And because the place is really huge, about 690-hectare according to its website, we only explored some of its areas due to limited time. Pine Tress Everywhere The Camp...

It started as a joke that we’ll visit the famous places in the Philippines alphabetically and we’ll start with the Bs. Funny how it was all materialized (Bacolod, Bohol, Boracay) and we are down to our last “B” destination – Baguio City! And guess what, we did our version of DIY Baguio tour.

Due to limited time, we decided to travel by night to save time plus accommodation too! *grin* We arrived in the terminal around 9PM and had just enough time to ate our dinner and catch the bus scheduled at 10PM. Fare is Php455 per person from Pasay...

The Ruins in Talisay

It’s the picturesque beauty of The Ruins in Talisay who had captured the interest of my good friends to visit my home province. It started when I shared some pictures of the beautiful Ruins to them and immediately after seeing it, they had asked me if they can visit Bacolod. Actually it has also ignited our desire to travel and discover the beautiful places here in the Philippines and I’m so happy and proud that we visited my home province, Negros Occidental, for our first ever out of the province trip!  Beautiful Ruins Just before dusk at night I’ve visited The Ruins a number of times already and still, I’m in awe of its beauty, every time. The best time to visit the place is around 4:30-6:30PM to witness how the structure looks...

My Kinabuchs Exotic Food Experience

We did our homework around the web before visiting Puerto Princesa and Kinabuchs Grill and Bar was one among the most suggested dining place. A must visit actually especially if you’re in to try some exotic dishes such as crocodile and tamilok. So as planned, we visited the place on our second and last night at the city. As we learned our lesson from our Badjao Seafront experience, we came early this time, at around 6pm just to be specific. Location & Setting Going to Kinabuchs was easy. Since it’s within the city center and along the main street, we just rode the tricycle and paid Php40 at Php10 each. Just as a typical outdoor grill & bar restaurant, the place offers a laid back environment. It has a billiard, bar and dining area...
