My life is far from perfect. I have my ups and downs. I have my fair share of struggles and challenges. But this doesn’t stop me from enjoying life. The past year has been full of meaningful events that made me love life more and more each day.
TRAVELS
A. Thailand- Cambodia Tour (June 4-11)
Thanks to Cebu Pacific’s PISO fare, my sister and I were able to get cheap flights to and from Siem Reap, Cambodia last June 4-11, 2013. Being the backpackers that we were, we took notes, searched places, made our own itinerary and went on our way to Cambodia.
I won't get into details about it since I made the mistake of not blogging about it first thing after the tour. But some of my favorite areas are the following:
- Angkor Wat
- Thailand Grand Palace
- Khao San Road (Lots of clothes to choose from! ^_^ )
- S-21/ Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (This tour was so depressing yet so inspirational too)
- Central Market
- Dream World (My favorite destination in Bangkok!)
B. Coron, Palawan (October 8-10)
This is more of a payment than a tour since I promised my sister, Ate Ivy, that I will pay my share of fare used in our Thailand-Cambodia tour with a domestic tour. We already went here last year but it never got old. I had my sister join our ecotourism educational tour last October 8-10, 2013. It was probably for the best since she likes snorkelling— and let’s just say that I’m not in a close relationship with any water creatures. ^_^ My sister got her tour. My students got a chaperone. Win-win situation for me. We revisited:
- Mount Tapyas
- Kayangan Lake
- Twin Peek Reefs
- Calachuchi Coral Garden
- Hidden Lagoon
- CYC Beach
- Malcapuya Island
C. Baguio City (November 4-8)
For a family who loves travelling, this was the first time that we were able to go out of town with our Papa. We’ve been here before and we stayed on the same guest house so walking around wasn’t so hard. Thinking back to November 4-8, 2013, I realize how much more fun it is when you’re not missing a family member in these type of events. NOTE: 59rs Diner is LOVE.
