Guess what made Travel and Leisure Magazine's travel bucket list! Best time of the year to visit is during summer in the Philippines, March thru June. And I have heard that it's quite a sight to behold, especially at sunrise. Although I couldn't tell you, as I don't wake up that early when I'm on vacation ;-)!

No one is quite sure how the Chocolate Hills on the island of Bohol in the Philippines came to be. There's no doubting that they're a sight to see. Read more here.

Wow - it has been a little over a year since my last post on this page! Where has time gone? I'm happy to note that my island-hopping adventures to the Philippines continues. And very excited to announce the launching of my new website in mid-February. Until then, stay tuned ;-)!

Practicing taking my picture (Part 2) - when the rooms are $500 per night, eat Halo-Halo instead at the poolside restaurant! - OPE at Shangri-La Boracay.

My deck looks directly out to Coron Island. The views around Balinsasayaw Resort are just that - spectacular.

Not missing winter at all. I can lie here all day. I think I will :-).

I just rode 11 kilometers on this rickety bike. I just realized that now I have to bike back the same distance. I think I will sit here for a while :-).
