Shopping at Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh
June 28, 2010
After we rested for a few minutes in our hostel, we headed out and looked for a place to eat.
We went inside the first decent looking restaurant we saw and asked for a menu. We were famished! I laughed when I saw one of their dishes named Peter breakfast. Haha!
Yum yum!

Sexy Nomad’s 4th Birthday Gift
May 14, 2010 
Howdy! Sexy Nomad is now 4 years old! As such, she has thought about transfering to another home. So from now on, all new PERSONAL posts shall be published at
I will still retain this blog though for non-personal travels and stuff.
When you do visit my new blog (and a couple of other blogs on my blog roll), you might see some old posts there on the front page. This is because I am slowly transfering all my posts (starting from the most interesting and most viewed) from here to my new home, one by one. Yeah, it’s such a massive task! Just thinking about it is making my heart beat so fast. I guess coz I find it exciting… Teehee. It would be nice to go back to my old posts and see how much I’ve grown, from an emotional wreck I was 4 years ago, to this happier, more mature girl that I am now. ^_^
So anyway, I just want to let you know. And if you have a better idea on how I can do this more efficiently, let me know. I think I need all the help I can get, seeing that I almost never sleep these days and I’m always bombarded with work. (Buti na lang nag-eenjoy ako.) ^_^
Ciao folks! And see you at the other side.
Potipot Island - How To Get There

That little oblong-shaped island from afar is Potipot Island, as seen from the beach of Dawal Resort in Uacon, Candelaria, Zambales. This is where we rented a boat for only Php 400 round trip.

Palay-Isdaan Mini Zoo and Carlos Beach in Pagbilao, Quezon
April 28, 2010Earlier on this Black Saturday, we left Dampalitan Island at around lunch time. On the way back home, I hoped to pass by another beach I wanted to check out — Carlos Beach. I came across Carlos Beach while doing my research online. It’s at the end of the road that also leads to Pueblo Por Playa, a member’s only beach club in Barangay Bantigue, occupying most of its coastline. We got lost a couple of times because we couldn’t find Carlos Beach even after we passed by Pueblo Por Playa. So we started asking around. Apparently, the end of the road which we thought was the ultimate end of the road in Barangay Bantigue was not. We had to go a little further into that narrow road leading to Carlos Beach. Finally, when we got there, it was unfortunate that Carlos Beach was not as impressive as I thought it would be. Entrance fee is only Php 20.00 and and use of table is for Php 50.oo each. It is a small picnic ad beach resort with a fish pond at the back. Since it was Black Saturday, it was full of people mostly kids and oldies. After taking a few photos, we left and just decided to go straight home.

Dampalitan Island, Malaking Talabaan, Maliit na Talabaan in Padre Burgos, Quezon: Holy Week 2010 Part V
April 24, 2010This post is about the places my husband Peter, and I, explored last Black Saturday… If you want to start this Padre Burgos beach travelogue from the beginning, please click the following links:
~~~oOo~~~
I woke up the following morning, which was a Black Saturday, at around 4:00 am. The beach was dark except for the moonlit and starlit sky. I can still see the outline of the gorgeous mountain ranges from afar. I stayed inside the tent hoping that Peter will wake up as well… to no avail. So I tried going back to sleep. At 5:00 a.m., I really wasn’t feeling sleepy anymore so I nudged Peter beside me to wake him up. I needed to pee. I didn’t want to go all the way to the public restroom area and pass by the tents of all the other sleeping campers, so I asked Peter to accompany me to a nearby bush instead where I can do number 1. Teehee. By the time we went back to our tent, I saw some fishermen docking their boats and going to our area. Apparently, they were trying to sell us some newly caught Tilapya fish and crabs. I wasn’t really in the mood to buy coz one, we didn’t bring any grill where we can cook it; two, we didn’t know how to make fire; and three, I don’t wanna be too full that it will make me do number 2. I try to avoid doing that whenever we camp. I’d rather stay on a strict diet so my tummy can wait all the way back home or somewhere more civilized where I can relieve myself. But anyway, the fishermen were really very insistent. They even volunteered to borrow the grill of our neighbor campers (who were still sleeping) without their knowledge and also made fire for us with the use of coconut husks. I felt pity for them so we ended up buying Php 120.00 worth of fresh Tilapya. Not bad. It did taste so yummy and I finished one huge piece.
The rest of our early morning was spent walking by the beach, still dressed in my makeshift PJs, waiting for the sun to shine.The tide was low and the beach seemed wider that early morning.
