Costa Aguada scenes Costa Aguada must have been the largest resort I have seen in my entire travelling life, though much of it is still undeveloped. It also lies in the middle of nowhere, being situated in what is called Inampulugan Island in the province of Guimaras. To go here, you have the choice to either pass by Bacolod or Iloilo. Even then, it is still a good 30 to 45 minute trip by boat. Not to worry because the ride rewards you with the scenic view of the sapphire blue ocean and the adjoining lush islands, exactly as you see in those postcards. ... Continue Reading...
Back from paradise
Bell by the boats My short but eventful vacation has left me speechless. Am once again struck in awe at all the natural splendor I've witnessed. Am oozing with such positive aura from this trip that here's no room for even an ounce of irritation even if our Cebu Pacific flight to Manila was delayed for an hour and a half (talk about the new Filipino time) ; even if it was a tad cumbersome to be lugging my luggage from one port to the next after what seemed like an eternity of boat rides. Luckily, there were porters to do most of the work for us! ... Continue Reading...
Off to Iloilo-Guimaras-Bacolod

Brazilian Wax-ed! An hair-y, ouchy kind of funny story
Ever since reading last year the Bergdorf Blondes, I've been obsessed with getting a Brazilian Wax and am glad I was finally able to find time last night. The Brazilian was something that mystified me and this time being a summer, it is absolutely a must! However, the procedure is not really cheap and it's not something that is offered by every spa in Manila. I had to choose between the Oasis in Hyatt and Sanctuario, which are both found in Malate. I finally had to settle for the latter because it's nearer my workplace and 'twas about 200 pesos cheaper (...as my son ... Continue Reading...
Notes on the Pinoy as a Traveller
1. The 'pasalubong' is king. Admit it, there's nothing more Pinoy than our pasalubong (take home) mentality. Am not saying it's negative, I just find it amusing that there are some things my family or friends associate with a certain place and they expect you to bring it home when you go a-travelling, be it otap from Cebu, bangus from Pangasinan, buko pie from Laguna, pili nut from Bicol or even giant crabs from Palawan. As expected, during my last trip to HK, my friends were also badgering me about what pasalubong I brought home. Darn, what was I supposed to answer ... Continue Reading...
