Wanderlust Diary

I got this inspiration of writing a series from a book given by a friend. One of the things I’m obviously passionate about is travelling. Perfect Day will be about the places/things I will probably do in different cities if given a chance that I can spend a day without limitations.

Read the book! It’s quite exciting to read the lovely unknown places that tourists usually miss out. Short and concise guide that maybe I can also share. I hope others will also share their experiences as well!

I honestly got not much information on Bicol when I visited the place. With some vague history of Mt. Mayon and news of such foreign Survivor series at Caramoan , I was clueless with tourist spots, just drooling over thoughts of Laing and Bicol Express.

My friend Aimee tediously drafted a 4-day packed with activities as we head our way to some adventure. I would like to share her intense itinerary with some “freshen up” time every couple of hours, thankfully there were not much changes that we couldn’t handle aside from my friend Pane not waking up on time for her flight!

Let me summarize some wonderful thing one can do in the Bicol region:

1. Visit old churches
Philippines is famous for ancient churches so you might be interested in checking out some of the beautiful ones that hold so much history. Daraga church, Penafrancia Church, Cagsawa Church were some of the churches we visited.

Cagsawa Church was the one which was swallowed by lahar/ash/lava some centuries ago. It was quite eerie stepping on a burial ground of devoted people who only found shelter in the town Church. No disrespect intended but it seems that nowadays this area became some pictorial area where it has an excellent backdrop of Mayon.

I super miss this Singapore signature dish!!

Cereal prawns dish is a must try especially at No Signboard Restaurant…

I usually don’t eat prawn head but it was too yummy not to!

No signboard has this classy branch in Vivo City, while the one at Geylang will bring out nostalgia for most Singaporeans..I think it was the first branch of the restaurant. Their huge crabs are still one of the best, especially the White pepper crab!

I didn’t know what I was thinking…

Scared as I was, I had to try…I had to test my limits!

Wake boarding was the one of the least things I can imagine I would do. I’m super clumsy plus unbalance non sporty girl..but I need to try.

So when we visited Camarines Sur in Bicol, we had to stay at CWC for a quick wake boarding try…well for me, I managed to make a full round for more than 20 tries.
