Batad Rice Terraces

Being the "Impulsive Traveler" of the group, let me share one of our "impulsive" trip of the year. Batad Rice Terraces. It's actually a long drive from Manila. Almost 8 hours of trip (including the time that we had a wrong turn and went to Isabella), ten thousand zig-zags and millions of trees. All in all, our butt hurts and our car had and additional more or less 1K in our mileage. From Banaue, you should see signs going to Batad. It was raining when we went there and we didn't know that the road going to the Saddle Point is actually a very VERY rough road, and SUPER muddy. So, for the other travellers, I SUGGEST to not bring your...

Craving for what?

We want burger. We want steak. We want pasta. Ugh!!! It's not PMS guys, I'm just craving and it's normal! Searching the vast area of Makati was and also is never easy. Especially when you're craving for different types of foods. As we walk around Greenbelt 2 we saw Tender Bob's. We immediately went inside and took a seat cause we're that hungry. After reading the menu, we placed our orders and waited patiently. Yes. Patience is a virtue. One by one, the orders finally came. Hefty servings of three viands good for two persons. We're not monsters, we're just hungry and good eaters. The Baked Ziti is amazing, the serving is so many that...

A Trip to Mercato

Last month, I’ve been to Mercato two times. In these previous hangouts, I’ve tried a variety of foods just to say that I maximize each trip to this food market. On the first spree, I only ate at Big Bob’s. Yes, it’s also the one in Banchetto which my taste buds’ been longing to savour and after nearly 10 months, I saw its stall in Mercato. Rejoice! Rejoice! My first time to try their burger is during last year’s 11-11-11 event in Banchetto which is by the way jam packed because of the Wishing Lanterns Parade. After that incident, I’ve been craving to get another taste of their delightful burger but unfortunately, I can’t find time to visit the...

Enchanted River

Enchanted River at Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur is one of the hidden paradises in our country. It displays a blue green water that makes you think how wonderful our country is. Going to the Enchanted River is kinda hard because of the rough road, but once you get through it, the river welcomes you with a great big hug and a refreshing scenery. They already have cottages and tents in the vicinity of the river. They also have stores outside (means there's an entrance fee) which could cook lunch for you if you want to. You could also bring your own food but forget all your electronics because the power sockets are limited. There's also a common...
