What makes a meal memorable? Is it the company? 😀 The type of cuisine? 🍱 Or the exquisite dessert? 🍰 Give yourself a few minutes to think. It’s not so hard to pick them out, right? After all, we don’t remember most meals we had while we were traveling. Don’t you wish you wear a memory chip that just replays…

Maayo Hotel, located in the same building as Maayo Medical, is the first premier hotel in Mandaue City. It’s one of the newest properties in 2017 that diversified Cebu’s accommodations. So, together with staycation junkies Neil, Brennan of The Weekend Dispatch , and Doi of The Travelling Feet , we explored this completely new, stylish, and wellness-conscious hotel,…

Have you ever traveled for music? I have. And it was one of my life’s most surreal moments. 32 has to be a fascinating age to be. A day after my birthday, we flew to Manila. We stayed at Go Hotels Mandaluyong, but the highlight was the Joey Ayala concert at Greenhills’ Music Museum. Now,…

If you love nothing but hotel breakfast, perfectly plush bed and long hours spent watching National Geographic on cable TV, reading travel magazines, or sleeping in, keep reading. You’re probably a 30-ish male or female with a stable job. Your weekdays are packed with work (day job, side projects, gigs, and housework included). Needless to…

Can’t give up your worldly possessions to stay permanently in Coron? Just get a glimpse of this gem. But if you have less than four days to enjoy its sights and attractions, how do you choose? I can help you get started. I’ve been to Coron only once last September this year, so I’m far…

Love underwater photos? I’m not in the mood to write a lengthy post so I decided to simply share with you a few photos of Coron Island’s underwater treasures. This is not film-grade quality but it’s something. Plus, it’s free. So, you’re welcome to ogle these images or use them as teasers so your buddies…

Coron conjures up images of scenic lakes, towering karst rock formations, steep cliffs… but not coffee shops. I heard a story from one traveler who tried some authentic coffee brew prepared by Tagbanua people but we were not part of that eco-tour. Luckily, we found a few cozy coffee corners during our stay that I…

When you reach Coron town proper, don’t forget to look up and check out Mt. Tapyas. The label “CORON” in white font will be your guide. If you’ve searched other blogs about the way to Mt. Tapyas, you’d be told to look for Malvar Street and an Iglesia ni Cristo church. Once you spot this…

Where to stay in Coron? You won’t find a list of hotels, inns, and guesthouses here. But you will read a first-hand account of R & R Bayview Inn and Coron Gateway Hotel and Suites. Let me guess. You’re not fastidious about where you stay while on vacation. After all, you’re not going to spend the…

Em and Intramuros – two of my favorite subjects lately. And I just discovered a way to see them simultaneously. I caught up with Em while gliding around Intramuros on a Segway. What could be more fun?! I’ve always wanted to mount and ride a Segway ever since I saw it on YouTube. Dean Kamen was…
