Assault to Mt. Binacayan

Mt. Binacayan is situated at Montalban, Rizal.  It's just 20 minutes away from Marikina (where our place is) with no traffic. My memories of Montalban take me to my childhood days. We used to visit our relatives there. I can still vividly remember how boring it was for me then because all I could see were trees and mountains. When I was a child, my appreciation to mother nature was totally oblivious.  Now that I am an adult, all I could think of is to conquer the 11 mountains of Montalban.

DIY Wedding Preparations

Planning a wedding budget is a very challenging task especially if the couple has limited financial resources. I don't want to say this but, money speaks volume in the wedding industry nowadays. Every move demands certain cost.

Wedding Suppliers Review

I can't believe I am actually doing a review one year after our big day. Elbert and I have been extremely busy (and lazy) since we got married. There's just too many things to be mindful of. Of course there's this thing they call "adjustment stage", from being single to being married. I bet rookie couples can agree on that.

Marinduque Island

I didn't know that Marinduque is the heart of the Philippines. (Please don't judge me!) I've been wanting to visit this province to experience Moriones Festival. But I figured that it's not going to be an easy journey as Moriones is observed during Lenten break. I can just imagine the huge crowd, the Manila traffic and the scorching heat of the summer. Medyo hardcore ýun, mga besh!

Mt. Cayabu and Mt. Maynuba Traverse Hike

Alarm. 3AM. Shucks! Parang kakatulog ko pa lang! Must be at Cogeo Gate 2 at 4AM! 

Hike bag. Check.
Camera. Check.
Cash. Check.

Okay na. Gusto ko pa sanang mag-kape kaso parang late na.

Taxiiiiiii!!!

Time check - 3:30AM. "Manong, Gate 2 Cogeo, po."  In less than 20 minutes, pag-gising ko, Gate 2 na. Astig! I hope traveling to work is like this.

Sagada Bound

My vision was terribly spinning as Coda (Bus) Lines traversed the narrow and zigzag road to Sagada. It nearly had me sick to be honest. But for all it’s worth, Sagada is indeed one of the many wonderful mountainous places in the Philippines I wouldn’t hesitate to visit again even it would costs me 11 hours bus travel. Aside from the fact that the place is indeed close to nature, Sagada preserves its rich culture and old tradition thus making it one of the top tourist destinations in the Mt. Province.

Exciting Dishes in Korea

Travel backlog alert! Korea 2015 :) Elbert and I stayed there for a week, thus it's the longest travel Elbert and I did so far. We were there in the first week of April - perfect timing for spring season! And, spring season in Korea means da...da...da...daaaaa....cherry blossoms! Yes, we had a lot of that (medjo naumay na nga ako nuon lol).
