Taken from Nueva Vizcaya

/ iamsupercarla / Leave a comment

Last week, we did a marketing blitz and product orientation run in our Ilagan branch.  Actually, we’ll be doing a lot of runs till the end of the month.

For those who have not traveled by land to Isabela, it’s about 10 hours away from Manila.  That’s not even an exaggeration.  We left early, like 4 in the morning early, and still arrived after lunch, 2:30 to be exact.

Anyway, in the middle of the long and winding road, I woke up to find that we’re in Nueva Vizcaya.  I looked out the window and saw this:

I think I should explore the countryside more.  I keep forgetting how beautiful it is.  A fleeting moment, and I was fortunate to capture it as still as this.

Coastal view

On our way to visit Lola, our car broke down along Coastal Road.  It was quite depressing considering how desserted that place can be.  The entrance and the exit ways are just too far from each other.  My brothers had to remove the tires and carry them to the nearest gas station for vulcanizing.  Then, I was left in the van alone with my smoking dad…. and I looked out the window.


Maybe this place isn’t so desserted after all.

Bye Coron!

It is always hard to end a vacation.  Even though this place is not as technologically advanced as I thought it should be, I have to admit that it was the perfect escape from our usual busy days.


This is our last sunrise (moonset?) in Busuanga.  I will definitely  miss the place, mainly because it made me like sea water.  To be honest, I never really liked it before, but when I saw what it has to offer me, I am not ashamed to admit that it has completely whopped me in the ass.  I have been missing out on a lot.

I never really got to show where we stayed at in Concepcion, Busuanga.


We had to wake up again at the crack of dawn because there is only one jeepney that goes from Concepcion to Coron town proper.  It was literally just one jeepney.  We crammed ourselves in it and the driver did something I will never forget.

He must have went back and forth three times all over Concepcion, just scouring for people who need a ride to Coron.  Along the way, he would stop and greet people who, in turn, will hand him cash and a list wrapped in plastic and a few containers.  It didn’t take long for us to realize that he’s going to run errands for these people.  We think it’s because some of them can’t afford to go to Coron — either they can’t leave their houses/tasks or they just literally can’t.

The ride took about 3 hours, but when we got to Coron we’re still too early to check in.  We went to the airport nonetheless.

Being a weekend, the place was jampacked.

So my brothers and I went back to our usual stuff to do.

It’s amazing how different we are from each other, and to be honest, I didn’t really think I will enjoy this break as much as I did.  For a moment, I forgot how cool and funny and amazing my brothers were.  Coron reminded me of that.

Our next goal is to have everyone in the clan to come and visit this place.  I promised myself before that day comes, I will be a certified scuba diver.

MEH GANON?!

And here are some parting shots from the beautiful town of Coron!  Till next time!


Day 13: Yourself with 13 things

It was a really busy day in the office and in my head, there is no way I will be able to pull off this day’s challenge.  But then I noticed I have so many shit on my desk, it’s impossible for me to not pass this challenge!


When I first started working here, I noticed that there is no way I can put a corkboard.  Everything was cubed and all we had to hold up our most important notes and reminders were magnets.  So, in short, I went on a magnet craze.  I think it was a good month too.  Each time I had free time, I’d drag Anj or Ranna to the nearest National Bookstore and buy magnets.  Anj eventually grew tired of it that when I start to check out magnets, she’ll scream my name.  Like really.  Like a mom saying put that down.  Hahahaha.

So there.  My thirteen magnets.  Actually they’re about 20, but the challenge just asked for 13 so…

Day 12: Sunset

This is the sunset we get at Circle Road.  For a moment, I actually thought that living in the south means it’s a less congested area.  Boy, I thought wrong.


I should re-do this day.  Once I find the opportunity to find a better location.
