                    <title>Just the kind of vacation that I needed</title>
                    <description>I got the text message an hour too late. My group was leaving the following day and I was already on the bus to Lucban. But it turned out to be a blessing because I got to sleep that night unlike them who left at 1AM.I travelled for five hours to get to Lucban. The streets were narrow and the traffic was slow. I did eventually get there and I was picked up at 711 by Kenneth. A church mateschool </description>

                    <description>Seeing the traffic at 1AM made me want to head back home. It was pure chaos when I arrived at the bus station where my friends and I were to take the bus to Aurora our chosen destination for this holy week. I had no idea that the bus stations were gonna be that busy on holy week We waited in line for 3 hours before we got on the bus. It was crazy. We were carrying huge backpacks. At 3AM I was no</description>

                    <title>How to be an underwater propeller for your surf board</title>
                    <description>A strong seven foot wave wiped me out and brought me underwater. It dragged my surfboard closer to shore with me spinning and tumbling underwater behind it because my right ankle was tied to the surfboard by a rope thats about 1.5 meters long. That happened a few times and I thought it was funny. Its only now looking back that I realize how dangerous that was. I can swim but Im not a stro</description>

                    <description>So I finally got to try break dance I39m glad that the organizers decided to give time for this form of art in this years festival. I realized it39s kinda like Yoga in which I39m in intermediate level but with different music and speed. I was in there with a bunch of high school kids so I felt like an uncle. The energy was great though So much enthusiasm from those kids and some of th</description>

                    <title>Till The Landslide Brought Me Down</title>
                    <description>Rainy season is not the best time to travel in the Philippines. Let alone travelling in Banaue which is prone to landslides. But it was scheduled months ago and I don39t know why they chose July but it was dirt cheap at P2000 for accomodation and transpo so I signed up because thats less than half the usual cost.There was a low pressure area when we left which turned into a full blown typhoo</description>

                    <description>Then I heard him rolling down and Barbie screamed. Oh my God Renz I screamed back. There was a moments silence. I thought of how I can bring him back to town without a stretcher. What would his mother say to me The one responsible for bringing her kids there. It was dark and we only had pen lights. Only three of us were hiking back to town. It was the dangerous part of the trek. The one where</description>

It was just a 45 minute trek but one of the most challenging and most fun treks Ive ev</description>

                    <title>Harassing Dolphins Tarsiers and Nemo Involuntarily</title>
                    <description>Sometimes when faced with big problems and major decisions to make its nice to take a breather. Get away from it all to postpone the inevitable and think. So I went away to Bohol. Supposedly to think and meditate on the things that I'm going to lose and how to start all over again but I was too busy to do that But somehow its all clear now. Now I know what to do.We were picked up by the driver </description>

                    <title>A Walk In The Clouds</title>
                    <description>Halloween is a national holiday in the Philippines so my family decided to visit our summer home in Tagaytay city since its a long weekend. Tagaytay is about an hour and a half from Manila. Those who can afford a vacation house would usually buy here because of the cool weather. At least the weather used to be cool now not so much but its still cooler and a lot less polluted than Manila. The weat</description>

                    <title>Lone Asian Backpackers are an Uncommon Sight</title>
                    <description>Twas my first time to travel alone. Just wanted to see what all the Gringos are up to. Because for a Filipino travelling alone is sad. We always travel abroad in groups. Fetched by a tour bus every morning where everyone is Filipino and we  follow a man with a flag and a portable PA system. We wear identical stickers and sometimes even matching caps. I never thought that was weird at all until I </description>

                    <title>F4ing in Macau</title>
                    <description>We picked a slow ship to Macau from Hongkong unknowingly. It took an hour and a half instead of just 45 minutes. I got dizzy. Make sure not to make the same mistake. Saw the coastline of China. Not much beach there and the water looks cold. The line at the immigration was looooong. When we finally got out two Filipina girls approached us and offered  to be our guides. We only had to pay 50 HKD ea</description>

                    <title>4 days in Hongkong Pinoy Style</title>
                    <description>We opted for a package tour that included transfers from one place to another coz its apparently cheaper that way. 168 USD for a 4day 3 nights stay in a nice hotel Rambler Garden with free daily breakfast  with  tickets to disney resort and ocean park with tour guide and a shuttle thats takes us everywhere and back to the hotel.The city tour was blah. I dont even remember much of it but the pac</description>

                    <description>We left CWC early in the morning. Free ride to Naga City From Naga we rode a van going to Sabang port. The trip took an hour and a half. Good thing the driver stopped at a gas station coz i really had to pee. Ate a whole watermelon as midnight snack. When we got to the port the boat was already full. We were late for about five minutes. We should never have stopped to buy water or we would have m</description>

                    <description>I went on a hiking trip in Cavite with my teen students in my Sabbath school class  in church. We left at 4am on what looked like a dump truck It was horrible. But that was the best thing those kids could come up with and im very proud of them for organizing the trip without much help from the adults. But yes it was uncomfortable.Pico De Loro is  two hour drive from Manila. And it takes two and </description>

                    <description>It was midnight when we got to Thailand. The weather as i expected is exactly the same weather that we have in the Philippines. A lot less polluted though. Its pretty clean for a metropolis. We booked a room in Centrepointe serviced apartments near Pantip. Its one of the shopping districts a couple of blocks away from Siam Center. We booked it online weeks before we arrived but when we got there t</description>

                    <description>Emie and I decided to visit the Tinipak River in Rizal province. We didnt really know how to go there. We just asked for directions along the way. It's not that we like it that way. We just didnt really know how to get there but we knew we'd find our destination somehow. We heard about this place from some friends who went there. Emie and I love to swim and hike so off we went even if it was just </description>

                    <title>Zambales</title>
                    <description>Zambales is a province two hours north of Manila. My family likes to spend time there when we get bored during the weekend. The photos here were taken about six months ago. The ones where I had hair was taken a year ago. This is Baloy long beach just outside Angeles city. This is not the right place for you if you're looking for a wholesome time. Angeles is littered with hookers. In the Orchid Gar</description>

                    <description>My friends and I decided to go to LicaoLicao in Bulacan last weekend. This is our second trip there. We discovered the place last year. It was a short hiking trip that ended in a quaint waterfalls. Its not too far from the city. Maybe just an hour away from Tungko but it looks pretty remote. Very very few people saw four houses in the entire village and they dont have electricity. I wonder what </description>

                    <description>I spent holy week in Palawan with my family for our bienial family reunion. My family flew ahead of me because i wasnt allowed to go on leave coz there were a lot of clients in the bank before the long weekend. So I flew alone a day after they did. The NAIA terminal 3 was gorgeous. Its been a while since the last time I flew on an airplane before last week. And the last time i was on a plane i co</description>
