nice to meet you BASILAN!

finally! after years of trying (including all the excuses iv got for my parents back in highschool) im able to set foot in Basilan!!! (my parents seemed forced to allow me since they know there's no stopping me from my lakwatsa mode)

this is my first trip this 2010. :-)


one of the first sites you'll notice once you reached their port is this mosque on stilts... iv seen a lot of houses on stilts here in zambo but my first to see their mosque built that way too. :-) this is on the other side of the bridge visible from the port... but i was able to take this photo when we happen to pass by the bridge while running around for some errand. :-)

happy birthday BADUDAY! :-)

ang bunso naming napagkakamalang ate ko... wehehehehe :D

superman churit!

his favorite character... :-) but of course he must be Superman during his birthday!

cwc-caramoan-mayon adventure

i'm missing these guys... and i'm missing having a trip as fun as this one... out of the 12 crazy pips in this trip only 4 are still with GE to date (gagay, karen, ryan and ezra - tindi nyo!)...



it's because of this trip that i got the reputation of creating a crazy-jampacked-almost-impossible-to-follow-pero-super-fun-dahil-nagawa-natin-lahat IT. :-) hehehe

sana maulit pa to. :-)

- remember January-February are the best months to go to Pinatubo to catch the lake at its emerald green beauty. It would be murky brown during rainy season. :-)

one year ago today... we finally pushed thru with the dreamt pinatubo trek...

zambo city hall lights up for xmas!

this had become a tradition... zamboanga city hall is always covered with lights during xmas season... and this time i get to really stop and take photos as many flock this place to take pix too... :-)

chronicling my Zamboanga-Sultan Kudarat roadtrip

by far this is the only trip that i had all my senses on alert mode the whole time...before we left zamboanga i was trying to psyche myself that this is gonna be different from the other roadtrips i had... pero grabe pa rin praning mode ko the whole time...

zamboanga to pagadian
we took an aircon bus going to cagayan from zamboanga since madadaanan naman ang pagadian...dun na kami bababa. At the terminal pa lang sa guiwan kakaloka na dahil there's these 2 guys who'e trying to help us carry bags without even us asking them to... taray mode agad ako... hehehe pero narealize ko later na di ata dapat at baka its not gonna work on them at bigla na lang akong saktan... anyways, this was just a minor glitch.. we were able to sit comfortably na and are ready to go to pagadian... sa likod kami nakapwesto kaya nung marami ng bumaba mamang transferred infront... but some hours later nagising kami because of a loud thud... kala namin may nahulog lang na bag or something... then the bus stopped...

Bohol find: TREE HOUSE!!!

here's something that you won't find when you google for a place to stay in bohol! :) if you're on a budget trip and not very particular for a luxurious stay, this tree house is surely a great find!!! :) not only is it cheap...but it shares the same beach stretch with Bohol Beach Club!!! :D

The Dumaluan beach is the best beach in the Panglao island. It only has 2 resorts - Bohol Beach Club and Dumaluan Beach resort...which both consciously keeps the beach front clean.... The Dumaluan Beach Resort is cheaper than Bohol Beach Club. But it is still expensive for budget travellers like us. But the good thing about this resort is that they created an area where they built bamboo-made cottages, which are rented out at a cheaper rate.

all saints' day in zamboanga

our grandfather died even before we were born...so his grave had been part of our lives for as long as we can remember... this grave had witnessed our growing up since we're always here every 1st of Nov until we started working....we have our grandparents buried in a public catholic cemetery in Zamboanga City.

cawa-cawa chill...

i grew up in zamboanga but i never get to hangout in cawa-cawa... it has this reputation of a dating place that's why i dont wanna be seen there or else il get reprimanded...hehe! the place is great if you want to wait for zamboanga sunset! although, zambo people now have paseo del mar, cawa-cawa still provides a better view since nothing blocks the sunset(a.k.a the port area for paseo del mar).


when the gang came here last Sept09, i had my first tambay in Cawa-cawa too! they were looking for "tusok-tusok" food after our barter trip so we brought them there...
