It’s the time of the year…our warm summer days with its blue skies, hot humid air, and the scourging heat; it was a fine day for a flight out of town except that ours was delayed again. The troop is off for our second time in Bicol, a late birthday trip for me having gone older three days earlier. It was supposed to be just a short 45 minutes flight but when it was time for our plane to descend towards Naga, our captain announced that we couldn’t land due to zero visibility caused by the change of weather and that we would have to go round for 45 more minutes and wait for the clouds to clear up, else we will have to go back to Manila. More than the disappointment, I was more petrified ... read more
Calaguas Trip, Camarines Norte

As a beach lover, I always look for "not-so-commercialized" beaches so I'd be able to enjoy the beach freely---it's pristine waters, white and powdery sand, and listen to the calming tides while reading a book. Calaguas is definitely a must-visit paradise. Be warned though that it does not have any resorts so meaning, one has to prepare for a truly one-of-a-kind outdoor adventure. They only have 2 comfort rooms, one common bath area and one "open-pantry". But given my adventurous personality, I don't have any qualms with such limited amenities.

At the Legazpi bus terminal we intended to catch a bus to Naga and then connect to Daet in Camarines Norte but then the locals told us there is a direct bus to Daet, no a/c and it will only take 4 hours, hmm.. the bus conductor promised us it will be minimal stops so we took it. We had breakfast at the cafeteria and then off we go, from the get go the bus was slow, trying to pick up every one on the road including cats and dogs perhaps. And so what was to be 4 hours turned to 6 as we arrived in Naga we were told to transfer to a very full bus, we got seats allright but it was very hot, and the girl next to me is puking buckets. Only ... read more
