By Richereigne 11/01/2012

Palani shore at around sunset There is a nice beach that is being talked about somewhere in the province of Masbate, and it is called 'Palani Beach'. To warn you, it is not yet a commercialized destination, no hotels, and all those fancy facilities we often associate with resorts but that's the beauty of it. Palani Beach in Masbate It has about 1-2 kilometers of stretch of beach front with really fine white sand, just like in Boracay. Swimming is perfect due to the right depth of the water, and it's virtually clean, almost no rocks or stones, unless you venture in the deeper area.

Things to Do in Balud, Masbate

By Richereigne 7/02/2014

Balud is a municipality in the western tip of Masbate Island, an island located in the heart of the Philippines known for it's cattle produce and hot politics. It is however home to the Rodeo Masbateno Festival, an annual showcase of the skills in all activities related to cattle. Admittedly, Masbate is not one of the known tourist destinations in the country but it has its own beautiful spots worthy of a visit. One advantage of this fact is one can still enjoy the relatively pristine and undeveloped places without the droves of tourists common in the popular travel destinations like Boracay or Bohol. While Balud is a 1-hour drive from the province capital, there are other activities you can do to make your visit worthwhile. Here is a list of things you can do if you want to visit Balud, Masbate.

A Weekend Trip to Palani Beach in Masbate

By Richereigne 4/08/2013

Spending the whole weekend in a beach setting far away from all the stresses of daily living is virtually everyone's dream. While the intense summer heat is baking most part of the tropical archipelago, the beach offers a surprisingly cool respite. Intending to escape the heat one weekend which also coincided with my daughter's birthday, I flew in for a two-day beach-filled fun spent at Palani Beach in Balud, Masbate. Palani Beach in Masbate, Philippines (April 2013) Long stretch of beach perfect for swimming This undeveloped beauty is just the perfect escape. Away from the crowd and commercialized beach destinations, Palani is my great choice for a quiet and lovely weekend with only fun and rest in my mind. Despite the summer heat, the sea breeze over the area is cool and refreshing. An early swim or a late afternoon dip is a great way to be away from the summer sun's intense glare. Who needs shoes? I walked barefoot in the clean beach Armed with my cam...

Hotels in Dipolog City: Ariana Hotel

By Richereigne 7/02/2014

Hidden Gem of a Hotel in Dipolog City During my recent trip to Dipolog City (Zamboanga del Norte) summer of 2014, a good friend recommended Ariana Hotel. I love going to new destinations and as much as I enjoy exploring the tourist spots as well as not so popular off-the-beaten path, I look forward to pampering my weary earthly body at a great hotel with clean rooms and nice, soft linens at the end of my adventure-filled day. Ariana Hotel indeed became my second home while in this city. Pluses 1. At over a thousand pesos per night for a Single Executive room, that's value for money baby! I booked throught Agoda.com , a great site which I use for my fuss-free hotel or other accommodations booking. 2. Ariana Hotel is a stone throw away from the Dipolog City airport, what a relief! You can literally walk to the airport with your suitcase in tow. Of course, I didn't do that and still availed of the free hotel transfer to carry my gazillion of suitcases. If you stay a...

5 Reasons Why Tagaytay is the Perfect Summer Weekend Getaway

By Richereigne 4/08/2013

Taal Volcano in Tagaytay Photo by Drumlanrig on Wikipedia, Commons Tagaytay City is considered as one of the popular philippine tourist spots. It is also called little Baguio due to its cool weather conditions even in the middle of summer. It is one of the favorite destinations for city dwellers to relieve themselves from the sweltering heat of the summer. 1. Accessible Indeed, not only is Tagaytay sought after because of this cool climate but also because of it's accessibility. It may be reached either way from Aguinaldo Highway or by taking the SLEX route. I have been to Tagaytay a number of times and prefer taking the SLEX and Santa Rosa Exit. On normal traffic, it takes an hour to get there. 2. A Host of Activities Tagaytay is ideal both for couples and families. There are many activities that can be engaged in while there. You can go sight-seeing, horseback riding, playing golf, relaxation through a spa, and many others. 3. A Romantic place The cool weather...

Where to Find Natural Yoghurt in Manila

By Richereigne 1/08/2012

Some Asian recipes call for natural yogurt and it is not quite easy to get one. Dairy products like the hard-to-find natural yogurt may be bought at Rizal Dairy farm (Antipolo). Good thing you don't have to travel that far because yogurt products can be had also at their Market! Market! stall. The stall is near the rice stalls right behind the open food court section. Now if you love cooking, no distance can prevent you from getting the ingredients for a dish you wold love to try out. natural yoghurt from Rizal Dairy Farms Source: Rizal Dairy Farms
