When your friend’s friend invited only 2 person and you know whose always available!! jajajajajaja
So you need to keep it a secret ….
It was a long trip yet worth the time and effort. From Puerto Princessa airport, we travelled through van for 6 hours going to El Nido. There is direct flight to El Nido but it bit expensive. And from what I’ve heard there’s another airport that will open in San Vicente which is closer to El Nido.
I’ve never planned on going to Taiwan actually. Didn’t know much about this country. I just heard news once in a while about them and how they insist on claiming their independence to China. It only got my attention when I watched Meteor Garden and Fated to Love You drama.
I heard the news about their visa-free for Filipino traveler but didn’t mind it. As I’ve said, It was never my plan. My officemate heard that they will extended their program and since we received our incentives from the office, we booked right away.
The Arrival! Hello Taiwan!!
Day 1 – City Tour Exlporing the City of Taipei
We didn’t planned everything. We only book for accommodation 1 or 2 weeks before the flight :D. We Book Klook on our first day there. for our City tour
Day 2 The suburbs area.
Like I’ve said, we didn’t planned our trip. It’s a last minute booking. Ron, my office, he was the one to find tour package when we get there. Lucky for us, he found a tour guide manage by a Filipina. Ate and her Taiwanese husband are so nice. Our tour package includes meryenda and lunch 🙂 They even offered to left over

Indeed, I LOVE TAIWAN. The people are so disciplined. They follow and obey the rules. There’s alot of places to visit. Will definitely go back.
2JAM goes to Cebu.
It was spur of the moment (hahaha) decision to booked our flight. Although we have been planning to visit somewhere down south.
Thanks for local airlines we were able to go beyond our usual getaway. You just have to subscribe and be patient checking seat sales.
Since its been a year and its just now I was able to update this blog since it’s not part of my work anymore, I’ll just post pics. Besides, I’m only in-charge to book the airlines and they take care of everything.
Let’s summarize the whole thing. We arrived at Cebu International Airport around 1 -2 am in the morning then we headed straight to Bantayan Island (northern part)
We want DIY tour so we didn’t booked for accommodation. The one that we planned to stay which they get from blogs suggestions were already fully booked. The pedicab driver help us find hotel.
Octong Cave
Bantayan Island beach..<3 ❤ (who wouldn’t love this find sand beach)
We stayed in the island for 1 night only and head back to the city the next day. 🙂
The City Tour
Magellan’s Cross
Sto Niño Church
To get here we took habal-habal with side trip to Temple of Leah. and Chinese Temple.
Well of course, we’re just an ordinary employees much as we want to stay longer and explore more of Cebu, we can’t afford it.jajajaja. We need to save again for our next adventure.
Indeed I love Cebu
I will definitely come back. Until next time, Cebu!
“Life is partly what we made, and partly what we made with the friends we choose”
I first went to Sagada and neighboring provinces back in late 90’s during college days. I spent every school break with my aunt to baby sit for my cousins in Northern region. Not only they love to travel, it’s also because part of the job they travel mostly every weekend. That’s where I begun to love traveling.
Thanks goodness, today joining other travelers and many agencies, it’s more affordable now.
Coda Lines is the only bus going straight to Sagada. But you can take Baguio trip then, take bus to Sagada.
Who would have known that this pandemic will happened. And it will be this long up to this moment. I was invited by the same friend who invited me to Palawan . And the usual we were just tagged along by her cousin this time.
I’ve been Baguio many times before. And It’s been more than 1 decade since my last visit. I don’t remember exactly. There’s alot of changes. Too commercialized, crowded, and more traffic.
It’s easier to travel by land now that there’s this called “Joiners”. It’s a tour guide like 13 to 15 people in a van. They are posting on Facebook who would want to join. Although I’m not sure if this is legally operating but it’s much much cheaper.

This is way back Dec. 5, 2015. It was my first plane ride and my first trip abroad. And not knowing anything about it, I missed my plane. HAAHAHAHa. I didn’t research about what to do at the airport that’s why it happened :D. I have to book for the last trip flight. Luckily there are still available seats. I’ve met an OFW going to Malaysia while waiting on boarding area and she’s the one assisting me at the plane. She even asked the guy who’d pick her up to send me off to the bus going to KLCC.
My cousin who was working there at that time, invited me to come and visit her. We’re close to each other and it’s her first time being away from home and she’s feeling homesick so I went.
I arrived Kuala Lumpur 1:30am. I’ve took the bus to KLCC and arrived around 2am. I was hesitant to call my cousin first because it’s already late. I’d decided to stay at the restaurant. After a few minutes I saw them started cleaning so I have no choice but the call my cousin. Only then I realized that I was not successfully activated my number to roaming. My tablet and phone was run out of battery. The Indian guy from the restaurant lend me his phone to call my cousin.
I walked to the meeting place my cousin asked me to which is at the entrance of train station. There I’ve met a local girl waiting for the train to open. She was from the suburbs and working in the city as a sales lady. Malaysians and Filipinos look the same so she thought I was local. jajajaja
Knowing someone from there saved a lot of trouble and money. yay! Finally I’ve got the chance to see Petronas Tower which I only read on the book when I was studying. Back then it was the highest building in Asia.
Around Kuala Lumpur
“Small things done is better than big things planned”
I have too many plans, too many things to do. Maybe that’s the reason I can’t start a single step to do it.. So I guess for now I have to do this one by one. Small things..
Though plan is not really yet clear. AT least I have to start making a step forward doing it.
For the start, I am planning to do something NEW to me… every month. Hope this help me make all things I want to do..
Its something things I want to do, place, eat, food etc..
I don’t have specific plan. But it’s something I can accomplish every month. Small or big things, the important thing is I DID SOMETHING NEW…
My #attitude will always be based on how you treat me http://ow.ly/i/2Z0OF
“I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re goin’, and hook up with them later. ” – Mitch Hedberg
He’s fought and he’s fallen
He’s on his knees before he’s on his feet
A sinister romantic
Oh, he’s about to be and she’s about to see
Teachin’ torches to burn bright
She’s hanging on the cheek of night
A snowy dove trooping with crows
He never saw true beauty till tonight
CHORUS:
She’ll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh, don’t you know it
Oh, don’t you know it
So he falls in love to feel that he’s falling
She’ll let him know his heart
Oh, don’t you know it
Oh, don’t you know it
That’s Shakespeare in love
He’s fought and he’s fallen
He’s on his knees before he’s on his feet
A glittery romantic
Oh, he’s about to be and she’s about to see
His bounty’s boundless like the sea
His love is endless, just as deep
The more he gives the more he has
`Cause both of them are truly infinite
CHORUS:
She’ll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh, don’t you know it
Oh, don’t you know it
So he falls in love to feel that he’s falling
She’ll let him know his heart
Oh, don’t you know it
Oh, don’t you know it
That’s Shakespeare in love
That’s Shakespeare in love
A sinister romantic
He’s on his knees before he’s on his feet
CHORUS:
She’ll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh, don’t you know it
Oh, don’t you know it
So he falls in love to feel that he’s falling
She’ll let him know his heart
Oh, don’t you know it
Oh, don’t you know it
That’s Shakespeare in love
That’s Shakespeare in love
