Island Hopping Pagbilao and Padre Burgos Quezon? The area provides an alternative destination to those who want a quick break on an island setting. Borawan is the main attraction on the area but based on our experience (due to high expectations), Borawan might not be enough to convince …
Nagsasa Cove, though not originally planned, was where we decided to set up tent and stay overnight. Four of our colleagues were never in the area before and so they cannot decide where the best place is to camp. My wife and I told them to see Nagsasa Cove first and decide later on, any…
Beach finally!!!! And this is what I mean by beach in contrast with that of Atuayan where we went the day before. Kung me advantage si El Nido kay Coron, that's because beaches abound in El Nido. But this one is really a standout -- -MALCAPUYA ISLAND . Going to the beach on a stor…
Sand at last! I am not supposed to write about the place because I jokingly referred to it as "never beach" . That joke is of course half-meant. There is nothing wow about the place but it was a welcome respite to us having been on the boat for quite a while hopping from pla…
Most people prefer not looking at photos of their travel destination so as not to spoil the fun.That can't be helped in my case since I do all the planning in our trips.Fortunately,in most places we visited,there's always the element of surprise.No matter how researched you are,s…
I was already nervous the tour company we paid for the night before at the airport has forgotten of us.I kept calling the number of the lady who booked us but she didn't answer.Call time was supposed to be 8am but the van didn't arrive until 9:30.I guess they waited for a few am f…
I went a bit tough with my writeup on Tondol White Beach in Anda (my hometown) I admit. TONDOL BEACH Anda Pangasinan: Boracay of the North squandered. But what can I do?That's the reality as I see it.The post has been getting a lot of attention lately and is one of the top traffic g…
The moment we stepped on the mainland and found mobile signal, I shouted in my FB status: "Grabe.me title nko s upcoming Calaguas blog post ko --- Calaguas: Shit this place! ---yang ganyan.So glad nakauwi ng buhay.hahaha". Teng wrote: ". "Hi Antonio Magno Carranza J…
I guess this is what they mean when they say success is measured by what you had to give up in order to get it.The struggle to get to Calaguas Island was such an ordeal.... 10hours on the bus to Naga 1.5hours via FX to Daet 20minutes on tricycle to Vinzons 4hours boat to Calaguas I…
It's interesting how one's perspective of things could change in a span of few days.If I would have written about our Calaguas experience earlier,I might have nothing but bad words for the place.Seeing it now,I could at least rationalize what happened and at least look at the …
Boracay was the final leg of my Roxas-Kalibo-Boracay extended weekend.An icing on the cake.If there is one thing I loooooove about white beach,it's that it's awashed with hot bodies.And as I said,it's not even summer yet! Weather is weird lately and some of friends were in …
"I have a picture of you in my mind,never knew it could be so wrong" ------lyrics from a song by Westlife In a similar fashion,I had a picture of Bantayan Island and I was surprised it's something different from what I thought it is. Bantayan Island in 2 hours
As promised,I am posting more beach photos of Alegre Beach Resort and Spa in Sogod Cebu where we stayed overnight a few weeks ago. Alegere should be proud of its beach front and three coves exclusive for the resort.It's a jewel for the resort. beach photos of ALEGRE BEACH RES…
I know every corner of Tondol Beach as I am a native of Anda Pangasinan myself.I've been here countless times even if it's located Northeast of the island of Anda whilst I live in the South.I remember when we were in high school, my classmates and I would occasionally skip classes…
Kabayan Beach Resort (formerly Laplaya Beach Resort) opened in 1996. It's one of the first beach resorts to open in La Iya San Jaun Batangas and it has kept it's popularity through the years by constantly upgraded it's facilities and amenities. It is a budget accommodation aim…
Let's spice things a bit. It's gonna be photoblog Tuesday to diversify my content too. I am sorry if I keep talking about Boracay here in my blog. What can I do, I am totally in love with the place. Many do. And that's because there are thousands of reasons why. I need not to …
Nagsasa Cove was where we camped during our Anawangin-Nagsasa -Capones trip 2 weeks ago. Although it takes longer to get here, we preferred the stillness of the place. Since it's around 45 minutes from Anawangin Cove, many people prefer not to take chances and choose the proximity and…
