BLOGGED: Surfing at Baler, Aurora
One does not need to travel to very far places just to experience cloud nine. Those who are residing in the island of Luzon will definitely have the chance to experience the thrill and excitement brought about by the big waves of Baler, Aurora.
EN ROUTE – JOURNEY TO THE ISLAND OF FIRE
Known as a mystical island with voodoo traditions and mumu encounters, most Manilenyos are afraid to venture out to Siquijor which gives the place added charm and value because there are very few tourists. All I know is that while we were there, only warm and friendly people greeted us.
Baybayin
Baybayin is a pre-Spanish Philippine writing system, it is a member of the Brahmic family and is recorded as being in use in the 16th century.
The term Baybay literally means “to spell” in Tagalog. Baybayin was extensively documented by the Spanish. Some have attributed it the name Alibata, but this name is incorrect.
Baybayin is one of a number individual writing systems used in Southeast Asia, nearly all of which are abugidas where any consonant is pronounced with the inherent vowel a following it — diacritical marks being used to express other vowels (this vowel occurs with greatest frequency in Sanskrit, and also probably in all Philippine languages).

BLOGGED: Conquering Osmeña Peak of Cebu
The mountains meant nothing to me before.
I never appreciated it and never in my life did I aspire to climb even the pandak-est mountain. Well, I used to be a lazy boywho just wanted to do easy things. But my perspectives changed after I successfully climbed Mount Pinatubo. It was one of my glorious days; seeing the turquoise-blue lake literally blew me away.
Months prior my South Cebu trip, Jerome, Robbie and I planned to conquer Cebu’s highest peak. I have seen a lot of beautiful photos of Osmeña Peak from the internet and read that the trek to the summit wasn’t that difficult.
Or so we thought.
