Toronto is a great city. But I’m not a city girl. Without concrete plans, I extended a business trip by 3 days and spent all of it on Vieux Quebec (Old Quebec), home of streets dubbed as the most charming streets in North America, located in the largest French-speaking city outside of France. Quebec was […]
Gong Yoo is Goblin! Good news for Goblin fans who would take their fan girling to Quebec – the shooting locations are near each other. With good weather, you can tick off all locations with a good half day to one whole day max. Also, I did not pay for anything. No entrance fees whatsoever. […]

The trail to Tineg, Abra’s Kaparkan Falls, our travel organizer warned, is “physically and emotionally taxing”. This was reiterated by the tourism representative who did the briefing for all travelers before we were allowed to ride the 6×6 SKW Military Trucks. Now, sometimes the tour organizers and tourism officers would exaggerate for safety reasons. This time, though, it […]
I missed Carmel Youth last August because of a supposed trip to Kaparkan Falls in Abra. They discussed Pope Francis’ apostolic exhortation released March, 2019, addressed to everyone especially the youth entitled “Christus Vivit“. I spent some days reading this piece and inspired by Pope Francis’ teachings and the beauty I saw at Northern Blossom […]
At times, because of traffic and over familiarity, we run out of new things to see in Baguio City. But just a few hours away, there are still places within Benguet Province that offers spectacular view of sea of clouds and fields of flowers in chilling temperature. Such is the case of Northern Blossom Flower Farm in […]
Wanting to maximize an elusive long weekend and hotel late check-in time are just no match. We reached San Fernando, La Union at 9AM and check-in time at our reserved hotel room in Plaza de Castiel is not until 2PM. We had to kill time so after some google searches, we decided to do a sidetrip to […]
The start of the trail to Mt. Binacayan is a concrete road, with residential houses of a typical Filipino province on both sides. This uphill road is a challenge in itself and made me stop for rests at this early point of the climb. At the foot of the mountain, where the concrete road ends […]
Intentionally ignoring the time, I did not monitor the exact hours and minutes it took to climb Mt. Pamitinan. Based on how the sun shone that morning, I guessed it was still hours before noon when we went back to the jump-off point, plenty of time for two more mountains. For those who would like to […]
Photoshopped? Edited? I had a good time replying to comments when I posted the photo below on the right. I take it as a compliment when people can’t believe some of the things I am capable of doing. Photo was taken on the “buwis-buhay” rock formation on the first mountain I climbed during my Montalban […]
