Pahiyas Festival 2010

Posted by maj on May 31, 2010 in Lucban, Quezon, Trips

I am no fan of festivals, I actually never liked attending one, as I hate crowded places. But since my travel buddy seem to love it, I have to bear with it. First the Dinagyang, and then this, Pahiyas of Lucban, Quezon.

Real Leaf Supports Dinagyang Tribes

Posted by maj on Jan 27, 2010 in Iloilo, Treats, Trips

Dinagyang Festival in the province of Iloilo was being celebrated every 4th Sunday of January in honor of the Sto. Nino. It was also hailed by the Philippine Department of Tourism as the best tourism event for the years 2006-2008, thus making it a hall of famer.

This year’s Dinagyang (2010) was my first experience of the festival. I was born in the neighboring province of Iloilo but had missed the chance to witness or rather join the festival in its previous celebrations. Together with 3 other colleagues from work, we booked our flight and our accommodation as early as October of 2009. We booked early as advised by friends who are from Iloilo.

Great beach experience!

Posted by maj on Jun 27, 2009 in Boracay, Treats, Trips

Most awaited date, June 20, 2009! It’s been 2 years of waiting… i have always dreamed of returning to this wonderful island, and that day has come.

From a stressful month of preparation for an external practice review, i have rewarded myself with the most sought trip, the BORA experience. I really love Boracay for its fine sands, beautiful sunset, great watersports, lively nightlife and a serene morning, all in one place.

Seeing Merlion

Posted by maj on May 8, 2009 in Singapore, Treats, Trips

Had a training in Singapore last April 22 and stayed at The Ascott Residence in Finlayson Green. The training lasted for two days but we stayed there for 5 days. Enough time was spent roaming the streets and malls of Singapore. Before getting there, i already had a clear idea of what Singapore looks like, based on the stories i heard from friends and colleague that has been and is there, and they were true to their stories. Singapore is a very systematic country, very clean and very expensive. I admire the people behind their system.

Merlion
Just a minute walk from our hotel is the Merlion, a must see in SG.
