The one wherein we went to Negros Occidental

Sometimes, we all think we all need a really long break. We all do…that I’m sure, but a 2-day vacay isn’t really that bad when you’re in good company. **** We decided to order food and buy some treats at this rustic cafe they call El Ideal. In one table, there was an old married…

One More Chance — Not!

Nagpabook. Umasa. Di Pinasakay. Number 1 daw, pero Chance lang pala. We arrived in Toledo City around 4 in the morning. As the car made its way to the pier entrance, we were stopped by a man, around 50-ish, wearing a white shirt. “Sir, Ma’am, Di na raba makasulod. Puno na ang barko”. We tried…

Dogs Day Out

Riri went out for a vacation with her fellow furballs from mom’s side of the family, and had us humans tag along. We left around 7 in the morning and arrived at Tingko Beach in Alcoy around 10-ish.

O-peak and Tumalog

The fam decided to conquer Cebu’s Osmeña Peak and experience Tumalog Falls this summer. To Osmena Peak We left early in the morning and made a stop at a road construction site before Mantalungon Market.

Another Dipping Trip (North Cebu)

Summer is always a time for escapades with family and friends.  And that means, it’s time for another dipping trip for the band of itchy feet home buddies. In contrast to our previous dipping trip, we decided to take the route north. Meetup It was around 4 am when I left the house to get…

14 hours in Dumaguete

The band of itchy feet homebuddies are no way ending the year without some wanderlust loving. So, we planned a one-day trip to the ‘City of Gentle People’ — Dumaguete. We rode off to Liloan, Santander (southern tip of Cebu) around 2 am and arrived at the port around 530ish. After the 30 minute boat…

Away to Aloguinsan

A few weeks ago, the band of itchy-feet homebuddies decided to visit Aloguinsan’s little Palawan — the Bojo River. We made early reservations for the Bojo River Eco-cultural Ttour just to be sure we won’t go home with regrets. Oct. 4, 2014 4:30am We met up early in the morning (the usual) and drove our way…

Round South (Cebu)

Family Summer 2014! The family went on a road trip bound and round south   and, made a stop at Aguinid Falls in Samboan, Cebu. Been to Aguinid before, but I did not get a chance to visit all 3 other falls in the area because I didn’t know there were any. This time around, I…

Dear Dalaguete

Posting about getaways in Southeastern parts of Cebu reminds me of my Family’s summer getaway a year ago at Panaguikan – a quiet town in the Municipality of Dalaguete. Mom and Dad decided to visit their close friends whom they haven’t seen for a decade (or more?). Tito Dante, Tita Angie and their family own…

3-Dip Trip (Southeast Cebu)

April 27, 2014 4:30 am The smell of Jollibee Centro Mandaue’s burger patties are sooo overwhelmingly tempting that I decided to step outside the diner and sit at the sides of the parking lot just to keep myself from eating processed food. I love burgers, but I promised myself I will no longer be eating processed…
