The Philippines is an awesome place! Things really are "More fun in The Philippines"

Whitewater Kayaking, Camiling River, Tarlac – September 16, 2012

Lakwatsero — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 13:00:00 +0000

Tarlac for me, and probably for many Manileneos has always been “that place along McArthur Highway you pass to get to Baguio.” It never occurred to me that in that big expanse of land between Pampanga and Pangasinan would be the potential for adventure spots yet undiscovered. One such adventure is Whitewater Kayaking. I first [...]

Genting Highlands, Malaysia–June 23, 2012

Lakwatsero — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 01:33:00 +0000

Taking a break from the nature-filled adventures I am used to, I decided to explore the Genting Highlands… not totally sure of what to expect. Genting Highlands is actually a development by Resorts World but the whole resort is on a mountain top with various other hotel operators. Gunung Ulu Kali is like Filipino’s Baguio [...]

Low Yat Plaza, Geek’s Paradise in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Lakwatsero — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 00:39:21 +0000

Despite the fact that I am in beautiful Malaysia with a breadth of tourist destinations. My first stop is still the IT Mall.

Why Travel Insurance is Important, a tour of Chartis’ Travel Guard center in Kuala Lumpur

Lakwatsero — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 11:00:00 +0000

I have been lucky so far that I have never been in any situation where travel insurance would have been handy. I have never lost a bag, I have never lost travel documents. I have never been hospitalized while on travel or in any serious accident. But as the most wise Ate Vi has once said “you can never can tell.”

How to get to Anawangin Cove, Zambales

Lakwatsero — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 07:11:40 +0000

I’ve been asked several times recently how to get to Anawangin Cove from Manila. I decided to put a little post together with the very simple directions of how to get to Anawangin. I will give you two options 1) by Private Vehicle and 2) by Public Transportation Travel Times Along with directions, I also [...]

Fondue at Eleven Tables, Kapitolyo, Pasig City

Lakwatsero — Sun, 20 May 2012 12:20:00 +0000

For my birthday last April, I treated one of my barkadas to an interesting little place in Pasig. This group of mine always gets together for one of our birthdays, usually at some new and interesting place. My specific interest in this place was the fact that they are known for FONDUE. We have been talking about doing fondue for several years and never really got around to it. When I came across this place while reading some Foodie blog posts, I knew this has got to be the resto to treat for my birthday.

Dive and Trek, Anilao (aka Batang Yagit goes Diving) – May 12, 2012

Lakwatsero — Sun, 13 May 2012 01:00:00 +0000

People go on lakwatsas for various reasons. Once it a while, it isn’t about you. Sometimes its about sharing an experience with a friend. For around a week, Benj Espina and I had been chatting on Facebook bringing Winston Almendras (aka Batang Yagit) Scuba Diving. I had been hearing about this from both of them for months, I thought it would make for an awesome adventure.

Sango Burger, Rockwell

Lakwatsero — Mon, 07 May 2012 01:00:00 +0000

My experience at Sango was MEH! For the cost of a burger 3x that of the ever sacred Quarter Pounder. I would rather eat in a roadside Burger Machine which has more flavor than at Sango ever again.

Mapanuepe Lake, Zambales – April 5, 2012

Lakwatsero — Sat, 05 May 2012 12:00:00 +0000

If you are looking for an adventure to a place virgin to tourists and campers in the same way Anawangin Cove was just a few years ago, there is a small out of the way town in Zambales home to a young lake formed after the eruption of Mount Pinatubo.
