Sharing the travels and side treats of a simple blogger…
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.
festive
This is the 3rd time that i visited Boracay, and i keep on loving it..
the lovely sceneries...
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.

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.

This is the first time i set foot in Mindanao archipelago, our first stop is in Davao City.

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

This is the 3rd time i visit the summer capital of the Philippines, BAGUIO! All 3 visits coincides in the month of May. Riding a new Mitsubishi Adventure, we arrived in Baguio after a 5-hour drive.
As famous as Baguio itself are the pine trees that sorrounds us.

Oct 2008, a zero fare was offered, AGAIN, by Cebu Pacific Airlines, with fly period of Jan-Mar 2009. I instantly thought of CORON, another dream destination of mine. Right at the very moment I saw the advertisement, I asked my colleagues if they want to go to CORON, and without second thoughts they said yes, and a minute later, I booked 8 people bound to Busuanga for Feb 28-Mar 2, 2009. A day passed and the 8 became 10, a week later we are 14 and a month before the dream date we are 17, a great number, five of whom booked flights from Philippine Airlines.

Thanks and no thanks to Cebu Pacific Zero fare. Thank you, I got to visit one of my dreamed destination.. no thanks, as the date that was booked early or rather very early – to avail the promo – coincided to our Firm’s Christmas Party, and the first time I missed one.
We arrived at Laoag airport night of December 5, we were approached by a tryke driver for a ride to Laoag City, well, through the help of different blogs, I immediately agree to the driver’s asking.. P120.
