Pinay Travels

Living in this internet ear, we all love to be connected with the people we love and care about any time but much more especially when we are far from them.  I experienced being on the road for several days and I have no connection because of zero telecom signal.  It's nice in some way because it feels like you are cut out from the world.  A day or two is good but for seven days, nah! I get kinda crazy.  This shall not happen again!  Never.  Why? Here's why... Tada! A Smart Bro 4G Pocket Wifi! Very light and handy that its size and weight makes it so convenient to be carried around.  Even in evening formal dinners, it's easy to slip in your sexy pouch!  So whenever I hit the road where ever it may be, this pocket wifi is one of the important things I carry in my bag. Here are the reasons why I grabbed this smart stuff: - it's cheap! Only at Php 888.00. - FREE Internet for 3 months (pre-load) (350 MB/month) - ...

Few weeks after a fun-trav'ling with  friends to Saigon & Phnom Penh mid last year (2015), Cebu Pacific had a sale again. So together with few of my laag/lagaw mates, we booked a ticket to Incheon, Korea. The things to prepare and processes were so far from mind when we purchased the tickets.  Chat boxes were a kilometer long and the text messages kept on coming in for an update.  They need to know an update if he or she was able to book.  OH well, when piso sale is on, it is so hard to book a ticket.  All wanted to go to Korea for only one reason - to have a picture taken with a "real" cherry blossom. lol!  Yes, cherry blossom was the reason. Thanks to Mr. Google for allowing us to browse on what to do and what to prepare when applying for a Korean visa.  I left all the reading to my friends because I do not want to mess my mind with things happening at work.   We read that the high time to apply for a visa was three ...

I applied for a US visa in 2014. I failed to write about it because I was caught up with lots of deadlines.  Now that I have applied for another visa, I just then thought that it is a high time for me to write about this. I will be sharing in this post my experience in getting a US visa. Just the experience because applying for one is just as easy as eating peanuts, thanks to Mr. Google. The reason why I applied for a US visa was to attend a convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. I remember that I tried to delay the process because of my (MBA) studies. But then, we had a in-campus meeting, as requirement for out-of-campus extension learning,I grabbed the chance to schedule for an interview. I read many blogs and write ups on how to apply for US visa and those readings boosted my confidence to process. Ever heard that USA is the land of the free and they likened it to the land that is flowing with milk and honey? I cannot remember anymore when and where I heard that, but then...

Today is Valentine's Day 2016 and this is my selfie! lol!   "Pretty you say But dateless, see! Yet she smiles As lovely as she's always been"  Ha ha ha I relate so much. pretty (ayaw ug palag) dateless (bow!) smiles (oh got lots of it to be shared to anyone) This special day for couples or those who are in love falls on a Sunday.  Since I am dateless, I spent half of the day in the office and I was able to make this selfie. Even without a date, the day is still memorable because I received a stemmed-rose high Tobleron from a sweet and thoughtful friend and a coloring book from the dear daughter.  If you read this and thinks it's not worth blogging, oh well, this will serve me when memory fails.  I am not getting younger anymore. And oh an old music I fell in love with today - Can I Have This Dance by Anne Murray. Allow me to enumerate a bit of my memorable past Valentines February 2014 - we were enjoying our time in Ilocos. February...

Love is an Open Door! The first thing that comes to mind after I did something crazy ! I am singing "I did something crazy!instead of "can i say something crazy?"..." And oh how I wish someone will answer, "I love crazy!" But nobody will because what I did is not really funny!  especially for my host. I think she almost had a heart attack!  Good  thing she is fit and strong, so she just felt sad for me. I am not really sad of what I did.  I was not in my right mind when I tried cleaning up folders in my cpanel.  I thought I just deleted stuff one by one, but after awhile, I discovered all the folders gone! I messaged my ever-patient host to check up my cpanel and indeed all the folders are gone!  In other words - All my blogs are gone! @^@ www.sunshineleneforlife.com www.midlifedancing.com www.ilovepostcrossing.info www.allabouther.info I thought it is goodbye forever.  I thought there is no hope of getting it back but good news, "some a...

I was glad I said "count me in" to the Iligan Bloggers Society appointment today.  I was really praying I could make it because it's been quite awhile that I have not gone out with my IBS family.  Tonight's destination was at Ramen Yah! Ramen for sure sounds NOODLES to me!  Yes, it is quick-cooking noodles served in broth.  Hindi ko alam saan ako pinaglihi but I can clearly recall that I love anything noodles while growing up.  I can even proudly say I can live with it breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  Until now, I still crave even at this time when desserts abound anywhere. In the past year, the only noodle house I knew in my humble place called Iligan City is the Ramen Yah.  I knew about the place because I can pass by it when I go beyond the Tambo crossroads.  I remember the first time I went there was raining hard but I sure did ate one big bowl of noodles that night.  I haven't been there again until earlier this evening.  Big than...

I have to make my posts into several parts because my whole was made up eight hours or more and for the first day I have almost six hundred photos taken. This is the first part and now this post is the 2nd.  My eye sight is no longer that perfect so I love my photos in big resolution. I like using the attachment feature of this theme when posting my photos, but it is giving me a hard time in the paragraph spacing, so I am still uploading my resized pics into Photobucket. Dagdag buhaton. But I do not mind. I just wish I have all the time to make post. This is one of my favorite travel quotes. Most times we love to go out but the fear of taking the chance and face the risks, hinder us from doing so. For me, I almost regretted why I chose Macau as my first place to do my "bucket list" solo travel when I heard the bus driver shouted the man with big luggage to go down the bus. The guy was suppose to go up ahead of me, and my host ahead of him. I really did not unde...
