where I blog about the fun things I do to entertain myself…

safety on the road

This guy seems to have plenty of extra time in his hands. Everyday without fail, he would send email (sometimes more than one!) to all the people in his mailing list. The subjects are varied; health, political, spiritual, funny stories and even safety tips… He recently sent several images with the email subject [...]


summer travel plans

As soon as the calendar hit the month of March, I was already grinning ear to ear. In a few weeks, Spring will be here! It will be time to say goodbye to the cold weather. I’m already excited about the coming warm days because it means that we can go on trips [...]


on the road with sugar cane trucks

Driving in our locality can be dangerous. There are many big trucks plying the roads, carrying sugar canes from the farm to the mill which are usually fully loaded that causes the trucks to tilt to one side. They have also become a nuisance in the road because they not only are dangerous [...]


new york, new york!

Sight-seeing in New York could lead you to many interesting places. In the uptown part alone, you’d be able to see the Central Park, the Central Park Zoo, Guggenheim Museum, and Lincoln Center. The downtown area has also places to boast of like Time Square, the Statue of Liberty, Little Italy, Chinatown, Empire State Building, [...]

When you’re riding on a plane, do you ever [...]


in search for a reasonable airfare

This week we’ve been contacting travel agents asking for price quotations for our planned travel this December. I know it’s kind of late to be booking at this month, considering that December is only two months away and it’s a peak season for travelling.
One agent was quick enough to respond. The [...]


documenting your travel

We humans are such social bugs that we can’t keep our mouth shut especially if we’re too excited to tell our friends about something, bad or good we’ve experienced. Like my friend who for the first time in her life went on a trip to Hongkong. When she was back, all she can talk about [...]


dreaming of a cruise

I still have many travel wishes waiting to be realized. One of which is to experience what it’s like to be on a cruise. To visualize my dream, I went to look on some European cruises to get an idea how much it costs. Most of the departure ports are Italy or Spain. Since we’re [...]


let’s hop on a bus!

Who wants to join me? I’m going to hop on a bus and go around the city today. I’ve got a ticket which lets me ride any mode of transportation for an hour. I guess it will be enough time for me to see all the interesting sights around my place; that is, if I [...]


traveling woes

I wish traveling isn’t that expensive. With the high cost of fuel, travel fares have also raised which makes traveling a bit harder to achieve. This summer alone, we’ve spent a considerable amount of money on gas as we’re almost out every weekend to some far off places to tour. But compared to airfare, our road [...]
