Pico De Loro – Braving my first summit

Posted on Nov 16, 2011 | 18 comments

The Team

One of the most rewarding adventure I did so far was when I reached my first summit last March 19 2011. Along with 14 former colleagues from HP, we climbed the peak of Pico De Loro, the highest point within the boundary of Cavite and Batangas. We left HP McKinley Hill office on a Saturday morning between 5.30-6am. It took around 3hours, more or less, to reach the DENR outpost where the group registered and paid Php20 each. There’s also a store where you can buy trail food and water.

Now it’s time to write

And be totally serious about it.

I started traveling in 2009 out of the inevitable circumstance that the former object of my affection is fond of it. To forge a bond, I tagged along with his travels and eventually I made my own. And then I had trips after trips and the rest was history. I grew more addicted to travel as he slowly got tired of it. (And no, that wasn’t the reason why we broke up HAHA)

Preparing for a short, impromptu trip

Posted on Jul 6, 2011 | 7 comments

When I started developing my love for  traveling, I plan my trip at least a month ahead. Then came the time when I would just go where my feet itch to go. My first (local) impromptu trip was April 2010 when I joined a group of couch surfers to go up the mountains of Sagada. Most of the people in the group are strangers to each other but that didn’t stop us to have a real good time together.

Second impromptu trip was April this year. I went international – Singapore and Malaysia for 10days.  While in SG, I also booked train tickets to Tampin-KL-Butterworth, and booked flights to Bangkok and Phuket then back to SG where I have ticket back to Manila.

Yesterday I booked yet another impromptu solo trip. Tomorrow I’m going to Hong Kong and it would be my first time to go solo on a HK-Macau trip. I am utterly  excited. I got lost twice in Macau, I had company on both occasions and it thrills me to anticipate that I’m going to get lost again and this time I’m on my own!

If you are looking for a cheap but secured and nice place to stay in GenSan, I would highly recommend newly opened Drigg’s Pension House. During the SEX Tour Part Deux (Soccsksargen EXperience Tour) last February, Fitz, Don, Marky, Charles and I were warmly welcomed here. Thank you Driggs for the accommodation!

Duck and Seafood Feast at Abaca Restaurant

Last night A and I had dinner at the Abaca Restaurant in Lapu-lapu City, Cebu. We wanted to stay at the Abaca Boutique Resort but (1) it’s too pricey and (2) it’s fully booked. So we just decided to stay at Hilton Hotel and just have dinner at Abaca instead.

Bellarocca Island Resort and Spa, Marinduque

So far, our recent trip to Bellarocca Island Resort and Spa in Marinduque is the best weekend getaway A and I ever had. And there’s no doubt about it. It’s the most lazy, relaxing and “I-feel-friggin-rich” weekend we spent.
