Bohol consists of a handful of beaches surrounding Panglao Island. Each one has their own characteristics and vibe. So we selected few of the most popular beaches and spend a little time in each of them.
Doljo Beach is best for its sunset. Not the best for swimming though. It has few people so you can spend an afternoon alone while waiting for the sun to set. There are so many dogs though. and I still don’t know how those sands formed like tiny grapes.
Virgin Island though is not that virgin. lol. We, unfortunately, visited the island early in the morning. good news: few people and we got the newly cooked banana cue. bad news: you cannot see the island. If you want to see the long white sand bar, go there after lunch.
This is not a beach I know. But we stopped by this area near balicasag island to wait for these b*tches. Dolphins, I mean. We only had a few sightings of these wonderful creatures because it’s already rainy season and most of them comes up during summer.
Dumaluan Beach. This is the best for me. It is most beautiful during sunrise plus you can swim there early in the morning. It has super fine sand and the water is cleaner than in Virgin Island.
This is Dumaluan Beach in Bohol Beach Club side. Tipid tip: have a day tour at BBC when you can’t afford their overnight fee. You can have a taste of luxury for a small price. PLUS, their food is the best!
This is sunset in Dumaluan Beach. What is wonderful in Bohol is that it has so many beaches that you can see just pick if you want to see the sunrise or sunset or party or have a quiet evening.
Speaking of *party*, we also spent one night at Alona Beach, which is right beside Dumaluan Beach. Unfortunately, I don’t have a photo since we went there at night. They say that it is a little Boracay but I can’t compare because I haven’t been to Boracay. Food was okay. Ambiance was okay. I don’t recommend there though. Or it’s not just for my taste.
The next time I’ll go to Bohol, I’ll spend money on those higher end resort because Bohol is the place to be for beach bumming.
Bohol Travel, Tourist Spots and Tips for the First Time Goers (Part I)
We were lucky to catch a plane ride to Bohol at 6 am. Luckily, there were no flight delays so we arrived at Tagbilaran at 7 am. It’s a little bit early though. Since this is our first time in Bohol, it’s a must have to roam around the countryside to visit the “Tourist Spots”
Tip 1: Most Tourist Spots opens at 8 am. You can eat at nearby Mcdonalds or Jollibee for breakfast.
Tip 2: If you’re travelling with a group, save yourself from commuting. Hire a car for the countryside tour.
Tourist Spot 1: Butterfly Sanctuary.
I’ve been to other Butterfly Gardens before but this is the first sanctuary that offers tour guides who explained to us the life of a butterfly. He explained to us the lifecycle of a butterfly, their lifespan, and how you will know when they are going to die (You’ll know it when you see their wings are already falling apart)
Chocolate Smelling Butterfly. I guess those yellow strands coming out from their behind releases those chocolate smelling.. hmm.. pheromones?
These are Mariposa. Mariposa Eggs takes a month to hatch but their life span is just around 6-7 days.
Tourist Spot 2: Tarsier Sanctuary.
I think there are 2-3 sanctuaries in Bohol? But you can only see 3-4 tarsiers in each place because these tarsiers are very territorial. They kill each other when they are near each other. They should also not be disturbed so we need to be quiet and cameras should have no flashes because if not, Tarsiers will be extremely depressed and will bang their head until they die. Yup, they are extremely introverted primates.
Tourist Spot 3: Baclayon Church.
As of this writing, Baclayon Church is still under renovation because of the 2013 earthquake. But, you can still visit the place and roam around their Museum. No videos and photos are allowed, though. I still wonder why.
You can see an image of a grotto at the top of the door.
Tourist Spot 4: Rio Verde Floating Restaurant.
This is the second (and more recently opened) floating restaurant. You can eat buffet style while cruising down the Loboc River. Mind you, food is a so-so. You just do this for the experience. It’s also nice that you have local band singing while you cruise.
Tip 3: Be ready for loose change, everyone expects a tip even if they just take a photo of you, using YOUR phone. What can you expect? Bohol survives on tourism.
