FoodTrip ni TJ: Samgyeopmasarap SM North EDSA


Quezon City, METRO MANILA
Date: NOV 14, 2019

The 2019 Geology Board Examinations has come to an end, and my friends wanted to unwind after a stressful three-day exam. Grace suggested that we should check out Samgyeopmasarap – one of the newly opened shops in SM North EDSA’s Lifestyle Center. This is a first-time experience for me and ended up feeling satisfied as pork and chicken flooded our table.

Mirisbiris Garden and Nature Center: Santo Domingo's Hidden Retreat


Santo Domingo, ALBAY
Date: OCT 13, 2019

In my final semester at Partido State University, I will be required to submit a thesis before I graduate. My study is all about the volcanic hazard assessment in Goa, Camarines Sur, and I am lucky because one of the best volcanologists on Earth - Mr. Christopher Newhall - lives nearby. I decided to visit him last October 13, 2019, and gathered ideas on how I should present my study.

FoodTrip ni TJ: Gumbo SM Mall of Asia


Pasay City, METRO MANILA
Date: SEP 10, 2019

Metrodeal offers some of the best vouchers in the country. While browsing the website, I saw a promo that reads “P1000 Worth of Food & Drinks at Gumbo" for only P599. I immediately purchased one voucher and asked my best friend, Aljhon, if he wanted to join. This will be the first time that I will eat at Gumbo, and hopefully, the experience will be worth it.

2019 Geology Board Examination Preparation: The Road Trip from Bicol to Manila


Goa, CAMARINES SUR
Date: JUL 06, 2019

UP Diliman offers a three-month review session for students who will take the Geology Board Exam. My friends paid P5,000 for the review session, and today, we are heading to Quezon City to search for an affordable boarding house where they will stay until October. We had to wake up early in the morning so we can reach Metro Manila by three or four in the afternoon (since Bicol and Metro Manila are ten to twelve hours apart).

Date: MAY 25-26, 2019

My sister, PM, has never been to Baguio City. My Dad decided to take us there for the weekend, and I was so excited since this will be my first time traveling to Baguio City with my family. I’ve been there with my friends several times, but going on a road trip with your family feels different.

It’s my sister’s 24th birthday - and just like last year, the whole family’s going on an out of town trip. We decided to travel further east, visiting the windmills in the town of Pilillia and Daranak Falls in Tanay. We also had a stopover at Cafe Katarina, a well-reviewed restaurant on the mountaintops serving festive Filipino food.

Port Alfred is one of the largest resorts in Partido. The resort has a towering slide, and I’ve always wanted to visit the place.

She invited us to go there tomorrow morning, a couple of hours before I leave Goa for Manila because of my Summer OJT.

Eastern Laguna: When Nature Meets Adventure

Santa Cruz, Pagsanjan, Majayjay & Liliw, LAGUNA
Date: APR 11, 2015

While playing Lakbayan quiz on the internet, I realized that I’ve never been to the towns of Eastern Laguna. That’s why when I had the opportunity to visit these places, I packed my bags right away and left. It did not disappoint me, and in every town that I visited, I saw wonders and magnificent landmarks. Too bad that I only had to visit for a day – which is not enough when checking out the province’s tourist spots!
