Philippine Travels # 7: Myopia
And should I face disillusionment or disenchantment in law school, I would just have to lean back and remove my glasses -- and figure out which things I would have to focus on at this very moment.

I haven't posted these yet, and I keep reminding myself to but I always feel like I have something else to do once I'm seated and ready to type. But hey, better late than never! All photos are mine. Copyright 2014.
Philippine Travels # 5: Be cool, Bicol!
http://youtu.be/BKwllMRtXPQ Last June 7-8, the Loyola Mountaineers climbed Bulusan Mountain, one of the most active volcanoes in Luzon. Situated in Sorsogon in Bicol Province (and because of its volcanic nature), Bulusan is abundant with various flora and fauna (we saw, in no particular order, a couple snakes, bugs the size of birds, metallic blue… Continue reading Philippine Travels # 5: Be cool, Bicol!
Conquering the World # 1: Third Home (And Third Homesickness)
Today marks the first year anniversary of my coming back to the Philippines after spending 5 months in San Francisco as an exchange student, and while I've (mostly) come to grips with the realization that I won't be coming back, at least for a few more years, to the Bay Area, I still have moments… Continue reading Conquering the World # 1: Third Home (And Third Homesickness)
Philippine Travels # 4: Oh, the places you can go! (6)
Ah, Cagayan Valley. The centre of Region 2 and the place where 80% of my family is situated in. Because of its topography, the place experiences weather extremes, ranging from the hottest summers to the coldest... winters (winters being a very loose term, especially considering how this country does not have winters, and only has… Continue reading Philippine Travels # 4: Oh, the places you can go!

Pagudpod. Best known for its white sand beaches and pristine surroundings, the beach is famous the world over. However, when we got there, we were surprised (appalled is more honest a word, but it sounds too unforgiving) when we saw a great multitude of people and cars. Realizing we preferred silence (or noise in the… Continue reading Philippine Travels # 4: Oh, the places you can go! (5)

Allow me to start this part of the GNE series by saying that at this part of the journey, we pretty much looked like grilled shrimp (forgive the metaphor or mental the image, just believe we look less than glamorous. Not saying, of course, that our natural state of being is "glamorous"). Anyway, after bidding… Continue reading Philippine Travels # 4: Oh, the places you can go! (4)

Oh, Vigan. Or, because I am so smitten by this province... oh, Ilocos. Ilocos is another province in the Philippines and is divided into two: Ilocos Sur, and Ilocos Norte, mostly because they're on top of the other. It's the home of the famous empanada (it varies wherever in the world you are,… Continue reading Philippine Travels # 4: Oh, the places you can go! (3)

The first province on the list was Pangasinan; apt, because Pangasinan is known as the gateway to Northern Luzon (how else to start a great northern escapade, yeah?). Pangasinan means "place of salt," because it's the major producer of salt in the Philippines, and it's biggest products involve the salty (and similarly delectable) "bagoong" and… Continue reading Philippine Travels # 4: Oh, the places you can go!