Tourist Spot 4.5: Ati Village
When you pick Rio Verde Floating Restaurant, you will have a chance to have a 10- minute stop over at an Ati Village. You can get exposed to their local culture and stuff. But, of coarse, everything is still about tourism. It’s funny because the caves and skulls are not realistic. Everyone expects a tip from you. Anyhow, it’s all for the experience right?
Tip 3.5: Don’t get everything that is handed to you (i.e. bow and arrow). They are expecting you to buy them. You can try shooting with an arrow though. Worth the experience. Just give Kuya some tip money :3
Tip 4: People will take your picture and sell them to you at 100 pesos per photo. You have an option to buy them though.
Tourist Spot 5: Hanging Bridge.
For 20 pesos, you can go back and forth this bridge. It looks safe because it now has steel bars. This is not the original though because the original bridge was destroyed by the earthquake.
Tip 5: Pasalubongs are CHEAPEST at the Hanging Bridge. Buy them there!
Tourist Spot 6: Mahogany Man Made Forest.
This is a 2 kilometres stretch of planted Mahogany trees where you can drive by or stop over for photos. Just be extra careful when taking your pictures there because cars and motorcycles are passing the road.
Tourist Spot 7: Chocolate Hills
Because Bohol will never be Bohol without these chocolate hills! There are many ways to experience these 1,776 hills. The most popular way is visiting the viewing deck and see the chocolate hills from the top. I believe there is another viewing deck from Danao Adventure Park but we were not able to go there. The viewing deck was destroyed by the 2013 earthquake so you can still a part of it being renovated.
Another way to experience the hills is to ride the ATV and enjoy the footsteps of the Chocolate Hills! This is more exciting and my personal favourite.
Tourist Spot 8: Blood Compact Site
Well, this is just a monument for the famous blood compact. Nothing much to see here unless you’re in a history field trip.
Tip 6: You can buy cheap pasalubong here also. Buy key chains and trinkets here. For food, buy at the Hanging Bridge. For shirts, buy at Hinagdanan Cave.
So that’s it for this post. Up Next: Bohol Beaches! :D
Before anything else, I admit that I am not a politically inclined person. I may not see the whole picture nor am I knowledgable about these things, but this is from a perspective of a dentist who is more inclined to science and the oral cavity than history, politics or current events.
We all know what’s on the news nowadays. Pushers, users, and even innocent people are killed here and there. We don’t know who is saying the truth anymore. While some may say that this is better than drug users killing innocent people, some also say that you cannot solve something that is negative by doing the same thing. Some may praise our president while others blame him for this shoot-to-kill order.
There is also this another controversy regarding Duterte allowing Ferdinand Marcos to be buried at Libingan ng Mga Bayani. It’s easy for me to say that people should move and I am not really an anti-Marcos (nor am I a fan of him) because I haven’t really have a first hand experience or any experience at all regarding the martial law. I don’t even know what happened during those times. This prompted me to watch a documentary regarding this fallen dictator.
I still believe that we all have been born with an innate goodness. Nobody is born to destroy or with an intention of doing something bad. Everybody starts with this goodness. And, I still like to believe that Marcos is like everybody else, has this dream. A dream that came out from this innate goodness. But, he is also one smart, very focused man. I still want to believe that he has this dream for himself and for the country. But he was so focused, he has this tunnel vision, to reach these dreams, these things that he wanted that he started to lose grip of his innate goodness. I think everything started very well, but then everything came spiraling down. It maybe because of the communists, the economic downfall of south east asia or his very own doing. But when everything feels like sand that is starting to fall from his hands, he tightened his grip and he uses his power and authority to control everything. He is still focused on his dreams.
It’s just sad that he has all the qualities to become someone that is really, really great. And yet, he died in a lonely exile in Hawaii with everybody hating on him.
So I guess what I’ve learned from this limited information that I have is that we all have this innate goodness. And from this goodness comes out our dreams. Yes, we need to be disciplined and focused to reach our dreams but we must not forget our basic nature to be good. This goodness leads to our dreams and reaching our dreams should also end up with this goodness.

