		<description><![CDATA[It was one of those waking moments when I thought I was still trapped in la-la land because the text message that woke me up read something like, &#8220;we are being invited to guest on a TV show. Get your ass online.&#8221; So I staggered in the middle of the night and checked our email. Lo and behold, it was true. But then as I scanned the message, the taping dates fell on the dates Ron and I will celebrate his birthday in God-knows-where. I contacted the researcher and our chance of making ourselves ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was in college, all I could think of when hearing the name Sri Lanka was the place where Ravana took Sita after abducting her away from Rama and Lakshman. In my professor&#8217;s version of Ramayana, Ravana took a big leap from India to get to Lanka. In other versions, Ravana shoved Sita inside his Pushpaka vimana, man-handled a giant peacock, and used it to fly back to his kingdom. What is regarded as a discovery of something which was not sought but was nevertheless found is perhaps what makes ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Previously, on Fliptravels:
We were both drifting fast to La-la land when I asked Monette…
Ron: We booked a round trip ticket right?
Monette: Yeah&#8230;
Ron: Is it (the return ticket) with you?
Monette: No…
Both: HOH CRAP!!!
And so we endured half of the five-hour trip to Mui Ne with shooting BPs as we don’t know how we can get hold of our return tickets. At the pit stop, I quickly took my caffeine fix; and with closed eyes, called our hotel that booked us the tour (Ron also had to call them to make sure ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I stepped out of Bandaranaike International Airport with all the soot and grime of Manila, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and of course, Sri Lanka. Four airports, three plane rides, damning heat of the summer sun, one 1-hour bus ride, and one 4-hour bus ride in 24 hours should be enough to drive me to pick an axe and decapitate Ron, or anybody who crosses my way. But since that was our first out-of-South East Asia trip together, I restrained myself lest be banned from going out of the country.


The bittersweet journey started ...]]></description>

&#8220;The brighter the sunlight, the deeper the shadows&#8230;&#8221; ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


The long and winding road did not lead me to the significant other&#8217;s door, but to the yard of Batik Painting Art Centre by Hery&#8217;s. It was the day I met my guide who led me to the inner streets without telling me where we were going. I was so ready to show my ninja moves if he was ever going to try something. But he didn&#8217;t, and my kunai stayed hidden under my clothes.

The place is a batik ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The streets of Jogjakarta smelled of whisper in the middle of the day. As I quietly traced its pavements, they turned into more audible sounds and I felt like I was taking crazy pills heightened by my hangover from the last night. The walls seemed to talk.


I walked the stretch of Malioboro until it led me to The Kraton, or Sultan&#8217;s Palace, a symbol of ensuring that the harmony between the court and the divine forces of the universe is intact. The courtyards mirror the ocean that surrounds the main pavilion, which in turn represents ...]]></description>

&#8220;If you are what you eat, then we are FAST, CHEAP AND DIRTY!!!&#8221; ~Ron Cruz

Somehow, I don&#8217;t think that is what Brillat-Savarin wanted to say&#8230; But I have to admit liking fast and cheap food, though the concept of eating sometimes escapes me. The dirty part is just an added bonus, like the fly on top of the cherry that is on top of the cake. Yummy!

My gastronomic trip led me to sit down Bladok restaurant on my first night in Jogjakarta. Since the food was a bit expensive, I decided ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is one thing that ticks me off when I travel, and that is being asked the never ending question of why I am alone (except, of course, when I travel with Ron, then WE suffer the question: &#8220;how long have you guys been dating?&#8221; Ugh!). Sometimes, people get clever and would ask me if I am meeting a friend when I get to my destination. I open a can of worms the moment I answer, &#8220;No.&#8221; Then follows the question of my civil status; of why, at my age, ...]]></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>

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>
