Two years ago, my husband Marc and I visited Hongkong Disneyland Resort for our honeymoon. It was a gift from one of our wedding sponsors, so all we had to do was enjoy and spend for our pasalubong and gadget shopping. As we welcome the year 2009, I cannot help but be reminded of the fireworks display held regularly in the evenings before closing time at Hongkong Disneyland.

There’s just something really uplifting about seeing an awesome lights and fireworks display accompanied by Disney music we’ve enjoyed since childhood. More…

For surface water sports enthusiasts, Bulabog Beach is the place to be in Boracay Island, Aklan. The winds are stronger here—especially during the rainy season—the perfect weather condition for windsurfing and kite boarding.

This narrow strip of beach is parallel to the more popular White Beach. White Beach faces west, while Bulabog Beach the east. You can easily reach Bulabog Beach from the other side by crossing through a narrow road. More…

For our second wedding anniversary, my husband Marc and I treated ourselves to a three-nights-four-days relaxation at White Beach in Boracay, which is part of the province of Aklan. Boracay is famous for its beaches—white crystal sand and clear blue waters—and White Beach is the most popular of all.

No wonder it’s a popular tourist destination. Even in non-summer months, people still flock to Boracay; some for its sea-side night life, others for its beautiful beaches. Marc and I went there during the last week of November (which isn’t supposed to be peak season), and yet we still saw quite a number of people at the beach. More…

The Philippine Eagle Center in Davao City is home to the Philippine Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi), one of the most powerful—and one of the largest—eagles in the world. Its local name is banog, and also known as “Haribon” or “Hari ng Ibon,” which means “Bird King.” In 1995, under Proclamation No. 615, President Fidel V. Ramos named the eagle as the national bird of the Philippines.

Unfortunately, poachers and deforestation pushed this magnificent bird into being critically endangered. The Philippine Eagle now have to be bred in captivity. Their cages are built with more than enough space in order to mimic their natural habitat, which would help them adapt easier when they’re released into the wild. More…

I finally had the time to create a custom theme for this blog :) The free theme I was using before was nice, but it wasn’t something I made—I try as much as possible to find time to create custom themes for my blogs. Since, I am after all, a full-time web designer when I’m not off traveling.

The look and feel I decided was based on the travel blog design trend (dirty paper look), but I made sure it had a touch of green. I like green—it’s so relaxing—and the color also gives the blog a “nature” feel.

Hope you like it :) There are still some kinks and what-not’s that need to be polished, so do forgive the minor bugs. I’m still finishing up some codes for this site.

My husband and I recently got back from our second wedding anniversary vacation in Boracay. He got me my own camera, so you can expect a lot of photos soon :)