It was not my first time here in Pinto Art Museum. I visited this place last february when we had our Antipolo Roadtrip. But the museum was so huge and beaitiful that I didn’t hesitate to go back. This is a perfect place for geek couples, friends and family where you can discuss artworks, rest, and eat. Everything is here. I suggest you come at 9 am and watch the sunset at 6 pm.
According to blogs, foods at museum are quite pricy so we decided to eat somewhere else. Note: On sunday, most of the restaurant opens at 11 am. We were supposed to eat as early as 10 am so we can start the tour early but we had to find a place that opens at 10 am.
We found ourselves in Eggs for Breakfast, hidden somewhere in Antipolo (There are a lot of hidden places in Antipolo)
You can also have this place rented for events. The only downside was the parking.
I had Bacon and Eggs for breakfast.
And finally, I give you.. Pinto Art Museum.
There are 6 different galleries, a pool, sunset viewing deck, sculpture garden, a library, cafe, indigenous garden, and a whole lot more. If I can go back time, it’s okay to spend some money for food here.
There are beds everywhere. You can sit on it and lie down if you're tired.
Unique sculptures can be found here. You can see a baby inside it.
Lots of going up and down.
Conference room.
The Library
Ampitheatre
No Flash Photography is allowed because it can alter the colors of the paintings.
If you're wondering how they preserve the paintings without airconditiong, we asked one of the museum keepers. He said the ventilation in the different galleries is enough to preserve the art.
Wire Sculptures
See, there are places to rest everywhere.
Some arts are made to be played on.
Everywhere is picture perfect.
Ahh.. and there’s me.
EVERYTHING here are made of paper. Except for the Tumba-tumba.
They also have rooms which has different themes. Guess what this room is all about.
Lovely explaining what those things are. haha! Alam na!
It’s a bird’s room. hah!
Chismisan. This room was supposed to be about girl’s gossiping. Unfortunately, it has no sounds when we went in! Good thing I was able to experience it the first time I went here. So my friends just had to make their own sounds.
Artworks beautifully displaced.
Bamboo room. You can hear, feel, smell a bamboo rainforest in this room.
We were supposed to eat at Silantro but the line was so long we were like 28th or something on the waiting list so we just walked around looking for any place which has less crowd. We found this newly opened restaurant at UP town center that has dainty walls and instagram worthy tables. Aaand, no crowd.
And so we found ourselves looking at the menu of all vegan dishes at The Clean Plate.
Since I already ate rice as merienda, I ordered Tokyo Nori Salad. Well, for a more than 200 pesos salad I wasn't expecting that it will be 75% green cabbage. What's new is the seacharon which is a vegan chicharon. It tasted... Nothing. Haha! I can't describe it, it tastes like a dahon. Which is paired with lots of dahon (cabbages). I wish there's more mango at cucumber so there'd be something to pair with all those cabbages. There goes my healthy living!!
Yssa ordered OMG! Burger (Oh my Gulay) but I wasnt able to taste it because guess what..There's more dahon!
And then Lovely ordered ordered Honey Beef Belly Roast which was so tasty and the meat has the perfect consistency.
The best part was this Vegan Ice Cream. I picked the Milky Match Flavor. It has a perfect bitter tea at first then the vanilla flavor will melt in your mouth. I will definitely go back for the ice cream!
You need a quick fix from your busy lifestyle? You don’t have to spend lots of money and time going to the beach or other provinces when you have so many beautiful hotels in Manila.
This is the Acacia Hotel in Ayala Alabang. I found their promo in the internet which includes an overnight stay for two, a complimentary halo-halo and buffet breakfast for about 4,000 pesos.
The hotel was relatively new and every corner was instagram worthy!
They have a pool and gym overlooking the city.
They also have rubber duckies to entertain kids and the not so much kids.
But first, Coffee.
Pool opens at 6 am. better wake up early so you can have the pool all by yourselves.
Breakfast was great for its price. It has the traditional foods that you can see in hotel buffet.
I was craving for an Avocado Shake for weeks and lo and behold.. they have even better... Avocado Ice Cream!
Chill and watercolour before checkin out.
and at 10 am, people are everywhere.
