Snapshots: Where Sea and Forest Meet, Anawangin Cove, Zambales








Super Saturday! I'm in La Union for the weekend, hoping to catch some waves. Here's a picture from another trip I took in North Luzon a few years back, in Anawangin Cove, Zambales.

Have an adventure-filled weekend!

It's finally the long weekend! If you've yet to make travel plans, it's not too late to stuff a backpack with a few clothes, hop on a bus (or take your own car, if taking public transportation is a conyo problem you just don't want to deal with) and as the Nat Geo Adventure tagline goes, get lost!

I love how pretty the lighting on this picture is - brought about by sun rays seeping through the numerous trees that sheltered us and our little tent from the heat.

Summer 2010 in the Philippines: 5 Trip Suggestions from Filipina on Flip Flops







My college friends, Bert and Jen, on our graduation trip to Bantayan Island, Cebu, circa 2007.


Summer is here! In the Philippines, at least.

The heat is on, and sun, sand and sea are calling. So I thought I'd write about five trips you can take around the Philippines this summer - catch a sneak peak under the cut, and visit the blog every Saturday for a new post.

Also, I'll be running my very first contest on this blog this summer - watch out for the post that will announce it very soon, and I hope you all join!

Staying Afloat: A Series of Snapshots







Anyone who's ever traveled around Asia knows that life in this continent is often closely intertwined to and, in more ways than one, largely dependent on the numerous bodies of water that surround, run through and sometimes connect its many countries. For someone like me who lives in an archipelago like the Philippines and who's fortunate enough to be able to explore its many islands, I've often observed this firsthand. I've seen the same thing in my travels in other countries in Asia as well - the importance of the sea, the river, or the ocean in everyday life, for everyday people to be able to survive.

Here are a few pictures I took from some of my travels that capture glimpses of the lives these people lead, in their everyday attempt to, quite literally and figuratively, stay afloat.

Filipina on Flip Flops 2009: A Year In Pictures






Happy New Year everyone! Here's a collage of photos I took (and some I borrowed from travel buddies) from all my travels in 2009. Here's to many more trips in 2010!


(click on collage to enlarge)

I'll post most of these pictures in bigger sizes and write about them in the near future, so I hope you keep visiting Filipina on Flip Flops in 2010! (And my first 2010 travel resolution is to update my travel blog sooner, and more religiously! I promise!)

Oh, and a big THANK YOU to everyone who comes to visit this site every so often, and an even bigger THANK YOU to those who take the time to comment on my posts. I really, really appreciate it! This travel blog is like my baby (although sometimes it's an uncared for, slightly overlooked baby), a labor of love and passion and self-expression, and I take your kind comments and warm greetings as much needed encouragement. Again, many many thanks!

My friends and I said goodbye to the summer of 2009 by going camping in Zambales for a weekend. Here's a picture from that camping trip (my first ever), taken in the woods that lined the shores of Anawangin Cove in Zambales, where a small stream weaved through the trees.
