You’ve probably heard other people say this so many times before, but let me say it too: Oh how I love traveling! The thought excites me like nothing else. I check online bookings every now and again to look for cheap flights, and sometimes I just get caught up watching the Discovery Travel & Living and Living Asia channels, just like the Super Girl. If I can afford it, and if there’s no ‘work’ that gets in the way, I would plan trips to places in the Philippines every month — to get lost in a strange city, walk around, and just take pictures. Or maybe fly to a nearby country (so long as Cebu Pacific continually offers Seat Sale!) for a bit of a challenge. The thought of finding my way in a foreign land using only a map, signs and a travel guide, and dealing with foreign-speaking locals does not bother me.
Here are the places I’ve been to this summer:
Mae and I almost decided to fly to Cagayan de Oro for Labor Day weekend. We wanted to experience the renowned whitewater rafting, and to finally set foot in Mindanao(!!!). But since May 1st is only two weeks away, round trip airfare costs P5,000 or more. Eek. Maybe next time then.
I find it fun exploring the Philippines, cos it’s one thing to be proud of your country just by sitting in a chair and watching TV — whole other thing to actually get up from your chair, go places, and witness the “beauty” first-hand. LOVE YOUR OWN!
I wish I had more trips to tourist destinations in the Philippines in the remaining days of the summer. But due to the peak season still in full swing, I shouldn’t even bother checking the airline websites. Looking forward to other trips I’ve scheduled later this year, though.
Let’s Find Some Beautiful Place To Get Lost
Was tagged by Riz to browse through my stock photos, find that one place I want to go back to this very minute, put the words, “Let’s find some beautiful place to get lost” on it, then post it up. I choose Malaysia.
I regret that I only spent less than 24 hours in this country. Checking on travel websites now, there’s obviously more to Malaysia than just Sunway Lagoon, the famous Petronas Twin Towers, and the KL Tower. I would love the chance to go back and check out other spots.
Where have you been and where are you off to this summer? :)
I want to travel too! Hopefully next year (or later this year), I can do more of that :P
Ang sarap mag travel :)
Siguro kung mrami lang kami pera, monthly din kami umaalis.. hehe!

I’ve never been anywhere yet this year! (Waaah!)
Good thing I’m going with my officemates to Pinatubo this weekend! :-D
ako? nag summer din ako. sa body of water sang espana sang nag ulan. i tink that was a sign na i need to have a vacation this summer. naks. haha!
yes travelling! esp if it’s for free! hehehe.
i enjoy going to places..but i usually am comatose in the bus/plane ride, masarap yung feeling na when i wake up at para lang nagteleport sa ibang lugar na HINDI na manila.
of course the company makes the difference when you’re travelling. and… i prefer travelling for a purpose not just for sight seeing, say camps or reunions or food tripping. para two-three-many birds with one stone
Those are very nice and wonderful places! I hope I can also travel to (at the most) one of those this year :D So much for the courage to travel and explore new destinations. :D
Wow, you’ve been to lots of places! :) Idol talaga kita pagdating sa travelogues mo. You take awesome pictures and you write really well. :) This summer all I’ve been to is Baguio, haha, and I was there pa on a business trip. :P Thanks for this free sightseeing trip courtesy of your blog :) God bless!