Definitely try Acacia Hotel for your ultimate staycation. Watch out for their promos!
Morning stroll in the most beautiful beach in the World: A Travel Photodiary (Nacpan, Palawan)
I woke up at 5 am so I can capture the sunrise in Nacpan. I kid you not, this was the most serene thing that happened to me ever.
I spent the first hours of the morning in a hammock, doing nothing.
When my friends woke up, we decided to walk down the beach going to the twin beach
We weren’t able to climb the peak because we figure out how to climb up there. But this view is the Calitang Beach. on the other side, you can see Nacpan beach. It is more rocky and leafy (?) in the shores of Calitang.
Going back, the sun was up, the sands were like fine gold, and everything was perfect,
We had few photos while walking back.
We were so hungry. I ate banana pancakes for breakfast. Because what better way to eat pancakes but to eat it beside the beach right. :D
Finally had the time to rest!
and swim!
and float!
best things in life happens when you’re with your best friends :)
I recommend Nacpan Beach to everyone looking for some peace and quiet. It was not touristy. it has the perfect view, perfect ambience. perfect place to just space out. :)
After our Tour in El Nido, we hopped right in a Tricycle and made our way to Nacpan. It was a one hour rocky ride going to Nacpan but it was WORTH IT.
Nacpan has the most beautiful sunset. It was so irresistible that I had to run to the beach right after we reached Nacpan. I don’t care if I have all my luggages with me. I just had to take in everything!
They said that one of this islands were bought by Manny Pacquiao.

My friend, Jenny, is back from Dubai, so we decided to book a plane to Palawan for 3 days. After purchasing the ticket, I realized that spending 3 days is not the greatest idea because it will take 5-6 hours from Puerto Prinsesa to El Nido via van. (I also learned on the day of our flight that there is a direct plane to El nido via Sky Jet Airways, I'm not yet sure about the price but I'm guessing it's a little bit pricey).
So our first day was spent travelling to El Nido. Our flight was delayed by an hour. We were greeted by someone in the airport and he brought us to our van which is a little bit tacky. I later learned that what we rode was a commuter van. We planned on going to Marimegmeg beach which is a 15 mins tricycle ride from the town to catch the sunset but the van made so many stop overs that it took us 7 hours going to the town.
We stayed at Northern Hope Inn. Nothing special about the place but it was just right considering it is near the beach front and the town proper. It was also an air-conditioned room. So for 1000 pesos a night for the three of us, it was perfect.
After putting down our things, we decided to walk around the town. The Town is full of vendors where you can buys souvenirs. Everything was complete! You can even buy a Gopro and a memory card! But of course everything was pricier. A bag of Nova Chips costs 50 pesos.
We ate at an Italian Restaurant called The Mezzanine. They have a.. Well.. Mezzanine.. Where you can eat and has a perfect view of the beach. The Margerita Pizza and Pesto Pasta was perfect. The 180 pesos Mango shake, however, was a bummer. Could've just ordered house water instead.
At night, the beach front is full of bars and restaurants where you can have candle lit dinner or a few drinks ala boracay. But we had a better view of the place in the morning where you can eat breakfast by the shore with a view of the boats and mountains.
Restaurants are not yet open before 8 am but we asked one place if we can have an early breakfast. They should seriously consider serving breakfast as early as 7 am because people who will be joining the tours might want to eat early.
I had Bacon, Ham, Toast and Jam, and a slice of watermelon for breakfast
So that was our short experience of the town. The highlight of the of the trip of course was the beaches, lagoons, the underwater life and the food of course.
It's true that time flies by so fast when you grow old. When I was about 15 years younger, I can't wait till I get older by a year because then I thought I'd be having more freedom. Right now, all I do is work, work, work, buy things I need, work, work, sleep, work, work, read, travel, work, work, work, and then hey.. a year passed by already.
NOWNESS. I don't know if it's an actual word, but I found it from Abbey Sy's painting. It's just that I'm always worried about the future or thinking about the past (but I'm more of always worrying about the future), that I need a lot of practice on what Marc called "Mindfulness". To pay attention to what is happening in the present moment.
