About Me

My photo
I have a mole under my right foot, is that the reason why I love being on the go? I love to travel, it is my passion if you could consider it one. I love marveling God's wonderful creation. I love the sound of the waves crashing to the shore. I love the touch of the wind in my face. I love the sun burning under my skin whenever I travel. I love being in the bus, staring at the view outside. I just love it!

Siquijor/Dumaguete Trip









One of my most unforgettable travel is going to Siquijor.  I was tag along by my friend who has a childhood friend living in Dumaguete.  I didn't know the iterinary, i just booked myself and let them plan the rest.  It turned out to be the most exciting and unforgettable one.  Its like "amazing race".  After we were fetched by Precy and her husband from the airport, we just dropped our luggage at their house and race to Dumaguete Port to catch the boat to Siquijor.  We almost miss the boat, we are the last passenger to board.  That morning, the waves are a little bit rough.  Once we reached Siquijor, we contracted one of the accredited tricycle driver to give us a tour of the island.  By the afternoon where we are supposed to take the last boat trip back to Dumaguete, we are racing once again to reach the Port for the last trip.  And we are 5mins late.  And we are left behind.. :(
Since we don't want to stay overnight at Siquijor, after more than one hour, finally we are able to find a boat to take us to Dumaguete.  And guess what?  It was a fishermans boat that can carry five persons only and there's no life vest, just "balde".  I was praying the whole trip, and thank God that we safely reached Dumaguete port.  Once I stepped my foot on the ground, i asked myself why I allowed that to happen?  but Thank God, we're safe!

    - seeks to promote travel to the Philippines among foreign and local tourists alike.

    In connection with this I am requesting your permission to allow me to republish in full (text and images) your blog post at
