What to do at Sidcor Sunday Market Centris Walk

Weekend or Sunday markets are becoming a big thing for people in the Metro Manila. Where the was the Salcedo Sunday Market at Makati City, now we have a bigger one at Sidcor Sunday Market in Centris Walk. Organizers say that have more than 400 stalls  participating every Sunday so you can imagine how big the [...]

Explore With Ang Trip ni Rizal

I am of the opinion that we Filipinos put too much importance on malls. Our family days are often spent inside a mall, with kids being “deposited” in play areas that charge by the hour. These kids will grow up never having been inside a historical museum or ever visiting Jose Rizal’s house.  They will [...]

Seafood Galore at Magalawa Island’s Restaurant

The best thing about our Magalawa Island Weekend Getaway in Zambales was that we were served fresh seafood in every meal. With all the crabs, shrimp, and fish that I ate, I was on gastronomic high during that weekend.  Locally known as “onse onse,”  these crabs have shells that are hard to crack.  Each also has [...]

Magalawa Island Weekend Getaway: Day 2

Note: Here is the link to the  Magalawa Island Weekend Getaway: Day 1 Day two our Magalawa Island Weekend Getaway started early for me. I was the last one to get up from the bed and this means that Desiree was able to take a picture of me  peacefully sleeping inside my malong.     [...]

Magalawa Island Weekend Getaway: Day 1

For many Filipinos, a trip to beach is ideally made during the summer.  I once thought like that. But for the past several years, I craved for quiet beaches.  And that’s what I got when me and my friends went to Magalawa Island in Zambales for some rest and relaxation.  

On My Mind: Anawangin Beach of Zambales

I got a text from a friend yesterday asking if I would still be joining them if they decide to go on a trip to Zambales. We originally planned to go to Burot Beach in Calatagan, Batangas. It would be their first time to visit this hidden paradise and second for me.  I DO want [...]

A Traveler’s Guide to Burot Beach

As of this writing, Burot Beach is one of the hidden treasures of Calatagan, Batangas. It’s an undeveloped beach situated about 20-30 minutes away from the town proper. It’s sand, though not as fine as the sands of Boracay, is white and adorned by white seashells. It’s cool blue waters is a sight for the [...]

I Love Burot Beach!

So, I finally had my beach trip this year and this one is something that I will never forget! For various reasons. First, it was my first outing with U peeps. I was excited to go out with them since they are people who I like chatting with and I feel comfortable being alone with. [...]

The Summer Dilemma

It’s my personal goal to go to one beach a year. I was able to go White Beach in Puerto Galera last year, to Anawangin, Zambales the year before, and to Sampaguita Beach in Bauan, Batangas the year before that. This year the options seemed plenty but it’s difficult to organize an outing with us [...]

A Video Recap of My Kape Isla Farm Tour

One of the highlights of my 2010 was the Kape Isla Farm Tour I joined, courtesy of Ms.  Janette Toral of Digital Filipino. It gave me a tremendous amount of knowledge that I like to impart to friends during bonding moments at Starbucks or any other coffee shop. In fact, I’ve become sort of a [...]
