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).

The Windmills of Pililla and the Natural Beauty of Tanay

Pililla & Tanay, RIZAL

Date: APR 09, 2019

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.

Daraitan: Tanay's Hidden Jewel

Date: JUN 21-22, 2014

I didn’t know how group tours work and I didn’t know how exciting it was – until this day. Thanks to my officemate who shared her great experiences while joining a group tour. This will be the first time ever that I’ll go on a trip with people I’ve never met, and an exciting adventure awaits us deep within the mountain ranges of Sierra Madre.

The Beginning of an Epic Northern Journey

10 Day 10K Challenge: Taytay, RIZAL

Date: MAY 17-26, 2014

I plotted a week-long leave back at the office, and my mind just gave me an awesome idea on where to spend my next vacation – North Luzon! This is not an extraordinary trip, because I am planning to visit all provinces north of Metro Manila (except Batanes) in 10 days with a budget of at least P10, 000. This trip would also be my post-birthday gift to myself. 21 years on Earth, 21 provinces on the list. This will be an EPIC ROAD TRIP!
