

Vietnam is a fascinating country. This narrow strip of land in Southeast Asia is home to some 90 million people and it boasts mountains, dense forests, tropical beaches and bustling metropolises. It’s no wonder then that the nation is such a popular holiday destination. The mainland undoubtedly has lots to offer. However, if you want to see a different side to Vietnam, you can step off the more traditional tourist trail and venture to the country’s islands instead. Here is a brief guide to some of the very best. Qui Nhon beach, Vietnam (Photo Credit: Loi Nguyen Duc, on Flickr) ... Read more
