I am feeling so overly productive these past few days. Three months have passed since this trip, and I finally edited a few videos we took during our trip. Whenever I'm with these two, it always feels like home. (Halata naman siguro sa mga tawa namin. Lol) Watch 'til the end on how Batangueñas really talk, even in foreign land. :)

A few of our travel diaries below!

A Day in Ubud

Seminyak & Bali Eats

Nusa Penida Island Experience

From Camp Sawi in Cebu last year, to Broken Beach in Bali this year. Now, where to next?

It took me a while to write about our experience in Nusa Penida Island. I was hesitant, because part of me wanted to agree with all the positive reviews on the internet. But who am I kidding? This isn't gonna be a review or a where-to-go kind of travel post. You can find a lot of travel tips, itineraries and suggestions on the world wide web (Does anyone still call it like that?) or on Facebook groups where I actually got ours. Rather, this is a travel diary where I'm just gonna share our firsthand experience at the island. But for the benefit of my future self, I will (I think) publish a post about our actual itinerary, expenses and some first hand experienced tips.

Keeping up with the sequel of our Cebu trip last year, we went to Bali for 4 days last March. Pam and Alvie flew from Manila, whilst I flew from Singapore. Our first day/night was spent in Ubud. Then we stayed in Seminyak for the remaining days.

Apparently, we didn't get to to try surfing, which I would blame to our lazy asses. Lol So here's what went down on our second and last day in Bali.

Pro Tip : If you're a party goer, then stay in Kuta (although there are also decent bars around Seminyak too). But if you prefer exploring cafes and restaurants, then stay in Seminyak.

Finally, here's the sequel to our epic, adventure-filled (or lack thereof) tri-island North Cebu trip last year! (Intrigue? Find more about it here, and here, and here. )

We are three long-distance friends who basically met more than ten years ago when our only world was our precious little town of Ibaan, Batangas, Philippines; friends who now have a bit of luxury to travel and have expanded that little world over the time. We are friends who used to be inseparable, but then life threw us oceans across from each other. And that, made this trip more specifically special and exciting. Our yearly ganap, as I want to call it.
