My Lakbayan Map

I am a certified avid reader of Pinoy travel blogs. My regular net browsing, particularly during lazy bed weather days, includes reading articles from my favourite travel blog sites: Lakwatsero, Pinaysolobackpacker, Soloflighted,Iwanderiwonder & Journeying James. Philippine tourist destinations are often promoted in these websites wherein the bloggers have their unique,wonderful and interesting way of sharing their travel  and tips.

In Journeying James journal, James' lakbayan Philippine map was mostly shaded with blue, a graphic representation of places he had visited. Undeniably, he covered almost all places in the Philippines.To assess my current standing as a traveler, I also created my own lakbayan map and tantananan.... here it is....

Meet Bo Sanchez at The Feast

Every start of the year, I make it a habit to write down the goals I want to accomplish, the things I want to do and the places I want to visit. In my 2009 journal, included in my to-do-list is to attend one of Brother Bo Sanchez’s talks. I am a big fan of Bo and it is my dream to see him in person. I watch his preachings on tv regularly and I find his talks very inspiring, what more if it’s live?

Better late than never, I was able to put a check on this item this 2012. In the office, I constantly receive e-mails of daily dose from Bro. Bo’s blog, thanks to gwen! (“_”) This serves as a cue to complete my 2009 outstanding assignment. Fortunately,I have another officemate who is part of the Life of Jesus family, the community of Brother Bo. She informed me that Brother Bo is regularly conducting his talks (The Feast) at the PICC for free.

Boracay Island, Philippines in Travelers Choice Beaches Awards

Boracay is hailed as the 2^nd Best Beach Destination in the World in the recently concluded 2011 Travelers' Choice® Beaches awards. Travelers all over the world, particularly the Europeans, Koreans, and the Filipinos, love to visit the beautiful island of Boracay. It is undoubtedly more fun in the Philippines! 

BORACAY not BORA, Boracay Island, Philippines

I previously worked as a researcher in a transport group company and my job gave me the privilege to travel in different parts of the country. During this time, my wanderlust was born. 

In the summer of 2006, we had a trip in Iloilo and most of the tourists in our ferry trip were on their way to the famous island of Boracay. As we touched down Iloilo and while we were having our breakfast at Iloilo City Lapaz Bachoy, we envied the tourists who were busy chatting about Boracay, so we had an on-the-spur of the moment decision to have a side trip on this famous beach. The decision was really abrupt! With no travel plans at all and no idea of the travel time and how to go there. We were 4 in the group and the 3 of us were first timers. Since it was a great opportunity at hand, we did not hesitate with our decision to visit Boracay.
