of pregnancy and rehab

We want to start this post with line popularized by our very own former president “I AM (we are so) SORRY!” or better yet change our URL to wearesosorry.com
Two months of AWOL is unacceptable. But we are still strongly denying the rumors that Monette gave birth while I (Ron) was forced to go on a rehab. Now do the math, scandal plus rehab? If those were true then you should have heard us announcing that we booked flights to miami faster than we can even say, hello and f**k yeah …

hello stranger: cebu

I went to Cebu in December 2009 on a trip that was supposed to be with a 5th grade sweetheart I reconnected through Facebook. Everything was set, the dates, the itinerary and she bought the tickets too. Until, a few weeks before going home, she and her sister stopped over in Bangkok and in a spate of bad luck she contracted AH1N1 virus and was hospitalized for two weeks. Needless to say, our trip didn’t pushed through as she needs the remaining one week of vacation leave to be spent …

motherpacker!

No matter where we go, whether it is a short or long road adventure, be it a business trip to Dubai holidays in the Caribbean or backpacking in South East Asia, packing is the single most essential thing that could either make or break our escape. And sometimes, we still go back to the one who knows best and sometimes acts as if she knows everything, but nonetheless we listen to—our Moms.
Here are twelve of the respected seasoned (*cough*hottest) Filipino male travel bloggers and facts that correlates two of the things that have been …

pinoy travelers’ weekend

Who would have known that this September would be one of the most memorable months of our travel blogging experience. Years ago, we would never imagine getting within a hand-span distance from people who live and breathe travel. But the bug hit, and the rest of our not-so-boring, but still boring, lives are history.
First stop was the Solesister’s event “From Glampackers to Poorpackers” where I was invited to talk at the opening night. The topic: “Female Travel.” I know, I know… I felt a bit lost too, but I did try …

the true taste of home

Traveling is not always an escape, at times it is a way to give yourself a chance to miss home. And in my case, it has been a year since the last time I set foot on my native home land.
(sniff sniff) Do I smell homesick? Not quite. As homesick is defined as a mood or sadness characterized with initial signs of depression and melancholy. And I may JUST be missing and craving for some things back home.
Home sick isn’t really in the vocabulary of wanderlusts, we can even live …

traveling solo, devirginized!

When people ask us why we travel together, our answer is plain and simple. We travel together because we complement each other in a lot of ways.
We tell stories in our own styles, we crave different adventures stretching wide across the id-anal continuum; one has a hunger for exotic food adventure while the other is contented with a quaint quiet time on the dinner table; one gravitates toward extreme activities and the other will fall silent in a cozy corner with a good book at hand. It is a good …

Hello Stranger (Part 3): Sagada, Philippines

“how do they come to the
come to the
come to the God
come to the still waters,
and not love the one who came there with them…”
~sharon olds, “sex without love” 

our eyes moved in hunger, and it was not to fill the emptiness that sat in our guts. you were spontaneity and you attracted me completely. 
so that was how it felt like to surrender to fate; to let myself get lulled by beer and your voice that talked of your escape from home. you see, i am the world’s sadness collector and nobody …

paoay, oh why?!

This is my entry to the 2nd Pinoy Travel Bloggers’s Blog Carnival with the theme “Quaint towns in the Philippines” currently hosted by RV ESCAT of livinginabackpack.blogspot.com.

We entered the town of Paoay and I immediately noticed silence, like someone pressed the mute button. I checked my wrist watch to make sure it wasn’t siesta. It felt like we were entering a movie set of Shake, Rattle and Roll and I was compelled to give my friends a second look to make sure I am not not with Ana Roces, Manilyn Reynes, …

surviving caramoan (episode 2)

To give you an idea on how Caramoan appeals to the international market, watch this primer of Survivor Serbia in 2009.

We spent the first day hopping from one island to another, jumping shots after shots, it was a vacation like no other. That’s because this time around we were with two of the most fabulous guest travelers and good friends of ours. Jeff is a fashion b*tch and blogger from Vancouver Canada and Santi is a fashion designer and runner-up of Project Runway Philippines season 2–(READ: BAKLA).

The first day was …
