Pinay Travels

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...

Good morning! It's my birthday and I can hear the rain is pouring hard outside.  I was staying with friends and they are up earlier than me because they are going out to work.  But I should not worry because one of room occupants is coming in from night work.  The scenario reminds me of the life of hard-working OFWs in  many parts of the world. My fear of being lost is not obvious.  I was dead decided that I am going out so that I my trip will be really worth it.  And I was also sure that I would never get lost.  I just need to follow their instruction on which way to go after getting out of the building. San Malo Addie told me that I can shop in San Malo.  I need to buy a few personal stuff and she said I can get it from San Malo.  I can also change my pesos money to pataca. The downside of not reading ahead of time before coming to a new place, made me think that San Malo is a big mall. lols!  I can still recall the smile of t...

Last year, I really had thought that my 2015 birthday would be a solo trip somewhere. I have not yet decided where. So I booked a back and forth ticket to Manila during the mid-year sale. I was thinking I would go with a group tour to anywhere in Luzon. I asked a friend Harry if he had schedule group tour during these days. He said there is but not yet definite. Then before 2014 ended, I booked a ticket to Macao thinking that in case there is no Luzon tour, I'd go to Macau.  I thought that spending my birthday in Macau – that is if finances will allow me to, would not be bad.  Fast forward to mid-July 2015. I am not yet sure if I will really pursue the trip. July 20, it was my mom’s birthday. I was still undecided. The next day, I remembered my birthday gift from the hospital workers. A Php 20/per worker so I checked it out and indeed there was a certain amount. Calculating the travel tax plus the terminal fees, the amount I received could cover the said costs. Y...

How time flies! I was asleep last night and woke up at 3:45 am only to realized that it is already July! Oh July, I am glad you are here because for so many reasons. Maybe a few I can share it here in this post. First . I love that July is here because this is my birthday month. I am hoping that July will really surprise me. Some dreaded for their birthdays to come. Not for me. Even though I don't celebrate it lavishly like others can afford, but still I am happiness during my natal day. Even if it is a working day and a toxic one, still I am not stopped to tell my friends it is my birthday and happily say "thanks" when they greet me. Second . This is also my mom's birthday. In the past years before she died, I often tried to celebrate her birthday more than I do with mine. I feel hers is real special because three days after her birthday in 1972, she gave birth to me. I was her first baby. :) Third . I just think that people who are having birthday...
