Manila Month Long Trip

It is my first time to travel in Manila and I couldn't contain my happiness that I made it here alone. Thanks to Cebu Pacific 25 peso seat sale :) best friends na talaga tayo :)

I have contacted my friends from Pasay and was so thankful that they will have me in their place to stay and to have an instant tour guide around Manila. They have fetched me on the airport last 6th of August. Thank you Coleen and Ash.

I welcome Myself in Manila!

Friends have asked me.. Why Manila? "It's not a good place to visit and the cost of living is pretty expensive" and they keep on telling me that what if I got lost..? Haha Opo.. palagi po akon nawawala even in Cagayan de Oro City. They have been calling me clumsy because there was a time that I fall from a dump truck and to my other recklessness. By the way, dump trucks are the means of transportation during each climbs from the meeting area to the jump off area. Anyway, I do believe that everything will always have a first time and the next part will be easy. Yes, I haven't been away from my comfort zone and the idea of travelling alone feels exciting.

As a newbie in blogging, I was amazed with the travels made by some blog travel bloggers and +1 to solo backpacker. That made me curious and wants to try backpacking myself and this upcoming trip will be the first step. Aja!

I tried to read read and read more blogs. See interesting placed and learn their history and culture. Wow! The thought itself made me shiver and excited. i just can't understand why other people can't feel what I felt.

So what will I do when I get there? As Manila being the center point of all trips, I tried to look for available trips who can accommodate solo traveler. As a starter, I only join trips, hindi ko carry and mag do it your own trips.. Maybe next time. Haha! Luckily, I came to Gafa Tours' site. They offer several tour packages at nandun pa talaga ang gusto ko. SAGADA Mania! I immediately book myself. The first time I check, I was the first person to book for 26-29, the longest weekend for the month of August. Buti na lang. Then I thought, parang 1 is not enough for a month long stay, so I find another exciting tour. Just I remember, a friend introduce Zambales and try surfing but I couldn't find a tour for the said area but I did found Istokewa Surf Tours. At nagbook agad ako. Parang hindi na ako makakauwi sa amin nito o baka wala na talaga ako pamasahe pauwi O wala na ako makain during those trips.

Hindi naman ako masyadong busy sa August noh? At syempre, the remaining weekends is to tour around Manila and to visit their historic places such as Intramuros. why not? and of course to watch Juris Gig.
