My Travels
Being a blogger for Explore Iloilo, I have visited my home province and nearby places in Wesern Visayas extensively. Starting in 2010, I’ve kicked off my dream of traveling to more places in the Philippines. My aim is to visit as many travel destinations scattered throughout the Country’s 7,107 islands. Join me on my trips to see the beauty of the Philippines by regularly visiting this blog and experience the places that I’ve seen and people I’ve encountered. I’ve also planned a few backpacking trips in South East Asia and will be posting my adventures and misadventures in other lands as well.

While enjoying my fascination for taking aerial photos, I spotted this interesting heart-shaped sea formation during my flight from Surigao City to Cebu. It looks like its submerged so it couldn’t have been a heart-shaped Island. It could most likely be a reef or just a patch of sand. Would’ve have been cool if it was an island :)

Back at home after a year of travel, I can’t help but fall prey under the ever so unavoidable feeling of being back where I started. This is one of the reasons why I haven’t been posting AT ALL recently, I guess I just needed to step back, evaluate, and rethink things going on with my life. Traveling for me has not only been about taking a break from home or getting to visit different places but it’s more of a learning process. A process of knowing more about other places, other people, and in the process, about one’s self.

New Beginnings are always a great time to reflect and put one’s experiences into retrospect. A year ago, I had a plan to travel more extensively outside my hometown. I was bent to satisfy my cravings and spent the next twelve months tending to my aching wanderlust. It was a great experience to follow the trail of travelers before me and have the opportunity to make pathways of my own. Now that the dust has settled and I’ve moved past the thrill of the moment, patches of new perspective have come into view. I’ve made many recent realizations, which has helped me to make my prospects for the new year. This photo series entitled “Anti-thesis of Wanderland” reflects my journey and realizations … a perspective of beauty and the grotesque.

It’s always a momentous milestone to visit and discover a new place. It certainly was for me, when I first set foot in the island of Mindanao. I knew right then, that I just had to see as much of it as I can. Back then, I’ve heard a lot about Mindanao, like all Filipinos, and I felt like I just had to see and experience the island for myself, which I did. Now, I just can’t get enough of Mindanao!

I admit, I mostly got curious about Camarines Sur after it became one of the Philippines’ top travel destinations. I just had to find out what the fuss was all about. I finally had the chance to visit Camarines Sur during my weeklong trip to Bicol last September, which was great timing since it was the tercentenary celebration of the Peñarancia Festival in Naga City. Witnessing the Peñafrancia Festival, the largest Marian devotion in the country, was my first agenda after arriving at the Pili (Naga) Airport.

In the Philippine Ilonggo dialect, ambot ah literally means "I don't know." After graduating in college, I decided to hold off pursuing my profession and embarked on a free spirited journey of adventure and self-discovery. My travels have led me to many places across the Philippine Islands and South East Asia. I don't know where this path will take me but I'm certain I'll get a lifetime of stories out of it.
