Five

Wow, just before leaving the office around 7pm...I felt my desk shake. I thought it was due to my other work mate who may have moved the desk. Apprarently it is an earthquake...I checked Inquirer.net and yes indeed - a Magnitude 5 earthquake...now I can't wait to go home.

Yay! No Visa required

Ok, in my quest to plan the perfect trip this February, I had stumbled upon the idea of finding out which countries do not require visas for holders of Philippine passports -- like most of us!

Yay, and those doesn't only include ASEAN member countries but a few more outside Asia! Now, I'm thrilled to plan and tick each one for future trip plans...goodluck with the budget.

Not getting a visa just means it would be easier to go and visit these countries!

Bloggin again

Hahaha, I can't believe that in a span of 2 days, I've been able to post 4 blogs. Just shows that there's not too much to do that I'd rather type my thoughts in here. I've started posting about my trip for next year. Not sure if anyone really has been reading my stuff though.

Well, to anyone just leave a comment/suggestions if you got any! hehe

Planning for next year's trip - Thailand 2010

Last November, I had the chance to grab one of Cebu Pacific's 50% off promo fare. It's a rush of excitement actually that it never really occurred to me how I'd budget the travel expenses. But later on, I consoled myself that I'm sure I can have a way to pay off my bills. Hehe.
Thailand is one of the destinations I wanted to try since I think it doesn't cost that much. Well that's what I think. 1 Thailand baht is just 1.40++ pesos. In February of 2009, I got to the chance to fly to HK with my cousin. And having the target of at least making it to one destination I've never been to a year, I thought Thailand could be the next one. And happily, it is! I was so overwhelmed that I immediately searched online of the perfect hotels and attractions to go to. Thailand has a lot to offer but I have to choose properly so we get the most out of our limited time and budget! We are actually five in the group so hopefully we could divide the expenses and hope it would be much more cheaper.
