We will. We Will, ROCKIES you!

You have to forgive my punny snides. Please don't stop reading my posts. Hahaha.  Anyway, desperate pleas aside, another mountain has been asking for a piece of me and I am much honored to answer its call so off I went to Mount Maculot with Clemenz (who is starting to become my hiking buddy) and another close friend, Dena, who came all the way to Cebu for this (and to attend a conference, too)! Mount Maculot is located at Cuenca, Batangas...

Up to the Monolith We Go!

Aside from my love for running, another outdoor activity that I am fond of (or trying to be fond of) is mountain hiking. I guess it started during my Scouting days back in high school where we used to trek Mount Makiling to the Jamboree site. Maybe something's in the air when you trudge along a rocky path with the sky above blotted out by the canopies of great trees. My community immersion during my senior year in college intensified my love for...

All the Diliman Foods: Intra-Campus Edition

Remember how I venerated UP Diliman for all the beautiful and picturesque places it has inside its campus (it's just an article away, go read 'All the Diliman Feels' :D)? Now that my eyes have feasted on these sceneries, it's time to give my belly the gastronomic treat it deserves after all that walking. This list will probably grow in the future as these places are the ones I frequent the most whenever I'm in UPD. Prices of items in their menu might probably change when I update this entry when I return to these places and find the effects...

All the Diliman Feels

Don't worry, UP Manila. You have already secured a spot deep in my heart despite all your peculiarities and nuances. So don't get all jealous with this post about UP Diliman, yes? That was just me reassuring myself of my love for my alma mater before diving headfirst into this UP Diliman post. BECAUSE I MIGHT FORGET ALL ABOUT UP MANILA AFTER WRITING THIS! (Kidding, UPM. Love you!) For most aspiring seniors in high school, what enters their mind...

Manila, Manila I keep coming back to Manila - Part 1

I wrote a draft post about Manila months ago but I wasn't able to finish it and it has been giving me the Devil Eye every time I open my 'Posts' page and more so when I finished a post whilst it remained being a draft. Here's what I wrote so far before Procrastination, Tiredness and Excuses took over. The walled city of Intramuros has literally stood the test of time. Dear Wiki says Intramuros "is the oldest district and historic core of the City...

Somewhere in Samar

In Quinapondan, to be specific. Volunteering is buffet for your soul and, boy, is my soul stuffed! Health Futures Foundations, Inc. recently launched Kalinaw Samar!, a program centered in providing psychosocial relief alongside the continuous rendering of medical missions to Yolanda survivors.  'Kalinaw' in Waray is 'peace of mind' (or something of that sort). It's quite a deep word, that Kalinaw. Ever heard of the municipalities...
