The Bohol Bee Farm gets its very own post. It’s that special. It’s really a unique place offering organic plants, food products, and locally made handicrafts. The food they serve at the restaurant as well as in the gift store is awesome. Maybe it’s the food-deprived-volunteer in me that’s raving so much but I think… Continue reading »

Sunset in Paradise
I visited Dumaguete, Siquijor, and Bohol a few weeks ago. From Dumaguette we took a boat tour to Apo island where we snorkeled in several spots. I even got to see some gigantic sea turtles!

8th Wonder of the World
…or How I Hiked the Toughest Climb of My Life. A few weeks ago, somewhere close to 28 of us PCVs met in Sagada for a glorious thanksgiving feast. Delicious, wonderful, tasty.

With 5-6 hours ahead of us I passed the time gazing at the awe-inspiring mountain scenery and chatting with one of my good friends. We both agreed that this spur of the… Continue reading »

Weary Traveler
Piles of language books, medical supplies, music sheets, and a random assortment of other items litter any available flat table space. Clothes, worn who knows how many times hang over chairs, desperately needing to be laundered. There’s an explosion of mold in a corner of my room underneath the desk. Its radius has slowly… Continue reading »

Marinduque Adventures
Beside the Moriones Festival, we explored the area a bit for some relaxation and fun. Beautiful beaches, purple starfish, gently swaying palm trees, and bat-filled caves gave our weekend the right amount of island adventures. One of the nights we bought food at the market and grilled our own dinner. Unfortunately, the power went out… Continue reading »

Moriones Festival, Marinduque
Holy Week and Easter is one of my favorite times in the Catholic Church’s liturgical calendar. From traditions like washing the feet of 12 parishioners during the Holy Thursday Mass, to walking the Stations of the Cross, to the solemnity of the Good Friday service, there is something about the familiarity of the rituals, old… Continue reading »

Sunset Surfers
This weekend I went to San Juan for an international surfing competition and of course to just chill out on the beach. Some of my local surfer friends from San Juan were competing in the competition. Unfortunately I didn’t get pictures of the actual competition but I was able to get some good shots of… Continue reading »
