Ilocandia Tour 2008

I have been to Ilocos several times before. And each trip is always a revelation about this far and hot region.

In my recent visit last October, I really felt how far it was to go there... Perhaps, our driver was moving so slowly (averaging only at 60 kph), thus the 8-hour travel turned into a gruesome 10-hour drive. Also, I was sick that time, so I really felt the discomfort of travel.

Nevertheless, this trip revealed another facet of Ilocos Sur for me. I learned quite a few things, and it's always nice to go back to the places you've once visited before...

I will post some of my travel pictures next time... They're just too many, and I'm quite impatient to upload them all....

SUNSET COVE... in BATAAN.

I recently went to Morong, Bataan to take part in the season finale shoot of Midnight DJ. It was my first time to visit Morong and I was impressed with the new expressway (Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway) that lessened the travel time of getting there. It was a very smooth ride and we were travelling at 160 kph... That's fast!

The beach was fine enough. When we got there in the morning (the sun was barely up from the east), the sand and the sea were not yet inviting... It was almost black-ish...

But the midday sun revealed its beauty... and I appreciated the verdant land (or hills) that safely protects the beach from the waves...

But the most spectacular view of all was none other than the sunset...(after all, this cove is named after this). It was fast and sweet... very lovely, indeed!

VIGAN: The Return

My work has always brought me to Vigan or Ilocos in general.  Next week, October 25, I am going there again to shoot/document the region's rich culinary tradition for Heny's Kitchen (a new cooking and travel show hosted by Heny Sison). 

Watch out for my posts regarding this trip... 

ENNUI...

Saturday night.  

The rain pours hard... 

The clothes are ready. 

But i'm immobile as a lard. 

Staring at the TV. 

This is ENNUI.  

The ROAMING PINOY Welcomes You!

I finally found the perfect title for my travel escapades, and thank heavens... it's available. I really love to roam around, hence... "Roaming Pinoy". Hopefully, I'll get the chance to write more about the places I've been to...

Why settle if you can roam?

ORIGINAL BLOGPOST:

Here's my nth attempt to create a blog. I can't seem to make up my mind what title would suit best my interests, thoughts, dreams, etc.

I guess, ANDYTOWN covers everything I want to write in one fell swoop.

After all, my blog is my tiny town in this vast virtual world...

Welcome to my town!
