My mom told me to travel, A LOT, and to see every corner of the world as much as I can. She said that it'll help me discover some things about myself, and expand my perspective about the world. And so I crossed out one place off my bucket list. And since I am an …

The east side of Thailand is not that crowded unlike the rest of the country. Most of the islands there are actually still undeveloped and have untouched shores without any trace of huge businesses and resorts. However in 2001, when the Thai Prime Minister visited the island named Koh Chang, he fell in love with …
Cebu, also known as Sugbu, is one of the most developed provinces in the Philippines, with Cebu City (oldest city and first capital of the Philippines) as the main center of commerce, trade, education and industry in the Visayas. This province is in the center of Philippine archipelago and is bounded by the Visayan Sea …
"Can I have a kiss?" In the US, when you say, "Can I have a kiss?" it doesn't mean physical affection but also means having sweets ever since Milton S. Hershey introduced Hershey's Kisses in 1907 - a famous brand of candy in the west. And if Hershey had kisses, we also have one in …
We all love stories - be it real or myths. For me, I would prefer Greek mythology. And because of the unwavering love I have for blue spaces, Poseidon could be considered as one of them. In mythology, Poseidon is known as the God of the sea and of other waters; of earthquakes and horses; …

Some say, it is what you see from the outside that catches the eyes. While other say that what lies inside is much more important, making the whole thing beautiful. I lived …
Dear Mom June, Sawadee Ka, Suway! That means "hello, beautiful" here in Thailand. I know you're smiling! Do you think I've already forgotten how to melt your heart? Nope! I have been meaning to write to you but I couldn't. It's not that I do not have the time but I don't have the courage. …
I am always captivated by waterfalls. I chase them whenever I can. Maybe because I love being in the water, maybe it's the sound of the strong water falling from above that excites me, maybe it's the fact that I can't really chase whatever I am after or maybe because it's somewhere deep into the …
And some say love is holding on And some say letting go And some say love is everything And some say they don't know... I slowly wiped my tears away when I heard the lyrics of an old familiar song. I looked up and remember my brother, Jayson Roi. Childhood memories came rushing over me …
Day 1 It was 6 of us who first planned this trip to witness the Masskara Festival of Bacolod City in Negros Occidental. But due to unforeseen circumstances, the last one cancelled at the last minute and left me thinking if I have to pursue or not. But the sense of thrill and challenge got …
Spelunking is always a "Yay!" for me. So on a particular weekend, instead of being a lazy bum, me and my friend, Ram, decided to explore Argao that is in the Southern part of Cebu. We met up in IT Park at 3 am and went on a bus from Cebu South Bus Terminal bound for …
Everyone wants to escape sometimes. It just so happen that I love escaping every year, and on the same date. I run away before someone actually remembers that it's my birthday. It's a self-imposed tradition! LOL. I don't really remember when it began but I am pretty sure it was when I started working. When …
