My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Yesterday we spent some time trying to figure out what we should do – stay here in Boracay for another six days or head to somewhere else like Cebu. After some searching and consideration of transportation challenges (sea, air, luggage, etc.), we decided to go ahead and stay here. So, I looked online to book the same hotel again since it is cheaper to get the rates online than to do it in…

  • The sun still seems to be hiding, though we did see a slight glimmer of it in the late afternoon into dusk. We tried out one of the buffets on offer down by the White Beach area. It was okay, though the lack of breeze allowed the bugs to give me an annoying sense of formication throughout the meal, so I couldn’t enjoy it as much. However, it is always good to get…

  • The weather has been cloudy the last couple of days, so it is not so inspiring to do much at the beach or even the pool…. So, not much to say about the day, but here are some pics from the afternoon. [sthumbs=3738|3739|3740|3741|3742|3743|3745|3746|3747|3748|3749|3750|3751|3752|3753,max,3,y,center,]

  • Our days seem to focus mostly on being pool-side and then a venture down to the D’Mall. I need to remember to take a better picture of the D’Mall area, but anyway, yesterday wasn’t really too exciting. I got up reasonably early for breakfast and then did some work until my computer battery died by the pool. [simage=3733,200,c,center,] However, one interesting aspect to note about Boracay so far is the number of Asian…

  • Day 5 A day of recovery from the crazy White Russians was required. So, it was mostly a pool day. We did manage to go down to D’Mall for some pizza dinner and we explored the beachfront a bit more. However, that was about all the excitement for the day. 😀 [simage=3701,200,n,center,] Oh, we did see this bunny near our hotel room…crazy wildlife of Boracay? [simage=3702,200,n,center,][simage=3703,200,n,center,] Day 6 We did get a bit…

  • Day 3 On Saturday, R and I just relaxed and hung out in the Makati area without venturing too far out. We didn’t really do anything of interest and thus  didn’t take many photos, but it was a good day to relax and to save up energy. Little did we know what the next day would bring…. [sthumbs=3674|3675|3676|3677|3678,max,3,y,center,] Day 4 The day started off reasonably easily as we headed to the airport to…

  • After a brief rest in the morning, I had originally planned to just do some exploring of the immediate area of Makati. However, when I requested a map from the front desk asking how to get to different parts of town, they suggested that I do a three-hour tour where I could see the highlights of Manila for about 56USD. So, I thought it was probably a better idea to spend the money…

  • I arrived last night in Manila and am staying in the Makati area of town. Since I arrived late, I do not yet have an pics to share, but my first impressions are as follows: *People are quite friendly, though not necessarily helpful *Crossing the street seems to be an act of taking your life into your hands or pure craziness – I haven’t yet attempted outside, but will soon and can report…

  • I am trying to continue to catch up on posts in my ‘draft’ box that I set aside to write on later while mixing in posts about my current life adventures. So, forgive me if I seem a little more random than usual. A while ago, I was catching up on the blogs/websites that I try to follow and came across this 8Asians article on Third Culture Asian-Americans. It was a perfect read for…

  • It has been too long since I last saw my BFF and so when I found out that my flight allowed for a layover in Japan and then we could head to Oregon together, there was no question about what I would do. The past few weeks have been filled with fun! Time in Japan:     Seattle Road Trip: Happy hour was a must and major pampering at Gene Juarez! On the…
