The Philippines is undeniably beautiful and it is such a shame that I have not fully explored my country. In anticipation for the upcoming Summer season, here is my Bucket List: Philippine Edition, which I hope to visit this year.
Wanderlust: A strong desire for or impulse to wander or travel and explore the world
Calling all those who are craving to satisfy their wanderlust, promo rates and discounts await you in this year's TravelTour Expo, happening on February 5-7, 2016!
I've always dreamt of travelling around the world or at least going to one country in all continents. While Europe has always been and will always be on top of my bucket list, I may have to prioritize Latin American countries first, preferably this 2016 or early 2017.
My mom brought me with her to one of her business trips to Sydney back in 2009. I never had the chance to thoroughly tour the city as I was alone. If I remember correctly, I spent most of my time in the hotel room or walking around the city, hunting for shopping malls.
I have to admit, I was a little anxious about staying in an Airbnb in Osaka. We knew that this was the way to go since there are six of us in the family and this would mean renting out at least two rooms in a hotel. Indeed, renting out an apartment would be cheaper.
Forgive me but I am not yet over our Japan trip. I do hope you all enjoyed my previous posts.
Being born in a country where there are only two seasons: hot and hotter, I have always been a fan of winter clothes. They make you look stylish and elegant. Most importantly, they hide your fats! Haha.
Yet another shopping district. That's the iconic Hep 5 Ferris Wheel behind me
This is Part 5 of a 5 Part Series that describes in detail my
family’s 6D/5N Trip to Osaka, Japan.
We spent four days
discovering the cultural and more traditional sights that Osaka has to offer.
For our fifth day, however, we visited the modern part of Osaka, its
transportation hub, shopping and business district, Umeda.

Like Nara, Kyoto also used
to be the capital of Japan. As a center of learning and culture, Kyoto is an
important part of one’s travel plans to Kansai. I have to admit, however, that
the schedule that I have allotted for this trip was relatively insufficient to
fully explore this magnificent city.

While working on our
itinerary, I chanced upon an article stating that most tourist attractions are
closed on New Year’s Day. I read that in visiting Japan during the New Year, it
is best to join the crowd doing hatsumode, the first visit to a shrine or
temple. What better way to experience this festival than visit Nara, Japan’s
first permanent capital which houses the oldest and largest temples.

Since I was a kid, my mom
has always wanted to spend New Year’s Eve in a place other than Manila. As many
of you know by the now, New Year’s Eve in Manila is very loud and dangerous
most especially it is common in this country to welcome the New Year by firing
guns, thus the increasing number of victims of the ligaw na bala.
However, it was only last
year that we had the chance to go out of town on New Year’s Eve. We welcomed
2015 in Puerto Princesa. This year, we flew all the way to Osaka.
Oh, New York, one of my favorite -- no, my favorite place in the whole world- I have been twice but my love for you remains. I still miss you every single day.
Interstate Tour: Philadelphia, Washington DC, Niagara Falls, Thousand Islands
Being a graduate of law and the social sciences, history, government and well, the law, fascinate me. I have experienced these all in the Interstate Tour of Philadelphia, Washington DC, Niagara Falls and the Thousands Islands in New York.
It was back in 2009 when my family first visited the magnificent Hawaii. I still dream of going back to that wonderful island. It was undeniably, one of our best vacations.
It was my mom's dream to bring us, her children to Disneyland. She brought me and one of my brothers to Disneyland, Los Angeles back in 1996. Then in 2004, she brought her four kids to Disneyworld, Orlando. Still, theme parks have been a staple in our itineraries whenever we travel.
Perhaps, one of the things I regret is not going after my dream of going to another country to study. When I was in high school, I would always tell my friends that I would fly to the United States right after graduation to study there. Somewhere along the way, I lost sight of that goal.
I have always dreamt of travelling the world. I was exposed at a very young age to travelling because my mom used to work for an airline company. However, there are still tons of beautiful places to visit and explore.
