It's quite a shame that some of my friends have been to the gem of a beach called Anawangin Cove ahead of me. Having been here with the hubby over the weekend, I can only be thankful that I didn't pass up the chance to go here. (Waste no time, if you must. My friend J predicts that in two years, Anawangin will no longer be the off-the-beaten track destination that it is now. The tourists will come in droves, and then it will be another Boracay or Puerto Galera. Hope not.) One big attraction of Anawangin is that it is so cheap and easy to go here, being only three ...

This Cebu Pacific Wandering Juan went to …… Coron, Palawan
Our trip to Coron, Palawan last September would prove to be one of the most memorable ever, especially for this blogger who is Little Miss Afraid of Plane Rides :D I really should know better than ride a propeller plane on bad weather, but there was simply the inescapable lure of Coron beckoning me and the hubby on our planned second honeymoon. Our plane wasn't even half-full when we left NAIA Terminal 2 that morning. I felt comforted by a group of giggling college students who were having the time of their lives taking group pictures before the flight. Like us, ... Continue Reading...
Images from Sentosa
I remember how excited I was to see Sentosa - Singapore's island resort - on this trip, as I haven't been there before. It was "masterplanned" like all of Singapore. Don't know if it was because September was no peak season, but I found it too quiet in fact. Far from being the crowded nightmare that was the Hong Kong Disneyland. And certainly far from the "character" of our beach resorts with its barbecues on the beach and ladies selling pearl necklaces by the road. The most "touristy" thing I did was visit the Underwater World but sadly, our Manila Ocean Park ... Continue Reading...
In Singapore: the ION Orchard basement Food Hall
It's amazing to see how Singapore has changed in a year's time since I went there. There's a lot of activity in the landscape, as judged by construction cranes all over the place. Take for example the new mall, ION Orchard, which is beside the Wisma Atria and Takashimaya on Orchard Road. Mostly I went here because some friends of mine were talking about its food court, which is now shadowing the Food Republic in terms of its offerings. Initial impression: awesome! In a place like Singapore, am quite content not to be eating in hotel and other fining dining places. ... Continue Reading...
Restos in Angeles City: VFW, C’ Italian Dining & 19 Copung Copung
Most recently, a foreign friend bent on staying for a time in the Philippines asked me for recommendations about places to go and the cost of living in the country. "Anywhere I should avoid? Like Angels City? I mean those places where sex tourist and 'sexpats' gather. Don't want to end up somewhere like Thailand's Pattaya. " I presume Angeles City has such a rep among the males by virtue of word of mouth and what they read in the forums. I was here this week and the trusty pedicab I rode in drove through the city's (in)famous bar strip in Fields Avenue where some ... Continue Reading...
