Well my friends, I have some good news and I have some bad news. Which would you like first? Oh, the bad news? Sure. The bad news is, this is the last post for pop week. As a matter of fact, this is my last post for an actual week. Why you might ask? The good news, of course! I will be leaving for a trip to the Bahamas early tomorrow morning and therefore will not have internet access. To be honest, even if I do, I won’t be posting. Can you really blame me? I will, definitely however, take a ton of pictures. I will come back with lots of reviews of the food and maybe even share a dish that I learn while I am away.

But hey, until then, let’s feast!

In case you haven’t noticed yet, I adore easy recipes. If there is a shortcut to…

From here to home and beyond...

The Corpus Christi celebrations have been going on for weeks, well maybe 2 weeks and may linger on for a few more.  In Cuenca’s Parque Calderon the sidewalks are lined with sweetie stands.  During the day you can find all sorts of chocolates, coconut macaroons, doughnuts, lollypops, and a plethora of other sweets.  And when night falls firework castillos are set up and venders line the streets with games and empanadas, meats and all sorts of other things for sale; it is kind of like a carnival without the rides.  What kicks off the festivities is the procession at the end of Mass, the bishop carries the communion or body of Christ around Parque Calderon and everyone follows in adoration.   Usually, Corpus Christi starts the first or second week of June and lasts 7 days but each year it keeps lingering on longer.  It is a fun family event to…

Trong căn hộ lớn thuộc khu đô thị cao cấp Shinwa, ánh sáng ban mai rực rỡ từ ngoài cửa sổ hắt vào căn phòng ngủ khiến cho người đang nằm trên giường hơi nheo nheo đôi mắt. Sáng rồi… đó là suy nghĩ đầu tiên bật ra khi cậu mở mắt. Vươn vai tỉnh dậy, vặn người hai cái rồi bước xuống giường. Mở toang chiếc rèm phía cửa ban công, cậu trai có khuôn mặt thanh tú nở một nụ cười dịu dàng. Quay đầu nhìn cái người nào đó vẫn lười biếng không chịu dậy, cậu khúc khích cười, đi tới kéo kéo chiếc chăn mà anh đang trùm trên đầu xuống. Trong ánh mắt của cậu tràn ngập ấm áp và cả hạnh phúc. Cúi người hôn nhẹ lên môi người kia, cậu thì thầm.

The Sophomore Slump

So, what is everyone’s worst transportation experience while traveling?

I had my fair share of grueling travel experiences during transport.

Sabang Port definitely came as a surprise, and is quite unusual. From starting point in Manila, we encountered a test on endurance of boarding a 9-hour bus drive to Naga. Finding a comfortable sitting (sleeping) positions was a quite a challenge. Straight after was another hour minivan drive of cramped space.

As soon as we pull a stop in Guijalo Port, BAM! the commotion began. A group of men were running and hustling each other in pursuit to offer service of carrying the bags of passengers. We chose to carry our luggage ourselves. It was a short and easy drag. It was puzzling why these men were so eager to offer assistance.

And so we hit the sands of Guijalo Port, which is nothing like a port but a shore…