I've been in a whirlwind of emotions for the past few months and I've been through my darkest days. I tried to pick myself up and had a retreat. I tried reading books. I talked to God like I never talked to him before. I travelled alone. Had a staycation by myself. Just to reflect on some things.
Now that those "whirlwind" emotions are over and done, I'm back to my regular everyday life but I'm afraid that one day I'll be again too tired and too angry about life and that I'll forget about what I've reflected and then I'll again go back to that ugly state of mind.
Soo.. here are my thoughts and random rambling for the first quarter of 2016.
01.03.16: Never put your faith on anyone but God because anybody can turn you down. But only God will be there for you faithfully
01.04.16: Letting go affectively is different from letting go effectively.
01.09.16: It's just nice that you have someone weird enough to do stupid stuff with you.
01.12.16: And it will make you wonder what is the meaning of life. You feel like what you're feeling now is soo big but really, you're just a tiny speck in the world.. And in a matter of time, you will gone. Everything will be gone. Those moments that you have with people around you. Everything will be gone. No one will remember. The pavement that you're walking on now.. It will change eventually. Who knows everything will be metal in the future. And no one will remember those things that happened at that specific space. That moment that is so significant to you that means the whole world to you.. It's nothing really. And you're just a tiny speck in this world, or the universe, rather.
01.28.16: God should be the center of everything in my life.
02.11.16: As Marc said, like depression, happiness won’t happen in a snap.. it will happen after a series of events that makes you a little bit happier everyday.
03.04.16: I cannot pinpoint when this healing love actually began. I believe it was there all along, I just didn't recognize it. It was this love that gave me hope that things could be better for me. That life was not all pain, sorrow, and loneliness. He actually wanted me to be happy, He wanted the best for me. He desired my well-being
03.06.16: Year after year.. God's message for me was.. Jamie you have to let go. Let go and let God do His works. And that is what I'm going to do now.
03.13.16: What if the lesson of all of this is that God crushed my pride. So I humble myself and let go of all the things I think I know and what is right.
March 21, 2016: I decided to go to Arenas Farm for some personal retreat. It was the start of holy week and people are fasting and doing sacrifices and stuff, but I was surprised on how much food was offered to me in the monastery. My body and soul was stuffed!Snapseed
Realizations
1. Surrender to God your preferences.
2. Don't let what they say about you get to you. You know who your true self is and you choose who you want to be.. And…
3. There's no use raising your voice just to get your message across because even if you raise your voice it will just lead to more misunderstandings.
4. God is a God of new beginnings. God has to let me reach rock bottom so I have no choice but to leave it all to him.
5. Let go and Let God. Because you can only do small things and most of the time.. The battle is not ours but of God. Most of the things I am anxious about and I'm not in control of.. You put that in a big big box and hand it over to God.
6. Let go of the fear. Live in the moment.
Don't live in a past of resentment and should have been. Don't live in a future that will lead you to worry and anxiety. But live for the moment.. Do what you can do.. Ask God for help because He is there.
Fear is the opposite of freedom. And God gave us the gift of intelligence so we have the freedom to choose. When there is feat, you are not free.
7. All of the things come and go.. But one thing is permanent and that is God. Do not put your trust in things or people or dreams but on God alone.
8. There is an abundance of blessings out there. God knows what you need at the moment. Just wait on God while not reaching yet your dreams.. But in the waiting.. You can still find true joy. In sacrifice, you can still find true joy.
8. Be easy on yourself. You may not always remember these realizations always. There is a possibility that you will sin again and again. But Jamie, just always remember self awareness. Be aware of your actions. Be accountable of your actions.
I got a Letter from Sister Natie from the other side of the world.
She gave me this Rosary from Basilica Loreta in Italy.
I was never excited or Holy Week until after college. Where I finally realize the true meaning of the word: RETREAT.
I was planning on having a solo getaway but then.. Pam found a staycation online! Looks like all hotels are lowering their rates this holy week knowing everyone need some relaxing and all the routes going outside of Manila are jam packed.
Downside of course : the place is full!!! But it didn't stop us from having fun of course :)
