    True to my goal this year, I wanted to visit Bangkok! Luckily, my friend Reg booked a low fare flight in Cebu Pacific that made our trip possible. Again, as usual our trip was a DIY plan so we were able to experience the joy and difficulty of commuting in Bangkok. Bangkok Itinerary 4D/3N September…

    Now, after the European travel series, I take you to the Land of the Rising Sun, Japan! Konnichiwa! – a Japanese greeting that means “hello”. I went to Japan in 2007 and 2008 and experienced 3 seasons: Winter, Spring and Summer. I only lack one season which is Fall/Autumn. In time, I’ll experience that too.…

    Ciao Bella! Indeed, Rome is one of the beautiful places to see! No other city comes close. It may no longer be caput mundi (capital of the world), but Rome is an epic, bubbling-over metropolis harbouring lost empires. One visit and you’ll be hooked. Rome has a glorious monumentality that it wears without reverence. Its architectural…

    We arrived in Lourdes in the afternoon of August 2005. We rode a coach from Paris. We were transferred to Hotel Saint Sauveur and free time in the afternoon. So we just brought our luggages inside our designated rooms and then we’re off for another adventure. Lourdes is famous for the Marian apparitions of Our Lady…

    Bienvenue à Paris! That’s how you say “Welcome to Paris!” in French. I went to Paris together with the other delegates of UST as part of our pilgrimage after the World Youth Day celebration in Germany. Paris is the capital and largest city in France, situated on the river Seine, in northern France, at the…

    I happened to recover my previous blog. I will repost it with minimal edits so as not to destroy the momentum. I was laughing hard when I read it because of the lack of information compared to Roan’s blog. Anyway, no time for comparison now, here’s my own version of the 20th World Youth Day…

    As of writing, my friend Zeny is enjoying and celebrating the 26th World Youth Day in Madrid, Spain. She is a delegate of the Archdiocese of Manila since there will be no official delegates from the Pontifical University. Accompanied by delegates from different parishes under the Diocese of Manila, they will definitely feel the spirit…

    Our next stop in China is Shanghai. Unlike Beijing, where we saw old culture of China, Shanghai is the modern part of China. I booked a flight from Beijing to Shanghai via China Eastern in the internet and found Shanghai flat rentals too. Good thing I chose China Eastern over China Southern. Our guide told…

    On our third day, nothing much happened compared to what we did on our first day. Today, we’re off to the Summer Place and Wangfujing Shopping Center. The weather is hot and humid that time so our energy was sucked by the heat of the sun! I’d rather sit on a corner and just enjoy…
