Camotes Island - No Plan Overnight

Then again, going on a trip without a plan is coming into a war without a pair of boots on. But my friend said it wasn't war so I went with her.

It was around 7pm when we reached Consuelo port. Habal-habal and Tricycle drivers are queuing - lots of them. So booking ahead is a coward's nest. 😁The habal-habal driver led us to a nearby accommodation - 800.00/night, with TV and Aircon, a clean bathroom, a carenderia outside, a sari-sari store across! No worries!

We booked the same driver for the tour the next day! 😚

Here are the places we went to:

1. Lake Danao - We came earlier than other tourists so the place brought so much tranquility in me.

2. Timubo Cave - Yes. We're earlier again so I could hear cave sounds and water sounds and echoes and it was creepy but mesmerizing!

3. Buho Rock - My friend couldn't swim so I decided to dip alone. I wanted to jump off the rock but no one's gonna wait me down.

4. Paraiso Cave- Some tourists were already inside so the place didn't look attractive to me. 😂

4. Santiago Bay - The shoreline was indeed wide and long. But at the time, the water was shallow (I mean low tide besh) so we had to walk longer miles to reach the waters hahahahaha

So that's it! It was worth the try. What a great trip to start the year. 💕

Filipino Stores and Restaurants in Tokyo

For somebody who craves for Filipino food and snacks from time to time, here are the stores I frequent to. I can only share a limited perspective but solely based on my experiences. Read on! Filipino Stores 1. Asia Yaosho (Kabukicho, Shinjuku) While they mostly have Filipino products, they also sell Thai goods. I think their prices are a little lower than the other Filipino stores I've tried. However, they have limited stocks and they often run out of items that I usually need, like Bearbrand. 😁 Credits: This photo is from this website . 2. Ameyoko Center Underground Marekt (Ueno) This market is heaven for Southeast Asians. They have a lot of varieties, dry goods, frozen meat, and even fresh seafood. There are also two Filipino stores in the area. They sell more items than Asia Yaosho but they are a bit pricey. Credits: Photo is from this website. The market is underground. The entrance is on the side of this building at the center of this photo. 3....

Summer: Warm Encounters

This year's summer break has been the best I've had in Japan or at least ever since I got to spend for my trips on my own. But while scanning through a thousand travel photos on my phone and camera, I realized that travel is made even more special with people you are with and those you encounter. Izumo, Shimane Other than its quiet and laidback atmosphere, the beauty of Izumo lies on its people. Our going there wasn't as carefully planned as it should have been. It's much farther from Tokyo and would honestly cost us more. But my oneechan convinced me that it will be worthwhile. I also happen to have a friend living in Izumo and I thought it will be a good opportunity for a catch up. This Izumo friend drove us around and went out of her way for us to be able to spend a memorable day around the area. She as usual welcomed us with warmth and excitement sharing the history and stories of her hometown here and there. She is also naturally funny. Her quirks still make me gi...

Lessons in Spring

It's almost summer vacation and I have been planning on so many things to do for the long holiday but I have to sit down and write all the experiences worth remembering in spring. HAKONE I stumbled upon this blog post that suggested a walk through the old Tokaido road would be fascinating. It would also be a less stressful trip to Hakone as it is an off the beaten path. So I forced myself to walk through the old road that actually leads you to lake Ashi. It took about two hours of both feeling scared and excited. I was feeling nauseous in my stomach. The paved road uphill gave me an adrenaline rush. It was sunny and the air was cool. It was a good day to hike. There was a warning sign of bear sightings. I don't know why but that's the least of my concerns. In fact, what scared me more is the idea of bumping into a suspicious person along the way. Aren't humans scarier than animals? Life lesson: Travel alone. A lot . CHICHIBU A road trip through the mountains of Chichi...
