  • Road Trip to Vigan City

    Posted on Tuesday May 5th, 2009 at 22:50 in travel, vacation, ilocos, beach resort, vigan, pagudpud

    I pictured it early on. Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte. Same old beach scenes in my picturesque dreams: Flat on my chest upon white or brown sandy, virgin beach waters of the old North, flaunting my fair skin for a desired summer, golden tan...

  • All Trips Lead to Home (Part 3 of 3 Parts)

    Posted on Monday January 12th, 2009 at 06:59 in travel, vacation, reflections

    What was the only thing I found good about staying in a 21st floor of a condominium building was the chance to look at the world, with its two sides of the coin. Besides, living that high, even for short period of a week, made you feel that you were ...

    The most active and the longest-running bloggers always have a prayer, a post, or a routine before a year begins or ends; I missed mine (though I am not any of the two). That is because Tarko and I were on a trip to Manila, right after Christmas Day,...

    I owe her my freedom. I had this thought in mind when I left Manila for home yesterday. The opportunity I had been waiting for sometime now, for me to be able to move in to Manila with Tarko, finally came from her. She has plans and projects waitin...

  • Beach, Again

    Posted on Monday October 6th, 2008 at 05:28 in vacation, surfing, beach resort

    Tarko still had a hangover from last Friday’s day-out with me at Sea Park Beach Resort. Came Sunday morning, he pulled my hand and said, “Punta swimming.” (Let’s go swimming.) Since I intend to really change my lifestyle these days, I gave in...

  • For the Love of Sun, Sand, and Ocean

    Posted on Friday October 3rd, 2008 at 08:47 in vacation, beach resort

    Out of the blue, I packed a few things of my son –blue batik sarong, blue sleeveless shirt, blue shorts, blue slippers, and milk bottle (the only stuff not blue that is). And they were all in his blue backpack, ready to be used at the beach. I did ...
