To find out that we have been selected as one of the finalists in this year&#8217;s Philippine Blog Awards was enough for us to drop our delicates while walking to our respective offices&#8230;
Yes, we want to say it: We did not expect this&#8230;
Why? Because a year ago, somebody mentioned that our blog is full of rated contents. Let&#8217;s just say you would not recommend us to people below 21 years old, doing research on travel.
But hey, that just makes the nomination and being quoted on the final list, and National ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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 ...]]></description>

Make me moan, Caramoan&#8230;
~Santi Obcena

Fresh from the trip to Ilo-Ilo a week before, Ron and I decided to bring Jeff to Caramoan Islands. Together with Santi, we huddled at terminal 3 an hour before departure. As always, Ron had to be late&#8230; We had to do unbelievable stunts to keep the counters open till Ron arrived. And he did, in the nick of time&#8230;
After a short plane ride to Naga Airport, we hit the road and immediately looked for a place to eat.

Kinunot, stewed shark and stingray meat.

Pinangat, taro leaves ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Filled with loathsome La Paz Batchoy soup, we decided to move along to get to our next destination, the Beach. Finally&#8230;
We hopped on a cab to take us to the bus terminal in Jaro and labored about 2 and a half hours of sweltering bus ride to the isolated town of Concepcion. We unfortunately planted ourselves beside the window so that when we went down the bus, the skin color of our left arms are nowhere near our right&#8217;s. We were dropped off at the wet market where our contact ...]]></description>

April is the cruelest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots and spring rain.
~t.s. eliot, the waste land


It was late afternoon in 1991, when I noticed that the window in my room is covered with what seemed to be like a thin layer of flour. I went out to find out what&#8217;s happening. It was like snowing, but the falling specks was dry and not cold. I also noticed that the car parked outside was covered with what looked like confectioner sugar. I wiped a ...]]></description>

I value my alone time so much that when Ron and I and some friends from the office went to Ilocos, I stayed one more day while everybody went home. As was expected, I had a blast.
The morning of my alone day was spent in coffee and cigarettes while playing with our dog Coco in our house in Vintar. It was a was a Sunday and the flee market ...]]></description>

Faro Cabo Cape Bojeador, Burgos, Ilocos Norte
Our journey to the north found its first stop at Cape Bojeador in Burgos, Ilocos Norte. Sitting on top of Vigia de Nagparitan hill, it is considered to be the highest positioned lighthouse in the Philippines, also the most visited. Its light marks the northwestern corner of the island of Luzon, guiding ships traveling from South China Sea.

rest your heart along the banks of my chest
be still, be silent, be weak

infinity
when my demented heart finds yours,
we shall know immortality.

portents
it is your silence that scares me most
&#8230;its is your calm before my storm

blown
you have taken my breath away
and scattered my skin into million pieces&#8230;

flight
to you who defied gravity,
your soul is boundless

glide
you move like your fingers turning the pages of an old old book, gentle and quiet.
me, looking at you as you absentmindedly place your fingers to your lips,
wetting it to ease the passing of time.

Here, the famous Typhoon Shelter Crab was born, a cuisine raved about by many including &#8220;No Reservations&#8221; host Anthony Bourdain. Of course you need not book a flight to China to get hold of those amazing crabs.

Besides, there should be more room for booze in my tummy than lots of deliciously loathsome oysters.
