    This makes me wish I have all those millions just to do this, Chito. Rescue all the old houses and place them somewhere safe.

    I wish I can visit this place sometime soon. I've read so much about it. Kainggit naman kayo!

    Madali lang itong puntahan, Lou. And you can also opt to stay there overnight if you want to. The owner/s of the place is really into "rescuing" and preserving old/historical houses.

    What are lacking are foliage: huge acacia trees or errant aratiles trees here or there.

    Yup. Just like the ones in Vigan.

    Kaya lang hindi sya "wheel-chair friendly," i.e. ang hirap itulak ang wheel-chair tapos tagtag ng husto yung whell-chair user :-). Siguro kasi wala namang wheel-chair nung mga panahon na yun. Pano nga ba yung mga dis-abled noon?

    Wow ang ganda!!!! My province is Zambales so I know some houses like this in San Antonio. Sadly, they're all gone after the pinatubo eruption.

The day I left for college

I've been going to Manila ever since I was a boy in the 60s. I don't remember exactly how many times. In all of these trips, I've always been going with either my mother or father or both. Most of these trips were for the purpose of visiting my elder sister who was then already going to the university, and a few trips were actually for some sight-seeing, e.g. Manila Zoo, Quiapo, etc. I remember we always had to pack as early three or four days before and all of our luggage will be neatly lined along the hallway all zipped-up and ready to go (and not to be touched by anyone, except by my mom, of course). But there is one departure that will forever remain in my memory - the day I left for college. On the day of my departure for college, Conching went through the same meticulous preparation except that this time a few more items were added to the things we're bringing on the trip - a basket full of half-ripe bananas, half a sack of ...

Ninja Assassin

Rating: ★★ Category: Movies Genre: Action & Adventure I've been watching out for this movie since I first saw it as a trailer for one of the movies I saw recently. I just thought that my longing for a great martial arts movie minus the spectacular location shootings and the cast of thousands that usually attend many of the recent films in this genre, e.g. Hero, and House of Dagger of Jet Lee, and without the zany humor that are the mainstay of Jackie Chan movies, would be a little refreshing if not a little nostalgic for the Kung Fu films of the great Bruce Lee. I am happy to note that indeed there were no spectacular scenery shots, and the story and action very serious indeed. Of course, how else can a portrait of an assassin be presented but seriously. But in so far as action ala Bruce Lee was concerned, it didn't quite measure up. If there is one word though that will always be used to describe this movie is Gory. It seems that all the wounds inflicted in all t...

Three-Days-Two-Nights at Pearl Farm. The Davao Pearl Farm is a sea side beach front resort located in an island called Samal which is just about 45-minutes motorised boat ride from Davao City. See http://www.pearlfarmbeachresort-davao.com/ppc/ . One can take a plane from Manila to Davao City and take a cab directly to the Pearl Farm jump-off point and main front office. It could take anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes (depending on the time of day and traffic situation) from the airport towards the direction of the Waterfront Hotel (formerly the Insular Hotel) to the marina where Pearl Farm Resort exclusive boats/ferries carry visitors across to Samal island with four trips (8AM, 1.30PM, 4PM and 6PM). For day-trips, one can take the 8AM ride to the island and the 4PM ride back to Davao City.
