Rain in Summer

It’s been a while since the last blog post I made, writing this while in the rhythm of the falling rains. It is summer season here in the Philippines, we started to feel the heat during the month of March. Summer but raining, I know right? Today is Sunday and the rain is still pouring  yesterday. It hasn’t stopped yet.  Before the rain happened, it was very, very hot, well, I don’t know if you guys can feel it too. Let me know if you have the same feeling. But still, I am very thankful that of rains because it gives us a cold environment, taking a pause from the heat, especially that we are  weekend days. The sky is gray, Mr. Sun is not showing and no heavy winds.  To be honest, my perspective of being productive was changed or let’s say updated. I used to describe it by accomplishing major tasks; going outside to buy something, cleaning, cooking, washing clothes and etc. But now, it has been two days today, I did nothing of those mentioned tasks. I haven’t taken a shower yet, honest t

Bantayan Island - A Long Weekend (Sept 9-12, 2016)


My friends, sister and I decided to celebrate the long weekend away from the city. We planned the trip 2 weeks before the actual date to really prepare on it. Some decided not to go due to financial issue and hectic schedule. Anyway, let's start the short story.

 All of us agreed to go in Bantayan Island, it's my third time but all worth it, and the budget must be 1, 500.00 each. We booked a room to stay overnight at Queen Elizabeth Beach Resort and it cost 1,800.00/8pax. Actually, the original rate of the room is 1, 500.00/5pax but they offered us the discounted rate which is 1, 500.00/8pax. The room has 1 CR and fully air-conditioned.

The resort is just simple, clean and very satisfying customer service. Everything that we need is already in the resort from food, utensils, etc. Pak na Pak! The ambiance is not that good compared to others, but it's worth it. I will recommend this resort for those backpackers and looking for cheap rate to stay.

How Travel Changed My Life

What sort of traveller would you say you are? A person who ventures due to a broken heart or just trinkets and happily making a new place has to offer? These days, travel is the most talked expression of the society and has completely changed the souls of everybody.  I am a dreamer. A dreamer of so many things since the day my way of thinking is maturing. When I was in my primary years I wanted to become a nurse. During secondary years, I aimed to graduate and study in a precious university for my college. Tertiary, I wanted to graduate with honours and find a stable job so that I could give back help to my family.  What am I today? I am currently working as a software developer, a travel and lifestyle blogger, and an explorer. To travel wasn't really in my passion before, not until I met new friends. They were the one who became my second family, food and travel buddies. That was during college days, our first best summer trip was happened at Coco Palms Resort, Danao,
